FiiO has updated its wallet-friendly set of well-tuned IEMs to appeal to entry-level music lovers worldwide. The new JD3 Black Edition goes for only $20 and comes with a more balanced tonality from an updated 9.2 mm dynamic driver paired with a semi-open acoustic chamber and an all-aluminium unibody construction for improved build quality. You even get an integrated microphone with line controls for the great price!

Not my cup of tea but at 20 bucks this is a good splurge and no need to worry about damaging it.
Yeah, it's a decent starter kit for people- especially with the in-line mic and the provided Type-C to 3.5 mm TRRS dongle too.

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
It's a discounted not half bad dongle with a pair of decent IEMs thrown in for free. That's the verdict.
hey! ...

that's true ... 20$ for a basic dongle with free IEMs tossed asside ... neat deal
although it's priced higher than Apple USB-C/Lightning dongles tho ... 'tis is a shame! (for Apple to not price that 40ish+$ ... come on Apple, you're the one who are known for obnoxious pricing!) but the IEMs bundled with make up for it

I'd have wanted a black dongle that white just stinks like apple crap. Fuck monoprice sells you one that matches the apple specs (24/96) with solid alu connectors on both sides and a braided cable for 15 bucks. Go back to the table Fiio you can ditch the braided cable but since these are metal IEMs do the dongle right, in a matching black, come back and you have a winner.
