Youtube Video Summary

The FiiO FH7S comes in at around $400 and feels like a course correction after the troubled FH5s. Build is robust with an angular, all-metal shell and a handsome—if stiff—stock cable that supports swappable terminations (3.5 mm and 4.4 mm). Accessory loadout is generous: SpinFit tips, FiiO’s new grippy silicone tips, foams, a tip case, tuning filters, and an MMCX tool. Comfort is very good with easy insertion and medium-sized shells, though fit security is only so-so, benefiting from slightly longer SpinFit tips. The included filters make measurable but minor changes; “balanced” proves the safest bet for most use.

Sonically, the FH7S is a bassy hybrid tuned somewhere between warm V and warm neutral: thick low end, well-extended treble, and upper mids that sit close to Super* Review’s preferred target. The story here is the excellent treble—smooth, airy, and detailed—plus a wide headstage; a new notch filter appears to curb sibilance effectively on hot recordings. The downside is the bass quality: abundant in quantity but soft on attack and a bit bloated/smeary (“nightclub” vibe), which can blur momentum even if it doesn’t cloud that superb top end. Versus peers, Dunu’s Vulcan offers the better bass texture but duller, clackier treble and weaker imaging, while the Mangird T2 is the most neutral/easy listen with excellent fit yet less excitement overall. As a package, FH7S reads as a redemption for FiiO’s hybrids—treble and stage are standout—and ultimately earns 4/5 stars despite the swampy low end.
