FiiO FH5 Review

The FiiO FH5 (MSRP $299) is released following the success of their earlier IEM line but this time changes up the game. FiiOjoined the earphone market in 2015 with the release of the EX1 and a budget EM3 in 2016. 2017 saw the expansion of their earphones with their popular F9 Series along with a variety of other earphones. Come mid 2018 with the release of the FH5 and FA7 is when things got really juicy.
 
Previous generations of FiiO earphones were well regarded but thought of still as just simply add-on items for their popular DAPs, DACs, and Amps; effectively an afterthought. The FH5 and FA7 are here to reap the success of FiiO’s earlier efforts and are the latest display of their prowess. 

The FiiO FH5 is a 4 driver hybrid IEM with three Knowles Balanced Armature Drivers (Knowles ED30262+ Knowles ED30262) with the fourth being a dynamic driver. (The FA7 has four BA drivers with no dynamic driver). The dynamic driver is here to provide the bass which helps to carry songs and support the complex array of mid frequencies that the balanced armature drivers handle. See here for a comparison chart of FiiOs IEMs.
