I tested FiiO’s brand-new $69 audiophile-grade headphones — and I don’t know why you’d ever spend $200+ again

The FiiO JT3 headphones in black and silver shown against a blue tom's guide background.

The FiiO JT3 are the best headphones for audiophiles on a tight budget, and there’s very little competition. It’s rare that I see headphones below $70, let alone wired audiophile-grade headphones constructed of high-quality materials like (admittedly, faux) velvet and metal.

If you’re tired of plasticky, cheap-looking headphones but you don’t have a lot to spend, then boy, will you want to know about the JT3. These headphones are a whirlwind of premium design and premium sound, and are most certainly the model to beat now.
