Fun

I don't leave too many reviews unless I dislike stuff, but these don't seem to be getting any love, so I thought to share my impressions.

The IEMs look huge, but, worry not, they are light, fit well and don't seem to want to keep dropping out of my ears. The cable and included accessories are top notch. No complaints there.

The sound. Oh I have a hard time putting these in a warm/ neutral/ sharp class. The bass is awesome, but then so is the treble and the mids don't feel left out . It's like V shaped fun went nuts and the fun is across the frequency range. I'm sure something must be lacking but these seem to be very little of that. Not to say that these are the perfect headphones, I'm sure normal isn't meant to sound so lively, but damn, I do like these.

I don't know if these are truly open or the grill is just for show, but these do feel more open than other IEMs. That can be a plus or not, depending on your use case. Stage is good enough and imaging is spot on.

For me, these were a stand out product.

Hi Nitin Bhandari,
We are so happy you took out time & elaborately reviewed the product. We are sure this will help our customers to make an even better & informed decision.

2.5mm & 4.4mm Balanced Plugs

Tweak & Tune the Sound

Why settle for a fixed sound signature when you can shape your audio experience exactly to your preferences 🎛️?


I love products that put you in the driver's seat of your audio journey. These specialised headphones come equipped with sophisticated, customisable tuning capabilities that let you adjust every aspect of the frequency spectrum. Think of it like having a personal audio chef who can adjust the recipe to your exact taste - more bass for your workout playlist, clearer mids for podcasts, or sparkling highs for classical music.

When you encounter "🔧 Tweak & Tune the Sound" products, expect complete sonic customisation that adapts perfectly to your unique listening preferences across different genres.

Built like a Tank

Durability concerns? Rest assured 💪.


I tend to describe these products as audio equipment that's built to survive anything you can throw at them. These headphones incorporate high-grade metal components and reinforced design elements that ensure they can handle demanding conditions while maintaining structural integrity. Think of them as the military-grade vehicles of the audio world - over-engineered for reliability and built to last decades, not just years.


The metal construction provides exceptional strength and longevity while contributing to a premium feel that serious audio enthusiasts appreciate. Whether you're a professional who needs reliable daily-use equipment or someone who values long-term investment in audio gear 🏗️.

I believe in giving you complete freedom to customise your listening experience. These IEMs feature detachable cable systems that let you swap, upgrade, or replace cables whenever you want. Think of it like having a modular smartphone - you can upgrade individual components without replacing the whole device. Whether you're looking to improve sound quality, try different materials, or simply replace a worn cable, the choice is entirely yours.


The standardised upgradeable cable connection ensures compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket cables, giving you access to different sound characteristics and build qualities.

Why it Sounds Amazing

Hybrid Drivers

Looking for a combo of rich and detailed sound 🎵?


I love describing hybrid drivers as getting "the best of both worlds" in one beautifully engineered package. These headphones feature sophisticated hybrid technology that masterfully combines different driver types to deliver extraordinary sonic experiences. Think of it like having a sports car with luxury comfort - you get the precision and speed of performance engineering combined with the richness and smoothness of premium materials.


By integrating multiple driver technologies, these devices achieve both rich, full-bodied sound and intricate detail reproduction. The result is a harmonious blend that captures subtle nuances and powerful dynamics, with each driver type contributing unique strengths to create a complete audio experience ⚖️.


When you see "🔈 Hybrid Drivers" products, expect expertly balanced performance that combines the best characteristics of different driver technologies for complete musical enjoyment.

Balanced Sound Signature

In my experience, a balanced sound signature is like a well-cooked meal—nothing overpowering, everything in harmony. If you’re someone who listens to a bit of everything—rock one day, jazz the next—this is the tuning I’d recommend. It doesn’t boost any part of the sound unnaturally, so what you hear is often how the artist intended it. 🎧


Here’s what’s actually happening: the headphones don’t favour bass, mids, or treble excessively. This results in a neutral, natural, and versatile sound that suits a wide variety of music genres. While it may not feel as “exciting” as some more coloured tunings, balanced headphones tend to offer the most accurate reproduction, making them a favourite among audiophiles and studio pros alike.

Crisp Vocals & Instruments

Vocals and instruments sound so good, it's like a warm hug 🤗!


I believe that when vocals are reproduced correctly, they should feel like the artist is performing right there with you. These headphones demonstrate exceptional prowess in reproducing clear, articulate vocals and instruments, with each element rendered in stunning detail and separation. Think of it like having front-row seats to an intimate acoustic performance where every breath, every string resonance, every subtle inflection comes through perfectly.


The natural timbre and tonal accuracy create an engaging presentation where every nuance is preserved while maintaining fatigue-free listening. Each word, note, and subtle inflection is reproduced with outstanding definition and emotional connection 🎤.


When you encounter "🍿 Crisp Vocals & Instruments" products, expect vocal excellence that brings you closer to the emotional heart of every performance.

Bright & Sparkly Highs

Who says treble can't be done right ⭐?


I tend to describe these headphones as having "magical sparkle" in the high frequencies that makes cymbals shimmer and vocals shine without ever becoming harsh. These products excel in delivering pristine, crystalline high frequencies with remarkable precision and finesse. Think of it like the difference between cheap glitter and real diamonds - both sparkle, but one does it with elegance and refinement that never hurts your eyes.


The treble presentation is masterfully tuned to showcase delicate nuances in the upper register, offering brilliant and engaging listening without fatigue. Every cymbal shimmer, violin overtone, and vocal harmony is reproduced with exceptional clarity and natural brilliance ✨.


When you see "✨ Bright & Sparkly Highs" products, expect extraordinary treble clarity that discovers new layers of detail while maintaining smooth, fatigue-free listening.

Sharp & Precise Details

Are you a lover of sharp and precise details 🔍?


I believe that detail retrieval is like having audio superpowers - suddenly, you hear things in familiar songs that you never knew existed. These premium headphones are meticulously engineered to deliver remarkably detailed and precise sound reproduction, capturing every subtle nuance with exceptional accuracy. Think of them like high-resolution cameras for your ears that reveal the finest textures and micro-details that most headphones simply miss.


The carefully tuned drivers and advanced acoustic design ensure even the most delicate musical elements are reproduced with stunning precision. From the gentle brush of a cymbal to the subtle resonance of acoustic instruments, these products capture and present every sonic detail with remarkable accuracy 🎯.


When you see "📌 Sharp & Precise Details" products, expect extraordinary detail resolution that reveals new layers in familiar recordings with stunning clarity and precision.

Great to Get Pumped Up

I’ve always said the right pair of headphones can fire you up faster than a shot of espresso. When I label something as “Great to Get Pumped Up,” I’m talking about gear that’s built for impact. Think of it like stepping into a turbocharged car—the bass hits hard, the treble is energetic, and the soundstage feels intense and alive. Whether you're smashing a workout, heading into a game, or just trying to shake off a long day, this sound signature delivers the adrenaline rush.


Technically, it’s a mix of a boosted low-end, sparkly highs, and tight mids that bring out the crunch in guitars, the slam in kick drums, and the snap in snares. These are headphones that thrive on pop, EDM, hip-hop, and metal—any genre that wants to punch you in the chest and keep your foot tapping. Just don’t expect subtlety; this is all about fun, speed, and emotional lift. ⚡

Layered and Nuanced Sound

Imagine sitting in the second row of a grand music hall 🎼, where each instrument's placement creates a vivid sonic landscape before you. I believe these headphones recreate that precise spatial positioning, allowing you to distinctly perceive where each instrument would be on an imaginary stage. Think of it like watching an orchestra conductor - you can follow each section independently while appreciating how they work together in perfect harmony. The layered presentation ensures every element occupies its own distinct space while contributing to the whole.


This audio equipment creates a detailed listening experience where musical notes, overtones, and reverberations shine through clearly, keeping complex passages distinct and well-separated. The tuning excels at revealing subtle interplay between instruments and the natural ambiance of recording spaces 🎯.


When you see "🍰 Layered and Nuanced Sound" products, expect intricate soundscapes that reveal the depth, complexity, and artistry in your favorite music with exceptional clarity.

Needs Amplification

I tend to say this when a headphone or DAC just doesn’t wake up unless it’s got some real juice behind it. Think of it like a sports car that needs the right kind of fuel—without enough power, it won’t go anywhere near top speed. Some gear, especially those with high impedance or low sensitivity, demands a dedicated amplifier to reach its full potential.


Here's the trade-off: these headphones or IEMs may sound underwhelming straight out of a phone or laptop, but when paired with proper gear, they transform dramatically. You get tighter bass, better control, and improved resolution.


If you’ve got a power-hungry planar or a studio-grade headphone, investing in a portable or desktop amp will unlock nuance, dynamics, and depth that you’re otherwise missing out on. ⚡

DESIGNED JOINTLY WITH KNOWLES, FH9 IS EMBEDDED WITH SELF DEVELOPED DYNAMIC DRIVER AND KNOWLES BA DRIVER

FH9 is the first IEM to feature FiiO’s self-developed 2nd generation 13.6mm DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) diaphragm low-frequency dynamic driver. All 6 BA drivers in each ear unit of the FH9 are from Knowles. The dependable SWFK-31736 driver manages high frequencies. In almost two years of thorough research on how to implement the mid-frequency drivers to establish perfect harmony between many drivers for a coherent sound, FiiO has collaborated with Knowles themselves. To increase the efficiency of the newly developed driver, the team of acoustic engineers at FiiO have redesigned the magnetic circuit in the FH9, resulting in a 20% higher magnet density, which produces a magnetic flux to help the driver deliver a remarkable lower-end response. To complement the powerful DLC dynamic driver FiiO has equipped the FH9 with six custom-tuned Knowles balanced armature drivers for a lively and rich midrange.

EXQUISITELY CRAFTED CNC MACHINED TITANIUM-ALLOY EAR SHELLS

The built quality of the FiiO FH9 is super robust and features the next-generation industrial-grade design elements with premium CNC machined Titanium alloy ear shells. The Titanium-alloy construction is highly rigid and minimises the unwanted harmonics and resonances that travel through sound tubes and cavities. Each FH9 unit is made with great precision using five-axis CNC machining processes. The FH9 appears magnificent with a rich and premium tactile feel.

FEATURING A SEMI-OPEN DESIGN WITH SPECIALLY DESIGNED TUNING FILTERS DELIVERING GREAT SOUNDSTAGE AND IMAGING

FiiO has implemented its patented semi-open acoustic cavity design in FH9. It results in a natural sound with a comfortable fit suitable for long listening sessions. The semi-open acoustic cavity design maintains a balanced pressure relief between the front and rear cavities of the shell and works perfectly to balance the air pressure resulting in a better soundstage and imaging with smooth layering and texture. FiiO FH9 comes with three interchangeable sound filters, each filter has its damping and filter density. The pair comes packed with a red filter for enhancing bass responses, a green filter for transparent and highly resolving detailed treble focus and a black filter for balanced timbre. The result is a very holographic and airy sound which lets your music breathe and come alive.

OUTSTANDING FREQUENCY RESPONSE COUPLED WITH S.TURBO DESIGN DELIVERING SMOOTH AND POWERFUL BASS RESPONSE

FiiO has had remarkable success in developing a line of IEMs that combines the stunning appearance and superb audio quality. When there are multiple drivers at work, seamless performance becomes a challenge. FiiO has put a lot of effort into tuning each driver in FH9. The advantage of multi-unit products is that they can extract the edges of different units and combine them. FH9 not only uses large-size moving coil units but also uses Lou's ultra-high frequency moving iron units. The bass frequency sound tube features FiiO's patented S.Turbo acoustic technology, which guides sound waves through a turbine-shaped tube to enhance bass frequencies. As a result, the bass is deep and powerful. The meticulous tuning also filters redundant frequency sound from the other high-frequency drivers, ensuring a smoother transition between the bass and the mids.
