The FiiO JF11 earbuds do not sit inside the ear canal, eliminating the irritation and earwax build-up of in-ear earbuds. The low-profile design allows users to comfortably sleep with them.

FiiO has launched the JadeAudio JF11 wired earbuds with large drivers and acoustic pipes for extended bass reproduction, low distortion, and smooth audio response.

In-ear earbuds sit inside the ear canal, and the tips help seal and block external noise, but they are often uncomfortable to wear due to the pressure of the tips and pick up earwax. Conventional earbuds that sit outside the ear canal avoid these issues.

The JadeAudio earbuds utilize large 14.2 mm dynamic drivers versus other earbuds that typically use 6 to 10 mm drivers. The longer stroke of the JF11 driver aids in the reproduction of powerful bass, which is further enhanced as the sound passes through the U-shaped acoustic pipe. The concept comes from earbuds of decades past, such as the AIWA HP-V14 from the 1990s.

The earbuds come in black and white to match other FiiO products, such as the CP13 portable cassette player sold here on Amazon. The JF11 with microphone and 3-button, in-line control can be ordered for $7.99, and the JF11 without microphone can be ordered for $6.99 from the FiiO store on Aliexpress. The earbuds ship with three sets of foam covers for a comfortable, secure fit.

FiiO states the JF11 weighs 0.51 oz. (14.5 g), but does not specify which version. Details on the frequency response and cord length are not provided. The wired cord with 3.5 mm headphone jack eliminates the environmental waste resulting from dead wireless earbud batteries.

JadeAudio U-Shaped Pipe Extended Bass Earbuds JF11 Is Officially Released!

14.2mm large dynamic driver

Inside the JadeAudio JF11 is a large 14.2mm dynamic driver with a long-stroke design. This driver allows for a lower resonance frequency, resulting in deeper and more dynamic bass. It provides a solid acoustic foundation for high sound quality and low distortion wrapped in a large soundstage.

Polyester fiber polymer composite diaphragm

The JadeAudio JF11 uses a polyester fiber polymer composite diaphragm for its dynamic driver. This diaphragm is not only lightweight, highly rigid, and low-distortion but is also moderately damped and robust. Thanks to this diaphragm and meticulous tuning by engineers, the JF11 presents a clear and soft sound. Experience sweet, lush vocals with a charming vintage flavor.

U-shaped acoustic pipes for extended bass

In the long history of earbuds, the “U-shaped acoustic pipes for extended bass” is a noteworthy design in terms of both the sound quality produced and its distinctive aesthetics. Such a design was originally featured in the AIWA HP-V14 earbuds from Japan, which became popular worldwide and highly regarded by audiophiles.

The JadeAudio JF11 pays tribute to this classic by also adopting the U-shaped acoustic pipe design and optimizing it for the JF11’s specific design: The pipe’s diameter, length, and angle were chosen to increase the viscosity of air flow within the tube resulting in enhanced sound damping – which in turn lowers the cavity resonance frequency, and thus further improving bass extension.

14.5g weight

The JF11 is a fully integrated design that does not require you to replace the cable. This makes it not only easy to store, but also allows you to easily carry it wherever you go about your days. And with a weight of only 14.5g, the JF11 places zero burden on you when carrying it around.

Design that you can sleep with

The JF11 features a design that allows you to sleep on your side while wearing it. FIIO engineers have minimized the size of the earbuds as much as possible while still ensuring great sound quality, allowing them to not protrude from the ear when worn.

Naturally stylish, two color choices

Choose between two stylish colors - black gold and platinum colors – to get the JadeAudio JF11 to perfectly match your style.

The JF11 comes with both Mic and No Mic versions, of which the Mic version offers at 7.99 USD, and the No Mic version at 4.99 USD. Come to the FiiO Official Store on AliExpress to take it home right away by clicking links below:
