We're big fans of FiiO gear – we gave the FiiO FT5 over-ears the full five stars in our review, the FiiO FT3 are among our picks for the best wired headphones, and FiiO M11S tops our list of the best hi-res music players. But while the FiiO FT3 headphones are comparatively affordable for audiophile cans, they're still quite expensive at just under $300 / £300 / AU$450.
So we're quite excited by the brand-new FiiO FT1 headphones, which promise headphone heaven for considerably less cash: they're half the price of the FT3 at just $159 / £139 (roughly AU$270). They're also closed-back, which means they'll isolate you from sound better, and can be used in noisier environments.
