FiiO JH3 Review

The video is in Arabic.

Hey everyone,

The FiiO JH3 is from JadeAudio, part of FiiO. Thanks to FiiO for sending it for review for Arabic viewers. A hybrid with a 13.6 mm dynamic driver for bass and mids, and two balanced armatures for the treble. 28 ohm and 106 dB sensitivity according to the company, with a 0.78 2-pin connector. It was $60 at the time of the review.

Who is it for?

• Fans of a bright sound (treble heads), and anyone who listens at low volume and struggles to hear details clearly.

Strengths

• Detail is excellent, separation is great, and layering is excellent.
• The mid-bass is strong, punchy and fast, with excellent control and detail.
• Male vocals are closer to natural.
• The best budget IEM for listening at low volume.
• Light, with good isolation, and the channel balance is almost identical.

Weaknesses

• The treble is too bright, and sibilance is audible on a lot of songs.
• Female vocals are forward and thinner than natural.
• Not comfortable for long use: the hook presses behind the ear, and it tired me after one to two hours.
• It needs at least 100 hours of burn-in, and a source with a touch of warmth is better.

Verdict

It’s not a bad IEM at all, it just didn’t suit me because my ears are sensitive to brightness. Personally, I use it for monitoring or at low volume.

Note: this review is from 2022, so price and availability may have changed.
