Things to Know

  • No remote control or Bluetooth input.
  • Volume knob curve is non-linear; volume ramps up very quickly in the last 20% of the turn.

Reviews

The K7 has Fiio's characteristic neutral sound... Detail retrieval is excellent across the board, vocals come through with plenty of clarity, and you get a wide soundstage.

Android Central

Honestly, the FiiO K7 impresses me more than the K9 Pro ESS considering its no-frills pricing... the sound performance especially the amping department is much more convincing.
