FiiO FH7 Headphones Wired Earphones Earbuds in-Ear High Resolution Deep Bass 1DD+4BAs Hybrid IEMs with DIY Sound Filters for Smartphones/PC/Laptop/Tablet (Black)

This has been a hard review to write as my feeling on the product have changed drastically over the time that I have had with these iems. When I first took the out of the box I was blown away by the build quality and feel of these iems. They felt great in the ear and the cord had a lovely braided cabling that was not prone to tangle. So my first impression was all stars and roses as I perused the vast array of ear tips and filters to try out. I left the filter in the default setup and selected the bass tips from the box and set out for my first journey with these iems. It was an unpleasant journey with the overly bright sounds crushing my hopes for the sound of my dreams. This was not just a brightness and harshness but an emphasis on sibilance even at low volumes that bordered on painful. To top this all off the bass was missing from the equation and any attempt to pump up the volume to bring up the levels crashed back into the sibilance problem. So I endeavoured to try the filters everyone was raving about, maybe this would be my golden ticket. So out went the default filter and in went the bass filter in hopes of finding the bass but instead just found more of the same.

I would give zero stars on all counts of Amazons customer service if it were possible.

Im a professional musician and a sound snob - very picky on speakers and headphones. Best headphones Ive ever heard!! I use them now all the time. Love the clarity!!

Definitely an upgrade when compared to my westone 3 but the fit is not as good.

jaime bien le son, bonne basse mais manque un peu disolation de bruit.

Amazing sound quality, imaging, soundstage etc. Seal is ok, not the best, but far from bad. Comfort is 8/10, as they are a bit on the big size. I bought Fiios 4mm cable as they are not included in the package. If pairing it with a Fiio DAP, make sure not to use their default player as I found it to be much worse than other players such as Foobar 2000 with regards to the low end spectrum.

The sound is incredible, especially for small IEMs. The only problem I have is that they are relatively heavy and the right earpiece tends to slide down slightly, making the vocals seem slightly to the left. I am trying different tips with them and Im sure the problem lies with my ears. Overall, I can highly recommend them.

Coming from mid/entry earphones and headphones, these FH7 blew me away. I also purchased the 2.5mm balanced cable from Fiio, which is a must, I wish Fiio included them as part of the package at this price point it would be a nice addiction. to get the best sound, takes a while trying the different foams/tips, need to spend some time trying. Im using them with the Fiio M9, which I may be upgrading to M11.

So I wanted to own these for a while before I made a review. Overall I am very happy with these!! I have been a Fiio fan for a with their portable dacs and amps. This is my first time using their IEMs, and I wasnt disappointed. I wont be able to compare them to any other brands of this price range cause these are the only ones I own (I love music, but I dont need to own several sets of headphones/IEMs). Also Im not the most technical audiophile either, just someone who likes to enjoy his music.

I was skeptical about spending about half a grand on these IEMs. Based on some of the initial impressions form audiophile reviewers I decided to purchase these. I am very used to the planar sound signature of Audeze LCDs and have been looking for a close sound signature in terms of detail, clarity, soundstage, impactful and tight bass, great Mids and vocal and ofcourse crystal highs in an IEM. I put the FH7s on and 5 songs in I know I had a winner on my hands. It hit on all the right spots. The soundstage is great but not as close to LCD3 (but to be fair they are open back planars). The first 60 minute listen was directly connected to iPhone. Then I hooked it up to a DAC/AMP, it was a whole another level, you gotta listen to it to believe it. I just cant take these IEMs off. Everything sounds so great, Rock, Pop, Hip-hop, Jazz. Listening to Dave Brubecks Take Five on these IEMs is a revelation. I am very happy, pleased, and impressed with what FiiO has done with the FH7s. Thank you FiiO.
