It's rated at 20 ohms with a 7Hz-40kHz frequency response and sensitivity figures of 112dB\/Vrms and 95dB\/mW at 1kHz. The earpads use a breathable fabric surface with protein leather along the sides, and the headband runs on steel slides with a suede contact surface. FiiO includes two cables, a 3.5mm single-ended and a 4.4mm balanced, both built from 392-wire, 24AWG conductors, along with a 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter and a storage bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSimcoe Audio Video Insight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlanar magnetic drivers spread their driving force evenly across the whole diaphragm rather than pushing from a single point like a typical dynamic driver, which is part of why the FT1 Pro can reach a 7Hz low end while staying open-back for a wider, more natural soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e95x86mm planar magnetic driver with a 1μm thin diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-back design for a spacious, natural soundstage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo cables included: 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for the FiiO FT1 Pro:\u003c\/strong\u003e run it from a dedicated headphone amplifier rather than a phone's headphone jack — a 20-ohm planar driver benefits from more current than most portable sources can supply cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy It Wins\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95x86mm Planar Magnetic Driver\u003c\/strong\u003e: A FiiO-developed driver with a 1μm thin diaphragm for low distortion and fast transient response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen-Back Design\u003c\/strong\u003e: Built for a wide, natural soundstage rather than isolation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Included Cables\u003c\/strong\u003e: A 3.5mm single-ended cable and a 4.4mm balanced cable, both 392-wire 24AWG construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat Makes It Different\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost headphones in this price range use a single dynamic driver.
