DESCRIPTION
GIVE A NEW DEFINITION TO YOUR MUSIC WITH THE BRAND-NEW FIIO FD11
The FiiO FD11 was developed as a product in the "Bionic Conch" line that aims to outperform its price range in terms of both sound and aesthetics. The FD11's distinct sense of flow was achieved using high-end techniques and cutting-edge elements like the C-shaped acoustic flute taking the sound quality to a new level by producing a "truly cohesive unified" sound. It is appropriate for vocal-heavy, folk, and other musical genres, paying particular attention to vocals. The FD11 is also Hi-Res Audio certified, established by the Japan Audio Society (JAS) and Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).
NOTE: FiiO's "Little Conch" earphone series is only compatible with FiiO upgrade cables.
FEATURES A 10MM CARBON-BASED DYNAMIC DRIVER FOR AN EXHILARATING PERFORMANCE
The FiiO FD11 utilises a 10mm carbon-based dynamic driver that significantly enhances its audio performance. The carbon-based material has a tensile strength of nine times greater than steel and is ideal for the diaphragm because it is lighter than aluminium, beryllium, and other materials. Due to minimal breakup during driver movement, the carbon-based diaphragm produces a highly responsive and detailed driver response that can easily handle quick transients with little distortion.
SECOND-GENERATION DUAL ASYMMETRIC INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL MAGNETIC CIRCUIT
The FiiO FD11 uses N52 neodymium magnets in second-generation asymmetric internal and external magnetic circuit systems. The dual magnetic circuit design of the FD11 has been optimised using finite element simulation to produce a stronger magnetic field than a typical dynamic driver's single internal or external magnetic circuit system. As a result, the magnetic field density increases, enabling a stronger drive of the diaphragm for a more "robust" sound with improved transient response.
DUAL CAVITY DYNAMIC DRIVER DELIVERS EXCEPTIONAL BASS RESPONSE
The damping control system is installed in the inner and outer chambers of the dynamic driver's rear. This system precisely controls airflow, thus reducing distortion and allowing the diaphragm to move more freely without breaking up. As a result, the treble and bass are both more detailed, with the bass, in particular, becoming impactful and more resolving. The driver also reproduces low-frequency details faithfully and quickly.
C-SHAPED ACOUSTIC FLUTE FOR A REFINED PERFORMANCE
In addition to the FiiO FD11's novel conch-like shape, the C-shaped acoustic flute significantly improves sound quality, with a focus on the bass. The C-shaped acoustic flute improves the mid-bass and sub-bass quality by increasing the viscosity of the air that passes through the internals of the FD11 and lowering the resonance frequency.
PHENOMENAL TUNING THAT WILL MAKE YOU TAP YOUR FEET AT EVERY BEAT
The FiiO FD11s tuning is tailor-made for pure brilliance and delivers fine-tuned frequency response. Thanks to ongoing, scientifically driven efforts, the development team has taken special care to ensure that the dynamic driver produces a smooth, enjoyable sound. The FD11 only has a single dynamic driver, and the light carbon-based diaphragm makes it capable of handling bass frequencies. It also enables the driver to produce sound with specially optimised emphasis at specific frequencies like 14kHz and 18kHz. Less emphasis is placed on the bass frequencies but more on realistic-sounding vocals. This results in a sound that is more forward and has more depth.
EXQUISITE CRAFTSMANSHIP WITH LIQUID DIE-CAST ZINC ALLOY CONSTRUCTION
The "conch" served as FiiO's inspiration for the FD11 design. The FD11 is made of zinc alloy, giving it a distinctive flowing appearance. This zinc alloy is die-cast into its desired shape before being polished and electroplated. The FD11 is made of high-end materials and techniques, making it more durable and ready to withstand daily usage. And thanks to the die-cast shape, the internal surface of the FD11 is slightly uneven, just enough to significantly reduce sound wave convergence. This design aspect minimises standing wave generation resulting in a purer sound.
TRIANGULAR ERGONOMIC DESIGN FUSED WITH HIGH-PURITY CABLE
The FD11's "conch-like" shape is crafted to maximise the contact area between the earphone and the human ear, creating a triangular support structure that ensures it stays comfortably in your ear no matter what. The 0.78mm dual-pin detachable cable used by the FD11 makes it simple to upgrade your listening experience in the future. The connector is shaped like an elbow, specially curved to make FD11 more comfortable.

FAQs
Will these IEMs sound better than stock earphones?
In general, the FiiO FD11 will sound better than stock earphones that you may have used with your smartphone. These IEMs were built using high-quality drivers and materials and tuned to deliver a well-balanced sound signature. The FiiO FD11 IEMs provide a much more accurate and authentic reproduction of the original music recording and present a very high overall sound quality. Using them should change how you listen to your favourite artist and allow you to rediscover music.
Do these really sound better than Wireless Earbuds?
Wireless Earbuds are no doubt convenient. But they usually sound pretty ordinary. These IEMs, although wired, are designed and built with the goal of just delivering brilliant sound.
Keep in mind, wireless earphones, pack in batteries, Bluetooth receivers, electronic components and speakers that add to their cost and can end up at several times the price of an equivalent sounding wired earphone. And so, for the same budget, wireless earbuds can sound pretty ordinary compared to wired IEMs.
If sound quality is a priority over convenience, wired IEMs come out ahead in terms of price, and significantly in terms of sonic performance. Wired IEMs have always been the audiophile’s top pick.
How will this IEM make my music sound any better?
Good sound should be able to help you imagine the artist performing right in front of you in the same room. Artists take a phenomenal amount of time and effort to record music at the finest studios around the world to capture every detail in the music. The headphones’ job is to be able to reproduce all the details and take you back to the studio.
The FiiO FD11 IEMs will help you rediscover your music. You should hear clear, revealing and enriching details in the music that you may not have noticed before. It's tuned to reproduce all elements in the soundtrack naturally without placing an excessive amount of emphasis on any particular area. The sound is powerful and revealing, with the ideal balance of lows, mids, and highs between the instruments and vocals.
How do I use these IEMs if my phone doesn't have a 3.5mm output?
If your phone doesn't have a 3.5mm output, you can use a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter for android phones or a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter for Apple iPhones to connect the FiiO FD11 IEMs.
Alternatively, the best-sounding option is to go for a USB Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) to connect your IEMs. A good DAC makes a considerable difference to the overall sound of your set up and these DACs are highly capable and outperform inexpensive adapters. If you are looking for the best presentation of your music then a dedicated USB DAC is the way to go.
Do I really need a Digital To Analog Converter (DAC) or Amplifier to use these?
You don't necessarily need a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) or Amplifiers to use the FiiO FD11 IEMs, as they can be plugged directly into the 3.5mm output of your smartphones, tablets or laptops. They usually have enough power to drive these Earphones. However, using a dedicated DAC can improve the overall sound quality and provide a more detailed reproduction, especially if you are listening to Lossless or Hi-Res music.
Why do these IEMs have detachable cables?
IEMs don’t usually get damaged. The cables can get damaged with usage. So it’s easy to replace them if they are conveniently detachable.
Detachable cables allow you to swap out different kinds of cables. These can feature materials that make a difference to the sound signature or different termination types like 2.5mm or 4.4mm, which are sometimes needed to plug into various devices.
Balanced Cables are upgrade cables that make a significant difference to the sound quality when used with a device featuring a balanced output, usually a 2.5mm or 4.4mm output. Swapping the cables for a Balanced cable allows you to take advantage of the balanced output on your DAC or Player and can improve the bass, soundstage and resolution of your IEM.
