Hey Dad, enough with the tiny paintbrush jokes already. 😂 It’s a smart looking IEM for sure, looks classy in grey too. Fiio makes some great value gear. I picked up a BTR3 (mini Bluetooth dac/amp) last year and I love that little thing.
Please do the Tozo t10s. I got a pair and I have to say they’re the best earbud I’ve ever heard. Way better than the AirPods and amazing bass for a $40 tws earbud. Completely waterproof too!!
Is this Fiio better than Sennheiser IE 40/100 pro. Sound Is important but For me It's important how well headphones hold And Are fixed in my ear. Which headphones hold better in your ear? And which headphones do you recommend?
I haven't heard F9 Pro, but between FA1 and FH1 it's not even close for me -- FA1 all the way. More natural sound, better extraction of detail, separation in instruments, etc. FH1 has a bassier sound if that's what you like, but FA1 is what I dig.
@@SuperReview This IEM are amazing, thanks for the recommendation, they sound perfect in my Fiio M3K. Now im thinking to buy Tin t3 or maybe Fiio Fh1, I trust in your ears, Fiio Fh1 or Tin t3?
I'm trying to order earbuds because I have a marathon run in Ga coming up... I lost my Senn ie40 pros, also had gr07s. How do these compare to the ones I just mentioned. I'm not big on bass..more mids and broad soundstage. This was a good review. Rose mini2 or fiio...I'm soooooo confused...HELP
FH1 I don't like much, I would take that out of consideration. It fits well but the sound is just dark and congested. FA1 I like a lot. Fairly bright sounding, but with solid bass and nice separation of sounds. The Meizu Live is a warmer sound than FA1, significantly stronger bass, with less vocals emphasis. And really really clean separation and detail. The Meizu Live is my favorite of the three, and I'm not even a big bass guy.
I have the Fiio X1 second generation, i want an upgrade is a good option the FA1? i love the design of FA1 and also i heard good things about it, i want a neutral sound with good details. Very nice review :D
Hello, love the format and general vibe of your reviews. Have you tried the zero audio carbo tenore or the carbo bassos? And would you in the future perhaps do so?

How does this compare to kz zs10 pro? I have audiothechnica m50x and m50x bt and I am looking for some iem's with similar sound. Any recommendations? Around 100 usd or less. Thanks
I much prefer the Fiio FA1 to the ZS10 Pro, but your mileage may vary. FA1 treble isn't the smoothest, but it's not especially fatiguing, no issues with sibilance, and the midrange is IMO a bit stronger than the ZS10 Pro. ZS10 Pro bass is probably a bit meatier.
I really appreciate your review and am getting ready to purchase a set. One thing holding me back is the expectation that Fiio may release an updated version of the fa1's. Should I go ahead a buy a pair now or wait?

T3 bass has a bit more impact, maybe a bit less upper midrange emphasis and a bit more treble. Minor tweak. I think separation is better on T3. Both very very good IMO.
sorry in advance... :P i personally found out about a dac called "rme adi-2 dac" as a iem guy, i thought you might be intrested in it..ended up getting it for myself.. out of curiousity, what would you say your "end game" is? ciem / iem / headphones? and if any, do share :)
For under $60 which IEM earbuds do you recomend me to buy to use them for sports? I listen electronic music. If you can help me I would appreciate it very much.
DMG has much more bass emphasis, more traditional V-sound. DMG has wider soundstage and a bit more dynamism, but it's also a bit uncontrolled for my tastes. I prefer the treble + upper midrange emphasis of the FA1.
Can others hear what you hear with the headphones? I spend most of my time in the library and with my bose you can hear at normal volume what you are listen to.
I just bought a pair but when I play anything a loud static noise starts to play at the same volume as the music. When I turn off the music the static is still there just a little quieter. Have anyone had this problem or do I possibly have a faulty pair?

@@dumbzero Been a while since I listened, but it's just not a very layered earphone, sound is pretty 2-dimensional, bass is heavy by not textured & rumbly. FA1 bass is not huge but I think has more texture and dimension to it.

But not twice as good...so the price is dissuading. It showed me it possible to get actual full range and is disappointing the FA1 is not so out of the box. WIth Eq, it makes me happy for the money, but the EQ is always nagging at me that these are not perfect.
@@SuperReview i tested them in Sound Town While in Shanghai. They sound quite metallic and cold but clear. They word well out of my creative s-xfi amp, but not so well on the phone. I think they are picky with the source as well in a different way p.s. on the FA1 issue, i am pretty sure i am not imagining it, if you had a samsung phone and use the adapt sound feature, when it plays the lower tones very quietly there is this rustling sound rather than a tone, i suspect this might contribute to the frequency response curve posted around being artifically high around the subbass
Pretty different sounds and fits, I personally prefer the FA1 quite a bit. But if you're looking for a calculation like is the sound twice as good as the AS10 on some absolute scale, no, I don't think so. AS10 is a darker sound, stronger bass. FA1 is brighter, more treble detail and texture, more natural sound.
Generally speaking, FiiO has never really been a bad investment, whereas KZ just churns out a lot of stuff without any real tuning in mind. The KZ AS10 is good, and it's my daily, but leave it to the opinion of the Chi-fi community as well as Headfiers; Fiio FA1 is well worth the buck for its bang- as the company's reputation (and company vision apparently) Or at least that's what my opinion is.
@@thenarrator1921 thnks mate i ll consider that, i have ordered a kz as10 last week and i still didn't got them, maybe I'll upgrade to fiio in few months
can you check out the fearless audio s 8......its on Ali express and it's on the expensive side. Hence I am asking you. Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews has it as his fav iem!!!!!!!
T3 is my pick, but both are very good. T3 has a bit stronger bass and treble, FA1 is maybe a bit flatter sounding. I think they're in the same ballpark, though.
@@SuperReview I'm sure it's the driver... I also connected them to other cables... Still no sound from the left side... Tried also with different sources, still nothing to do, returned them back the next day. I love FiiO as a company that cares about people, I got their M3K which I like a lot because of his semplicity and sound and still had not single issue with it... Well, just bad luck 😅
Fiio can make some nice cables. I paid a fair bit for one of their short-short ones to go with my BTR3, and it was almost worth the money. But yeah, a single BA design was always destined to be bass light. That's what dynamic drivers are for. I'd probably really dislike these. :)
I highly recommend you to check the samsung akg earphones. I bought the note 9 and they came with it. I have to say I am impressed. So I tried to look for a review and found this review on head fi www.head-fi.org/showcase/samsung-akg-oem-in-ear-headphones.23170/reviews He did a great job in describing the sound as I hear it. and the bass is just as he described but that is because it is more sub-bass focused not a mid bass,like a slope, but the mids are not forward at least in my opinion. On a side note. These are a bit harder to drive than normal, also use the biggest tip because the included ones are smaller than normal.
I've got a pair of the Samsungs, they do sound pretty solid. I dunno if I'd pay $100 for them (what Samsung charges) but for pack-ins they're quite nice.
T3 has more treble, and a bit more sub-bass, FA1 has a bit more mid-bass I think. T3 I think has sharper imaging and clarity, but is also more likely to be an issue for treble-sensitive folks. Both are very good.
Been a while since I listened to the ZS10, they don't stay in my ears very well. But by memory, I'd say the ZS10 has quite a bit more bass, but not nearly as natural sounding as the FA1.
Fiio never miss out on giving accessories. I think cases are as important as earphones especially when u travel a lot.
It's good to have a carry case, for sure, though I have a bunch I can use so not crucial for me that a headphone come with one. I usually like something more compact than this Fiio case.

I received them, tried them, the left driver stopped working after 10 minutes...
And they're source dependant too...
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Think it's the driver or the cable?
@@SuperReview I'm sure it's the driver... I also connected them to other cables... Still no sound from the left side... Tried also with different sources, still nothing to do, returned them back the next day. I love FiiO as a company that cares about people, I got their M3K which I like a lot because of his semplicity and sound and still had not single issue with it... Well, just bad luck 😅
Fiio can make some nice cables. I paid a fair bit for one of their short-short ones to go with my BTR3, and it was almost worth the money. But yeah, a single BA design was always destined to be bass light. That's what dynamic drivers are for. I'd probably really dislike these. :)
Ha ha, it's good to know ahead of time what you'd like and dislike.
Late ass comment here, so my bad, but your squig has them at 3 stars instead of 5.
I adjust the scores from time to time.
Hello again mortals
Good morning (or whatever time it is there).
Not bad for $100.
Sometimes I'm afraid I'm too deep in this game when $100 sounds cheap.
@@SuperReview You did great, man. I'm alway trying to make balance between quality and budget.
I highly recommend you to check the samsung akg earphones. I bought the note 9 and they came with it. I have to say I am impressed. So I tried to look for a review and found this review on head fi www.head-fi.org/showcase/samsung-akg-oem-in-ear-headphones.23170/reviews
He did a great job in describing the sound as I hear it. and the bass is just as he described but that is because it is more sub-bass focused not a mid bass,like a slope, but the mids are not forward at least in my opinion. On a side note. These are a bit harder to drive than normal, also use the biggest tip because the included ones are smaller than normal.
I've got a pair of the Samsungs, they do sound pretty solid. I dunno if I'd pay $100 for them (what Samsung charges) but for pack-ins they're quite nice.
@@SuperReview you can find them on amazon for 15$ or less 😂. Yeah, most of them are probably fake but some are authentic.
P.S t3 vs fa1
T3 has more treble, and a bit more sub-bass, FA1 has a bit more mid-bass I think. T3 I think has sharper imaging and clarity, but is also more likely to be an issue for treble-sensitive folks. Both are very good.
this vs kz zs10
Been a while since I listened to the ZS10, they don't stay in my ears very well. But by memory, I'd say the ZS10 has quite a bit more bass, but not nearly as natural sounding as the FA1.
hi

Super* Review lmao . Nice one bro . I didnt mean any hate btw

Worst review ever, “let’s talk about the sound” proceeds to not talk about the sound for 85% of the video
Worst ever, wow.
Lol @the response
Get to the point!
Which point.
@@SuperReview sound.
@@AhmadEdinHodzic One of many things I care about with an earphone.
@@SuperReview appreciate your reviews and time you spent to make these. At least mention sound at the beginning.
