It's rated at 36 ohms with a 7Hz-40kHz frequency response, sensitivity of 110dB\/Vrms and 96dB\/mW at 1kHz, and a maximum power input of 2000mW. The shell and headband use a lightweight magnesium aluminum alloy construction, and FiiO includes two earpad types, suede and protein leather, so you can adjust the fit and tonal balance. A pair of swappable 3.5mm and 4.4mm audio plugs connect to a 392-wire, high-purity silver-plated monocrystalline copper cable, with dual 3.5mm connectors at the headphone end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSimcoe Audio Video Insight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 90mm planar driver is large even by planar magnetic standards, and pairing it with a 2000mW maximum power input signals FiiO built the FT5 to be driven by a proper desktop amplifier rather than a phone or laptop headphone jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90mm planar magnetic driver with a PAR diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-back magnesium aluminum alloy construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo earpad types included: suede and protein leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for the FiiO FT5:\u003c\/strong\u003e pair it with a desktop DAC\/amp that can comfortably supply its 2000mW maximum power input — a phone or laptop won't get you close to what this driver can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy It Wins\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90mm Planar Magnetic Driver\u003c\/strong\u003e: A PAR diaphragm and aluminum alloy voice coils tuned for a 7Hz-40kHz frequency response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Earpad Types\u003c\/strong\u003e: Suede and protein leather pads are both included, letting you tune the fit and sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwappable 3.5mm\/4.4mm Plugs\u003c\/strong\u003e: The cable's audio plug swaps between single-ended and balanced without needing a separate cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat Makes It Different\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost headphones in this price range top out with a single earpad option and a fixed cable termination.
