Fiio FT-1 Closed Back Headphone

Wired over-ear headphones

Sound of nature 

The FIIO FT1 cups are made from a handsome Beech wood. The smooth grain of the wood, which is unique to each piece, and the fine texture bring out its natural beauty. This very dense solid wood also helps to effectively reduce cavity resonances and minimise standing waves.

60 mm dynamic driver

The larger-than-average driver improves the efficiency of energy conversion and provides a solid foundation for powerful bass. In addition, the larger size of the driver results in lower resonance points at low frequencies, allowing for deeper bass, dynamic sound and an overall authoritative sound. 

The cone of the FIIO FT1 is mainly made of carefully selected paper wood fibres based on 90 year old spruce wood from Northern Europe.  A certain amount of carbon fibre material is added to meet the acoustic resilience requirements. The membrane is then baked and moulded in a further round so that it finally reaches a thickness of around 0.1 mm, is light and resistant. In keeping with its overall acoustic concept and high-quality listening experience, the FIIO FT1 uses a nano wood fibre cone.

This membrane consists of carefully selected paper fibres in combination with a lightweight PU (polyurethane) suspension seal. It is characterised by excellent high-frequency extension and excellent transient response, resulting in a clean, precise sound with clear imaging and giving you the unique sweet, rich and dense midrange sound of paper cones. 

Cutting-edge technology and innovative applications

The FIIO FT1 pioneers a new generation of in-house acoustic technology - the W-shaped suspension seal. The 25 mm diameter voice coil is larger compared to similar models and has been specially optimized and tuned.

Compared to typical, similarly sized cones, the 60mm W-shaped cone achieves a 25.8 % larger effective vibrating area, allowing it to store more energy reserves.  This design minimizes vibration losses between the different materials and reduces distortion caused by driver break-up, allowing the FT1 to deliver a more refined sound. 

Ultra-fine Japanese CCAW voice coil

To ensure a robust and high-quality sound, the FIIO FT1 uses a specially imported Japanese ultra-fine CCAW (Copper-Clad Aluminium Wire) voice coil with a diameter of up to 25 mm.

A longer copper wire of the voice coil can directly improve the efficiency of the transducer and the drive capacity, resulting in a better transient response and a purer, more pleasant sound. 

Closed-back design 

A series of sound-absorbing components in the FT1 effectively reduce ambient noise, including external voices and ambient noise, by up to 26 dB. 

U-shaped sound attenuation tube for improved noise reduction 

The U-shaped sound attenuation tube specially developed for the FIIO FT1 not only improves passive noise reduction, but improves the bass expansion. You will clearly feel the air movement and the focused power of percussion and strings. 

32-Ω design with high sensitivity

FT1 has a low impedance of 32Ω and offers an acoustic sensitivity of 98dB/mW. This significantly reduces the need for drive power, allowing you to enjoy outstanding sound quality effortlessly. 

To make the FT1 headband more portable and lighter, it is equipped with high-quality steel rails that significantly increase the durability of the headband. 

The FT1 is equipped with breathable fabric ear pads, which are made of a textile material that comes into contact with your skin.
