Review on 🎧 FiiO FD1 Wired Hi-Res Earbuds with Beryllium-Plated Dynamic Driver, 4-Stranded High-Purity Monocrystalline Copper Cable, 0.78pin, Strong Bass - Blue (No Mic) by Emily Perkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best buds under $200 I've found (tried the usual suspects)!

Tried several other brands after my Master & Dynamic cable shorted out. I never thought I would find the sound to match $200 sub $200 M&Ds, but they are better in many ways. I'm not going to try to impress you with "Audiophile Speak" like some here, but I'll buy another one before it sells out or doubles in price (or more) to reflect their true sound quality. PLEASE NOTE: They sounded awful from the start and some reviewers only recommended 9 hours of break-in, but that wasn't enough time. They really started to shine after 40 hours and I'm blown away by the soundstage and volume. It's very easy to drive to ear split levels. I couldn't find any matching earbuds from the ones provided, but the Comply earbuds did the trick. Phenomenal sound, but sealing the ear canal is crucial.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Poor instructions
