Same generation

FiiO FX17 (2026) against Campfire Audio Grand Luna - Planar Hybrid IEM (2025). These are the same generation of hardware - nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price.
