I have nothing bad to say about these IEMs. I've had many pairs of IEMs over the past 15 years, but nothing that even comes remotely close to these, both in terms of build and audio quality.
The sub bass is a true bassheads delight, not overpowering at all, but it's there and there's no lack of it. Some have complained that the mid bass is somewhat muddy and ever-present, but I'm using a BTR7 with built-in EQ and I'm able to tailor the sound specifically to my taste. I don't have the mid-bass issue that others have talked about.
Mids and highs are equally as good, even at ear bleed volumes, and they don't scream out at you as some other IEMs that I've used. No sibilance issues and although they are not studio monitors, they weren't really meant to be either. There is coloration of course, by design, and it works well for me. I can't imagine cranking these things up to the BTR7's capability, as you'd probably blow your eardrums long before you perceive any distortion.
They are extremely efficient and require very little power to drive them. I'm using the 4.4 mm connector on the BTR 7, so again, very little power required to drive these things. With the amount of headroom that you have on a DAC, you have phenomenal clarity right through it the entire range. I'm using the bass filters and the foam tips and I get a pretty good seal with more than ample bass!
Unlike most Bluetooth earbuds, they are not noise canceling other than the passive noise cancellation you obtain with a good fit and seal. These will definitely not ward off a jet engine if you're sitting on the wing, nowhere near as effective as a good Bluetooth earbud but, that's the only trade-off. There is no comparison to any Bluetooth earbud, Bose and Sony included. I have both of the latest and greatest in both brands, and they basically just sit on the shelf now, or I may use them for my TV, but now that I've been using these FH9's, I don't think I'll be going back to a Bluetooth earbud for everyday listening, anytime soon.
If you're on the fence about these, just buy them. I can't imagine anybody being disappointed in either the audio or build quality. They're somewhat on the heavier side, which is a big plus for me, because they feel extremely balanced in my ears, and that little bit of extra weight when I take them out of the case, just assures me of the build quality. The cable seems like it belongs in a $2,000 pair of IEMs as well. This setup is not only great bang for the buck, but it's probably great bang for three times that buck.
I've used some IEMs at double and triple the price, and they just don't sound like these. At this point I wouldn't even think of anything else.
Oh yeah, one more thing, all my listening has been done through YouTube music streaming via Bluetooth to my BTR 7. I have not yet signed up for Tidal, or any of the other lossless music services. I could only imagine how much better they would be. But even on Bluetooth from my phone, these things are insane.
