šŸ”¶ FiiO FH3 2BA 1DD

If I want foam I use the ones that came with them, but Dekoni tips are pretty nice.
I use them on some other IEMs

Iā€™m looking to get the Fiio Fh3 today (since its 11.11 and some discount).
Been going between these and the starfield.

Currently I own the blon 03 and the fit on them sucks (not even talking about getting a good fit, they simply fall off my ear sometime).

Going around looking at reviews seems everyone suggest Fh3 over starfield. Is there any thing I need to get with them (like cable upgrade etc)

Stock cable sounds great imo, but it picks up a ton of sound if it bumps into stuff, so if you plan on mobile use a different cable is a good call.

Do you have cable suggestion. Looking to spend at max 20$ on the cable

I donā€™t personally own this one but it seems to be the go-to low cost cable for a lot of people.

Those are the 3 best measuring cable at that price that I know of.

Lol
I have T500 comply foam 0.5 mm
but they donā€™t fit on fh3
but spinfit cp145 have 0.45 mm
how they fit on fh3 :smiley:

FH3 > Starfield all day everyday.

I wasnā€™t a fan of the stock cable, too heavy and microphonic. Go with any of the recommendations above.

I bought a 2nd set. Iā€™ve been swapping between bluetooth and my home setup daily and the connectors which were sooooo tight when I first got these are now letting the cables loose with little effort. Pretty sure Iā€™m gonna end up killing them like this, so one will live on the bluetooth hooks from now on and one will stay at the desk. Considered looking for another IEM instead of doubling up but nah, I love these things.

Also caved and decided to buy a nice cable for the desk setup, ordered the Dunu DUW02 as well as a balanced adapter. I should be set on everything IEM related now.

TRI Through Iā€™m interested. How are the ear hooks? Is it comfier compared to stock cable? Is it lighter then stock cable? What ear hook type was the most comfortable to you? Iā€™m looking for something with smooth soft feel. Thereā€™s gotta be endgame stuff in this department. Any suggestions?

The Through weights similarly with the stock FH3 cable. But it has a much smoother and softer ear hook. Much better than the stock cable. It is tied with the Faaeal litz copper cable as my nr 1 cable recommendation.

Currently C+ (I rate them about 9.25/10, quite good. The best SQ Iā€™ve heard in an IEM so far, but Iā€™ve only heard up to the $200 range + Blessing 2)

Interesting storyā€¦ I bought my FH3 on Amazon, ā€œ1 left in stockā€, ā€œArrives by Nov 21ā€. Then I checked the FH3 page to see if it said, ā€œout of stockā€. It now says, ā€œIn stockā€, ā€œArrives (soonest) by Nov 16ā€ā€¦ So, I ordered THAT one, and cancelled the slow one lol. Wtf???

You disagree with him?

Absolutely, their track record with the FH3 is saying otherwise about his statement:

lol THAT part. I just read the review.
And yes, that is something hard to ignore with the amount of flaws people have encountered.

I also find it very bad that they only have a rep now (when the hype is dying down) instead of the startg when I literally called out (another Fiio rep) about the issues, only to be ignored.

Hello, iā€™m very interested in this thread.
So far iā€™ve got 3 iems, my first was Tin T2, then Satrfield, and tin T4. Iā€™m using Galaxy S8+ Tempotech sonata HD Pro, with a male to female jack cable extension, before pluging in my iem, to force it to give its full powerā€¦
Tin T2 still impresses me, yes it lacks sub-bass and there is a lot of trebles. But it is punchy on mid bass (i love them), they arenā€™t fatiguing, especialy since i got the DAC. Mids could a bit more bright.
I only use silicon tips, they are so much better soundind and confortable!
Starfield, areā€¦ good, soundstage is pretty good too (as good as tin T2), BUT something is lacking. It is like if you were listening music in a different place from where it is playing. Sound seems distant, you are well surounded, but you are not there! Not enough impact, brightness, on electric guitars, not enough punch on bass, trebles are ok. Resolution is good, butā€¦
Tin T4 are BRIGHT, but they sound so good! Whatever iā€™m listening it is lively, energetic, you areā€¦THERE! Listening Dire Straits (DSD), everything is superb (bass, guitar, vocals, imaging, soundstage), i have no other word. Listening just the first notes of ā€œonce upon i time in the westā€ is just pure emotion.
When listening hard rock (ACDC, Queens of the stone edge) Guitars sounds agressive (in a good sense), it is realy good. Mids are realy forward (i like that), and maybe i would like bass to come more forward with them, especialy on busicn tracks (metal, stonerā€¦). The more iā€™m listening T4, the more i prefer them other the Starfield.
Can these FH3 do that, i mean bringing the bass while keeping lively mids, trebles and vocales on buier musics?
Thanks.

Edit on 18/12/2020: i bought Spinfit CP145 (M and L). I have to say that the Starfield sound really better, i should say ā€œreally goodā€, i have no more complaint about them!
Still waiting for the FH3 (Christmasā€¦), really want to try them!

Mids are definitely forward on FH3, I would say. And everything about FH3 sounds quite natural/real, lively and interesting(and just great). Do it :slight_smile: They poop on pretty much every IEM and earbud Iā€™ve heard up to ~$200.

How does Fiio FH3 sound compared to Ibasso IT01? I kinda dislike the mids in it01, I think itā€™s too thin for my taste, would FH3 fix the issues?

short answer is yes,
just test the FH3 on busier music like super fast crowded metal song or orchestra, it sound so good.
The best thing about FH3 is the bass, I donā€™t mean that it deliver a huge bass quantity, but the bass quality is amazing, without a negative effect on mids.

plus, you could EQ the bass without any distortion.

much love from Indonesia, :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:
