FiiO FH3, natural selection, survival of the fittest

The 7th China International Headset Exhibition was held in Guangzhou Baiyun International Conference Center from September 12 to September 13, 2020. There were more than 200 exhibitors, nearly 1,000 new products in the industry, and there was an endless stream of participants. I have to say that in recent years, the domestic HiFi industry has developed rapidly, countless new brands have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and all kinds of earplug products are coming in one after another. After you sing, I will appear on the stage. The fierce competition is staggering. How to stand out from hundreds of similar competitors and be widely recognized by consumers is really not easy.

Feiao became famous in the domestic player field, but it is still a "new" earplug. However, in a few short years, it has made rapid progress. Now the earphone product line has spread all over many fields such as ring iron, moving iron, moving iron, flat head and even big ear. There is also Jade, a sub-brand with extreme cost performance. FH series is the main ring iron series, and FH1/FH1S,F, in short, the larger the number, the higher the positioning.

talk less, what the doctor wants to talk about today is this new FiiO ring iron FH3, which is priced at less than 1,000 yuan.

begins with ripples and ends with waves.the appearance of FH3 is in the same line as FH5/7, the number of three corrugations on the panel can be simply distinguished. The aluminum-magnesium alloy cavity has finally been removed from the golden tight hoop, and the whole body is dark. The visual effect has become the role of the color value in this series.

After several generations of mold development, the 5-axis CNC cutting process and the pure black anodized aluminum process are now perfect. FH3 not only has the shell carved with few flaws, but also the black coating has reached a thick, uniform, fine, scratch-proof and wear-resistant combination. After more than one month of scratching and bumping, there was no slight coating falling off, which is not easy.

cavity fits the auricle better than the miniature and lengthened metal sound guide tubes of the previous two eldest brothers of the same series,brand-new double balance pressure relief holes ensure that the air pressure inside and outside the ear canal tends to be the same after wearing it, and you will not feel suffocated after wearing it for a long time, and the wearing comfort is better than before.

is probably out of the original intention of being respectful and orderly. Unlike the master Huadan FH7, the FH3 beryllium-plated diaphragm moving coil unit "shrinks" to 10mm, but it still uses the turbocharger acoustic conduit to match it, which cleverly combines the characteristics of this moving coil unit. It not only shields high-frequency crosstalk, but also makes low-frequency diving more surging. Lou's 33518, which specializes in high frequency, is specially arranged at the position of the sound mouth to reduce high frequency reflection and make it more highly transparent. In my humble opinion, this design is similar to FIR Audio's catheter-free design of the moving iron unit and the central distribution of the catheter openings of the K3003 moving iron unit. The intermediate frequency uses a 30262 moving iron unit, and the voice is more graceful and brilliant.

ABS transparent storage box similar to Peliken shape but relatively compact size is mixed with standard canvas storage bag, which is more practical. 11 pairs of earmuffs have different side points, which is convenient for users to choose and match at will.

In order to fully tap the strength of FH3 and objectively evaluate the adaptability of this plug, doctors specially choosemillion yuan DX220max, thousand yuan feiao M9 and seashells R5, hundred yuan portable decoding line ikko itm05, neck-mounted decoding MW200, LC-BT2, etc. are matched with them. the upgraded wire is compared with zefeng thousand yuan single crystal copper and pure silver wire balance line, while the sound source is recently introduced by ear"Ear Things Audition Album"to test each link.

, under the escort of DX220max high-power output, in addition to being familiar with the interpretation of popular works, FH3 can also obtain relatively good on-the-spot performance for a small number of large-scale works.

FH3 comes standard with LC3.5B single crystal copper silver plated wire of the same model as FH5. The main difference between FH3 and FH7 LC3.5C is only eight cores and four cores. For wires of the same material, the four-core wires are relatively bright in hearing and emphasize analysis, while the eight-core wires are more calm and heavy in hearing, which is actually their own characteristics.is matched with the original line, the relatively regular and circular sound field has a good sense of space, and the vertical depth and horizontal width are more evenly distributed, which is slightly weaker than the FH5 sound field. The performance of instrumental music works is thin and muddy, and the sound field is wide The degree and the sense of atmosphere are slightly less warm, the knot is fuller and clearer, and full of tension. The three-frequency distribution is relatively balanced, the separation of instrumental music and human voice is acceptable, the sense of hierarchy is good, and the completion of popular works is good. High-frequency transparency is relatively convergent, without the feeling of being thin, cool and sharp. The mid-frequency vocal performance is not strong, but it is a relatively stable player in the 1000-yuan earplug. The low-frequency dive is deep and the elasticity is moderate. It gives people a sonorous and powerful texture, but there is no Janjaweed friction. The dynamic is large, the transient is good, the rebound is rapid, clean and not muddy. Among the 1000-yuan earplugs, the low-frequency performance is quite bright (ears).

After replacing the upgraded wire, compared with the original wire, a little turbidity can be significantly improved. In particular, after replacing Zefeng's high-end balance upgrade line, the analysis is better, the sound field is wider, the high frequency also changes from relative convergence to bright and transparent, the overall performance of human voice is better than that of instrumental music, the performance of female voice is better than that of male voice, and the combination of graphene single crystal copper hybrid wire can more faithfully restore the singer's voice characteristics and show his excellent singing skills. The subtle halo gives, however, there is still no tendency to lose control like high-frequency frizz or low-frequency iron knocking, which is more balanced and listening.audition, the author successively tried to match several wires of different grades with them, most of which were balanced wires. It was found that this earplug basically refused to come in terms of wire adaptation, and there was no need to deliberately find wires to suppress their high frequency or converge their low frequency.

tuning style, it is different from Feiao's early general pursuit of high restoration, high resolution, and calm quality. FH3 not only rationally inherits Feiao's consistent pursuit of quality and restoration, but also can basically and accurately restore the singer's voice. Features, show its excellent singing skills, and at the same time, the subtle halo gives the human voice a little warmth, a little more tenderness like water, and a little less dull. With the complementary advantages of analysis and tuning, it is easier to gain the general acceptance and goodwill of mainstream enthusiasts in terms of listening.the fly in the ointment is still the lack of information to perfectly deduce the fullness and many details of most large-scale instrumental music works.

front-end matching, the relatively versatile "gentle temper" is the advantage of FH3, but the "lack of personality" makes this earplug doomed to be unable to enter the ranks of flagship earplugs.benefits from the advantages of low resistance and high sensitivity. In fact, FH3 does not require high front end. It is matched with decoding line ITM05 to neck-hung Bluetooth decoding line MW200. Although the analysis is slightly discounted during LC-BT2, it can also obtain relatively good auditory experience. Especially in view of its good wearing comfort, FH3 has become the first choice for doctors to match neck-hung decoding line earplugs.

all in all, the overall strength of FH3 is moderate, but the most important thing is balanced and listening. Although it lacks individuality, it has no obvious shortcomings. The interpretation of music works is relatively complete, and the demand for front-end and wire is relatively omnivorous, and it is not easy to make bad noises. On the other hand, the flagship personality such as RE2000 and FIR M4, if there is no suitable wire and the front end to match it reasonably, the high frequency is bright but slightly sharp, which gives people a slightly exciting feeling."stable and balanced, accurate positioning, good quality and low price" is the doctor's pertinent evaluation of this earplug.

For a long time, Feiao's product pricing has always played the role of "price butcher" in the industry, and this time FH3 is actuarial to the extreme.lightweight aluminum-magnesium alloy cavity and balanced pressure relief hole makes this earplug more comfortable to wear than FH5.beryllium-plated diaphragm is matched with a brand-new moving iron structure, and the same wire configuration as FH5 brings a more balanced and smooth three-frequency connection and better dynamic and transient performance. All kinds of signs seem to indicate that this FH3 is not only an upgrade of F9Pro, but also more like the successor of FH5. No matter in stacking, research and development design or even tuning direction, through tasting FH3, we can realize the continuous progress of Feiao earplugs in recent years.

natural selection, survival of the fittest. Doctors are rightFeiao Ken has devolved its flagship earplug research and development experience to the overall view of low-end products and the enterprising spirit of following advice and changing when you hear it. In particular, it is worthy of careful consideration and reference for HiFi earplug practitioners to control costs, guide HiFi earplug pricing back to the rational range, and enable more fans to get a better experience in a relatively limited budget.

Don't ask that there is no confidant in the future, who in the world does not know the king?

By, a doctor who stays up late and is hungry and can only rely on music to comfort.
