The FH7 is FiiO's current flagship IEM, a five-driver hybrid combining the best of the various technologies we’ve seen in their previous IEMs. Cost notwithstanding, can it seriously challenge more established players in the game?
IMR Acoustics is a UK-based one-man IEM making machine, and the Zenith is the second coming of its original R1 open-ported, tuneable IEM concept. Can the new and updated Zenith polish the rough edges off the original?
