FIIO FT1

The FIIO FT1 ear cups are crafted from meticulously chosen FAS-grade American black walnut, showcasing the wood’s distinctive smooth grain and fine texture, which highlight its inherent beauty. The high density of this solid wood effectively minimizes cavity resonance and dampens standing waves.

The diaphragm of the FIIO FT1 is primarily constructed from selectively sourced paper wood fibers, derived from 90-year-old Northern European spruce. Renowned for its clear sound and rich tonal quality, this spruce is a premium choice for musical instruments and fiber products. The mature spruce undergoes extensive processing—including soaking, cooking, and beating—to produce a specialized pulp. To ensure optimal acoustic resilience, a precise blend of carbon fiber is incorporated. The diaphragm is then baked and molded, achieving a final thickness of about 0.1mm, balancing weight and durability. To maximize the acoustic capabilities of the nanowood fibers, a lightweight PU material with high internal resistance is used for the suspension gasket, enhancing diaphragm compliance, boosting low-frequency response, and enriching vocal clarity, resulting in warm, lush sound.

As FIIO’s inaugural closed-back over-ear headphones, the FT1 is equipped with various features that elevate the closed-back listening experience. Its array of sound insulation components effectively reduces ambient noise by up to 26dB, filtering out external voices and environmental sounds. Whether you’re commuting, editing audio, working in an office, or gaming, the FT1 allows you to fully immerse yourself in a premium audio experience, making it a versatile and high-performing set of headphones.

The U-shaped sound damping tube, specifically engineered for the FIIO FT1, not only boosts passive noise reduction but also channels sound energy through a carefully calculated length and angle, increasing air viscosity and minimizing cavity resonance frequency. This design significantly enhances bass extension, allowing you to feel the powerful movement of air and the impact of drums and strings.

The FIIO FT1 is designed to deliver a high-quality HiFi experience across various usage scenarios. With a low impedance of 32Ω and an impressive acoustic sensitivity of 113dB/Vrms@1kHz (or 98dB/mW@1kHz), this design minimizes the need for substantial driving power, enabling effortless enjoyment of exceptional sound quality.

For enhanced portability, the FT1 features a headband with premium ball-bearing slides, boosting durability and precision. The headband offers a generous 12-notch adjustment range, accommodating different head sizes. The contact area is lined with soft suede leather, ensuring a comfortable fit.

Included with the FT1 is an elegant headphone storage bag, made with the same craftsmanship and materials found in prestigious French brands, combining style and functionality for added protection.

The new FT1 package comes with two headphone cables—one 3.5mm single-ended and one 4.4mm balanced—both crafted from oxygen-free copper-plated silver wire, featuring 392 wires of 24AWG thickness and extending 1.5 meters in length. This versatility allows for easy compatibility with a variety of audio devices, enabling you to switch cables seamlessly while enjoying transparent yet robust sound for an immersive listening experience.
