to five optimized drivers inside and a construction based on aluminum materials for long durability.\u00a0Its main highlight is its interest in even the smallest details of operation and comfort of

with a wide variety of accessories<\/p>\n<p>It is not necessary to investigate too much why this model is in the \u201cPremium\u201d range of the market, because just holding it in your hands for the first time you can appreciate its quality construction that is based on a space-grade aluminum and magnesium alloy.\u00a0The manufacturer manages to shape it through a five-axis CNC technology, while its casing is subjected to 21 processes with a total of 3,873 cuts\u00a0before being sandblasted and polished by hand.<\/p>\n<p>As far as their cables are concerned, they\u00a0use slightly expanded MMCX-type connectors that are differentiated through the use of different colors\u00a0, a blue one referring to the left side and a red one for the right side, thus avoiding any confusion.\u00a0To ensure long life, it is actually made up of 152 silver wires organized through eight strands.<\/p>\n<p>Finally,\u00a0to achieve maximum comfort, up to eight \u201cSpinFit\u201d cushions have been added that allow finding the perfect fit\u00a0according to the particularities of each ear, without neglecting an enhancement of low and medium frequencies.<\/p>\n<h3>High definition sound

for this type of model,\u00a0the Hi-Fi certification has been achieved, that is, high resolution, granted by the Japan Audio Society as proof of its great reproduction results\u00a0.\u00a0Likewise, each user is free to switch between three pairs of physical filters that have been carefully designed to adjust the sound according to each person&#8217;s preferences (red for dynamic bass emphasis, black for balanced audio and green for treble emphasis). or sound regulation).<\/p>\n<p>Internally,\u00a0the FiiO FH7 is made up of four Knowles-optimized balanced armature drivers\u00a0that are combined with a beryllium dynamic driver to correctly cover the entire acoustic frequency spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of high frequencies, the Knowles SWFK-31736 driver comes into action, while for the medium options it is based on the classic 30017 with a modification to achieve more full-bodied details, softer voices and a wider soundstage.\u00a0Finally,\u00a0for low frequencies is a 13.6mm beryllium composite dynamic driver that is lightweight yet extremely rigid for deep bass.<\/p>\n<p>In official figures,\u00a0this model is capable of reaching an input power level of 100mW,\u00a0around a sensitivity of 111db\/mW, as well as moving in a frequency that goes from 5 Hz to 40 kHz and an impedance of 16 \u03a9\uff08 @1kHz).<\/p>\n<h2>Performance-Inspired

technology called S.TURBO V.2.0 that includes longer inner tubes and greater acoustic optimization\u00a0(inspired by turbines) to help achieve more robust low levels.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise,\u00a0through the optimization of the cushioning and its internal structure\u00a0, the air pressure that is generated in the front and rear of the FiiO FH7 is much more balanced, thus managing to\u00a0eliminate the
