After a long time FIIO has no info on their latest product updates. Suddenly, the owner of FIIO, Mr. James made a post that surprised many audiophiles around the world.
During this time it turns out that Mr. James and the FIIO team have RnD a lot of products that will be released this year.
Please read this official article from Mr. James and the FIIO team.
2025 New Product Schedule (1) Preface--By Mr James.
Since our fiscal year starts on April 1st, releasing a new product schedule in March seems more reasonable.
let’s first go over some important notes—things that we have repeated many times before. However, these reminders are necessary. For those unfamiliar with our usual practices, this serves as an introduction. For senior fans, it is a good way to refresh and reinforce previous knowledge.
The new product schedule is for reference only, but can not be seen as a commitment.
There is an old saying that plans are made to be delayed. So, our new product schedule is for reference only, and delays are almost inevitable, though FIIO had relatively few product delays last year.
FIIO has decided to work toward becoming the "Decathlon of HiFi", which means our product categories will continue expanding. This is a good thing for consumers, as it allows us to cater to different scenarios, budgets, and styles.
For sure, some people will say FIIO is not focusing on R&D and is just releasing products randomly. That kind of criticism is inevitable, but we don’t bother explaining anymore. Instead, we will continue expanding our team and doing what we do best. As long as our products remain competitive, we are not afraid of criticism.
FIIO will continue expanding the product category in 2025
After 18 years of development, FIIO’s product lineup has become one of the most comprehensive both domestically and internationally. Our products cover portable players, desktop players, portable DAC/amps, portable Bluetooth DAC/amps, TWS earbuds, dynamic driver IEMs, balanced armature IEMs, hybrid IEMs, dynamic driver headphones, planar magnetic headphones, earbuds, speakers, deskstop DAC/amps, keyboards, USB dongles, accessories, as well as CD and cassette players.
This year, we will introduce tube amplifiers, radios, and floor-standing speakers. Additionally, we will begin exploring the gaming market, instead of being limited solely to HiFi audio.
Selective reduction of product categories
Since a company’s resources and focus are limited, we must balance expansion and optimization. At present, we have decided to halt new product development for the Q series and reduce investment in IEM development, considering market competition and declining demand.
The Q series portable DAC/amps have been heavily impacted by high-end dongles and Bluetooth DAC/amps. Since most users pair these devices with smartphones, large and heavy DAC/amps come with significant usability constraints. For indoor use, they cannot compete with desktop devices in terms of experience and sound quality.
HiFi vintage will be FIIO’s main theme in 2025!
Among HiFi brands, FIIO is likely the only company making vintage design a core product strategy. We not only create retro-style products but also integrate vintage aesthetics into modern devices.
In 2024, FIIO’s retro-style products have received positive consumer feedback, so we will continue to expand in this direction.
That’s all for the preface! Stay tuned for more updates! Thank you!
