6. Is it easy to drive the FT5? Can ordinary cell phones drive it?

Traditionally, planar magnetic headphones have featured low sensitivity, leading many users of such headphones to employ beefy desktop audio gear to drive them to their full potential. Planar magnetic headphones traditionally cannot be sufficiently listened to during travel.

But the FT5 is not like a traditional planar magnetic headphone. Thanks to 20 neodymium magnets with high magnetic density of up to 1.5T, 6μm thin diaphragm, and nano-level aluminum alloy coating technology, the FT5’s driver is both light and strong, allowing for a high sensitivity of 110dB/1Vrms@1kHz i.e. 96dB/mW@1kHz. This allows the FT5 to be easily driven even by portable players, letting you experience a “Golden Hall” of sound no matter where you go.
