Large Dynamic Driver

The FiiO FT1 features a newly developed second-generation 60mm large dynamic driver, meticulously designed for FiiO's first closed-back headphone. Its larger-than-average driver size enhances energy conversion efficiency and provides a solid foundation for potent bass. Additionally, the increased driver size results in low low-frequency resonance points, allowing for deeper bass, dynamic sound, and an overall authoritative sound.

Nanowood Fiber Composite Diaphragm

The FiiO's diaphragm primarily consists of carefully selected wood fibers, based on 90-year-old spruce wood from Northern Europe. This wood is a top-grade raw material for musical instruments and fiber products, known for its clear sound and natural tone. Spruce wood undergoes a series of processes, including soaking, cooking, and beating, to create specific wood pulp. To meet acoustic toughness requirements, a precise proportion of carbon fiber material is added.

To fully unleash the acoustic performance of the nanowood fibers, light PU material with high internal resistance is utilized for the suspension gasket, improving diaphragm compliance. This process strengthens the density of the vocals from the source of the sound, resulting in warm, lush vocals.

Art of Sound

The FiiO FT1, in alignment with its overall acoustic design and high-level listening experience, employs a nanowood fiber composite diaphragm. It exhibits excellent high-frequency extension and transient response, resulting in clean, precise sound with clear imaging tone, and providing unique, sweet, high-density mid-frequency vocals. This driver works in harmony with the FT1's other acoustic design elements for a specifically-tuned frequency response for a pure and pleasant sonic experience.

Innovative W-Shaped Suspension Gasket

As the first closed-back over-ear headphones from FiiO, FT1 pioneers a new generation of in-house acoustic technology, the W-shaped suspension gasket. The 25mm diameter voice coil is larger compared to similar models and has been specifically tuned. Compared to typical similarly sized diaphragms, the W-shaped diaphragm achieves a 25.8% increase in effective vibrating area, allowing it to store more energy reserves.

The FT1's diaphragm, with a hard dome and compliant suspension gasket, allows the 25mm large diameter voice coil to directly drive the stiffer dome region. This setup minimizes vibration losses between different materials and reduces distortion caused by driver breakup, allowing the FT1 to deliver refined sound.

Japanese CCAW Voice Coil

To ensure robust and high-quality sound, the FiiO FT1 utilizes a specially imported Japanese ultra-fine CCAW (Copper-Clad Aluminum Wire) voice coil with a diameter of up to 25mm. A longer voice coil copper wire can directly enhance transducer efficiency and drive capacity, improving transient response and resulting in purer sound.

Each individual wire core in the CCAW coil has a diameter of approximately 0.035mm, as thin as a hair. Additionally, the voice coil frame employs lightweight Caption, which helps to significantly reduce the overall diaphragm mass. The result is enhanced response speed and minimized reverberation.

Additional Features

Up to -26dB of Sound Isolation
The FT1 incorporates a series of sound insulation components to effectively reduce ambient noise, including external voices and environmental sounds by up to -26 dB. Whether you are commuting, editing recordings, working in an office or gaming, the FT1 allows you to immerse yourself in a high-fidelity audio work.

U-Shaped Sound Damping Tube
The U-shaped sound damping tube enhances passive noise attenuation, but also allows sound energy to pass through a specific length and angle of the flute, increasing air viscosity and reducing cavity resonance frequency. This further enhances bass extension. You'll distinctly feel the air movement and the focused power of drums and strings.

Conical Baffle Plate
FiiO's development team designed a conical baffle plate based on the characteristics of the FT1 dynamic drivers. This device allows the entire driver to be positioned parallel to the human ear, breaking up sound convergence and avoiding standing waves. As a result, there is minimal high-frequency attenuation for true HiFi audio quality.

High-Sensitivity Design
The FT1 features a low impedance design of 32Ω and boast acoustic sensitivity metrics of 113dB/Vrms@1kHz. This significantly reduces the demand for driving power, allowing you to effortlessly enjoy excellent sound quality.

Ergonomic, Lightweight Headband
The 3-axis headband allows for free rotation at multiple angles. This design accommodates various head sizes and ensures a snug fit for enhanced comfort.

High-Quality Silver-Plated Copper Cables
The FT1 comes with two headphone cables terminated in 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced plugs. Both cables are made using a silver-plated oxygen-free copper base, with 392 wires and 24AWG thickness.

Quick Start Guide

Thank you for my Fiio FT1

The headphones are great, but everybody knows that from the audiophiles YouTube.
What is more important the store is great! Fast delivery with hand written appreciation and skittles! Thank you guys, local stores are so good!

Soft treble, but the overall package is great!

First: Despite the hype online, these probably are not going to be the best sounding headphones you've ever heard. The bass is the best that I've had in a headphone. But the treble is missing its edge.

That said ... For $165, these are great. They sound good, in spite of the soft treble. They're easy to use for long periods without fatigue. They're easy to drive to decent levels even from my phone with a dongle DAC. They're comfortable. They look great. They fit all the way around my ears, blocking sound pretty well in both directions, making them suitable for the office. The cables, adapter, and carrying case appear to be nice quality.

For sound quality, I wouldn't give them more than a 4. But accounting for all of the other factors, I have to rate them a 5 overall. I'm not willing to pay $400 or $500 to get something that sounds better. And I didn't find anything at $300 or less that I liked better overall. Sure, there are alternatives with much better treble, but nothing that I found with bass like this. The treble issue at least can be helped with some EQ.

So I'm pretty happy with them.

I bought them online. The website is well done. And order fulfillment was super quick as was delivery. Very satisfied overall.

One of the best deals in hi-fi

I watched & read multiple reviews offering high praise for these headphones before purchasing. They are not wrong or exaggerating. Once in your hand and then on your head, it’s hard to believe that headphones this good can be purchased for such a low price. Other manufacturers have some explaining to do.
I can’t report a single negative & someone would have to extremely critical to do so. The build quality, sound & comfort far exceed the asking price. Fiio would not need to be making any apologies even if the price was $100 or $150 more. I can’t get them off of my head and listen to them for several hours straight with no fatigue or comfort issues. I can’t recommend them enough.

Punches way above their price point - way better than Meze 99

I went to demo an hp amp/preamp with my own Dan Clark Aaron 2 Noire, which Marty tested for free and found it had a defective driver. I listened to the amp with Meze 99, 105, and 109. I didn’t want to try the FT1s but he said hear the difference while we test your hps. And wow! FT1s blew me away. Incredible sound for the price. Way better than the famous Meze 99. I would switch between FT1 and Meze 105, 109 and I couldn’t tell the difference. If you want an incredible deal this gem is it. And buy from Bloom Audio! Service is great. I didn’t even buy it while I was and they didn’t care. I bought them afterwards cause I was able to return my newly purchased Aeon 2 Noire. So very happy with Bloom Audio. And will make my next purchase through them. Thanks!
