ROSESELSA CJ20 vs FiiO FD15

Last updated: October 17, 2026

Short answer: the ROSESELSA CJ20. It ranks #679 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $169; the FiiO FD15 ranks #720, rated 3.6/5, at $164.99. Close enough in price that the sound-quality gap is the deciding factor.

ROSESELSA CJ20 vs FiiO FD15

Why pick the ROSESELSA CJ20: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 70 against the Harman target. The tradeoff: An uneven response, 2.2 dB standard deviation from target.

What the FiiO FD15 does well: A large 13.8mm dynamic driver with 32 ohm impedance and 112 dB/mW sensitivity makes it easy to drive loud from a phone. The catch: Presence sits 5.8 dB below target with an 8.4 dB dip at 6.5 kHz, so vocals lose clarity and cymbals sound dull, and treble from 6 to 10 kHz is down 4.1 dB as well.

Buy the ROSESELSA CJ20. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $4.01 saving on the FiiO FD15 is not enough to make up the difference.

Frequency Response Compared

Both headphones’ measurements overlaid on the Harman target. Above the target sounds louder in that range, below it quieter. Each curve is the median of several independent measurements, shifted so its 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB, so only the tuning is compared.
