Fiio FT1 unboxing and Initial Impression : I am impressed !!

[@striderwhiston9897]

tbh there's no better closed-back headphones than the Fiio FT1 under $500, not even the maxwells, so yeah I'd argue it will be better than a $300-400 closedback.

[@eargasmic3060]

Naa, you are over selling it by a big margin by bringing the open back HPs in, it can barely scale up to the the Technical abilities of the Dekoni Blue while the Sivga Luan will chew it for fun. For closed back, I did find the Sennheiser HD569 to be a bit more aggressive but cleaner and more technically capable too.

[@striderwhiston9897]

​@@eargasmic3060 If you're talking open-backs, entirely separate category of headphones so I don't think it's fair to compare them, since you'd have to spent at least 800$ to get a comparable closeback to a decent entry-level openback like a HD560S. The HD569 is decent but I don't think it's as good, I'd even choose the DT 770 pros over them tbh

Great review bro, thank you!

[@calvinyip364]

When will the fill review be out. Can it compare to headphones around $300?

[@eargasmic3060]

It definitely can, if you are in conundrum, get the FT1, you will not regret

[@calvinyip364]

@@eargasmic3060 I already own Close back : ath m40x , takstar pro82. Open back : hd600,hd58x, aune ar5000 , shp9500. Do you think this will add well into my collection? I listen to kpop , pop, female vocals, jpop, anime pianos.

FIRST! 🎉 💜 हरी ओम्। 💜

[@sachinmesta4238]

Assuming its closed back P2 pro

[@eargasmic3060]

P2 pro is a different kind of beast but this has a lot of potential. Let me burn this is first. 😊

[@fonzyha]

Do you know how long the included cables are please?

[@eargasmic3060]

They are around 140-150cm

[@ElDMello]

how are they VS Sivga Robin SV021 and Fiio JT1

[@eargasmic3060]

It's better than both Robin and JT1. Lot more natural and effortless compared to these two.

[@ElDMello]

@@eargasmic3060 Ok, thanks for replying. Also what are your thoughts on meze 99 neo, sivga Orioles. maybe a comparo for under $200 closed backs😅

[@eargasmic3060]

I have no experience with these two sadly.. If you have a bit more budget, I will suggest you the Sivga Luan though.

[@ElDMello]

Luan would be over just for headphones. The main purpose is video editing, gaming, basic audio mix, music, movies. And iam looking for headphones+ dac/amp combo under $300 what you recommend for best sound quality?

[@drpatel55]

bro how is fiio ft5 ? can i go with it ?

[@eargasmic3060]

Sure, you can go for FT5 and Sivga P2 pro too

[@andonlytheone111]

Isn't that what he said in the video? You can go with any headphone as long as it works.

[@calvinyip364]

How does it sound for female vocals?

[@eargasmic3060]

FT1 is Natural and organic with both male and female vocals, female vocals have the height but aren't thin.

[@calvinyip364]

@@eargasmic3060 how does it compare to ffio jt1?

[@Helmond2017]

Does it come in a 32ohm version?

[@eargasmic3060]

It only has 32 ohm version as of now. 😅

[@Helmond2017]

@@eargasmic3060 that's great, I like having a set that's easy to drive.

[@liamporter1137]

Better than Aune RT5000 in term of sound quality?

[@eargasmic3060]

I haven't heard that sadly but I don't think FT1 should be better than RT5k. I do find the FT1 to be excellent when it comes to overall performance, it has the bass, doesn't sound clumsy or lacking air between instruments. You can opt for FT1 and save some cash and get a better source!! 😊

[@k.w5804]

I had mine for 3 days before returning it. It’s definitely worth more than the asking price but I wish it was even lighter. But really good for someone who needs a close back for better isolation

[@eargasmic3060]

You bought in the day of launch it seems.. Let me suggest you the Sennheiser HD569. Much lighter.

[@ik1llpeeple4fun]

How is the passive noise cancellation with this set? 👀

[@eargasmic3060]

FT1 has very good Isolation.

[@OldAussieAds]

I own the Sennheiser HD569. I can confirm they are indeed very lightweight and the most comfortable headphones you’ll ever wear. However I doubt they hold a candle to the Fiios.That said, I enjoy their sound.

[@eargasmic3060]

Oh it can, kind of but it's not vastly inferior
