Description
Meet the latest flagship in-ear monitor in FiiO's arsenal — the FD5. It houses a 12mm dynamic driver for a powerful performance. The best part? You can easily customise your IEMs with the wide variety of accessories.
Powerful Sound by Hi-Res IEMs
Unlike complicated IEMs that come with multiple drivers, the FiiO FD5 comes with a carefully tuned massive 12mm dynamic driver. The N52 magnets offer an incredibly high magnetic flux of 1.5 Tesla. The diaphragm has a Beryllium and diamond-like coating that's rigid and more responsive to voice coil movements. This in-ear monitor has a 'Hi-Res Audio' certification by the Japan Audio Society for its lifelike details, minimal distortion and the perfect balance of robust bass with excellent treble.
Designed To Deliver Only the Best
Since the FD5 uses only one driver, the sound comes from a single point resulting in accurate sound positioning. To ensure that there's no delay in the sound waves, an acoustic prism system i.e. a conical device is placed near the front of the diaphragm. This controls how the waves travel in the sound tube and eliminates high-frequency standing waves. This has been inspired by the technology used for tweeters in high-end audio products. The lower-frequency standing waves are reduced via a 'volcanic field.'
Comfortable and Stunning
The FD5 is designed for comfort and stunning looks. The curves are inspired by majestic mountains and waterfalls. It also effectively reduces unwanted sound reflections. It uses a semi-open design that relieves air pressure on the ear. The 3D embossed stainless steel faceplate looks striking while reducing harmonic distortion and staying durable.
Your Music, Your Rules
Make your FD5 truly your own with a variety of customisable accessories. You can switch between two sound tubes for a better fit as well as to adjust the sound — the large tube is balanced while the smaller tube is more bass-focused. The 8-strand high-purity monocrystalline silver-plated copper cable comes with interchangeable audio plugs that connect seamlessly with audio sources having a 2.5mm, 3.5mm or 4.4mm output. In addition, you also get a plethora of eartips, MMCX clips and a protective case.

FiiO, a popular China-based brand offering a wide range of audio products including Earbuds, Earphones, In-ear monitors, Cables for IEMs and Headphones, audio adapters, DAC & amplifiers, and Digital Audio Players. Explore the world of high-quality audio with FiiO.
These are my primary audio decice at the moment paired with the cayin n3 pro.
Easy to carry around and they sound as good as my momentum 3 (the details might even be better, but I would say they both aound good juat different sound signatures)
After last few weeks of trying out different tips amd nozzle, I settled on the thinner nozzle with vocal ear trips medium.
Good mid range flagship iem specially for bass along with triflange ear tips. Sound stage also wide.
This is a very good single DD earphone.
1. Bass- good strong tight bass. No bleed to mids. Sub-bass is not as prominent as I thought a single DD earphone should deliver. The bass has good definition and weight to it but is not the thumping slamming annoying type bass of non-audiophile consumer earphones. Its precise and as natural as it should sound.
Mids- the vocals are lively and feels natural. Best for female vocals. Male vocals also sound good. Guitar and other sounds in this frequency range seems natural and engaging.
High- it lacks much extension into the highs, its nicely rolled off. No sibilance. The sparkle of multi BA flagships is lacking here.
Imaging- imaging is good. Localisation of instruments and layering feels natural and well delineated.
Resolution- its lacking in resolution compared to amy multi BA flagship. But it excells in the bass part.
Soundstage- wide soundstage.
Verdict- if you have multi BA flagship iems, you might miss the detail, clarity, airiness, sparkle in FD5. It compensates through good bass and natural timbre.
I first auditioned the Fiio FD5 from a friend. Since then I knew I wanted them. An all DD iem, with a beautiful tonality, good bass and detailed presentation! The presentation is speaker like, great height in soundstsage, good width and depth. The overall presentation is very vintage like, with technicalities not the priority (but certainly not lacking in any respect) rather the presentation is the priorty. What not to love in Fiio FD5. The build quality is beautiful, the accessories with the package is so premium, even kilobuck iems will shy away. Overall Fiio FD5 is one of the best iems I have tried, and finally owned. Apart from FD5, I also own CA Andromeda and JVC FDX1 and hold all of them equally capable regardless of the price.
After going through lots of reviews. i finally decided to purchase this gem.
Build Quality: -
Made of quality stainless steel , feels very sturdy better than Aluminium and Due to its compact size it feels comfortable on wearing . it never comes out from ear by itself. Box comes with extra narrow bore for extra bass . but wide bore which is attached already is better.
Sound Quality :-
i am giving this review after 80 hours burn in and plugging with External dac. Mids are ok but slightly muddy . Bass is very punchy with nice slam . Treble is very natural , detailed and bright . Instrument separation is also amazing . This has the best soundstage i have heard from any Iem . you wont feel the bass inside your head or ear. No doubt this iem is worth the money .
I wanted a single dd IEM for those natural sound and timbre.
I have Fiio fh3 and Blessing2, i found these to have much wider stage and depth than those.
Mids are very natural sounding but not as detailed as moondrop b2.
Highs are better on FD5.
Bass have more quality and quantity on FD5.
Overall i am in love for these I am blown away.
These are very good for EDM and bassy music but I like B2 more in case if the track is more details and have more busy passage.
Note: I used the narrow barrel instead of wide bore as wide bore make it sound a bit overwhelming in bass.
Really nice work on the Audio Store to grant an 1300 rupee discount.

Fantastic easy to use dongel dac by Shanling. Build quality is also 👌. For a budget music lover this is a value for money. TAS keep providing such affordable quality product to us always...👍
Sparkling music, enhance volume and gives extra wide sound instrument but some time later connection gone if audio is not play
The CD player works as advertised. The single ended headphone jack has decent output, able to drive IEMs at a loud volume level. The coaxial output also works with a 3.5mm male to coaxial cable hooked to a pre-amp. Sound signature is unolocured in the territory of neutral to slightly bright neutral and corresponds well with recording and mastering of records. Worth the money imo.
If my current HiBy R6 III (Gen 3, ESS) is compared to driving a BMW, the R6Pro MAX is a Rolls Royce.
It is easy, smooth, and suave. It doesn’t make a big deal of representing a soundstage that’s exactly studio-like. Natural, not heavy on any particular frequency (do not expect heart thumping bass) and extremely coherent. It’s like you’re sitting in front of the artists themselves, in a studio, with a performance made just for you alone. Each frequency - the lows, mids, highs and everything else in between - are effortlessly detailed and precise.
All IEMs I have tried with it, i.e. the 64 Audio Volür, Symphonium Meteor, Penon Quattro and Kiwi Ears Quintet are driven best at Low or Middle Gain, with me personally finding that High Gain makes it all muddy. I am yet to try it with my HiFiMan Ananda Planar headphones, and will update this review as the journey with this masterpiece of a device continues. Rarely do I find myself being fondly attached to any device so quickly. It may be safe to say the R6Pro MAX does have something special. Only time will tell.
Lastly, the design is phenomenal and classy. The weight of the unit is evenly balanced and not top-heavy, making it very easy to handle in spite of its 500 gramme weight.
My only gripe, because I just HAVE to find one is that the case provided is quite impractical as the device tends to slide out from the top opening, and it interferes with the UI gestures. On the flip side, the quality of the case is top-notch making the device feel extremely premium with its carbon fiber-like finish.
Kudos to HiBy. Clearly a lot of effort and thought has been put into introducing something like this. We may be looking at a potential market game-changer.
(All IEMs have been tested with the OE 2DualCPS Silver Upgrade Cable)
Superb Audio quality, Enhance the sound separation for my moondrop chu 2. i enjoyed a lot. Built quality also so good. Best Budget DAC recommended.
Bought the KZ Castor Pro from Audiostore, and I must say, I am extremely happy with my purchase. At first, I was a bit hesitant to order from them, but they completely surprised me with their service.
The delivery was super fast—much quicker than I expected! I couldn't believe how quickly the IEMs reached me, which made the entire shopping experience even more satisfying.
The product AUDIOCULAR D07 is a phenomenal DAC & Amp. It is suitable for all kinds of wired earphones. The output impedance of this DAC is sufficient for inexpensive as well as Expensive earphones. Overall I satisfied very much with this product. Thank you.
I really liked Moondrop Chu II DSP, which was my first IEM. I felt like I needed some more bass. This is perfect. Sounds exactly same as Chu II and with more bass. Shipping and delivery was also very fast. Got it delivered in 3 days. Good delivery and good product.
Sharp & Crystal clear audio🤩
For the price you can't get better value when comparing with TOTL iem's from other manufacturers, regardless of driver technology and implementation. The bone conduction driver works, which is always a plus.
Enough BASS, Treble not harsh. Smooth cable. Also, actually I've Tangzu Warner in my opinion, but i selected this. Satisfied with this IEM. Delivery was fast! Thank you TAS!!!!!
I was searching for mid forward, vocal centric IEM. Looking at options like oracle, mega5est etc. Mr. Pritam was kind enough to attend my numerous calls and indepth discussion and finally suggested me to penon voltage. Hefty price tag and becuz of my already good collection, I was not tempted for any iem if not drastically different sound signature. Again my man Friday Pritamji allowed me audition of his personal set of penon voltage.
Penon voltage is honestly outstanding and justify every penny.
Midst are lush and superb. Treble is outstanding. Male and female vocals are life like. Technically top notch. Base is full and extends deep and thumping. Best part is timber. Jazz, vocals and classical sounds so natural, it seems intimate and soulful. I had u12t, campfire Solaris og, now I have a 64audio volur, but voltage has etched a unique image in my soul. It's sounds like a headphone rather than an iem. Penon audio has an ace up their sleeves.
D32 is way better than expected. Sound imaging & separation is very good. Nice thumpy bass, crystal clear mids. Overall very value for money stuff. All bluetooth codec available. Supports aux in from DAP for hires audio. Fantastic overall.
For quite a long duration, I was looking for an budget IEM with a size that would perfectly sink within ear lobe and will not exert any pressure while being a couch potato , on one side. Atlast this is where the search ended.
Aurora is even a bit smaller in size than Sennheiser IE100 Pros, which were my only go to solution at late nights. I already referred to various other reviews about the sound signature of this tiny one, and was quite confident about the other end of the bargain any way. I will not be hence touch the audio signature stuff , since there are plenty detailed reviews on the youtube and many other forums already. It is the ergonomics which is mostly untouched area of any in ear type monitors, that was more profound for me in this case, for long duration of usage. Also liked the quality of the case supplied with , the whole package is absolutely incredible !
