FIIO FH3 HiFi Earphones 3 Drivers (1 Dynamic + 2 Knowles BA), In-Ear Earphones High Resolution, Bass Sound, High Fidelity for Smartphone/PC/Tablet

For comparisons my frame of reference is the following IEMs:Campfire Audio Dorado 2020 (£1000)Thieaudio Monarch MkII (£850-£1000)KZ ZS10 Pro (£45)Sources:Sony A55Hiby R5 Gen 2NAD M33After my KZ ZS10s broke after less than a year, both lost all bass so possibly the bass drivers failed, I needed a replacement. I wasn't displeased with the KZs and my only complaint was that they could be quite sibilant at times, depending on the track. For most Music I listened to though it wasn't a problem but when it was there it was very harsh and shrill sounding.I purchased the FH3s in early 2022 and the difference was noticeable. In sound and in build quality. Yes the FH3s are more than 2x the price of the KZ ZS10 Pros but in audio paying more doesn't guarantee a better product or even any improvement. The gains are only marginal, typically. The build quality of the FH3 is fantastic and I find the fit the most comfortable of any IEM that I have tried. Great cable too, including the curved hook parts that go around your ear. Can be worn for hours on end with zero discomfort. The FH3 sound is superior to the KZs. A more weighty Bass, less harsh mids and smoother treble. It is quite difficult to encounter sibilance using the FH3s, not only compared to the KZs but also my Campfire Audio Dorados and they are £1000 IEMs! So the sibilance is less on the FH3s than the Campfire Audio Dorados. The Dorados have slightly better detail, imaging. The instrument separation difference really is paper thin between the FH3 and Dorado. When I say slightly better I am talking very small percentage terms, 5% at most. The Bass is nearly on a par too with the Dorados having a tad better controlled or tighter Bass than the FH3s.Similar degrees of differences when comparing the FH3s to the Monarch MkIIs. The Monarchs had the best instrument separation, layering, imaging and detail of any IEM that I have heard and they also had the most weighty and deep bass but the FH3s come very close. Unfortunately, for me, the Monarchs were too big and didn't fit properly so I sold them.In short, the FH3s compete with £1000 IEMs and the difference is 5% at most. They have great bass and are well balanced with great detail. The fit, comfort and build quality are all excellent too.

I recently purchased FIIO FH3,had the pleasure of pairing the FiiO FH3 IEM with the LG V60, and I must say, this combination delivers an audio experience that is nothing short of spectacular. As an audiophile, I’ve always been on the hunt for that perfect synergy between source and headphones, and I believe I’ve found it.The FiiO FH3 IEMs are known for their exceptional sound quality, and when paired with the LG V60, they truly shine. The V60’s Quad DAC brings out the best in the FH3s, delivering a sound that is rich, detailed, and immersive. The bass is deep and punchy without overwhelming the mids, which are clear and natural. The treble is crisp and extends beautifully, providing a balanced sound signature that is a joy to listen to across various genres of music.The FH3s are not only sonically impressive but also well-built. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable fit for long listening sessions, and the build quality feels premium. The LG V60, with its sturdy design and excellent battery life, complements the FH3 perfectly, making it a reliable companion for both daily commutes and extended listening sessions at home.What really stands out about this combination is the effortless way the LG V60 drives the FiiO FH3. The phone’s built-in Quad DAC delivers high-resolution audio with ease, ensuring that you get the most out of the FH3’s capabilities. Whether you’re streaming music or playing high-quality FLAC files, the audio output is consistently top-notch. The FiiO FH3 IEM paired with the LG V60 is a match made in audiophile heaven. This duo delivers an amazing quality of audio that will satisfy even the most discerning listeners. If you’re looking for a portable setup that doesn’t compromise on sound quality, this is it. Highly recommended!

I am absolutely stoked with these.I've had a pair of KZ ZS 10 Pros for just over 3 years and I loved them for their mid range and treble with minimal base. I did purchase a Yinzoo silver cable which improved the sound dramatically and took away the sibiliance.Around August I saw the Moondrop Aria's on sale and thought I would try them out. They sounded restrained on the high end compared to the KZ's but had a good bass thump albeit a bit loose for my personal liking. The Aria's had a much more open/wrap around sound stage where as the KZ's sound was very much in my head. However I wasnt estatic about them so I returned them.I'd had my eye on these FiiO's for a while but they were always at around 120 and I couldnt justify that over my low cost audio ;) So when these were on sale, I bought them. I can honestly say these are unbeilievable for the price! There is more bass then the Aria's but its very controlled and tight, the mids are better than the Aria's but slightly less then the KZ's and the treble is excellent and very comparable with the KZ's. The sound stage is as big or slightly smaller than the Aria's but the high and resolution of the audio is much much better. The listening experience is much more enjoyable. I absolutely love these.Please note I play LDAC using my FiiO BTR3 with mostly 24bit/192k mp3 and some FLAC through my phone.Cost wise, my KZ's and the Yinzoo combo was 40, the Aria's were 73 on sale and the FiiO's were 80 on sale.Therefore if you can find a pair of these FiiO's on sale definitely buy them, if not on sale and your budget stretches then go for it.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
