FiiO FT5 Review

 

FiiO's planar magentic headphones come with a twist

Tough metal cups ; Comfortable ; Fun, high-resolution sound

Bonus mid-bass dampens the planar appeal a little ; Slightly edgy styling may turn off some

Won’t fit smaller heads ; Fractionally rich tonality ; Carry-case is massive

The Fiio FT5 strike a really nice balance in every respect, from the way they’re built and finished to the way they sound. If it’s absolute sonic neutrality you’re after, they may not be for you – but if you fancy an entertaining sound with a bit of...

FiiO FT5 review: a new wired wonder

 

Do these over-ear cans come close to planar magnetic perfection? The FiiO FT5 is an astonishing performer for the price

Superb sonic performance ; Looks great and is built to last ; Extensive wired connection options

Proprietary cables ; Ear cups not the largest

Purpose-built to please audiophiles who refuse to give up on wired listening. The FT5 is a fantastic pair of planar over-ears.
