My Impressions of the Fiio FH5 and what to expect if you are thinking to purchase this IEM
Very nice packaging as expected these days from Fiio. Build quality is again very impressive. The cable gives great confidence regarding the quality here. Now getting down to what these and all audio gear is about the sound. I have in my collection many headphones the AKG K3003 IEM being one of the best I own. Listening to the AKG and Fiio side by side they are both very clear and have fantastic high frequency response, the bass is also very good on both but there is an extra level of bass to the Fiio FH5 it really makes them stand out, both these IEM’s feature drivers from Knowles. The AKG is a bit fatiguing after a while, the FH5’s are not fatiguing at all I can listen to them for hours without getting the usual muzy head. The comfort of the FH5 IEM’s is fantastic, it only took two changes of ear tips to find a set that makes them disappear in my ears (bass ear tips medium). The Fiio FH5’s is now my go to headphones for every listing sestion . The FH5 fit into the toe tapping category of HIFI equipment and bring a big smile to your face, just look at the picture of Fiio’s Goat below to get the idea.
