It's rated at 32 ohms with a 7Hz-40kHz frequency response and sensitivity figures of 98dB\/mW and 113dB\/Vrms at 1kHz. A magnesium alloy headband uses a lambskin contact surface, and the earpads themselves are swappable between lambskin and suede depending on preference. FiiO includes both a 3.5mm and a 4.4mm balanced cable, built from a mix of refined Furukawa monocrystalline copper and silver-plated oxygen-free copper, along with an XLR-4 adapter and a 3.5mm-to-6.35mm adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSimcoe Audio Video Insight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwapping between the lambskin and suede earpads changes more than comfort — earpad material affects the seal and high-frequency response of a closed-back headphone, so it's worth trying both to hear which one suits your ears and your music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60mm dynamic driver with purpleheart wood earcups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwappable lambskin and suede earpads included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced cables plus an XLR-4 adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for the FiiO FT13:\u003c\/strong\u003e start with the lambskin earpads for a warmer, more sealed sound, then switch to the suede pair if you want a slightly more open presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy It Wins\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e60mm Dynamic Driver\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tuned for a 7Hz-40kHz frequency response in a closed-back design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwappable Earpads\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lambskin and suede pads are both included, letting you adjust the fit and tonal balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurpleheart Wood Earcups\u003c\/strong\u003e: A distinct wood finish available in Black or Mahogany.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat Makes It Different\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost closed-back headphones ship with a single fixed earpad material.
