Fish Talk-Feiao FA9 Unpacking Evaluation

Feiao has produced another new product! Under the influence of the epidemic, most HIFI manufacturers, silent silence, pigeons. After returning to work, Feiao still maintained the same rhythm as a mobile phone brand, introducing several new products, and recently announced the sale of its own FA series flagship new product FA9. This is a six-unit mobile flagship headset, which is also Feiao's flagship headset with the highest selling price at 3998 yuan.

Let's look at the packaging first. The packaging of FA9 is different from that of the previous generation FA7. The overall style is unified to M15 player. The front of the box is very simple, with only one brand LOGO and Hi-Res small gold logo. The product on the back of the box introduces the tuning switch function. FA9 can adjust four tuning modes through hardware, and also adds frequency response curves corresponding to the four tuning modes.

In terms of accessories, FA7 comes standard with six kinds of earphone covers according to Feiao tradition, with a total of 15 pairs. You can match them according to your own preferences. The second is the standard blue leather hard earphone storage box, which is still HB3. Open the earphone storage box and you can also find a small cloth storage bag containing SK-01 magnetic wire clips and brushes. The brush is specially designed, and the bottom of the brush is also a part-time tuning stick. Because FA9 uses the gear switch to adjust the electronic frequency division to change the tuning mode, but it is limited by the volume of the earplug itself, so the key is relatively small, and the tuning stick is needed to complete the adjustment.

FA7 is 8 strands of single crystal copper silver plated wire, universal expansion MMCX interface and 3.5 single-ended gold plated plug. This wire is enough with FA9 headphones, but there is no balance plug attached! Although it is possible to get a balanced version of the standard wire by participating in the drying list, it is not as good as the standard version of a large three-yuan replaceable plug of its own.

Compared with accessories, the body of FA9 has been significantly upgraded compared with the previous generation of Feiao products. First of all, Feiao FA9 adopts Germany's imported high-transparency resin with EU IA medical certification and the fourth generation of high-precision 3D printing technology, which makes the cavity more comfortable and durable, and does not change color.
FA9 also uses a diamond-like cutting panel similar to Z1R, which is embedded in a translucent glazed black resin cavity. The transparent color matching cavity I chose is crystal clear, just like a flawless diamond. Taking the cavity to shine sunlight through different angles can reflect the ever-changing light.

looking at the inside of the cavity, Feiao FA9 adopts the six-unit moving iron configuration of Lou's. Through the transparent cavity, you can see the compact units and neat wiring. In terms of acoustic structure, Feiao adopts a three-conduit quad structure and an 80.6mm ultra-long low-frequency labyrinth catheter design. Among them, the ultra-long low-frequency labyrinth catheter design is a low-pass filter. The main purpose is to enhance the purity of low-frequency. The actual effect is very significant. We will discuss this in detail below.
Feiao also introduced electronic frequency division technology on FA9, and adjusted eight kinds of sounds through three-speed switch adjustment. The first switch controls the high and low impedance, which can be selected independently according to the front-end collocation; the second switch controls the high-frequency gain, turns off to reduce the tooth sound, and turns on to increase the brightness and sharpness of the high-frequency; the third switch controls the low-frequency gain, opens and weakens The low frequency increases the density and energy sense of the intermediate frequency, and turns off, which weakens the intermediate frequency and increases the low.
On wearing, Feiao FA9 is not a big problem. For this price, ergonomic design is adopted. Through accurate calculation of big data, the male mold cavity printed in 3D can be easily worn by most people. And as a six-unit moving iron earphone, FA9 has excellent weight control. The weight of a single earphone is only 6.2g, and it will not be very tiring to wear it for a long time.

When listening to Feiao FA9 (standard mode), the first feeling it gave me was the high quality brought by the configuration of FA9 six moving iron units. The sound is pure and transparent, with good information and sound details. When the headset is adjusted to the high resistance mode, the purity of the sound and the contrast of the tone will be even greater. At that time, FA9 was not only boring and high-quality. The tuning style of FA9 made the sound warm, soft and loose, and not aggressive.
FA9 has a moderate sense of low frequency quantity, good texture and diving performance, and there is no problem of low frequency "knocking iron sheet" of moving iron headphones. Among them, the labyrinth catheter design makes FA9 much better than the previous generation FA7 in low frequency. Compared with the moving iron earphone, the sound will be cleaner and cleaner. It also has a loose atmosphere and some moving circle flavor. Compared with the real moving coil earphone, it will still feel a little dry and cold at low frequency, and the atmosphere will be worse.
The medium frequency density is high, the sense of energy is strong, the human voice is full, warm, smooth and full of emotion. The voice of FA9 is balanced and positive, and both men and women can control it. The male voice is mellow and upright, with full line feeling, and the female voice is sweet and soft, warm and delicate.
At high frequency, FA9 showed special restraint on treble, suppressing the brightness and extension of high frequency and extremely high frequency, but the whole was still stretched. The sound is pleasant but not thorny, bright and full, loose and gentle. The sound has a sense of line, and the overall sound style is warm and moist. In terms of musical instruments, FA9 will have a good performance in the interpretation of popular instruments, especially stringed instruments, but when the human voice and the instrument are played together, the human voice and the instrument are very close, and the sound is not open enough.

FA9 does not require much thrust. With a mobile phone with a small tail or Bluetooth earpiece, you can launch a 7788, while with a player with stronger control power, there will be obvious information and dynamic improvement. In terms of matching, FA9 is versatile and can perform well with all kinds of players.

On the whole, Feiao FA9 is very good, with obvious progress compared with the previous generation, good innovation and good competitiveness compared with the same price. However, from a long-term perspective, compared with those brands that have been self-sufficient at 4k or even higher prices, Feiao has little advantage. Similar to Xiaomi's impact on the high end, Feiao's strongest weapon for flagship products with higher selling price and higher positioning is not black technology, nor is it its own unique tuning style, but still the price. Feiao's products often do not have big shortcomings, and even make good results in many places, but they do not have the strengths that can surpass the audience. The reason why this makes me choose Feiao is often rational and conservative. Rational and conservative is good, but I also hope that Feiao can do something that can stimulate me to lose my mind.
