FIIO FH3 2024
Is the FIIO FH3 worth buying at $100? I love the BASS and the soundstage
An upgrade to the FH3? Or just a different model?
It’s the FD15 model, you can look it up on AliExpress.
I had heard about it but thought maybe it wasn't going to be released anytime soon. I saw a post where they didn't show it at some show because the sound quality (or something like that) didn't meet expectations. Was about to get the FD3 Pro but guess I'm waiting now till they release on Amazon.
Yes
Thank you
If you're in the US I would recommend you get the Shozy P20. It's a third generation planar with well-tuned bass, plus it's currently half price on Amazon. The FH3 was a mid IEM when it was released 3+ years ago.
Bassy and big soundstage? Final Audio E3000 . The Final E series are so criminally underrated
Frankly, when the wire is not removable, I do not see it as a competitor or existing at all. Thank you
Can't blame you , you constantly feel the threat . I can tell you the cables are very reliable on these despite feeling cheap and thin , they're durable. I've had the E2000 for 1,5 years, still like new , and the guy who persuaded me to get them is a guy who had his E3000 for 3 years at the time.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It is useful. I hope you have a good day
I think the fh3 are a solid choice for $100, especially if you plan on eq. Good drivers and a good build.
Thank you. It seems that it will be my new device, although I am worried about its cable because it seems weak
Oh the fh3 cable isn’t much better than the kz cables lol. It’s like a nicer looking and built kz cable. I’d recommend getting an aftermarket mmcx cable, or tws earhooks. My fh3 lives on my utws5, but I don’t use it very often. Tripowin Zonie cables are pretty nice, the moss or silver would look good with it. Otherwise you have plenty of options on aliexpress from xinhs, nicehck, ivipq or openheart.
Thank you for the advice, but is it worth a wire at half its price?
If you like the sound $100 is fine. I have the fhe version. Decent stage and imaging, but the dd sounds a bit slow to me. Definitely Not an all rounder set, but I like it for soundtracks and most electronic music. Preferred the tuning of the qkz x hbb set. I like the ea500lm more too, but bass could be punchier. I have not heard, but the Aful Explorer might be worth considering ($120)
Thank you for your advice and help. Have a good night
Definitely not, consider em6l or perhaps planars instead. Planar bass can be more detailed but DD has that impact punch (regardless of tonality), imo both are good so it's just a preference I guess.
EM6L has practically negative bass.
Negative bass what do u mean?
Compared to a lot of tunings and other IEMs, I found them extremely lacking in low end. Returned.
Compare to what exactly? To me they have plenty of sub bass and enough mid bass to not disappoint. Maybe something like fatfreq meastro is more bassy but idk how is Harman tuned em6l lacks bass.
It’s the 8mm driver probably. It doesn’t move as much air as others with the same curve.
You probably didn’t get a good seal. I couldn’t at first until I replaced the cable and tips.
You probably didn’t get a good seal. I couldn’t at first until I replaced the cable and tips. Ikko oh10 has good bass and soundstage, that is an upgrade to the fh3. Otherwise ziigaat Doscinco if you are willing to spend $250ish is extremely satisfying.
Garbage 🤮 very small stage and not best bass at@100
Why are you the only one with a different opinion? Have you tried it and what is better at the same price?
I have them and they're good but not the best.
My recommendations:
For bass: 7hz Legato
For soundstage: TruthHear Hexa
For both: SIMGOT EM6L
They just came out with a new DD, I’m waiting for reviews.
