FiiO FD15 - Single Dynamic Driver

The FD15 offer an engaging and well-balanced tuning that leans towards the mid-range, creating an emotive listening experience. The large 13.8mm drivers and powerful magnets deliver sound performance that surpasses its price point in my opinion, notably with good imaging, layering, and clear tonality. The tuning is pretty safe and non-offensive, with natural timbre - note occassional upper mid zest, but all of my listening has been with the default silver nozzle (I still need to test the red). Comfort is ensured by small, high-quality shells made of medical-grade stainless steel, and the curved MMCX connectors provide secure and adjustable fit. The extensive selection of tips and essential accessories, along with a good stock cable featuring modular connections really emphasise the overall value. The inclusion of two tuning nozzles allows for customizable sound profiles, adding to the fantastic value at a price just shy of $150... I will at some point try the red nozzles too
