Fiio EH11 Retro Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones

The FiiO EH11 channels the charm of 1980s mini on-ear headphones, complete with transparent housings that show off the internals and little wooden earcup covers that double as control knobs, then packs in thoroughly modern wireless tech: Bluetooth 6.0, LDAC, dual-device connection, and app-based EQ.

Type and Technology

Inside each earcup is a 40mm long-throw dynamic driver with a high-damping composite diaphragm that pushes the resonant frequency down to about 60Hz for surprisingly capable bass from a tiny frame. The semi-open construction uses ventilation ports and damping filters to keep the presentation breathable. Bluetooth supports LDAC, AAC, and SBC codecs, connects to two devices at once, and the FiiO Control app adds EQ profiles, codec selection, and a low-latency gaming mode.

Sound Character

The EH11 sounds warm and easygoing, with a clean mid-bass punch, smooth vocals, and comfort-tuned treble that stays fatigue free. The semi-open design gives it a more spacious, less boxed-in feel than typical sealed budget wireless headphones, though it trades away some isolation in return.

Build and Comfort

At about 92g with a gentle clamping force, the EH11 practically disappears on your head. The wooden knobs handle volume and track control with satisfying physical feedback, a discreet button covers power, pairing, calls, and voice assistant, and two sets of foam pads are included. Battery life runs about 30 hours with roughly 2 hours to recharge over USB-C.
