FiiO JH5 in-ear monitors, black

Higher Quality, easier to access to

The FIIO x JadeAudio series of products have always been known for their high performance-to-cost ratio as well as their high build quality, providing audiophiles with affordable yet high-quality devices to listen with. The all-new JH5 is the latest result of FIIO and Jade Audio’s years of audio experience. The high-precision 3D printed construction and the exquisite zinc alloy faceplate are a display of the high-end craftsmanship poured into the JH5 which gives it a luxurious feel you will immediately notice when picking it up.

Just Hear 5! High and low, quality everywhere

The acoustic design of the JH5 borrows elements from the design of high-end IEMs such as the FH9 and FH7 with the goal of presenting music from genres as diverse as classical to pop all in a high-fidelity manner. At the heart of the JH5 is a 10mm carbon-based dynamic driver which is seamlessly connected to the custom balanced armature drivers covering medium to ultra-high frequencies thanks to the drivers being separated into three independent chambers. The FIIO JH5 is truly an affordable IEM with a highly precise sound that truly lets you experience how good dynamic-BA hybrids can get.

Impressive 10mm carbon-based dynamic driver

The JH5’s 10mm carbon-based dynamic driver is similar to those used in the popular FIIO “Little Conch” series of headphones. However, this driver has been further tweaked, making it a second-generation model that has been designed to work well with the rest of the acoustic design. The carbon-based driver can move quickly resulting in excellent transient performance; all with minimal driver breakup resulting in reduced non-linear distortion.

Custom BA drivers -- mid and high frequencies

To ensure the dynamic driver worked well with the balanced armature drivers, the development team borrowed design ideas from high-end hybrid IEMs like the FH9 and FH7. Two custom BA drivers handle the mid and high frequencies. These two BA drivers were specially designed along with the dynamic driver to have a resonance peak at 2.8kHz, which also happens to be a resonance frequency formed by the shape of the human ear. The result is not only a smooth transition between the dynamic and balanced armature driver, but also ensures that the transition between different drivers is also well-suited for the shape of the human ear – resulting in a more natural soundstage and overall a smoother sound.

Custom BA drivers -- ultra-high frequencies

the development team also saw fit to equip the JH5 with two custom ultra-high frequency (UHF) BA drivers. These two UHF drivers were placed closer to the sound nozzle – which itself was made to have a thicker inner part, be shorter in length, and have a small curvature. The result of this design allows the FIIO JH5 to be well-extended in the treble, being able to capably produce ultra-high frequencies. It will let you feel every pluck of instrument strings, bringing you that much closer to the music performance.

Included 392 wires of silver-plated copper headphone cable

The FIIO JH5 comes standard with a cable made of high-purity silver-plated copper wires. Every 14 wires are twisted into a small strand, and 7 small strands make up one large strand. With a total of 4 large strands, the JH5’s cable boasts a total of 392 wires. The wires are each independently insulated and Litz braided, which increases the conductive area and improves high-frequency detail.
