FiiO EH11 Retro On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones LDAC

Designed to merge 1980s-inspired looks with modern wireless performance, the EH11 offers a semi-open acoustic design, a 40mm long-stroke dynamic driver tuned for extended low-end, and LDAC support for near-lossless Bluetooth streaming. At about 92 g and with a low clamping force, they aim to stay comfortable through long listening sessions while providing practical features like dual-device connection, a built-in microphone, and a physical volume knob for tactile control.

How do the EH11 deliver better bass without sounding boomy?

The EH11 use a custom low-frequency enhanced layout, a 40mm long-stroke dynamic driver and a high-damping composite diaphragm to reduce resonance and extend bass response. The semi-open back balances a spacious presentation with enough privacy to keep the sound focused for typical urban and home use.

• Resonance frequency lowered to 60 Hz for tighter low end
• Bass extension down to 17 Hz for deep sub-bass presence
• High-damping composite diaphragm improves transient control
• Semi-open design preserves openness without excessive leakage

What wireless quality and connections can I expect from these headphones?

EH11 support LDAC encoding at up to 990 kbps for high-resolution Bluetooth audio, significantly improving wireless fidelity over SBC/AAC. They also allow simultaneous pairing with two devices, so you can keep a phone and a laptop connected and switch between them without re-pairing.

• LDAC high-resolution codec up to 990 kbps for clearer streaming
• Dual-device Bluetooth connection for seamless device switching
• Built-in mic for hands-free calls and in-game communication

How comfortable and durable are the EH11 for daily use?

What features does the app and gaming mode add to the listening experience?

These functions, combined with the onboard microphone, help improve situational awareness when gaming or communicating with teammates.
