Today, I’ll review the flagship IEMs from FiiO, the FX17. While they might look like just another IEM release from FiiO, these aren’t run-of-the-mill IEMs upon closer inspection. With a CNC-machined titanium body, custom dynamic drivers, balanced armatures, and electrostatic drivers working in a 5-way configuration—including a one-of-a-kind electronic crossover and an equally impressive detachable cable that uses a combination of monocrystalline gold, copper, and silver—I’m sure there aren’t any additional peaks to climb after listening to these.
As flagship models in their portfolio, the FX17 will cost you a pretty penny, priced at €1590 locally and $1499 in the USA, though I’m not sure for how long that will last. Without further ado, let’s dive in and uncover everything there is to know about them.
