FiiO FT1 Closed-Back Dynamic Driver Headphones Review

FiiO told me about the FT1 in late spring this year, and by this time I had finished trying the JT1 and being just whelmed with it. I was really hoping this would not be a case of yet another company knowing how to put out nice open-back headphones but less so with closed-back ones. Between a lot of travel to multiple continents, I admittedly sat on this review for a bit longer than I would have liked too. However, the end result is I had more time with it and was able to time this review to when FiiO has not only released the second wood/color option for the FT1, but has increased production to where supply is hopefully not lagging behind demand by the time you read this. At this point I think it's obvious to everyone reading this review that the FiiO FT1 is a success. A lot of customers clearly love it, and it has got rave reviews from many too. I certainly get it, especially given this is a set that looks and feels more expensive than the ~$140-150 you can pick it up for. Even Sivga, who has made a name for itself with affordable wooden ear cup headphones, finds the FT1 to be eating its lunch by being priced less, tuned subjectively better, and offering better accessories too. The FT1 is a legitimate set for not just music listening, but gaming too. I honestly feel most people here should check it out rather than mainstream gaming headsets, especially if you prioritize build quality and sound.
