FiiO JH5 1 Dynamic & 4 BA Driver Hybrid In Ear Earphones
High performance at a lower cost The FIIO and Jade Audio series of products have always been known for their high performance-to-cost ratio as well as their high build quality, providing audiophiles with affordable yet high-quality devices to listen with. The all-new JH5 is the latest result of FIIO and Jade Audio’s years of audio experience. The high-precision 3D printed construction and the exquisite zinc alloy faceplate are a display of the high-end craftsmanship poured into the JH5 which gives it a luxurious feel you will immediately notice when picking it up. The acoustic design of the JH5 borrows elements from the design of high-end IEMs such as the FH9 and FH7 with the goal of presenting music from genres as diverse as classical to pop all in a high-fidelity manner. At the heart of the JH5 is a 10mm carbon-based dynamic driver which is seamlessly connected to the custom balanced armature drivers covering medium to ultra-high frequencies thanks to the drivers being separated into three independent chambers. The FIIO JH5 is truly an affordable IEM with a highly precise sound that truly lets you experience how good dynamic-BA hybrids can get. 10mm carbon-based dynamic driver The quality of the dynamic driver is especially important in hybrid IEMs as it is the foundation of its sound. The JH5’s 10mm carbon-based dynamic driver is similar to those used in the popular FIIO “Little Conch” series of headphones. However, this driver has been further tweaked, making it a second-generation model that has been designed to work well with the rest of the acoustic design. The carbon-based driver can move quickly resulting in excellent transient performance; all with minimal driver breakup resulting in reduced non-linear distortion. Dual cavity dynamic driver In order to go beyond the typical sound found in its class, the development team placed special attention on optimizing and tuning the JH5’s dynamic driver. The JH5’s dynamic driver features a unique dual-layer cavity, allowing for damping control systems in both the inner and outer chambers to precisely control airflow – resulting in reduced distortion and allowing the diaphragm to move more freely without breakup. The result is extended yet quick bass that is truly “dynamic driver”-like. Asymmetrical internal and external magnetic circuits To ensure that the driver has enough energy to convey even the most robust dynamics in audio, the FIIO JH5 is equipped with a second-generation asymmetric internal and external magnetic circuits design. Compared to the traditional design of a single internal magnet or a single external magnet, the magnetic circuits in the JH5 greatly increase the magnetic field density around the voice coil – leading to more power for a more robust sound as well as improved transient response. The JH5 uses strong N52 neodymium magnets with 1.5T magnetic flux. Stronger magnets ensure a more uniform magnetic field across a...
