Fiio FH7 vs Fearless S8Freedom/ S8z

[Amal_Vajdan]

The Fiio’s have excellent reviews all around. Highly appreciated if somebody can advise me which one is better overall.

Looking for IEM’s at 500$, but willing to push +80$ if it is really worth it. Any recommendations welcome!

Current setup - Android Phone + USB Audio Player Pro + Hidizs Sonata USB-C DAC + Hifiman RE400 + Tidal.

Thanks!

Been a few threads about those two

Ok who has a pair of the FiiO FH7's

What other IEMs do you have? I’m really thinking hard on the FH7’s as well.

Anyone with the first-hand Fearless Audio S8F experience?

I was gonna do paper, rock, scissors with the misses, one of us being the FH7’s and the other the S8F lol… I do prefer the look of the S8F but the DD of the 7’s kinda swung it for me plus when #progdvd mentioned about adding a couple of db to the treble that’s a no no for me, if he had said he needed to reduce it by a couple then this would’ve been a plus for me…yes I know it’s all personal preferences at the end of the day but I do like my treble

If anybody is still wondering about this, i have found early impressions on the Fearless s8z here - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/torankus-thoughts-and-reviews-thread-constantly-updated.895832/page-60#post-15422980

to my understanding the fearless’ are a bit more aggressive and V shaped sound sig. please do tell me if you (reading this) know something more about Fearless IEM’s

So far, all of us who have asked this ended up getting the FH7! All of us with that dilemma have also been extremely happy with them! So, all of that to say I can’t speak the the S8s and we are still wondering how they sound … but the FH7s are amazing!

I’m joining the club too. I ordered an FH7 and BTR5 yesterday. and time has stopped!

Recommend Fiio FH7
DUNU DK-3001 Pro and iBasso IT04 are good too

[Amal_Vajdan]

Is there any advantage with the FH7 if you run in with Balanced? I’ve read that it does’nt on reddit.

you are using a 1/4th connector from what i see, any advantages there?

[Ohmboy]

I prefer the non-balanced out put of the Micro over the Balanced one on my Nano but i’ve not done a back to back balanced non-balanced on the Nano as of yet.
