Any chance ofna graph? Curioud about DLC vs Bery. If it sounds as good or better than fd5, tames the treble and is more confortable, I can the sales flying
yeah, if I really wont get a set. They will be blacklisted for me. I refuse to give money to companies that wants reviewers to shill for them (or no freebies).

They usually have a graph on their site, wait a day or 2 to see if they have one. The page isnt finished yet as there are a lot of pictures from the FD5 mixed into it.

One of the reasons I was such a Fiio fan was reviewer feedback from the likes of you and @hawaiibadboy stating that of all the manufacturers, Fiio was great because they sent out items for review and never held your opinions against you guys and they actually asked you for your feedback! That was a company I wanted to support. Since that’s changed, I’ve also changed my feelings about the brand in general as a consumer of their products.

From the chinese link I posted somewhere above, it seems to be a bright iem. Since the article mentioned that the male vocals arent good but “female poison” is good. (AKA, 3k peak → shouty female vocals).
Exactly.
This is what they said when I asked them about the FD3
I am a bit confused about the “fixed” reviewer part, but since they said sorry at the end. I am guessing I am not one of those “fixed” reviewers. I did send them a confirmation mail, simply asking If I wont get one. (Been 3 days since, and no reply.)

If its even comparable to fd5 treble, its an hard pass for me. And this is coming from a guy that has Tsmr Land lol
Zeos and cople more that like everything Fiio does. I love Fiio, have a lot of products, but this is semi-shilling at its best.
A lot of people on head-fi shilled it. Using excuses as burn in and cable swaps lol.

It is shilling. Not a positive review? No more units for you.

I do believe in burn in to some point. Ests and DDs change with burn in. But it wont make the IEM good 
Burn in (or brain burn in) made FD5 from bad to torable treble for me.
Dont even get me started on cables…
MRS actually burned them in and measured them
Ironically it has a bit MORE treble after burn in lol (the opposite of what the burn in believers claimed).
Different cable did absolutely nothing.

It really sucks because the FH7 & FH3 are both some of my favorite all-time IEMs. I even give Fiio credit for trying something different with the FH5s, unfortunately, it hasn’t become a fan favorite like some of their other products, but to lash out against anyone who didn’t love it goes against what I’d like to see in a manufacturer. They have a ways to go before I buy another Fiio product again.
