fiio
FiiO (FiiO Electronics Technology Company, Ltd.) is a Chinese consumer-electronics manufacturer headquartered in Guangzhou, founded in 2007. The company designs and markets portable and desktop audio equipment, including digital audio players (DAPs), headphone amplifiers and DACs, Bluetooth DAC/amps, and in-ear monitors (IEMs).
FiiO first gained notice for low-cost portable amplifiers and USB DAC/amps in its “E-series”, notably the E17 “Alpen” (2011–12). From 2013 it expanded into DAPs with the X-series (X3, X5, and the modular Android-based X7), helping to popularise affordable hi-resolution players; later Android M-series players such as the M11 broadened codec support and introduced dual balanced outputs.
Alongside players, FiiO diversified into earphones (e.g. the F9 and subsequent FH/FA lines) and portable Bluetooth DAC/amps; the BTR5 (2019) and BTR7 received widespread coverage as compact devices for driving wired headphones over wireless links. The company also operates the sub-brands Jade Audio and Snowsky.
