Review: FiiO EH3 NC Headphones

FiiO should be commended for delivering the EH3 NC they have at the price they’ve been able to. Ultimately, they’ve delivered a pretty competent pair of general-purpose wireless headphones that just so happen to have noise-cancelling and other multimedia connectivity/features as a very sharp price. It seems that FiiO has a way to go to get their noise cancellation quality and effectiveness up-to-par with the competition, but hopefully there’s a firmware-deliverable DSP tweak that’s able to lessen the effect that the EH3 NC’s ANC has on its frequency response, as for music listening it’s not great right now. Build quality will likely only improve from here on in, but for the sub-$200 price-tag there are certainly no complaints. Let’s see how they hold up to a few more months of commuting. 

The fact that FiiO has also ensured that the EH3 NC is compatible with a range of modern Bluetooth codecs means that it will be relevant long into the future, meaning that an already good value purchase will be even better value down the track. Plus, you can simply plug them into a source via USB for bit-perfect playback, and you have yourself a pretty good pair of wired headphones at a pinch should you choose to power them passively.
