Description

This cutting-edge in-ear monitor features high-quality acoustic technology that handles each note, instrument and vocals with delicacy and care. With impactful bass and crystal-clear sound, enjoy audiophile-grade audio today.
For Outstanding Performances
Experience outstanding clarity with the FiR Audio Krypton 5. This IEM features high-end technical expertise that offers a textured presentation with incredible instrument separation. The machined aluminium shell with a sapphire glass faceplate encompasses 4 balanced armature drivers and a 10mm dynamic driver.
Deeper than the Ocean
Regular IEMs usually lack depth as they deliver only half the sound. In a natural open-ear environment, the sound is heard in two ways - air conduction and bone conduction. Air conduction is the sound you hear with your eardrums. Bone conduction is the conduction of sound through the bones in your head as it reaches the inner ear (cochlea). Hybrid conduction mixes both. Like the rest of the Frontier Series, the Krypton 5 comes in Universal-Fit and Custom-Fit models too.
Feel the Bass
The FiR Audio Krypton 5 features cutting-edge Kinetic Bass technology. An open and ported 10mm dynamic driver is optimised to face the IEM shell’s exterior allowing lower frequencies to be transmitted directly to the ear cartilage and surrounding area. These frequencies are converted to kinetic energy that reaches the inner ear via bone conduction. This enhances the bass with an immersive audio experience and off-the-charts bass extension.
Open Acoustics System for an Open Sound
Traditional IEMs use a sound tube with the drivers to carry the sound to the canal stem. However, this creates unwanted resonances and a closed-in, stuffy sound. The FiR Audio Krypton 5 is designed with an Open Acoustics System comprising Open Drivers, a Sound Reactor and Sound Reflector for an incredible audio experience.
Goodbye Tubes, Hello High-End Acoustics
By not using sound tubes, the Open Drivers allow sound to flow directly into the Sound Reactor and in turn the ear canal. This ensures a wider soundstage with clear, natural audio. The Sound Reactor chamber shapes the sound coming from the drivers using natural acoustics instead of the dampers and filters used in traditional IEMs. The Sound Reflector directs the high frequencies into the ear canal for extended, smooth and airy treble.
No Pressure, Just Music
An Air Transferring Open Module reduces the pressure that builds up in a sealed ear canal. This reduces fatigue for long listening sessions. The ATOM Venting Technology is instrumental in protecting your hearing while being easy to swap for various levels of bass and noise isolation.
Flexes a Rigid Build
The Krypton 5 uses cutting-edge proprietary Rigid technologies for better reliability and durability. The 2-pin connector has been tested for 1,000 seamless connections. It easily fits into the quadrant socket design on the 3D printed shell that’s 20% thicker than the industry average for better durability. A snap screen i.e. an acoustically transparent mesh screen prevents debris from entering the canal stem.
Customer Reviews
Excellent layering delivered with kinetic bass on a wide sound stage. 👌.
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the FiR Audio Krypton 5 IEMs. We're excited to see what you think of our bass and sound stage when you use them for a longer period of time.
I wanted to write this review after spending some valuable time with the KR5. I've spent the last eight months researching this product, and here's what I think about it:
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this product for the first time (after 100 hours of burn-in). The reaction is utterly silent and speechless. The impact, clarity, and—most importantly—the sensation of hearing the bass in your mind as well as in your ears cannot be adequately described using my vernacular. This is a sensation that can only be felt, not explained. I've heard a number of IEMs, but after hearing this, I don't believe I'll be able to appreciate the bass on any of them.
My collection includes practically all models from 64 Audio, Sennheiser, Campfire Audio, Moondrop, Final Audio, and the majority of the top-rated Chi-Fi IEMs. I doubt I'll ever appreciate the bass on any of them anymore.
At first, it may feel like there is too much bass, but the more time you spend on this product, the more you realise that this jewel shines in all aspect of hi-fidelity music.
Oh my goodness, I was shocked to experience a soundscape that rivalled many good quality open-back headphones. There are ver few IEMs that can trade blows with KR5. The soundstage is displayed in 3D rather than with a broad left-right separation. The same is true for layering and retrieving details.
Finally, I'd want to thank Pritam for recommending this product to me. My advice to my peers is that if he advises anything, buy it without hesitation; you won't be sorry, because he doesn't generally recommend a lot of items. As is customary, the package and shipping are both on time and flawless.
Thanks for the review! We're glad that you like FiR Audio Kr5.

Let customers speak for us
Its best wired headphone i have ever owned.
This demo unit is as perfect as the original one. The sound quality, the bass, everything is best.
For the price point of 245 rupees the quality is good.
The proliferation of the 4.4 mm (Pentaconn) connector on the output side of amps and DAPs has not been matched on the input side, except for few iFi products. The 4.4 to dual XLR is hence like heaven-sent. And TheAudioStore price is simply unbeatable.
I think earphones are just good. They are light, very minimal design, comfortable for long listening hours, sound quality is crystal clear, cable quality is also good, buttons don't work unless you have a quality converter or DAC. It has mic, what more you want. Overall it is a decent earphone.
It is my first IEM, it has good sound, first impression will be bad but as you will listen , it will be very pleasant. Use special one eartips
Friends, this is the best dac out there for the price and rightly said, it leaves no competition behind. Go for it without any second thought and this is no boasting but Pritam Ji is a good man and he will guide you in case you seek any advice.
I have been using the normal earbud style earphones earphones from ambrane, portronics etc which are priced at below 400Rs and decided to upgrade to the VE monk plus, the difference in sound clarity is easily differentiable. there is clear separation in the base, vocals etc. I guess once you use better earphones, you understand the difference in audio quality. I purchased the without mic version as i needed an earphone that works with My nokia express music 5310 as modern earphones with mic are not supported.
The HiBy R6 Pro II is an absolute triumph in terms of build and sound quality, but it wins at the cost of battery life (5.5-7.5 hours). If you're able to accommodate this design choice, I believe you'd be hard-pressed to find a better DAP for under $1000.
The R6 Pro II is built like a tank and looks stunning in purple. Album artwork pops on the crisp 2K display, and I've yet to encounter bugs with the rock-solid implementation of Android 12. Although it runs warm during operation (especially Class A mode), it's not been an issue thus far.
The AKM chipset offers musicality against a pitch-black background without compromising on neutrality. Its MSEB feature provides ample customization options and enables listeners to tweak the sound as per their preferences. The soundstage width is already excellent, and I hope the depth improves after burn-in to lend more of a holographic experience.
Works as intended!
Sony does not disappoint with the NW-A306. I like the customization possibilities and the android interface.
The shell is big bit somehow very comfortable fo extended use. The sound signature is about what I expected soo no complaints there. The only thing is I'm not a big fan of l connectors but that's a minor gripe.
This is my first IEM and my mind is blown by the audio quality of it and also the premium feel and built quality of the IEM which is made by Zr ceramic. It not only looks and feels good but also the clarity, passive noise cancellation, and comfort are good. Definitely a 10/10 and would suggest the people to buy it. The gift packaging it came into was also very thoughtful from the side of 'The audio store' people and was impressed by it.
