FiiO FH5 IEM Review

FiiO was interested in having me check out their new flagship IEMs, the FH5. Brooko has also reviewed these, and you can read his take on them here as well.  I was definitely curious, as while FiiO has worked hard to make a range of DAPs and portable DAC/amps, entering into the IEM space is a whole other ball game. 

I was somewhat bemused by the idea that they are a “flagship” as they were retailing for only around $300. Current Amazon prices put them at $259. The last IEMs I had been sent for review, the Nuforce HEM6 were around the $300 mark originally and sounded pretty poor to me, so I was cautiously optimistic about the FH5.
