After getting back and forth I've finally decided to order FA19 again. I've been using them for a couple of days now and I'm gonna share my impressions. The fit is fantastic. When I opened the box and saw them all my worries about the fit dissapeard immediately. They are really not that big as...

Is Supermix 4 a good upgrade if I have Fiio JD7?

I cancelled my order sadly. Last night I started having doubts about the fit. Then this morning I woke up and read @Vamp898 post so I made my choice. I think I overhyped myself too much with FA19. I'm a little upset but also relieved I didn't spend 1k. At this price point there shouldn't be...

Guys, my local store just received the FA19 today and never in my life did I press the order button so quickly haha. They should arrive in 2 days I think. I'm so excited!!!

Do you experience fatigue with them? They should be lightweight at only 7g. I myself have small ears so I hope they won't cause me problems when I'll get them. Hopefully this month they'll arrive at my local store.

Oh, that's a relief! Thank you. I can't wait to get my hands on FA19, very excited!

@baskingshark Great review! Is there any hiss when using FA19 with KA17?

I'm from Romania. I hope you will also send it to my local store cause I really wanna buy this as soon as possible. After all, I've been waiting for a year for this beauty:)

@FiiO I have samsung A52

@FiiO 1. Yes 2. Yes, but even a tiny movement, for example while scrolling to my phone connected to KA17, I have to stay still with my phone in my hand not make sudden movements with it or to move the KA17, otherwise the music stops playing. I tried with the KA5 cable which is basically the...

I noticed with the original cable that the sound will randomly stop, especially when I move the dongle a little bit. The trick with reverse cable swapping works, but temporary, so I decided to upgrade the cable. Today I received DD ddHiFi TC05 Type C to Type C Data Cable to try it with my KA17...

@FiiO Any news about a release date for FA19?

@CFA Chris Hi! What about Fathom vs Black Star. How do they compare?

So for example if you have a local mp3 file that's 320kbps, it will also show on the KA17 while playing 320kHz? Did I understand that right?

@cats4cans Thank you so much! Unfortunately they won't fit me, *sigh*. Looks like maybe Campfire Fathom will be next on my list. On their official site it says that shipping will begin on the 7th of this month. From their pictures it looks good and it says it's made from "aluminum body anodized...

Hi! I would like to pull the trigger on Black Star but I'd like to know how much does the shell weight. I have small ears and is very important to me to know the exact weight if anyone could be kind to tell me. I know it's stainless steel and that's what worries me. I had FiiO FD5 which was also...

@Ichos Thank you for explaining. I'm gonna wait for FA19, it should release this month, but I haven't given up on FX15 yet. If FiiO postpones the FA19 again, I will pull the trigger on FX15.

Less bass? Good, I'm not a basshead. In fact I sold my FD5 because the bass was too much for me and I bought JD7 after I've read @o0genesis0o review. More present mid-range? You mean like you said in your review, "voices are slightly prominent and the instruments play a supportive role without...

No, The JD7. I know, 100 USD vs 750 USD it's a big leap. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/fiio-jd7-dynamic-driver-iems.26182/reviews

If it doesn't fry and it works, it can get as hot as it wants. I don't mind :beyersmile:

@Ichos Hi! Really loved your review. I'm thinking of buying FX15 but I haven't made up my mind yet. You also reviewed the JD7 which I have and I loved it. I was wondering if FX15 will be a good upgrade for me in terms of tuning. I've read a ton of reviews and still can't decide If I would like...

This shouldn't happen. When you connect the power bank, KA17 will not draw power from the phone. Very weird indeed. @FiiO any ideas about this issue? On another note I went to the countryside and I can happily say that KA17 didn't have any cellular interference. Props to FiiO for making it...

Today I tried playing with different filters and same as you, I can't hear any difference between them so I left it on default filter "fast". Here some pictures comparing Fiio KA17 and KA5 in size. KA17 is a little bigger and bulky but not by much. Also got this powerbank from Anker. I don't...

So my second KA17 arrived today and I'm sad to report that the issue is still present on this one as well, BUT I've managed to fix it. After I sent back the first one I kept thinking why does it change the sample rate from 192k to 48k only when I type something or block/unlock the phone screen...
