FiiO FD5 Review: FiiO's New Dynamic Flagship

The Fiio FD5 is an excellent IEM. Given the flagship status on Fiio’s website, I expected as much, and, to be frank, at this price you expect a great earphone. I was very impressed at the bass performance, but that isn’t enough to make a headphone great on its own. What elevates the FD5 to flagship status isn’t the all-metal shells or swappable cable ends — though, those are certainly nice features — it's a sound that is both powerful and detailed, airy and open. Would it surprise you to hear that even though these aren’t designed for gaming, they’re great for that too? It shouldn’t, because it happens that many of the qualities that make a good gaming headphone also make a good audiophile headphone. So, whether you’re an audio enthusiast looking for a headphone with enough punch and slam to make listening fun again or a mixed-purpose user who wants a versatile all-arounder they can use for music one minute and a match of Valorant the next, this is a solid buy.
