- I have been in search of a pair of IEMs ever since I left my Shure SE215s in my trousers and then proceeded to put them in washer. This was 3 months ago. The Shures were my go to earphones for anything outside the house, whether it was gym, flights, or just a walk in the park. For my home use, I prefer headphones and in the past few years, I’ve owned, bought and sold several including Sennheiser HD650, Grado SR325, AKG K702, Focal Listen wireless and Sennheiser Momentum to name a few. Shure, simply because of its easiness to carry and noise isolation, was my go to travel set. I didn’t expect the Shures to perform as well as the Sennheiser or the other over ear models, but it was surprisingly good and met my requirements. So when it finally got damaged after 7 years of use in every possible scenario, I started looking for something that would be at least as good as those. I had a set of criteria that these earphones needed to meet.Budget of $100-200. I simply didn’t expect IEMs to be as good as full sized headphones (for price), so wasn’t sure if I should be spending over $200 on them.Portable. No funny connectors, easy to carry and easy to drive using cell phones, laptops, tablets etc.Good fit and isolation. I am going to be using these in gym so they better not pop out and on flights so they need to isolate external noise well.Obviously, with a bit of research, my concerns were mitigated and I was only looking at earphones that met these criteria. So why did I pick Fiio F9 pro?I have used Fiio products before, and one of my first portable amps was a Fiio. I know that they make good products at very competitive price. I actually didn’t know that they made IEMs, but once I found out, I knew that it was going to be some of the best in that price range.Second, the reviews here on amazon, and elsewhere were quite positive. Third, by spending $40 more on these than the Shure SE215, I was hoping that these would be somewhat of an upgrade (which in terms of specs it is - triple driver, metal body etc.). So how is it?I can tell you that I am very very proud of myself for deciding to go with these :) (I know I know..). What I mean is, it was absolutely the right decision! It’s been 3 days since I’ve had them and I could not be any more happier.In terms of build quality, they are very well made, but you expect that when you pay more than $100 for a pair of earphones/headphones. The isolation is on point, similar to the Shures. That was one of the reasons that I chose to go with this shape. They provide really good isolation and stay in ear really well.Soundwise, they are better than the Shure SE215s in every way, top to bottom. There is more detail, the sound is cleaner, the bass is deeper and tighter and treble is well pronounced. I honestly wasn’t expecting these to be this good. This outperforms majority of the headphones I have used.**You have to remember that you are entering a territory of diminishing returns once you spend over $100 for earphones. Even the Shures that cost 5 times as much as 215s are probably 10% better performance wise.**Let us look at the sound a bit in-depth.Detail: Amazing. I wouldn’t say I’m hearing anything new but the sound is so balanced top to bottom. The very soft intros and outros that you would just ignore can be heard clearly. I’ve been listening to Game of Thrones soundtrack (highly recommended), and I’m paying attention to every little detail. Up there with the best I’ve heard. 9/10Bass: Absolutely kills it. Probably the most balanced and deep bass I’ve heard in any headphone or IEM. I guess having a dedicated driver makes a big difference. The bass is tight, super responsive and goes deep. It is not overpowering at any time and really adjusts very well with volume (best I’ve seen). Sometimes, the problem I’d have with my Shure SE215s was that bass could becoming fatiguing at low volumes. I’d be listening late at night or in a quiet place like library and had to turn it really down for bass to not become overpowering. None of that here. The F9 pro really adjusts very well with volume and the bass is always there in the same proportion I feel. It’s tighter and deeper than Shure’s bass, and there’s absolutely no bloating. That’s what makes it not overpowering in my opinion. 10/10Mids: I find it very satisfying. It’s not forward like Grados, probably a bit less brilliant compared to the awesome bass and treble these IEMs have. But it’s not bad by any means. It does the job perfectly well, perhaps doesn’t excel as much as the bass or treble do. 8/10Treble: Amazing again. Bass is my favorite feature on these but treble is a close second. I think it will only get better as the earphones burn in. Nonetheless, it leaves nothing to be desired to my ears. It’s there, plenty of it, but doesn’t get sibilant. 9/10Overall, I think this is now my favorite pair. The sennheiser HD650s, especially when paired with tube amp, are warmer but lack bass compared to the Fiio. The grados have great mids, but are too trebly. When you compare the overall convenience of having a portable pair that can do anything and can be powered using mobile devices, it\'s just an unbeatable combination.I absolutely recommend this to anybody looking into IEMs. You will not be disappointed.
