FiiO FH5s IEM

So at low volume range writhing these dac these have low volume as expected? Interesting.

I'm listening to the FH5 either with the Earstudio Radsone DAC/Amp or my desktop Monolith dual DAC/dual THX amp. I wouldn't say I've maxed, or attempted to max, the volume, but I've given them plenty of juice and they handle it well. I suppose there are better (more expensive) IEMs you can find, but I don't expect to buy any after these. I'm convinced...when at home, I'm even giving them more time than my HD6XX, which are more comfortable.

I got these too because I saw them for $199 on Guitar Center. I was interested in FH5s but noticed them after I bought OG FH5 and some reviews on YouTube weren’t encouraging. Do you only listen to them using DAP or DAC with your smartphone on the go or do you use built-in headphone jack or simple Apple/Android DAC dongle? I fought connected using Apple lightening to 3.5mm DAC adapter they sound good but they are loud enough at 1 volume click and volume range does not scale well, at 2-3 clicks they are pretty loud.
