The FiiO EH11 was officially announced during CIHE (China Guangzhou International Headphones Expo) 2025, a portable audio event held in Guangzhou, China, between December 13 and 14. The EH11 was showcased at the Chinese event “8th Ear Things Northeast Gathering,” and Hi-Fi Hub reported on it with photos of the on-ear Bluetooth headphones, accurately predicting the product’s price (around US$30).

Following the retro design adopted in other FiiO products such as the Echo Mini Digital Audio Player, the FiiO EH11 is a semi-open on-ear headphone with a design similar to the Koss Porta Pro and the recently launched Moondrop Old Fashioned. The key difference is its connection, which is wireless, using Bluetooth as the transmission protocol.

According to promotional material displayed at CIHE 2025, the EH11 supports the LDAC Bluetooth audio codec and uses Bluetooth version 5.4. In addition, it was shown that FiiO’s on-ear model supports app-based adjustments and allows music control by touching and rotating the ear cups, as demonstrated in the video below.

Despite its compact and lightweight design, FiiO claims that the EH11 can deliver up to 30 hours of continuous playback. Apparently, extended listening sessions with this Bluetooth on-ear headphone from the Chinese manufacturer are comfortable, considering the thickness of the ear pads, which are removable and will be available in multiple colors, as shown in the image below.
