At US$100, this sits a little under the market median of US$110 and well below the 75th percentile at US$200, so it reads as a fair-to-good buy rather than a bargain-basement steal. It’s not cheap enough to call a true standout deal from price alone, but it is priced inside the normal used range and below the point where I’d start pushing back.
That makes sense for a FiiO portable DAC/amp setup like this: the Q5s is well-liked because it gives you a clean, flexible headphone-chain upgrade with modular amp options, and the included AM3E module is a meaningful plus if you want balanced drive and a bit more current on tap. If the battery is healthy and the unit comes with the right cables/accessories, this is the kind of used listing that makes sense for someone wanting a compact, capable step-up without paying new-item money.

Fiio, founded in 2007 in Guangzhou, China, emerged as a specialist in portable audio gear, initially crafting components like speakers for brands such as Meizu before launching its own lineup. The name blends "Fi" from hi-fi fidelity with "iO" symbolizing digital one's and zeros, evoking authentic sound and modern convenience, while its Chinese rendering "飞傲" conveys innovative vitality. From modest beginnings, the company expanded into a 15,000-square-meter industrial complex by 2022, solidifying its role as a prolific developer of music-centric electronics.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of portable and desktop audio categories, with flagship strengths in high-resolution digital audio players (DAPs), USB DACs, portable headphone amplifiers, and in-ear monitors. Its portfolio also encompasses cables, desktop amps, and select speakers, prioritizing versatile, high-performance solutions for on-the-go and home listening without venturing into turntables or large-scale hi-fi systems.
Fiio occupies a commanding mid-tier position in the global audiophile market, renowned for delivering premium sound quality at accessible prices that punch above their weight. Praised by enthusiasts for reliability and value, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking refined portable setups over luxury excess, backed by worldwide distribution and a track record of user-acclaimed innovations.
