Review on FiiO FH7 Black Hybrid Earphones with 5 Drivers (1 Dynamic + 4 Balanced Armatures), Customizable Filters, and High-Fidelity Audio for Smartphones, Tablets, and PCs by Larry Allen

TL;DR: If you have $500 or more, be sure to check it out. For the price, you get fantastic packaging, a great cable, easy controls, plenty of earbuds that fit just right, and a pair of headphones that give you a new way to enjoy and hear all your music. . FH7 are great for any genre of music! If you can, using these well-balanced headphones will impress you even more. Before I start, I'm training to become an "audiophile". I'm relatively new, still learning the nuances of the hobby and community, and developing my hearing. However, I used my HD6XX, HE4XX and modded ATH-M40X with Mayflower O2+ODAC Rev. B, FiiO BTR3 (portable) and FiiO M11 (balanced) to test these headphones and was quite surprised at how quickly I got into them fell in love. At first I rushed to buy them after seeing several reviews of the FiiO FH7. I didn't know what to expect especially after buying the FH5 after seeing the Zeo review and I wanted more from the headphones especially in the mids and highs where I felt a lack of detail and didn't was as energetic as I was. like. . While the FH5 was fine (IMO), I compared it to the Sennheiser IE 40 Pro, which had more highs I was looking for, with reasonably good bass, and the subwoofer was decent at best (they were $100) . ); For the price I definitely didn't think the FH5 would be better at more than double the price. So my expectations weren't met but when the FH7 arrived I was initially shocked to my surprise by the packaging and what you received but the sound really blew me away. I (was) adamant that headphones can't reach the same level as headphones - bass (and damn sub-bass), treble, treble, detail and soundstage. On my first listen I used Yosi Horikawa's "Timbres" and "Bubbles" to test the soundstage and I was impressed; it was wide enough that it didn't all feel closed or congested (which I've experienced with the Shure SE215). Then I listened to "Earned It" with a cover by Cameron Bedell and Megan Davis that was for details and vocals. There is a guitar string plucking and lower bass string plucking early in the song as well as the instant clarity and low energy of the bass that I heard and felt. Then the singing, the clarity of Megan Davis' voice was amazing and Cameron's voice was tight; The whole track was filled with a different life than I had heard many times before. Then the tracks I broke up with were Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home" and Led Zeppelin's "That's the Way". I won't go into details but the breakup on "That's the Way” was great, I could hear every instrument used (guitar strings from start to finish, mandolin and steel guitar parts) and the vocals didn't feel sunk or absent, they are very busy. Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home" was used primarily for Ginger Baker's cymbals and percussion, along with the other instruments played (bass and guitar), which were excellent and easily distinguished in the song. ); then there was Steve Winwood's vocals, which, like Led Zeppelin's "That's the Way," weren't lost or lost. For the last track to test the bass on the FH7 I used Theo's "Américano" and absolutely NOTHING I heard reached the thumb and fast bass of these headphones. Period. The bass in this track vibrated in my brain and ears, an unexpected but welcome experience. The FH7 is one of the best audio systems I've ever used and heard (so far). They don't hiss and don't tire. They are comfortable to wear and can be used for hours. I have other headphones that I can use but I always gravitate towards these because they offer pretty much everything I could want or could want for my audio gear. So if you have any doubts about getting them, do it and you won't regret it, but if there's a chance you might not like them, Revain's return policy has you covered.
