Review on 🎧 FiiO FA1 Over The Ear Earphones: Premium HiFi Single Balanced Armature Driver with Detachable Cable Design for iOS and Android - Blue(L) and Red(R)-Swirl by Dianna Kay

Do you like it? this show for only $100? with this beautiful mood? $160 cheaper than my FH5 and they outperform my FH5? Walk! First of all, I would like to say that this is my "best audio purchase I have ever made". I currently have devices like the mentioned Fiio FH5 which is one of the Fiios flagships, the powerful Sennheiser HD600, Momentum 2.0 on-ear headphones, Sony and Beyer headphones, which models I don't remember. Let's compare FA1 to my +250 hours FH5. Comfort: No, the FA1 is much better in terms of comfort, weight, sealing and insulation. The appearance of the FA1 is identical to the individual IEM. The problem with the FH5 is the short nozzle, although it's still considered quite comfortable. FA1 excels in every way. Sound: mids and highs: no fairness here, I find the FA1 better than the FH5 in terms of detail reproduction, clarity, vocals, separation, treble extension. The FA1 has a balanced sound signature, while the FH5 has a V or W shaped signature. This can be described as "personal taste only". I personally find the balanced sound of the FA1 more pleasant to listen to. As for the vocals, there are times when the FH5's vocals come out too front and can become very tiring after a period of listening, especially female vocals. In this regard, FA1's vocals are less prominent and sound very pleasant, not tiring at all. are different and may suit your specific preferences. For example, the FH5's bass is punchier, more extended and deeper; while the FA1's bass is lighter but faster and tighter. I ended up picking bass preferences based on what genres you listen to. I personally prefer the FA1 Bass for Jazz, Blues, Classical, Rock {Classic Rock with these}. Bye, FH5 for hip-hop, electronic music; However, FA1 doesn't fare badly in these genres. Soundstage: The FA1's are noticeably wider and have more depth, but I'd say they're slightly smaller in height compared to the FH5. Sources: Also highly dependent on the source, especially at low frequencies. . Paired with my OPPO HA2 SE, the bass sounds satisfying in any genre, to the point where I don't miss the bass of my FH5. The bass can also be increased to a satisfactory level with the equalizer. Overall, I think the FA1 offers a more immersive listening experience that's better suited to audiophiles. The FH5 isn't bad either, but now that I have this FA1 I will only be using the FH5 for practice. And one more important point. Replace this cable with the stock cable, it doesn't sound as good as the cable that came with the FH5 and less than my 16-wire silver plate cable. For Fiio my friends, start setup from here, build your foundation and your future IEMS on top of that. Tuning, with some tweaks here and there. Photos will be available soon.
