FiiO FT3 Review – a Gauntlet, Thrown Down

I think FiiO has created a winner here.

While the visual design is a bit hit or miss, the sonics are more than enough to make up for it. On top of that, the accessory kit is top-notch and makes the FT3 compatible with almost every desktop audio setup out there.

My only major gripe with the FT3 is the treble peakiness which can induce ear fatigue faster than one might get with darker headphones. I’d take care to partner it with more warm and dark equipment and steer clear from all-opamp designs that rely on deep negative feedback.
