đŸ”¶ FiiO FH3 2BA 1DD

Dont know yet. I am only familiar with the one I like the least out of the 3 configs I can use. It is the neutral config and I like it enough to put it in S rank lol.

But I can say that the A7 sounds much more natural with much better timbre than the A6 and the Imaging is outclassing the A6 (the best imaging on all my iems).
(This is with the neutral config (Monitor-Red) vs the pink filter on the A6)

Ok cool, nice to hear about it

V’s the L5?

dont have it lol.

Fdx1 will be a great compliment since it is very different imo. Very neutral super detail with some sub bass. It leans cold, but that is its charm with music and can be tweaked slightly to have have a fuller sound if needed. Never getting rid of it! :smiley:

Same problem. My bass in the right ear is now DEAD. I bought on aliexpress. I try contact the vendor and Fiio. So sad.

Damn, dude. Sorry to hear that. If you got it on Aliexpress you can open a dispute and at least you’ll get a refund.

I saw in another thread they’ll just replace the unit if you send the item back to China, which in most cases end up being expensive to deal with the shipping price to China.

Even though my pair is OK so far, I’m really starting to think I might just return them over the QC concerns. I purchased my pair through FiiO’s store on Amazon US so hopefully that should be hassle free. I’ve been paralyzed from even buying a cable for them over fear that they might die. It’s just not feeling worth the worry.

Exactly. Idk how i’ll solve this.

Did Fiio respond to your inquiry?

Sucks that so many people are having QC issues with these. Mine have no issues so far aside from the insanely tight connections, hoping that holds out. I bought through amazon and have a warranty but I’d still be really bummed.

On a positive(?) note, these have ruined my whole audio setup. Like
 What these are doing just works with the stuff I listen to so well that I really haven’t wanted to touch my headphones. I’ve tried going back a few times and I always end up missing the “low end injected directly into my brain” delivery that these have. I’m seriously considering selling some stuff that I thought I would hold on to forever because I’m getting equal to superior enjoyment from these.

My music collection ranges from rock to extreme music genres like deathcore, leaning more towards the latter but hitting pretty much every genre in between, if anyone cares. Not what you’d call typical audiophile listening, I guess.

Also gonna add, for anyone that may be inspired to get these after reading my hype-riddled posts, I EQ pretty heavily. I don’t listen anything stock and I gave these a pretty substantial bump in both the 5k and 12k ranges, as well as a little low-end bump.

They’re good stock, but none of my “holy shit” reactions are coming from the stock sound. Just something to keep in mind.

Heyooo
 newbies here,. Quick question to @PapaEmeritus have you gotten your thor yet? What’s your ootb impression compare to this, would this suffice a basshead needs? Me myself using zs10pro with boosted bass from fiio e17
 . does this eq well?

Waiting for thor mjolnir review aside from bggar to come out before i pull the trigger.

I will have to prove my problem on video to the seller. If I cannot prove it, I will have no right of return. What a headache.

"Please follow the product instructions to pair the goods with the corresponding device correctly first ,then make sure your connection process was correct ,

then use the product playing music or audio and adjust the volume to show us the sound problem in a clear video;

if the seller make a counterclaim againse your claim/evidence in the dispute,you may need to show in your evidence that you are testing the product according to the

seller’s instructions/advice in order to help us to confirm the problems."

What a pain in the ass. Even through video if you out a straight up bass heavy song or a super low frequency playing I’m still sure it will be easy to prove that your dynamic driver died

Just like with my focal headphones I had considered returning the fh3 due to concerns about QC but they actually don’t have an issue so far so I guess they r in the safe zone

I think using a tone generator like this is easier than using music: https://onlinetonegenerator.com/frequency-sweep-generator.html

Hi, thank you very much. Glad you are enjoying them! :smiley:

As for the Faaeal cable, I dont have any problems with them and use them with almost all my iems. (I got 5, wished I bought 10 or more lol).


Really gorgeous,
but maybe it’s better if the connector is black?

Thats a great picture!

Guess it helps having a phone with a decent camera lol.

I actually prefer if the FH3 were silver, since black doesnt look that nice to me. I am a sucker for the chrome silver metal iems. :joy:


just like the big brother,
