Fiio FT3 is built around a new custom 60mm driver. Oversized, built with DLC (diamond like carbon) for its excellent audio properties, the XL drivers help to improve dynamics and low end response. The drivers are 350 ohm impedance for a lower noise / higher SNR performance.
Fiio FT3 was designed around comfort, with deep pads, two types included, a soft headstrap and vertical and horizontal swivel, to eliminate pressure points. The frame is made of aluminum alloy for light weight and high strength.
*Suggested dac: Fiio K7 - literally made for each other. Use the 4.4mm plug for the FT3 - the K7 is a great value and K7 + FT3 make a great performing pair!
The cable is 3m length nylon braided design, using Furukawa copper (for a limited time) with a high 23 awg cable size. We love that Fiio include two swappable ends: 1. SE 3.5mm + can be used with SE 6.35mm plug and 2. BAL 4.4mm + can be used with BAL XLR plug. So, included are all the cable types you could reasonably need: SE 3.5mm / 6.35mm / 4.4mm / XLR plugs are all accounted for. NICE!
The two types of ear pads included are a suede and protein leather. This allows you to choose the one you find most comfortable or to choose based on their different effects they have on the audio tuning. Its always great to have more choices.
