4:18 I use this rotation trick even in their higher end models sharing similar shell. E.g.: FD5 and FD7.
It is not much rotation though.
Do you mean that the FD5/7 too do not fit easily into the ears? Thats rather unfortunate. This is the only Fiio iem i own, the rest like KZ,CCA,Shure,Sennheiser and Mee, they all fit naturally into my ears. Angling the stem downwards is just a weird design.😅
They do, but it took me a while to figure that out. The FD5/7 nozzles are angled inwards and downwards if you take the MMCX axis as a horizontal reference.
The same trick should be applied to the FD11, I think. But if one has to rotate it too much, then that's bizarre indeed.
By the way, the only reason for me not pulling the trigger on the FD11 was due to the lack of the MMCX interface.
@@FabioKaspernow i see where the problem lies, MMCX... Thats a pivotable connection, it was a pain when i first encountered it in Shure iems, but i guess it really complemented the downward stem of the fiio since there will be room for slight adjustment with the mmcx. They should've adopted a different design if they are utilizing this 2 pin. An update; i modified the C pin silver cable that came with the new KZ iems, moulded the earhook and fashioned the pins (removed the excess plastic) to fit the FD11, works very well and there is even a misbass boost. 😅
@@DrJKee the rotation over the MMCX axis helps indeed. I also have a couple of Shure IEMs by the way, and after our conversation, I checked my SE846 this morning and noticed it is also aligned in a similar fashion than than the FD5/7, i.e., inwards and downwards with respect to the MMCX axis as a horizontal plane. However, the axis I was trying to communicate is the one at 4:18.
If we use the Six-DOF of a Marine Vessel as convention, 4:18 is *pitch* rotation. MMCX axis would be *roll* rotation and there is a 3rd and vertical axis which is also important to fit and that is the *yaw* rotation. The latter helps to align the IEM parallel to our pinnas. So all of the 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) help to position the nozzle aligned with our ear canals.
And guess what, the FH9 has also the same alignment, but this one being the most comfortable fit in my collection, except the little Shures, of course. Sadly I don't have the FD11 to confirm this though.
Ohh gosh, why it is so difficult putting this into words? Drawing would be much easier. 😂 Anyway, it was a good discussion. Good luck! Cheers.
@@FabioKasperthanks for the info! Maybe i should get one of those FH and compare them one of these days. But the odd thing is that people complain about the fit of the FD11, not with the other models 🤔. Cheers
You're crazy 🤣 fits excellent.
😂 well congrats!
