FiiO, the leading authority in high resolution lossless audio player, today unveils FH1s Dual Driver Hybrid In-ear Monitor (IEM) in Singapore. The new FH1s is the new and improved iteration of the FiiO FH1 IEM, that was launched in December 2017. Known for its excellent workmanship and sound quality, the FH1 IEM has already bagged multiple awards in the past 2 years, and FH1s is made to carry on that legacy.
On a Never-ending Quest for Improvement
The FiiO FH1s adopts the base of the original FH1, a hybrid design utilising Knowles 33518 balanced (BA) armature driver, and a second 10mm titanium dynamic driver. The FH1 is already a highly acclaimed pair in the audio community. However, in a quest to level up the FH1s, the FiiO team pushed the sound excellence in the IEM. The new FiiO FH1S features a large 13.6mm dynamic driver, made of a bio-polymer diaphragm being driven by extremely robust N50 magnets. This allows the new IEM to perform a powerful yet quick bass as well as crisp and clear drums for a striking overall sound.
Meticulously Engineered
Another detail worth mentioning is the placement of the Knowles 33518 BA driver on the new FH1s. It is located near the front of the body, which is closer to the ear. This little detail by the engineering team helps to reduce high frequency sound loss, therefore improving its treble extension. The driver plays the high frequencies through a brass sound tube, effectively reducing any unwanted resonance. As a result, the higher frequencies from the FiiO FH1S give a sense of realism and tactility you can really feel.
Comparing the two, the FH1s features a bigger and improved dynamic driver. Combined with Knowles BA driver, the new IEM will give listeners deep and revealing bass, astonishingly clear mids and highs, and truly moving lush vocals.
Precisely Tuned Balanced Pressure Relief Technology
While the large 13.6mm dynamic driver on its own provides high quality deep bass, the full potential of the driver is only unlocked with FiiO’s patented balanced pressure relief technology. The precisely tuned balanced pressure relief system equalises the air pressure in the front and back of the body, greatly enhancing the soundstage and reducing your ear’s fatigue when listening.
Unique with Each Piece
The FH1s is made from layered celluloid, a material widely used for making guitar picks due to his innate music properties. Due to this layering technique, each FH1s faceplate has its own distinctive look, giving each FH1s its own unique personality.
Included with the FH1s is a custom-made cable made of 120 braided individual high purity mono-crystalline Litz wires. Each Litz wire is insulated from each other, ensuring better audio transmission performance under the naturally-occurring yet adverse skin effect. What this means for actual listening are improved bass and mids, as well as more coherency between all audio frequencies.
True Wireless Upgrade
Transform the FH1s into earphones perfect for workouts with the FiiO UTWS1 true wireless Bluetooth module (0.78mm 2-pin edition). You can transform the FH1S to be a true wireless headset in seconds! With support for TWS+ technology and the high-definition aptX Bluetooth audio format, the UTWS1 is the perfect partner to the FH1S to give you the convenience of true wireless, without sacrificing sound quality.
