FiiO FT3 Review

The FT3 350Ω is quite different from what someone should have expected from FiiO’s first open back headphone when it comes to tonality and overall sound signature. Instead of going the casual route, FiiO have decided to make a reference and monitor-like sounding headphone with class leading transparency and technicalities which also requires a headphone amplifier.

On the other hand the FiiO FT3 32Ω has an audiophile oriented tuning with a warmer and more relaxed sound signature that can be additionally enhanced with plenty of extra bass thanks for the hybrid ear-pads, adding great versatility to this version of the headphone which is also more portable friendly.

The FiiO FT3 is undoubtedly a great, entry level headphone for a great variety of users as it comes in two versions, each one having its distinctive tuning and different power requirements. Comfort can be improved though but build quality is really stellar and the headphone comes together with one of the most inclusive accessory bundles in the market thus making it a tremendous value for money and a very successful first entry for FiiO in the full sized headphones category.
