The FIIO K17 earned the award for EISA Headphone Amplifier 2025–2026! This achievement marks the first breakthrough for FIIO’s desktop DAC/Amp products at the EISA Awards, setting a new industry benchmark. With its outstanding design philosophy, powerful feature set, and exceptional sound performance, the K17 won unanimous praise and recognition from the judging experts. The award underscores FIIO’s strong competitiveness in the high-end audio field and its unwavering commitment to excellence in quality.

Founded in 1982, the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) is one of the most authoritative and influential award bodies in the global consumer electronics industry. It is a collaborative alliance of 52 leading international specialist magazines, websites, and journalists, covering six expert groups: Photography, Mobile Devices, HiFi Audio, Home Theater Audio and Vision, and In-Car Electronics. Members come from 27 countries across Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong (China), and India, conducting independent and professional product evaluations on a regular basis. Each year, the EISA Awards honor new products that perfectly combine cutting-edge technology, desirable features, and first-class performance.

During the judging process, each expert group engages in intense debates and multiple rounds of voting. From numerous outstanding contenders, they select the most consumer-acclaimed product in each category to receive the highly coveted EISA Award of the year. Unlike many other honors, the EISA typically names just one winner per subcategory, a unique mechanism that makes the award especially authoritative, rare, and prestigious. It has become a trusted benchmark and seal of quality across the global consumer electronics landscape.
