It uses the same second-generation 13.6mm DLC dynamic driver as the FH9, with four Knowles balanced armatures (custom DFK units for the mids, SWFK-31736 units for the treble), FiiO’s second-generation semi-open design, a notch filter against sibilance and the patented S.Turbo bass tube. Three tuning filters, FiiO’s HS18 ear tips and a 152-wire silver-plated cable with swappable 3.5mm and 4.4mm plugs are included. It won a VGP 2024 Summer award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/fiio-fh7s-hybrid-in-ear-monitors-photo-pair.jpg?v=1791324287\" alt=\"FiiO FH7s hybrid in-ear monitors\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne dynamic driver, four Knowles armatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBass\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiiO’s second-generation 13.6mm DLC dynamic driver, as in the FH9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMids\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDFK balanced armatures customised by FiiO and Knowles, for exquisite vocals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTreble\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnowles SWFK-31736 balanced armatures, for airy, highly resolving highs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/fiio-fh7s-hybrid-in-ear-monitors-photo-drivers.jpg?v=1791324291\" alt=\"The DLC dynamic driver and Knowles balanced armatures inside the FiiO FH7s\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe FH9’s 13.6mm DLC driver\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe large 13.6mm diaphragm produces more energy for better-extended bass, robust yet natural.
