FiiO FH5S

amazon FiiO FH5S reviews

FiiO FH5S is an in-ear headset that uses two balanced armature drivers and two dynamic drivers for each earphone, semi-open design (with a vent hole in the faceplate surface), allowing users to switch 3.5 connections mm, 4.4mm, and 2.5mm quickly and conveniently.

FH5S has very good artistry. The sophistication and contours of the headset are nothing to criticize. The silver-plated OCC copper wire that comes with the FH5S looks durable and sturdy.

The headset comes with an elegant Fiio HB5 leather case, along with quite a few sets of silicone and foam ear tips. FH5S uses an MMCX connector; the wire can be upgraded and replaced easily. The accessory set has quite a few sets of silicone and foam ear tips. Each type of ear tip will give different sound quality.

Appearance

The headphone shell has a sandwich structure, the frame is magnesium, and the protective outer layer is an aluminum case. The reason why people use magnesium for the inner frame is that magnesium has anti-vibration and anti-resonance properties.

FH5S feels comfortable to wear; wearing for 2 hours listening to music still does not feel uncomfortable or hot. Behind the headset, there are three switches B-M-T, which stands for three basic frequency bands: bass, mid and treble. FH5S has 40 ohms impedance, 106 dB/1kHz sensitivity.

Fiio has two dynamic drivers, 1 12mm for bass and 1 6mm for mid; both drivers have beryllium-coated drivers. Knowles’ two balanced armature TWFK-30017 drivers for mid and treble are located right at the nozzle (sound duct), as explained by Fiio, to limit the phenomenon of acoustic resonance inside the headphone shell improve the timbre. These two drivers are full-range drivers and are stratified by Fiio specifically for mid and treble.

Unboxing

The FiiO FH5S headphones, when opened, have a strange sound; the midrange is dry, detailed, the soundstage is wide but not airy. The bassline in Le Niger in the album The Tel Aviv Session has good internal force, strong and strong, but not deep and smooth. However, the FH5S soon revealed good mids and treble, with good balance, bright and clear, great for listening to guitar and piano. In addition to the round, bright guitar sound, the ethnic guitar sounds of Iran, such as the tar and kamancheh, have a clear, crisp, and crisp sustain. At this time, I use it with Fiio Q3 and use a balanced 4.4mm jack. I listened for about 2 hours, then changed to BTR5 and used it for four days, ~ 12 hours.

Continue using BTR5 to listen to instrumental music to test the mid-range like Wayne Shorter’s Night Dreamer and a passionate ballad is Virgo. The tenor sax is smooth, strong, firm, and confident. The low mid is not convex but clear and easy to catch the ear. The vibrato of the trumpet is round and bright, not harsh and bright. In my opinion, vocals for men and women are not sweet, balanced, bright, not harsh. To enjoy the top music quality, you should choose a music source from Tidal or Apple Music, Quobuz.

Treble of FH5S, I feel, is bright, has good detail but not very good. Treble is bright and strong, but I like the feeling that it has to have better separation, instruments like cymbals, and shakers like calabash and tambourine. If there is a faster deposition of the instrument, it will be much better.

When turning on bass on the EQ system, the sub-bass and upper-bass sound increase significantly, suitable for those who like to listen to bass a lot, like EDM and Hip hop players. Increasing the bass, the mid and treble will have a slight decrease in intensity. The midrange will now be backward, softer, and slightly sweet, so listening to Bolero is more suitable, or music mid and treble is louder. Playful sounds like On The Ground by Rose also like.
