My first High end headphones

I really did not know what to expect coming from Hifi speakers I just based my purchase on youtube reviews. The Pearl Acoustics guy sold it for me.

What I can say is this Its super duper Comfy, made me hear sounds impossible for Mid range speakes around $1000 below. I just say Orchestra music is divine with this headphones.

My 1 and only grunt that is why 4 stars only is I bought the upgraded cable and im using Fosi GR70 and its not compatible. I was like god damnit I have to order an adaptor?? For real? They sent an adaptor for 3.5mm but the upgraded 4.4mm noo i have to buy an adaptor for the GR70

Aside from this. 5 stars

Such a fun headphone

Fosi nailed it with the i5! Such a good headphone in all aspects! The build is really good. Despite being heavy, the weight distribution is balanced which makes it quite comfortable on my head. And the sound is very enjoyable! I love playing around with eq on these as they react very well! I totally recommend these headphones!

I currently have purchased a number of products from FosiDAC Q6, Preamp P4, , Amp K7, S2 Dongle DAC, and Fosi i5 headphones. Every product has met and exceeded my expectations and satisfied my very critical approach to all music needs. I can strongly recommend these products moving forward. Thank you Fosi!
