FIIO F3 Wired In-Ear Earphones 15-20000 Hz - Cable Length 1.2 m - Black/Red/White

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.

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.

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.

The sound quality is nice but a few problems, firstly using an iPhone 6s with these the stereo is swapped so the left is the right and the right is the left so I had to switch sides which isn’t super comfortable, the cable gave out after a few weeks too

Fiio F3 Headphones. Excellent Headphones, Good value for the money. Sound like more expensive headphones.

Such a shame, for such good sound quality, the build quality is atrocious. I have brought 2 pairs of these earphones and both have broken within 6 months, absolutely ridiculous. Avoid these headphones at all costs.

Good sound and comfortable

Se dejó de escuchar de un lado a los 6 meses de uso, de un día para otro paso esto. No les dí un uso más del normal. Lástima que pasara esto porque la calidad era buena y me los recomendaron mucho

The headphones are great value, with great sound. I use them at work at my desk, and although not advertised as noise-cancelling, work well for me for that purpose as well being in a shared office with all the outside noise associated with that. The cable has been sturdy, with all connections working well. Very happy with the purchase, will another pair for home/travel use.

I will begin my review of the Fiio F3's with the basic presentation, well protected,no damages to product container, little effort to remove the inner liner of the protective sleeve,push down on the foam surrounding to remove the iem's,the compartment below the iem's is where you will find the included faux carbon zippered carrying case, the case which contains the metallic colored facias,I personally use the red for right,and the blue for left, you will also find in the case earhooks and eartips,used neither, I used a pair of Comply TX 500 series foam tips,they are a wide bore design with wax guard ,they have opened up the sound potential of the graphene dynamic driver which fall into the 15 Hz,to20 KHz of frequency response at 98 dB/mW impedance per manufactures listed specs are really smooth in their sound reproduction ! Little trick I did,was to take a small black tie wire wrap and wrapped it below the mic housing too reduce snaggle potential ! Moving on to the construction, nothing truly remarkable, I did like the interchangeable facias,nice touch there,the 3.5mm cord very durable and solid too the touch, you can wear these either in the conventional or in the over the ear fashion,I choose the over ear mode,just preference really,I use Deoxit cleaner on all exposed conductive surfaces it has been my experiences overall it pays off in the long run truly ! Now we will address the intial sound impressions,my sources so far are an LG V20,I Mac laptop,and my Fiio 5 dap, my choice for ampilfers are the Fiio 7,12,and 17 model's,Oppo HA2 se, Chord Mojo,dual tube Woo Audio ampilfer,and finally a custom Cmoy ! These iem's have intially handled all the above cited peripherals,for instance,my LG V20 which runs Tidal and Spotify premium,this mobile platform also incorporates a quad dac using an ESS chipset,and these iem's perform in conjunction with the V20,admirably without additional amplification ,the bass is very well balanced and present,mids are controlled and the highs are not overly simbalant,now I have coupled these iem's with the above forementioned amplifier models and it seems at least to myself too enhance the listening experience substantially ! I am a sound engineer by profession,I usually deal with large concert style sound systems,I currently run a 24 track, Cambridge mk2 series sound board along with various other effects,one must understand in my opinion,sound is a placebo effect,what I hear will not be what another hears essentially ! To close out my review,the Fiio F3 series iem's are truly worthy of one's consideration,economical and they deliver in the sound landscaping department ! Very pleased with my decision, I did the intial homework and reviewed other forms of respectable opinions it has most definitely helped to shape my purchase decision of the F3's ! Are these my end all iem's.... honestly,no, I own several others,ie.Meze 12 Classics,Ocharaku iems,Dunu's and a pair of AK Layla series iem's amongst others,but the Fiio F3 series iem's have the potential of maybe becoming my end all iem's in the economical department ! Solid performers so far ! Only the long run will determine their ranking within my ever expanding collection !

This is a serious audiophile grade equipment on pennies. The blend of High's Mids and Low is astonishing, hard to imagine this thing was home delivered for 1.4k.If you're someone who enjoys music and the entire spectrum of tonal nuances presented on a sound stage.... And you're on a budget.... F3 is the way to go.Offers a perfect balance of tones and notes... The guitars sound sweeter than my iPhone earpods and the vocals woesome.If you're an EDM freak....The basses are neutral++, 3 compared to your boat or othrr cheap bass heavy earphone on steroids. This one Lets you enjoy the whole spectrum.I could have lived with an extra ounce of bass ..... One note up.... But the punch is accurate and doesn't overpower everything else, like on the Sennheiser 275.Well done Fiio.

Ayant testé plusieurs casques et écouteurs dans la gamme de prix de 15 à 250 €, il arrive que l'on préfère un casque ou écouteurs à 25 € à un autre à plus de 200 € : en voici un exemple type ! Les casques neutres sont très rares à dénicher, caque appareil a la plupart du temps une coloration acoustique particulière qu'on peut aimer ou non. Ce Fiio F3 a un rendu très équilibré et assez neutre, ce qui fait qu'il reproduit tout style de musique de manière satisfaisante ("classique", orchestre symphonique, jazz instru et vocal, rock, électro, etc...).Il n'est peut-être pas aussi neutre qu'un AKG K701, mais pas loin, et l'AKG est trop court niveau basses, le Fiio F3 fait mieux de ce côté.Un Fostex TE-04, par exemple, a une coloration beaucoup plus marquée, chaude et basseuse mais du coup avec un gros manque de clarté : je préfère nettement le rendu de ce Fiio pour plus de 3 fois moins cher !Bref, pour le prix, ce Fiio F3 est imbattable; il y a sûrement mieux, pour cela, faudra y mettre largement plus qu'un zéro de plus dans le prix !Comme souvent dans ce genre d'appareil, il ne faut pas se fier au prix : ce n'est pas parce que vous aurez payé un casque très cher qu'il vous plaira, vous serez même peut-être déçu d'avoir payé 200 € pour quelque chose qui vous paraîtra "une bouse" ! Donc toujours écouter avant d'acheter !.... quand c'est possible ! ;-)Si c'est cher mais qu'il n'est pas possible d'écouter le casque avant d'acheter, fuyez ! ...ou alors rabattez-vous sur ce Fiio F3 très abordable : pour le prix, vous pouvez l'acheter les yeux fermés.
