Still waiting for mine to arrive.

Excited for my first Fiio product.

They seem to be an incredible bargain for the level of technology they contain

Very interested in these as well.

They're selling like face masks at the peak of covid.

Can't seem to find a detailed review or FR on these yet.

Subbed. Is this Fiios' 1st attempt at a high end set of cans?

I think this is their 3rd.

They have the Fiio / Jade collab headphones which are about $70, which probably doesn't qualify as high end. Haven't heard it myself but just guessing from the price.

The FT3 dynamic driver which retails for $300.

The FT5 Planar that retails for about $500.

They were available here for a very short time but almost immediately sold out. I guess vendors order minimum quantities initially to see what demand there is. Same with the K11 R2R. I am sure there will be enough stock around shortly once they all re-order and the initial rush is over so no need to panic . These are not limited edition products.

Yes, I owned the FT5 for a short while. Something tells me these are going to be more high end though - more expensive, even though it's a closed back. Hope all is well with you bud.

Hi, it is still a entry level headphone. Here is another review.

I hope Fiio some day makes a high-end closed-back. Closed-backs can be so much more than entry-level.

Have you seen @GadgetryTech s very detailed review?


I bought a set mostly based of this review and even though I don't have that many hours on the set yet, first impressions are quite good.

How is the speed?

The issue with the large drivers is they can't keep up with fast paced bass like with metal, edm, etc.
