fiio ft3 large dynamic over-ear headphones

The FT3s are in my humble opinion a premium option at the price point. These CANs are serious business when it comes to sound. The use of a large 60mm DLC driver in an open CAN design with all of Fiios RnD aspects thrown in. I can tell Fiio took their time on this one. The end results are quite good. Its imaging is quite addictive if not substantial with a timbral quality that is easily above its price point. Its spacious sound is perfect for all types of music and even better suited for gaming. Note weight aside, it's the one real minor negative for me that can be mitigated once you feed it with good matching power. They become much more dynamic in presentation, punchier in the bass, more textured for its mids and most importantly with better treble control while adding a wider deeper taller stage. For Fiios' first time open headphone offering these are tuned to be more mature, higher end sounding than something you actually get at the price point and for that I applaud Fiio for bringing out the best they can from what they know. Their production qualities clearly show in the FT3 and really for what they are asking to own a set. Open can designs just don't get much better.
