Fiio’s entry-level offering is one of the best in the segment, and the reason for that is the brand’s focus on value. After testing nearly two dozen Fiio products over the past 18 months, I can safely say that the brand generally offers the best value in its target segment.
While hero products like the K9 Pro DAC and R7 all-in-one network streaming player do a great job of drawing attention to the brand, it’s budget-friendly in-ear headphones like the FH11 that lead the sales charts. The FH11 are hybrid in-ear headphones that use 10mm dynamic drivers combined with balanced armature drivers, and their design and affordability make them stand out—at just $54 on Amazon , the FH11 is Fiio’s most affordable yet One of the in-ear headphones.
Note: This review was completed through the review unit provided by Fiio. The brand had not seen the comments before publishing.
The design of the FH11 is interesting and doesn’t bear much resemblance to the rest of the brand’s IEM portfolio. Fiio calls the design a “bionic conch,” noting that it creates a “sense of flow” and improves sound quality. What I like is that the zinc alloy chassis looks great and the design looks more premium than the entry-level price tag.
