2021 Excellent HIFI Equipment Review Ep. 1 -- feiao FH9 evaluation
2021 has just passed, and it is time to update everyone's favorite "annual excellent HIFI equipment inventory" [goo
this year, I will change the form of the overall inventory, and plan to split the annual review into separate articles to meet everyone's demand for depth of introduction. If you want it later, you can also integrate it into a complete list for your reference ~
don't say much, just introduce EP. The protagonist of 1, the new flagship of the headset from Feiao -- FH9.
FH9 is one of the double flagship products born in the jet update in the second half of Feiao 2021. It is the pinnacle of Feiao earphone series in terms of design, materials, texture and sound quality. He has equipped Feiao with hardware technology that has been deeply cultivated in the field of in-ear headphones for many years. He has also made new attempts and breakthroughs in acoustic structure and physical structure. What is more rare is that it has completely got rid of the stereotype of plain tuning of Feiao headphones. The integration of these advantages has not only achieved Feiao's strongest sound quality so far, but also made one of the best products in the industry at a price of 10,000 yuan.
According to Feiao's consistent positioning characteristics, FH9 has the quality of high-end earphones, but only the pricing of mid-end earphones, making it my most recommended in-ear earphones throughout the second half of 2021.
Design:
FH9 still adopts Feiao's new family packaging design, with excellent texture and simple and atmospheric colorful printing.
accessories have a flagship style. They not only have 16 pairs of earmuffs with different materials and timbre, but also are equipped with three different tuning filters, leather storage bags, magnetic storage buckles, cleaning tools and MMCX plug-in aids.
We have seen this storage box in advance on FD5, FD7 and other models. It is very good in terms of appearance, protection and space size.
FH9 hardware configuration is this original wire with explosive quality.
it uses ultra-high-cost eight-strand single crystal pure silver wire base, Litz structure weaving, soft and comfortable wire body, black silver appearance low-key and stable.
connectors are made of metal, of which the plug and splitter are made of stainless steel, and the MMCX pins are made of titanium alloy consistent with the earphone body, with consistent texture and excellent look and feel.
FH9 still uses Feiao's replaceable plug design, which is convenient for everyone to use with various front ends.
on the whole, the original line standard of FH9 is surprising. The market price of single crystal silver wire of the same material and workmanship should be around 2000 yuan. The original line used by Feiao to make 4000 yuan headphones is simply foul. This line is a perfect choice in any aspect, so FH9 does not need to change the line.
headset body is not only a continuation of the tradition of Feiao, but also a new attempt and breakthrough.
is the FH9 all titanium alloy exquisite shell, which is the only luxury configuration in the price. As a practitioner in the aviation industry, I am very familiar with titanium alloy. It is light, hard, not afraid of corrosion, and has a unique metal texture. It is an ideal choice for earphone shells. However, the physical properties of titanium alloy determine its processing difficulty is extremely high, especially the hollow panel part of FH9. According to my experience, CNC yield and scrap rate should be very poor, which also determines its high processing cost and low production efficiency. Therefore, the price of headphones using titanium alloy is basically above 10,000 yuan.
Feiao's use of all titanium in the 4000 gear is another very scary decision. It is estimated that it is too late to regret half of it. FH9 may also be the last time Feiao has used titanium alloy... lose money and earn a cry, and buy and cherish it [laugh
quietly enjoy the perfect texture of titanium alloy, zinc alloy, aluminum alloy, stainless steel is difficult to reach the height ~
FH9 is very fine, the seams are almost invisible, the entire sandblasted surface is fine and smooth, and the hand feels first-class.
, due to the plugging of a 13.6mm giant moving coil unit and six moving iron units, the cavity size of FH9 is relatively large, but it is more comfortable to wear. The weight of titanium alloy also wants to be light and has a good street experience.
generally.,FH9 has completely exceeded its own price in terms of packaging accessories, appearance design, workmanship and overall texture, and is no less than 10,000 yuan. In particular, the ultra-high level original line and exquisite all-titanium technology are unique in the entire industry.
sound:
too long don't look at the version:
FH9 is a new level of sound quality performance of Feiao headphones. It not only greatly surpasses the previous generation of products, but also has obvious advantages in other products at the same price. Even some players with 10,000 yuan range have the power to fight. Its unit quality is excellent, especially the unique advantages of the large-size moving circle unit are impressive. The tuning has also changed from the flat style before Feiao, which has made a warm appeal and a good grasp of pop music. My friends, UP owners and fans all gave FH9 high praise after experiencing it.
Hardware Configuration Level,FH9 uses a 13.6mm super-large moving coil unit as the medium and low frequency core, and combines it with the medium and high frequency core composed of six Knowles moving iron units to form the most complex and luxurious acoustic structure so far.
is particularly worth mentioning is FH9, the moving coil unit-it uses the largest diameter of 13.6mm in the current hybrid iron earphone, which is larger than Sony Z1R's 13.5mm, and has exceeded the caliber of many single-moving coil flagship......
such a huge DLC high rigidity ball top and large stroke soft suspension edge, FH9' s top low frequency quality has been achieved. Its low frequency dynamics and momentum have reached the peak level in the current in-ear headphones.
FH9 is also equipped with a semi-open structure that has been used all the way from FD5. The naturalness and openness of sound are added, avoiding redundant reflection and wave building. But correspondingly, the sound insulation performance of FH9 is slightly weaker than that of the traditional closed ear.
Objective measurement aspects, there is no reliable third-party frequency response measurement at present, so we will use the official FR chart to roughly analyze the trend:
, the three-frequency distribution of FH9 is relatively balanced, the low frequency is relatively gentle, the sense of quantity is moderate, and the extremely low frequency is slowly raised. There is no Roll-off until 10Hz, and the low frequency quality can be seen. The intermediate frequency part has a relatively standard resonance peak, which is close to the trend of Haman curve and is relatively bright and positive. The extremely high frequency is smooth and conservative, attenuating rapidly after 10kHz, without excess.
subjective auditory aspect, it is in good agreement with objective measurements:
FH9 is the full and low frequency of surging and full of strength. The strong dynamics and excellent diving brought by the large-size moving coil unit are impressive. Each drum beat is full of elasticity and impact force, and has the feeling of big ears. At the same time, its control of the sense of low frequency also ensures the clarity and layering of the low frequency, and will not cause turbidity or affect the permeability of the intermediate frequency. On the whole, the low frequency quality of FH9 can be ranked in the top two in the plugs I have heard, which is deep in my heart of low frequency control.
if low frequency is the sound basis of FH9, then the performance of intermediate frequency is the finishing touch of FH9. A change from the conservative and bland intermediate frequency tuning of Feiao in the past, the intermediate frequency of FH9, on the basis of positive timbre, renders a kind of warm with delicate, full and infectious mellow texture, especially for the rendering of magnetic vocals and all kinds of violin guitars. When I talked about FH9 with my friends before, I described it as "full of vitality". Although it looks metaphysical, if you use FH9 to listen to some jazz vocals and string classical music, you will definitely agree with me.
FH9 is also good. With the blessing of the six Lou's moving iron units, its medium and high frequencies are transparent and natural, rich in details, and its spatial sense focuses on "intimate". The brightness is relatively conservative. The listening sense is relatively soft and stretches, and there is basically no irritation or abruptness. However, relatively speaking, the extremely high frequency performance of FH9 is mediocre, the attenuation is faster after 10kHz, the sound is less air and luster, and the extremely high frequency overtones of some metal musical instruments are also slightly weakened, which is the only difference between FH9 and some top flagships above 10,000 yuan.
FH9 uses a replaceable filter design, and the three filters change the overall energy distribution by filtering the high frequency. Personally, I like green and red filters best. Green is an undamped filter. The sound is original and can release all high-frequency details. The red filter screen further increases the physical sense of medium and low frequencies and is more infectious to the performance of pop music and human voice. You can try it according to your taste.
, FH9 is a relatively good earphone to drive, whether it is a small tail, Bluetooth tail or portable player.
matching its own M17 is undoubtedly the best combination, but the M11Plus of the lower two gears is not inferior, and there is no need to match the FH9 with too strong front end.
another thing worth mentioning is that I personally prefer FH9 under single-ended.
to sum up, FH9, as Feiao's flagship in service, has achieved a brand-new height in terms of hardware configuration, tuning level, appearance design, material selection and workmanship, and has also pushed Feiao into the door of top earphone manufacturers-whether it is unit quality or overall innovative tuning, it has the confidence to challenge the industry's flagship products.
its ultra-high-level wire rod, pure titanium alloy cavity regardless of cost, and the largest hybrid moving coil unit are all unique in the industry. In line with Feiao's pricing strategy that has always made friends big, FH9 is willing to price the middle end with top sound quality in mind.2021 the best stopper in my mind's title is also a matter of course, full marks recommended!
