Collection-level Industrial Design Feiao FD5 Headset Listening Experience

talk about Feiao FD5! The first time I saw this earphone was at the 5th ZHIFI exhibition in Beijing. Several products including FD5 left a very deep impression on me. In my personal opinion, FD5 should be regarded as the most exquisite earphone launched by Feiao in 2020! No one!! Feiao official uses such words to describe it:

a collection-level industrial design and production;

selection of two high-standard diaphragm materials;

three breakthrough acoustic design applications.

, it uses a surgical grade stainless steel cavity and its surface is mirror polished. The relief 3D stainless steel carved back plate is one of the highlights of the earphone. The back plate cleverly uses a raised streamline shape to hide the tuning hole of the earphone. The raised streamlined design is quite similar to its own ring iron earphone FH5, but it is more delicate in surface treatment. The raised surface adopts a mirror design, interlaced with the light and shadow of the matte panel, outlining a rushing mountain and waterfall.

FD5 is made of stainless steel, which can well suppress resonance. There is no curve mutation point inside the cylindrical cavity structure, and the reflection of sound transmission will be greatly reduced. Semi-open designs are also conducive to reducing standing waves. These designs greatly reduce sound distortion.

more distinctive is that the earphone adopts a replaceable catheter design, and the official provides a pair of large and small sound tubes. The large-sized sound is more balanced, and the small-sized performance is bass. A waterproof gasket is added to the end of the tone tube of FD5, which has a very high fit with the headphone cavity.

headphones are very textured in the hand. Although they are made of stainless steel, they can not bear too much weight. When worn around the ears, they also perform well in terms of wearing fastness and comfort. For me personally, the only disadvantage is that it is really cold to wear outdoors in winter.

Feiao earlier adopted a replaceable plug design on its C- RE gold, silver and copper alloy wire, and then the flat plug EM5 also adopted this design. Feiao FD5 is the second earphone with a replaceable plug design. The earphone is matched with an eight-strand high-purity monocrystalline copper silver-plated wire. It is designed with in-line replaceable audio plug and comes standard with 3.5MM/2.5MM/4.4MM three plugs, which is convenient for users to use with players of different models and outputs. The wire still uses an expanded MMCX replaceable wire joint.

accessories, various types of silicone covers have become commonplace. This time Feiao also presented Final Audio's thread changing clip and a very delicate leather storage bag. If you buy these two accessories separately, you will also need a small 200 yuan. In terms of FD5 accessories, the major accessories factories are still quite sincere.

an artistic appearance, FD5 is also very "gorgeous" inside ". It is equipped with a moving coil unit with a diameter of 12mm, which uses a beryllium-plated DLC dome diaphragm. The unit adopts N52 high magnetic flux external magnetic structure, and the magnetic flux reaches 1.5 Tesla. DLC diamond materials have strong rigidity and produce less deformation when following voice coil vibration, which helps to restore the natural color of sound. The 1.5T magnetic flux brings strong analytical power.

In addition, the front and rear chambers of the earphone have been carefully laid out and designed. Feiao engineers added an acoustic prism device commonly used in sound technology for sound reinforcement and phase adjustment to the front chamber of FD5 to solve the time delay caused by different sound wave propagation paths. The back chamber is added with a "volcanic pile" structure, and the back cover adopts a semi-open design. This is beneficial and enhances the low-frequency diffusion of the back cavity, reduces standing waves and reduces distortion. At the same time, it can relieve the pressure of ear canal and bring a comfortable experience of lasting hearing. We can see that the internal structure of the entire earphone is very complicated.

Feiao FD5 completely surpasses the performance of this price. It has excellent information and analytical power, solid and powerful, clean and natural human voice, accompanied by good density and line, excellent high-frequency extension, and reflects the clear and transparent characteristics. In the ever-changing sound, FD5 presents a proud dynamic and transient display. And its sound field is sufficient to meet our daily listening needs.

using the same type of Spinfit silicone sleeve, Feiao FD5 has excellent low-frequency diving, sonorous and powerful, and at the same time, it also has more sense of quantity than the Dayin "Zen" in my hand. This headset has an excellent dynamic presentation, which can reflect a good sense of music and atmosphere. Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones's "Kentucky" slowly flowed with fluffy accompaniment, while the strength and details of the low frequency were in place. At the same time, low frequencies such as FD5 are also particularly suitable for performing some HIP-HOP, electronic music and rock music.

is used to listen to "Baby Have Pity On Me" Salvant by Cecile Mclorin. The singer is very young, but the jazz singing skills are very sophisticated, and the delicate and natural vocal performance of FiiO FD5 makes Cecile's changeable and magical voice oncoming. As a moving-coil earphone, the transient performance of FD5 is remarkable. Whether it is the overtones of human voices or guitar and other instruments, it shows a calm and slightly charming style, but it is not as cold as some headphones. The outline of FD5 to human voices is described as colorless in Shu Lang. Its accurate feedback on small changes in sound is just like Cecile's old singing skills, and every detail is handled very properly.

I also tried some fully expanded MQA documents, such as Noelia Rodiles playing Mendelssohn's wordless song (Op.30 No.3). The combination of M15 and FD5 can reflect the delicate and peaceful situation in the recording file. The brightness of the piano treble area is very scientific and the amount of information is sufficient, which also makes the high-frequency level more delicate. In my personal opinion, the high frequency of FD5 focuses more on the rich presentation of information than on winning by surprise.

FiiO M15 and FD5 are used to listen to some slightly larger chamber music effects. The positioning of this matching instrument is accurate and clear, and the sound field is not deliberately rendered too large. However, FD5 has a better performance in the image, separation and sound field of sound under the output of 4.4MM. FiiO FD5 is an earplug that is relatively easy to match. mobile phones and tablet devices such as iQOO Neo3 and iPad Mini5 in my hand can also match good sounds, not to mention the player. it has a natural and simple vocabulary and style, and can restore the true taste of music. therefore, it can adapt to different forms of music expression.
