5. What material is the FT13’s housing made of, and how does it feel to wear?

The FT13’s earcups are crafted from natural purpleheart wood, available in natural wood (clear lacquer) and black (semi-transparent lacquer) finishes.

The FT13 was engineered with improved comfort in mind—its clamping force, headband curvature, earpad structure, and materials were all repeatedly tuned to achieve a design that doesn’t pinch, offers full coverage, and feels soft and breathable, making it ideal for long listening sessions.
