FT1 32Ω Large Dynamic Driver Headphones with Solid Wood Cups

In the 20+ years I've been using full size headphones for PC/Media use, these rank among the best. They're comfortable, they sound amazing, they're light, they're very nice to look at, they're built stout, they're easy to drive, and they respond really well to EQ-ing. I may finally feel OK to retire my 20 year-old pair of JVC HA-RX700's, Denon D2000's, AKG K553 Pro's, and Sony XB-500's. I haven't gone back to any of them in the almost year I've had the FT1's. I picked these up last January, took a while to get them. But when I did, was well worth the wait! The cord is a good length for my basic desk usage, I don't use these away from my desk. But the cable is well built, the connections are good, and I don't feel a need to replace it. I want to say it came with a second cord, but I don't recall now TBH. I appreciate that the mids and hi's are still clear and forward, while the bass can be ominous and very present. I am using a FiiO K11 DAC/AMP to run them, and what a great combination that has been! Mix in some EQ-ing from EQ APO/PeaceUI, and I'm good to go. The 60mm drivers really deliver in these headphones. The wood caps look amazing. I still look at these every time I go to my desk in awe of how good they look for what I paid (around $150-160 in early 2025), and I am beside myself. There are better headphones, in every way, I'm sure. But I'm no audiophile, I do like what I like sound and comfort-wise, isolation-wise, and mostly, budget-wise. These checked all the boxes a year ago, and still do to this day. These are my headphones of 2025, and 2026. :)

These headphones are the definnition of a slow-burner. With time you get to apreciate just how excelent they are for the price. The sound great, very balanced tuning, clear sound and good dynamics. The comfort is also very good, lightweight build and decently padded headband. The build quality is price appropiate, so don't expect them to feel expensive because there not. They don't feel super cheap either, just not luxurious or substantial. They are clossed back but don't isolate as well as other passive designs. The sound doesn't leak a all at normal volumes, but you can hear the sounds around you, albeit somewhat attenuated. The are very sensitive so you can power them with pretty much anything. Although i use them with a QUESTYLE M15i DAC+AMP combo and they do scale appropiately. They are transparent and talented enough to show the quality of the source you are using. I have come to build a nice little collection of heaphones (From exotic Planars like the Hifiman Ananda, to the legendary Sennheiser HD 25, Sony WH-1000XM4 and now these) and i can tell you they are one of the best values in the audio world right now. Lastly, the accesories included are increadible for the price point. The two cables (3.5mm and balanced 4.4 mm) are of great quality, though because of the material used for the outer shielding they can introduce microphonics when roubing against someting like your clothes. The carrying case is very good aswell, though a bit large, since these heapdhones dont fold when stored.

Bought these for my brother for Christmas as his first pair of audiophile headphones. After testing and setup I can vouch that these are 100% worth the hype and an amazing value. I was skeptical after recently buying into the hype on several other audio products I purchased for him and ended up being disappointed (Audeze Maxwell, HyperX Alpha, Sennheiser wireless set, etc.), but these headphones truly deliver. Right away we were impressed with the looks and packaging, the wood cups actually look a lot better in person and are very appealing aesthetically. The fact this comes with a case and multiple cable options at this price already makes it an incredible value. But the most important thing is - how do they sound? Easy answer, they sound excellent. Opening up Helldivers 2 and hearing the intro sequence was like listening to an awesome home theater system in your own head. The detail, power, and resolution were seriously impressive, and not only met but surpassed my expectations for this price. The imaging was on point, as you can clearly hear the direction of all audio elements, the soundstage is great for closed backs, and there was great speed and accuracy to the sound reproduction - they did not sound slow for dynamic drivers at all. This is the third set of headphones I bought for my brother trying to find ones that would give him an experience at least close to my Hifiman Edition XS + Schitt Stack desktop combo. First I got him an Audeze Maxwell, which to be truthful I felt was pretty disappointing, especially for the price and level of hype that set has received. They had good detail, but felt anemic and underpowered via the DAC dongle, and ultimately they did not convince me at all that Bluetooth has caught up to a wired audio experience. Then I got him the HyperX Cloud Alpha, since he likes that brand and they got good reviews. With EQ they sounded alright, but luckily there was audible distortion from the dongle and we returned them. Then I bought him the FT1, the ones I originally wanted for him, and wow what a difference an audiophile set of headphones make vs wireless and gaming headsets. So much more power and dynamics than the Maxwells, and much better detail, resolution, imaging, and timbre and noticeably less distortion than the Alpha. From this overall experience, I would personally say the sentiment on channels like The Headphone Show that wireless or gaming headsets have caught up to dedicated audiophile setups is subjectively false. Even as a non-believer in audiophilia, my brother admitted there is a drastic difference and was immediately impressed and satisfied with these cans. Third time is the charm. Finally, a success with the FT1! Also, as a bonus on top of everything else, these cans are very comfortable, which was an important consideration for my brother (I am more willing to wear uncomfortable headphones for good audio quality, him not so much). Luckily, they were a win on that front as well, very lightweight and feel great on the head and ears. The compatibility and functionality are winning factors too, as they are very easy to drive. Paired with the Aune Yuki using the balanced cable, they had plenty of power even in the low-gain mode, and felt like they were being driven to their full potential. So any good DAC dongle will do, which also makes them highly portable, even more so being closed-back - something I can be jealous of from my own desktop audio setup haha. The ONLY negative I can say for these headphones is the cable is pretty microphonic and any movement will be picked up and audible via a scratching sound that gets transmitted through the cord. So you may want to upgrade the cable, but the stock cables are still fine for stationary desktop usage. Also, can't speak on durability yet, but they seem well built and I am aware the company fixed the one well-known durability issue with improved hinges on these updated models. Having owned FiiO products in the past, I feel they are a stellar value audio brand and believe my brother will be happy with these for a long time. So all in all, these headphones met and surpassed our expectations and even their own hype. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to dive into great audio gear at this relatively low price point, as they are certainly mind-blowing in sound and value.

Mon meilleur casque. Je retrouve la qualité sonore de mon vieux Pionner des années 70, les bruits parasites en moins. Et en plus, il est beau et hyper confortable.

I've been a hifi and audio enthusiast for decades. Literally dozens of pieces of gear have come and gone. Speakers of all kinds, amps tubed ss and integrated, vinyl front end changes, DACs players and streamers. So I spent considerable time researching what headphones to buy. I've had Grados and Senheisers in the past but rarely used them and eventually sold them. I have aged a little (some hf hearing loss) and life style changes have moved me into pretty much exclusive HP listening. These Fiio Ft1's are pretty darn remarkable! I'm still using the same FLAC file library I ripped from my CD collection years ago and I vividly remember how it sounded on the big rig in my listening room back then. These Ft1's have just the right balance of all the things I remember from my favorite tracks plus a little more resolving detail that I truly enjoy. I can listen for hours with no fatigue just enjoying great music. And I'm not driving them with a fancy amp DAC or DAP player. I'm using an original LG G7 phone with the stock LG player app and local files on a micro SD card directly out to the HP's using the 3.5mm cable. The phone does have a good DAC and can put out 2v in "high impedance" mode so it drives them very efficiently to louder volumes than I would comfortably use. Best part is I'm truly rediscovering and loving my music collection again. Plus using Spotify lossless and some internet radio in 320kbps to discover more. I do use the eq to reduce the low frequencies by a factor of 7 out of 10 on the DAC's eq scale at 125khz and 250khz. This makes the bass sound real and authentic like a bass guitar or kick drum should, not bloated and thumpy but still with real weight and authority. Nicely built and very comfortable. I had to add padding to the strap because I have a small head and they were too big and loose and hung too low on my ears. No biggie, every HP I have ever used presents this problem so I modify with extra padding. For the price I consider these a steal! Strongly recommended!

Melhor qualidade sonora que já ouvi. Valeu cada centavo. Dizem que o "noise canceling" não é bom, mas não notei absolutamente nada que prejudicasse a imersão, que é total. Definitivamente o fone da minha vida (e ja tive Sennheiser e Audio Technica).

السماعة 10/10 انصح فيها بشدة من ناحية صوت من ناحية جودة مواد تصنيع لا بأس فيها عيبها وسادة الراس فيها زوائد جلديه راح تطيح لكن مالها دخل ابدا بالراحه ولا تغير الشكل

My only real complaint is the cable, which feels very low quality with a lot of microphonics. However, this is easily fixed with a 20€ aftermarket cable, so not enough to take a star off at this price point. The other thing I will mention is that some people may find the treble a little bit harsh at times, but this comes down to individual preference. The wood can make a couple of pops as you start wearing them, presumably as it changes temperature and expands. Not a big deal (it happens maybe 1/10 times) and probably inevitable when using real wood. Other than that, they are fantastic sounding headphones. If you haven't used a pair of high quality headphones before, you'll get to experience your favourite songs as if it were the first time again.
