Excellent review, thank you. I just bought these paired with FiiO M11 Plus and very pleased with the sound. What would your recommendation be for the gain setting on the DAP for IEM's? Medium gain with higher volume setting, or High Gain with lower volume setting?

Thank you! There is no "right" way to select gain, just do whatever is more convenient to you. I usually prefer to stick to the lowest gain that is loud enough, so in cases of random volume jump, your ears (and earphones) will be more secure

I own, and LOVE, my FH9. Do you think owning the FH9 and FH7S would be almost "redundant", or would it make sense owning both of them to you? Thank you!

I have both and I felt FH9 more technical, but FH7s with better tonality.

I also have both and love both. FH9 is more sub bass focused FH7S more mid bass focused. I don't regret having both they are similar but different. If you want something to complement your FH9 the FiiO FD7 would be a better choice.

I just wanted to wrote that FH9 is more neutal and tecnical, and FH7S is more "fun" and engaging, but others already wrote that :) thank you, friends! I'd probably also prefered to have FD7 as a second pair, but not because FH7S worse, but because I'm a fan of good single DD models

Nice review! Is the fd7 the one that is slightly more detail and faster you mean? I have fd5, is this just another fd5 in hybrid or an actual upgrade?
@PortaFi
Жыл бұрын
Thank you! I'd said that it's a "sidegrade" for FD5. FH7S has bigger stage (not by a big margin, but anyway), and offers more "fun" signature, focusing on "engaging" moments of sound. Also it's a bit less bright than FH7S

Hi, wonder if FH7s would be a significant upgrade from Fiio FH3? Currently, i'm looking for an upgrade for my FH3

As far as I remember, FH7s is even more "fun", but probably it's closer to FH3 then other models.

You meant similar FH9 right? FH3 are way behind.

Hi, which one is better fh7s or fa9 in terms of soundstage/mid/top/bass? :)
@PortaFi
Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately I didn't A/B test them, but "by memory" FH7S is more tight and more impactful on the lows (13.6 mm DD is not a joke), bit less polite on the treble and has slightly more weight on the mids. In terms of stage, FH7S is a bit more spacious, but I can be wrong here, as such things are hard to compare "by memory"

just calling something "a fact" doesn't make one. especially in such a subjective thing like audio for me for example FD5 and FD7 are really superb. and recent hybrids are pretty great too

For example? I have FH7, I listened FH9, both great quality, with very good, clean sound. Of course the source of sound is important as well.
