FiiO EH11: Retro Looks, Modern Sound

FiiO introduces the EH11 Retro Bluetooth Mini Headphones, a device that marries vintage styling with modern functionality. Inspired by late 1980s on-ear designs, these headphones feature compact wooden earcups with transparent elements showcasing internal components. The driver housings ingeniously double as control knobs for volume adjustment and track skipping, aiming for a portable experience reminiscent of classic hi-fi gear.

The EH11 are exceptionally lightweight at just 92 grams, making them ideal for on-the-go listening. Underneath the retro exterior, they house a 40mm long-throw dynamic driver with a high-damping composite diaphragm for extended bass response down to 17Hz. A semi-open acoustic design with ventilation ports aims to mitigate the typical 'closed-in' feel of on-ear headphones.

Connectivity is handled via LDAC Bluetooth, supporting audio up to 990 kbps with compatible devices. The integrated battery provides an impressive 30 hours of playback on a single charge, fully recharging in approximately 90 minutes. Integration with the FiiO Control App unlocks further customization, including genre-specific sound profiles, EQ settings, low-latency gaming modes, and firmware updates.
