RE: There are TWO FT-1s

Posted by John Elison on February 12, 2025 at 12:45:34:
I own the FiiO FT3 dynamic headphones and also the FiiO FT5 magnetic planar headphone. The FT5 headphones sound better. However, the new FT1-PRO headphones have a 1-micron planar diaphragm compared to a 6-micron planar diaphragm for the FT5 headphones. I'm kind of surprised at the diaphragm difference relative to the price difference. I would have expected the more expensive headphones to have the thinner diaphragm. Perhaps I'll have to buy the FT1-PRO headphones to find out how their sound quality compares to the FT5 headphones.

Happy listening!
