fiio ft7 open back planar headphone review ProsCons...

FiiO’s entry into the flagship realm of headphones is a welcome addition. In the headphone world, in general, the price of entry to enjoy a flagship headphone is rather high.

Pros

  • Quality materials and build Competitive price Beautiful design Punchy, detailed, and fun sound Included collection of connector tips Easy to drive yet scales up with a good desktop amplifier. Generous 3-meter (10 ft.) cable. A 1.5-meter version is available for more portability. Light and comfortable. The ear cups are deep and should fit most listeners. Choice of ear pads for tailoring the sound. Eye glass friendly Sturdy storage case

Cons

  • The inclusion of a 3.5mm connector adaptor. A more user-friendly size adjustment knob (that isn’t orange).

The open-back FiiO FT7 is the most well-built pair of headphones that I have handled from China thus far. The bold material usage, understated luxury, premium accessories, and a mature and natural tuning, come together to create a delightful user experience.

Pros

  • Premium carbon and wood design.
  • Excellent detail retrieval power.
  • Versatile pads swapping system.

Cons

  • Recessed cable socket.
  • Slightly stiff headband adjustment.
