Three years ago, the FH9 was launched, as FIIO’s first high-end flagship hybrid earphone. With its energetic dynamics, wide soundstage, and pleasant sound quality, it was enthusiastically received by HiFi users worldwide upon release. It gradually became known among audiophiles as a great example of “balanced earphones,” far exceeding our expectations in popularity. It is still a competitive set of earphones even in today’s market.
The new FIIO FH19 from FIIO is a significant upgrade, incorporating much user feedback. It retains the signature sound and flagship-grade craftsmanship of the FH9, and is also co-developed with Tokyo Onkyo Ltd. in Japan and Knowles in the USA. It features a truly high-end acoustic design, with richer and fuller midrange and more robust yet flexible bass. Additionally, the fit has been redesigned and optimized based on the characteristics of the human ear, allowing you to experience truly flagship-level comfort.
The new FIIO FH19 features a flagship-worthy dual dynamic and six-balanced armature driver configuration. Handling the bass is an all-new push-pull dual dynamic driver unit co-developed with Tokyo Onkyo Ltd. in Japan. This driver features greatly enhanced low-frequency extension, cohesion, and speed. The mid-to-high frequencies are handled by specially customized Knowles-enhanced midrange balanced armature drivers, which achieve greater sound energy density for rich and delicate vocals that are wonderfully musical without sacrificing detail.
FIIO, in collaboration with Tokyo Onkyo Co. Ltd., has developed a push-pull dual dynamic driver unit* for the FH19, based on push-pull technology used in high-end audio. This technology employs two 13.7mm high-magnetic dynamic drivers with PU+DLC composite diaphragms, arranged in an opposing configuration. When the diaphragms move back and forth, the overall movement direction of the two dynamic drivers remains consistent, ensuring phase consistency. This effectively doubles the driving force, and the diaphragms can provide air damping to each other. This makes the dynamic drivers exhibit more stable movement and fully suppress any residual sound after the audio signal stops.
The FIIO FH19 uses six Knowles balanced armature drivers as its mid and high-frequency sound units. To achieve even higher levels of vocal sound quality, FIIO collaborated with Knowles to create a custom mid-frequency-enhanced balanced armature driver. By adding acoustic vents to the rear cavity of the driver, the mid-frequency driver gains more sound energy compared to typical mid-frequency drivers. This further unlocks the inherent advantages of the mid-frequency driver, resulting in rich and mellow vocals that are hauntingly realistic, as if the singer was right next to you.
The semi-open design has been highly praised in the FIIO FH9, FH7S, FH5S, and FD5. In the FH19, this proven semi-open design is once again utilized and has been specially tuned to combine with FIIO’s front and rear cavity balanced pressure relief technology – resulting in and more natural and relaxed sound, with a wide soundstage. This design efficiently balances the internal air pressure, eliminating the feeling of pressure on the eardrum which also helps to protect your hearing. Enjoy listening for long periods without fatigue.
The FIIO FH19 features build quality worthy of a flagship, to which the titanium midframe contributes. Its luxurious feel and uniquely charming titanium colour give off a high-end appearance. Being the part of the earphone that is most frequently touched, the midframe’s pure titanium metal’s rigidity and corrosion resistance thoroughly protect the rest of the earphone’s shell, making it resistant to everyday wear and tear, truly embodying the essence of a flagship product.
The FIIO FH19 employs 7000 series aluminium*, which ensures a durable and strong shell while reducing the weight of the earphones. Thanks to this aluminium, the FH19 still provides a comfortable wearing experience even with more drivers and a more complex acoustic design.
*7000 series aluminium alloy is widely used in aircraft fuselages, wings, and other important components. It has high strength, rigidity, and corrosion resistance. It is also known as 7000 series aerospace aluminium.
The FH19 features a variety of different drivers and acoustic design principles. Scientifically tuning each part so that they work in a harmonious whole is the essence of high-level tuning. To achieve this, the FIIO development team has specially designed a “mid-frequency notch filter” for the FH19 hybrid
Crafted with meticulous attention to sound quality, the flagship FH19 features the same high-precision Japanese film crossover capacitors as the FA19 that exhibit exceptional accuracy in phase alignment. While conventional resistor-based crossover components typically have an accuracy error of around 1%, the FH19 achieves an impressively low error rate of 0.1%. Furthermore, compared to ordinary ceramic capacitors, the FH19 not only achieves more precise crossover points but also effectively enhances high-frequency resolution and overall results in a more detailed sound.
“While the basic design is derived from the FH9, the FH19 builds upon its predecessor and surpasses it by updating the low-frequency and mid-frequency drivers and implementing them into a more precisely controlled four-way crossover design. In the low frequencies, custom push-pull dual-dynamic driver units are employed, and a ‘turbine low-frequency boost technology’ is used for physical low-pass filtering for relaxed yet natural bass. For the mid-frequencies, FH19 introduces an innovative ‘3+1 semi-open’ acoustic layout of balanced armatures. This is complemented by a newly designed resonant cavity, allowing for two separately managed mid-frequency zones that result in richer and more emotionally engaging mids. For the high frequencies, the FH19 retains the coaxial design with an acoustic guide while also incorporating Rubycon audiophile-grade film capacitors. This combination allows for high resolution while maintaining excellent treble tone.”
Inspired by turbochargers found in supercars, the FIIO development team meticulously created the S.Turbo patented acoustic design. This design ingeniously leverages sound wave guidance properties, enhancing bass performance through a turbine-shaped structure. The result is deep and vibrant bass. Additionally, the design cleverly filters out excess mid-to-high frequencies from the dynamic driver, ensuring smooth transitions between the low and mid-high frequencies. The result is a more powerful and robust sound.
The FH19, befitting its flagship IEM status, comes with three pairs of swappable audio filters. Each filter has different internal damping and mesh density, allowing you to adjust the sound according to your preference:
The FH19 comes standard with a high-purity pure silver cable. Each of the 8 strands consists of 28 wires totaling 224 wires. Each wire is insulated with enamel, and the cable is twisted in Litz braids. The outer sheath is made from imported transparent eco-friendly TPU, enhancing its transparent appearance. Additionally, this material effectively prevents the cable from yellowing over extended use and becoming stiff in low-temperature environments.
Based on user feedback and numerous optimizations, the angle between the ear nozzle and the wearing surface along the Y-axis is precisely 10° while the length of the ear nozzle is unchanged. This adjustment allows the earphones to fit more accurately into the ear canal, significantly improving both wearing comfort and stability.
The FH19 features an entirely new rear cavity design that is more three-dimensional Numerous tests resulted in many ergonomic optimizations, such as ear-friendly protrusions with a thickness of approximately 1,4mm that ensure a snug and stable fit by minimizing any unwanted movement.
The brand-new FH19 rear cavity design features a slight reduction -about 1mm in thickness in the area that corresponds to the fold of the human ear. This structural design significantly reduces the sensation of pressure and compression on the ear caused by the earphones. When combined with excellent shell materials, it allows the FH19 to disappear in your ears while delivering flagship sound.
