FiiO Unveils the FT1 Premium Closed-back Hi-Fi Headphones with American Black Walnut Ear-cups.
FiiO, a leader in high-fidelity audio solutions, proudly announces the expansion of its acclaimed headphone lineup with the introduction of the FT1 closed-back over-ear headphones. Following the success of their award-winning FT3 and FT5 models, the FT1 offers audiophiles a unique combination of premium materials, advanced acoustic engineering, and exceptional sound quality at an accessible price point.
The FiiO FT1 headphones are meticulously crafted, featuring 60mm dynamic drivers encased in real American Black Walnut ear-cups. This design not only elevates the aesthetic appeal but also contributes to a superior listening experience by minimizing resonance and reducing standing waves, ensuring a pure, immersive sound.
Key Features of the FiiO FT1
- American Black Walnut Ear-cups: Crafted from FAS-grade American Black Walnut, each pair of FT1 headphones is unique, thanks to the natural grain of the wood. This dense, solid wood effectively reduces cavity resonance and enhances sound clarity.
- 60mm Large Dynamic Driver: The newly developed 60mm dynamic driver, specifically designed for the FT1, provides an expansive frequency response from 10Hz to 40kHz. Its larger size improves energy conversion efficiency and enhances bass response, delivering powerful, controlled lows.
- Nano-wood Fibre Composite Diaphragm: Incorporating spruce wood fibers from 90-year-old Northern European trees, the diaphragm offers a clear, natural tone. The combination of wood and carbon fiber materials results in a diaphragm with high acoustic toughness, contributing to the FT1’s warm and detailed sound profile.
- W-shaped Suspension Gasket: This in-house acoustic technology, coupled with a 25mm diameter voice coil, increases the effective vibrating area of the diaphragm by 25.8%, resulting in reduced distortion and a clean, refined audio output.
- Ultra-fine Japanese CCAW Voice Coil: The FT1 features a specially imported ultra-fine Copper-Clad Aluminum Wire (CCAW) voice coil, enhancing transducer efficiency and providing a pure, comfortable listening experience.
- U-shaped Acoustic Damping Tube: This innovation enhances passive noise attenuation and reduces cavity resonance, further refining the bass extension and overall sound quality of the headphones.
- Conical Baffle Plate: Designed to position the driver parallel to the ear, this feature minimizes high-frequency attenuation and prevents standing waves, ensuring a balanced, high-fidelity audio experience.
- 3-axis Adaptive Headband: The FT1 incorporates the ergonomic design of the FT3 and FT5 models, offering 12 levels of adjustment and multi-angle rotation for a secure, comfortable fit.
- Breathable Fabric Earpads: The high-density mesh design of the earpads ensures long-lasting comfort, effectively dissipating heat during extended listening sessions.
- 392-wire Silver-plated Oxygen-free Copper Cable: The FT1 comes with two interchangeable cables: a 3.5mm single-ended plug and a 4.4mm balanced plug, both crafted from Oxygen-free Copper-plated Silver Wire for a transparent, robust sound.
