FiiO F3 Dynamic Graphene Driver In-Ear Monitor Earphones with Mic

First thing first, you must grab a set of Comply Tx-500 for these. They make a world of difference for comfort and isolation. This is not really optional.The sounds quality for these are solid. Good, flat curve perfect for tuning a solid EQ. If you think Beats by Dre sound great, then you'll hate these.The over the ear style wiring is a pain. Not really sure what purpose these serves, but even with the provided ugly rubber hooks, the wire doesn't stay tucker behind my ears. It's a constant fight while walking to work.I hate the rubber coating on the cable. Pretty stiff and has a tendency to develop coil memory. So when I uncoil the wire, it likes to stay twisted up.But in spite of the design aspect that I don't agree with, I don't regret the purchase at all. For a pair of beaters to throw in my bag for my morning commute, these are solid.

These little 20 dollar FIIO's sound far far better than one would expect, pretty much equal to anything I have heard up to B & O H6 original version in 'natural 'colours of lambskin and metal which at the time cost 330 dollars and may possibly sound a touch better. Just a touch, Possibly. I've listened carefully to about 50 headphones of several driver types and prices, and these tiny FIIO F3's are amazing.y good. One of the best values anyone can get in sound equipment.I think the ultralight, low-mass drivers are the key to their excellence, responding to slight but quick trebles or large but slow bass movements with unparalleled agility.

Update: 8/7/19 - I had these for a month and the left earbud has already failed. I get no audio unless i wiggle the cord. This happened two days after my amazon return window...these earphones sound good. i hate the plastic/detachable ear pieces but what can you do when the tech cant be anymore advanced i guess, they at least come with 3 different sizes. the middle ones are the best ones to use. i listen to only metal and so far, no complains. good sound with heavy riffs, pure stereo and not mono. i like them. the mic actually works with my mp3 app on my phone, it lowers and raises the volume. there is some slight delay but its in milliseconds. the cord is long enough to reach your ears and to your device that might be in your pocket. for the price, they are excellent earphones, i would recommend them.

I love these. They're wore over the ear, and are really comfy and almost completely cancels out surrounding noise with some Comply Foam Tx-500 tips (which are another $15ish to budget in.) The microphone works fine and is very clear when it's near your chin/neck; no issues with my Galaxy S7. They have three physical buttons; top and bottom adjust volume, middle button can play/pause and end calls. I'm very rough with my earbuds; they get looped through layers of jackets and tugged and shoved in jean/jacket/bag pockets. I am super impressed with FiiO's engineering whatever for the sound. I'm not an expert; I don't care about the exact hardware specs so my review may not be very helpful to others, but honestly these are great for my commute and while I'm working. I sit in an office cubicle doing data analysis work for a lab. It gets boring sometimes. Wouldn't recommend for exercise because the wire can give some feedback if moved, but that's what I've observed while sitting in my office cubicle to an old Win7 tower. It doesn't do that with my phone, but I don't typically play music if I'm walking around. So... I suppose you can evaluate for yourself.The sound is very good. I'm not an audiophile, but these have an absolutely amazing quality that are better than the FiiO EX Aerospace in-ear monitors I was replacing with these! $20 when I bought these in comparison to the Aerospace ones that were $60 and with no microphone. They have similar durabilities, but the wire on these are less "slippery" than the Aerospace ones, which enables detangling easier. The only reason I was replacing my previous pair was because I misplaced them for a month and gave up before refinding them. Can't regret it though since I got these babies instead!Packaging is super pretty, sleek, and makes one feel pretty good about opening them. Very nice to gift. It's not easy yo open without decimating the pretty packaging though; so a heads up. It comes with a set of tips that I never bothered to test, and with some "shells" that come in blue/red/black. I use them to visually distinguish between right and left buds (though the microphone is on the right; this is a good system for me.)Honestly, I'm going to get a pair for my sister, who loves listening to music. 10/10.

Haven't spent a lot of time using them yet, but first impression is that they are a bargain at the price. Lots of ear pieces, good little case and I can wear them with cord hanging straight down. Over the ear cords are not my style.The packaging which everyone seems to make a big deal over nowadays was truly awful. Could not slide the inner box out without ripping it to shreds. Not well designed at all. I'd just as soon have a plastic blister pack to hack through. The other two FIIO products (DAPs) that I bought in the past had great boxing.

I have ordered at different times several of these ear buds for several reasons. First and foremost I love the sound quality and comfortable fit of the ear buds. The carrying case is a solid case with a zipper and inner pocket to store the color hard shells and different sized ear bud adapters. It has a zipper so your ear buds and accessories are safe from damage or loss. The price is great and I as a music lover highly recommend these ear buds for anyone who loves good quality sound for your players or cell phones.

I used to listen to music on my self-built 4.1 at home, but when it comes to travel/work, I used to use iPhone earbuds or other stuff (Sehnheiser CX-200, VE Monk, Takram, AKG-DJ 518 etc). I would use my phone or xDuoo X3, listening to Spotify, MP3, Radio or losless formats. Until I got Fiio F3 - since then, I can really feel the difference between the sources (and now I know why I bought xDuoo X3) and between the formats (I realized that I prefer losless records, even if it's not the music I'd like right now) - these lads made me realize that. They still have some bass and add something to the music, not the flat monitor sound. But compared to other headphones I tried before, they play amazingly clear!They are not perfect - the rubber thing to wear these over the ear is awful, the cable has mic effect, isolation has a bit to be desired as well, but you get a great sound for the price (in fairness, VE Monk play great as well, but you can't really enjoy the sound quality fully with this type of earbuds, as they don't isolate from outside noise at all).So, if you are looking to try nice clear sound and hear your favorite songs in a way you never did before - it's worth spending 25 pound to try.

Unfortunately had a tough experience with these earphones, the first pair I ordered never arrived and I got refunded luckily and then the second pair which were for a Christmas present unfortunately didn't work properly. I don't know if I just had some defective ones but the slight movement of the jack when plugged into any device would cause the music to stop and in some cases when the volume was put over halfway it would stop. I do believe that these are good earphones and that I was just unlucky so please don't let this put you off.

Good sound reproduction. Works great on my Fiio player and Android phone. Recommend this seller. I have bought a few items from AV. Fast delivery.

It took less than 48 hours for one of the earbuds to stop working entirely.While they worked the sound was great and they were very comfortable.

One con is they can be slightly tricky to sit in the ear and hook over the ear if you wear glasses. But you get use to it quite quickly.
