The FiiO FA19 is an all-balanced-armature in-ear monitor with a detachable MMCX cable and both 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm plugs in the box. Listeners who prize armature speed and separation over a dynamic driver's low-end character will find it suited to detail-focused and monitoring-style listening.
Who the FiiO FA19 is for
Detail-focused listening: All-BA designs are chosen for the speed and separation armatures are known for, which also suits monitoring-style use.
Single-ended and balanced sources: Both 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm plugs ship with it, so you are covered either way without buying another cable.
4.4 mm DAP or dongle owners: Pair it with a DAP or dongle that has a 4.4 mm output to use the balanced termination it comes with.
Skip it if: you want a dynamic driver's low-end character; the FA19 is an all-armature design built around speed and separation.

FiiO FA19 vs similar options
vs Shanling AE10: Shanling's flagship all-armature set runs 10 balanced armatures per side on a 0.78 mm 2-pin connector; pick the FA19 if you would rather stay on MMCX, with 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm plugs supplied.
vs FiiO FH19: FiiO's eight-driver hybrid adds two dynamic drivers to six balanced armatures; choose the FA19 for the speed and separation of an all-armature design.
vs Shanling ME900: A 2DD+6BA hybrid on MMCX with 2.5, 3.5 and 4.4 mm plugs in the box; pick it for dynamic-driver low end and a 2.5 mm option, or the FA19 for an all-BA design.
