Overview

The FiiO Wind Pro is a wired, on-ear headphone built around a 40mm high-fidelity dynamic driver with frequency response extending down to 23Hz for deeper bass reach. It uses a semi-open design with specialized vents and acoustic damping filters, aiming for a neutral yet warm sound with natural, transparent vocals. The build features an all-metal faceplate made with a photolithographic process, an adjustable stainless steel headband, swiveling earcups, and a fully braided cable with a metal plug. Two sets of ear cushions are included, along with built-in in-line controls that support the CTIA standard for playback, track selection, and volume adjustment.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

Extending frequency response down to 23Hz on a 40mm dynamic driver is a meaningful step up from a typical budget on-ear headphone, and it's part of why FiiO positions the Wind Pro as the deeper-bass sibling to the standard Wind rather than just a cosmetic refresh.

• 40mm dynamic driver with frequency response down to 23Hz
• All-metal faceplate and fully braided cable
• Hi-Res Audio certified, semi-open design

Best for the FiiO Wind Pro: pick this over the standard Wind if you want a bit more low-end extension and a more premium metal build, since both share the same retro on-ear form factor.
