FiiO FW3 Review

The FW3 features a sleek and modern design that aligns with FiiO’s universal IEM design style. It shares its design with its bigger sibling, FW5, but comes in a different finish. Available in two colors, Moonlight White and Interstellar Gray, both options feature chrome mesh accents inside the faceplate, giving the earphones a unique look. FiiO opted for plastic mesh over metal mesh to keep the earphones as lightweight as possible.

The charging case, which matches the earphones in color, is compact and sturdy, featuring a magnetic closure that securely holds the earphones. Design-wise, it closely resembles the FW5’s case but has slight differences, particularly around the top cover. While the FW5’s case has more rounded corners on its top cover, the FW3’s is edgier and features slightly more aggressive top edges. The interior of the case, as well as the battery and charging PCBs, are identical between the two models. Each earphone shell contains a 65mAh battery, and the charging case houses a 380mAh battery. Despite the lesser build quality compared to metal units, the case feels adequately durable and quite light, even with the earphones inside it. The total weight of the FW3, including the charging case, is 57 grams, and each earphone weighs just 6 grams.
