Why it Sounds Amazing
Planar Magnetic Driver
I love describing planar magnetic drivers as the Formula 1 cars of headphone tech. Unlike traditional dynamic drivers, planar magnetic drivers use an ultra-thin diaphragm suspended between magnets that pushes air with unmatched speed and precision. The result? Sound that’s exceptionally clean, fast, and rich in detail across the entire frequency range. 🎧
Now here’s what’s actually happening: because of the evenly distributed magnetic force across the diaphragm, you get lower distortion, tighter bass, and a superior transient response. Planars often need more amplification and are typically found in larger headphones, but the payoff is a sound that’s smooth yet revealing—incredibly accurate without being clinical. It’s the kind of driver that makes you rethink what your favorite track actually sounds like.
Warm & Smooth Sound Signature
I tend to describe a warm & smooth sound signature as the audio equivalent of a hot cup of tea on a rainy day—comforting, rich, and easy to love. It's perfect for those who prefer relaxed, fatigue-free listening that doesn’t stab you with harsh highs or overly clinical detail. ☕🎶
Technically, this means a slightly elevated bass and lower midrange, with tamed treble to prevent any sharpness. The result is a sound that's full-bodied and inviting, especially great for vocals, jazz, indie, and old-school rock. While it may not offer extreme precision, it excels in musicality and emotional warmth, making long sessions an absolute pleasure.
Ultra-Wide Sound Stage
Do you wish to bring the concert hall to your ears 🏛️?
I love describing ultra-wide soundstage as "audio magic" that creates a breathtaking three-dimensional environment around your head. These specialised headphones feature an exceptionally spacious soundstage that creates the illusion you're sitting in the sweet spot of a magnificent performance venue. Think of it like teleportation technology for your ears - suddenly you're not wearing headphones, you're sitting in Carnegie Hall with perfect acoustics.
The precise instrument placement and remarkable sense of space work together to transport you directly into the music, making you feel as though you're experiencing a live performance. This creates a listening experience that's grand, enveloping, and incredibly detailed 🎭.
When you encounter "😳 Ultra-Wide Soundstage" products, expect concert hall acoustics that make you forget you're wearing headphones through sheer spaciousness and realism.
Thick Bass / Kickass Bass
When I say kickass bass, I’m talking about bass that slaps you right in the face—in the best way possible. It’s that visceral, chest-thumping low-end that makes you feel like you’re in the front row of a concert or a nightclub. If you’re into hip-hop, EDM, Bollywood beats, or anything with a deep groove, this is where the fun begins. 🔊💥
Here’s what’s going on technically: the low-frequency range is heavily emphasised, resulting in powerful sub-bass rumble and impactful mid-bass slam. This kind of tuning brings weight, warmth, and physicality to your music. The trade-off? It might mask some midrange detail or high-frequency sparkle—but for bassheads, the emotional payoff is more than worth it.
Crisp Vocals & Instruments
Vocals and instruments sound so good, it's like a warm hug 🤗!
I believe that when vocals are reproduced correctly, they should feel like the artist is performing right there with you.

Think of it like having front-row seats to an intimate acoustic performance where every breath, every string resonance, every subtle inflection comes through perfectly.
The natural timbre and tonal accuracy create an engaging presentation where every nuance is preserved while maintaining fatigue-free listening. Each word, note, and subtle inflection is reproduced with outstanding definition and emotional connection 🎤.
When you encounter "🍿 Crisp Vocals & Instruments" products, expect vocal excellence that brings you closer to the emotional heart of every performance.
Smooth & Sweet Treble
Seeking something that sounds smooth and devoid of harshness 🥰? I tend to describe these headphones as having "silk-like highs" that caress your ears rather than assault them. These products are meticulously designed to deliver high frequencies that are wonderfully gentle, offering a listening experience that's both sophisticated and delightful. Think of it like the difference between premium chocolate and cheap candy - both are sweet, but one provides refined pleasure while the other can be overwhelming.
The carefully tuned treble presentation ensures musical details come through with remarkable clarity while maintaining natural, fatigue-free character. The refined high-frequency presentation maintains excellent detail and air while avoiding any hint of harshness or stridency ✨.
When you see "🍦 Smooth & Sweet Treble" products, expect refined high frequencies that deliver crisp detail with a touch of sweetness and sophistication.
Layered and Nuanced Sound
Imagine sitting in the second row of a grand music hall 🎼, where each instrument's placement creates a vivid sonic landscape before you. I believe these headphones recreate that precise spatial positioning, allowing you to distinctly perceive where each instrument would be on an imaginary stage. Think of it like watching an orchestra conductor - you can follow each section independently while appreciating how they work together in perfect harmony. The layered presentation ensures every element occupies its own distinct space while contributing to the whole.
This audio equipment creates a detailed listening experience where musical notes, overtones, and reverberations shine through clearly, keeping complex passages distinct and well-separated. The tuning excels at revealing subtle interplay between instruments and the natural ambiance of recording spaces 🎯.
When you see "🍰 Layered and Nuanced Sound" products, expect intricate soundscapes that reveal the depth, complexity, and artistry in your favorite music with exceptional clarity.
DESCRIPTION
FIIO VENTURES INTO THE WORLD OF PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONES WITH THE ALL-NEW FT5
The FT5 marks FiiO's entry into the domain of full-sized planar magnetic drivers. Boasting a 90mm planar magnetic driver unit featuring a 6um ultra-thin diaphragm, the FT5 delivers robust sound performance characterised by low distortion and high clarity. FiiO meticulously engineered the driver unit with a micron-plated aluminium silver-alloy square coil. Built with a lightweight magnesium-aluminium alloy, the headphones feature a 3-way swivel design for the ear cup. The FT5 incorporates a high-power Tesla-grade magnetic flux, housing 20 strong Neodymium magnets on each side. FiiO's commitment to innovation in personal audio shines through in the FT5, offering a significant advancement in planar magnetic headphones. Merging cutting-edge technology with exceptional comfort, these headphones provide an auditory experience that combines innovation and immersion.

FEATURES 90MM PLANAR MAGNETIC DRIVER WITH AN ULTRA-THIN DIAPHRAGM FOR CLEAN SOUND
The remarkable FiiO FT5 incorporates an impressive 90mm planar magnetic driver, distinguishing itself from traditional dynamic drivers by achieving a more balanced conversion of sound energy to sound waves. This is achieved through a more even vibration pattern across the entire driver diaphragm, minimising distortion caused by diaphragm material rigidity. The FT5 excels in faithfully expressing audio signals, ensuring a lossless hi-fi sound experience that accurately reproduces every nuance. To optimise the planar magnetic driver, FiiO's development team determined that a 6μm thickness diaphragm strikes the ideal balance between sound performance and reliability. The diaphragm, crafted from PAR, serves as the backbone for the FT5's exceptional dynamics, highly detailed sound, and the incorporation of rich bass—an attribute not commonly associated with planar magnetic headphones.


MICRON PLATED ALUMINIUM -SILVER ALLOY COIL WITH NANOSCALE DIAPHRAGM COATING PROCESS
Within the flat driver diaphragm featuring a printed coil, the majority of weight concentrates on the metal-coated voice coils. Throughout the development of the FT5, the R&D engineers faced the challenge of considering how these interact with the 6μm thin diaphragm and the density and conductivity of the coils themselves. After extensive examination and testing of commonly used materials for plating planar coils, FiiO engineers concluded that the lighter aluminium alloy material was optimal. Additionally, silver was identified as enhancing coil conductivity, facilitating easier powering of the driver without compromising the high-frequency detail and rich sound characteristic of exemplary planar magnetic drivers. The FT5's driver coils, printed onto the diaphragm using cutting-edge semiconductor industry technology, ensure a more consistent thickness and evenly distributed weight, resulting in more uniform diaphragms for an accurate sound experience.


EMPLOYING 20 N52 NEODYMIUM MAGNETS TO BRING OUT THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE DRIVER
The FiiO FT5 utilises N52 neodymium magnets with a magnetic density of up to 1.5T to generate the robust forces necessary for driving the substantial planar magnetic driver. These magnets are strategically positioned parallel to the coils on the driver, ensuring an even distribution of voice coils within the magnetic field to optimise the driving force of the headphones and unleash the complete potential of the planar magnetic driver. For comfort, 11 magnets are positioned on the interior of the FT5's planar magnetic driver, complemented by an additional 9 on the exterior, totalling 20 magnets per channel and 40 magnets overall for the entire headphone. This meticulous magnet arrangement facilitates an equitable distribution of aluminium alloy coils within the magnetic field. It also ensures a balanced interaction between the forces of the inner and outer magnets, promoting consistent driver movement and consequently minimising distortion, resulting in a heightened fidelity sound experience.



OPEN-BACK ACOUSTIC STRUCTURE FUSED WITH AN EASY-TO-POWER, HIGH-SENSITIVITY DESIGN
To achieve its exceptional sound quality, the FiiO FT5 boasts a large 90mm planar magnetic driver featuring 20 magnets on a single side. Enhancing its performance further, the FT5 incorporates a specially designed open-backed acoustic structure. The rear of the driver housing acts as a sound wave baffle, effectively isolating sound waves in the front and rear sections. The meticulously engineered grille accelerates airflow during driver movement, ensuring unparalleled treble resolution and a vast soundstage for an immersive auditory experience. Unlike traditional planar magnetic headphones with low sensitivity, the FT5, equipped with 20 neodymium magnets boasting high magnetic density and a 6μm thin diaphragm, achieves a sensitivity of 110dB/1Vrms@1kHz (96dB/mW@1kHz). This design allows the FT5 to be easily driven by portable players, delivering a "Golden Hall" of sound quality wherever you go.


EXPERTLY DESIGNED WITH LIGHTWEIGHT MAGNESIUM ALUMINIUM ALLOY CONSTRUCTION
With a keen awareness of the substantial vibrations produced by the expansive 90mm planar magnetic driver, the FiiO FT5 is crafted from metal, offering superior resistance to the vibrations generated during music playback, especially for bass-heavy tracks. This metal construction surpasses the damping capabilities of plastic enclosures. The intricate design of a planar magnetic driver, including the arrangement and quantity of magnets, directly influences its weight. Therefore, the choice of materials for the outer shell must meticulously balance sound quality and weight. The FiiO FT5 employs a magnesium-aluminium alloy construction, leveraging the lighter density of magnesium-aluminium alloy, which is only 64% as dense as conventional aluminium alloy. This design choice ensures the FT5 remains lightweight, facilitating extended and comfortable listening sessions. The FT5 inherits the excellent 3-axis swivelling design used on other FT series of headphones. This allows the earcups to freely rotate and attach to your head no matter the angle or size of your head, for improved quality and better seal.


METICULOUSLY TUNED TO MOVE YOU AND PRESENT AN EXCELLENT FULL-RANGE PHASE COHERENCE
The FiiO FT5 stands as a planar magnetic headphone, showcasing a unique design where the coils of its planar driver are meticulously distributed across the diaphragm. In contrast to dynamic drivers, which vibrate at specific points, the planar driver's vibration extends across the entire diaphragm surface. This results in a more harmonised movement throughout the driver, leading to improved phase distortion when compared to dynamic drivers. Extensive simulations and analysis of abundant experimental data guide the optimal placement of the FT5's planar driver coils. This strategic arrangement ensures an evenly distributed magnetic field, promoting consistent phase performance across all frequencies and delivering a clean and authentic listening experience.



BUNDLED WITH A HIGH-PURITY CABLE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE PLUGS, EAR PADS AND A LEATHER CASE
The FiiO FT5 features a 1.5m cable composed of 392 silver-plated monocrystalline copper wires, each boasting a 23AWG diameter. These copper wires contribute to a robust and highly detailed sound, ensuring the transmission of lossless audio directly to the listener. The FT5 includes four interchangeable audio plugs: 3.5mm/4.4mm, a 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter, and a 4.4mm XLR-4 balanced adapter. Additionally, it provides two types of earpads, each offering a distinct sonic profile—Suede for balanced sound and enhanced atmosphere, and Protein leather for clean sound, a wide soundstage, and high detail.

For comfort, 11 magnets are positioned on the interior of the FT5's planar magnetic driver, complemented by an additional 9 on the exterior, totalling 20 magnets per channel and 40 magnets overall for the entire headphone. This meticulous magnet arrangement facilitates an equitable distribution of aluminium alloy coils within the magnetic field. It also ensures a balanced interaction between the forces of the inner and outer magnets, promoting consistent driver movement and consequently minimising distortion, resulting in a heightened fidelity sound experience.



OPEN-BACK ACOUSTIC STRUCTURE FUSED WITH AN EASY-TO-POWER, HIGH-SENSITIVITY DESIGN
To achieve its exceptional sound quality, the FiiO FT5 boasts a large 90mm planar magnetic driver featuring 20 magnets on a single side. Enhancing its performance further, the FT5 incorporates a specially designed open-backed acoustic structure. The rear of the driver housing acts as a sound wave baffle, effectively isolating sound waves in the front and rear sections. The meticulously engineered grille accelerates airflow during driver movement, ensuring unparalleled treble resolution and a vast soundstage for an immersive auditory experience. Unlike traditional planar magnetic headphones with low sensitivity, the FT5, equipped with 20 neodymium magnets boasting high magnetic density and a 6μm thin diaphragm, achieves a sensitivity of 110dB/1Vrms@1kHz (96dB/mW@1kHz). This design allows the FT5 to be easily driven by portable players, delivering a "Golden Hall" of sound quality wherever you go.


EXPERTLY DESIGNED WITH LIGHTWEIGHT MAGNESIUM ALUMINIUM ALLOY CONSTRUCTION
With a keen awareness of the substantial vibrations produced by the expansive 90mm planar magnetic driver, the FiiO FT5 is crafted from metal, offering superior resistance to the vibrations generated during music playback, especially for bass-heavy tracks. This metal construction surpasses the damping capabilities of plastic enclosures. The intricate design of a planar magnetic driver, including the arrangement and quantity of magnets, directly influences its weight. Therefore, the choice of materials for the outer shell must meticulously balance sound quality and weight. The FiiO FT5 employs a magnesium-aluminium alloy construction, leveraging the lighter density of magnesium-aluminium alloy, which is only 64% as dense as conventional aluminium alloy. This design choice ensures the FT5 remains lightweight, facilitating extended and comfortable listening sessions. The FT5 inherits the excellent 3-axis swivelling design used on other FT series of headphones. This allows the earcups to freely rotate and attach to your head no matter the angle or size of your head, for improved quality and better seal.


METICULOUSLY TUNED TO MOVE YOU AND PRESENT AN EXCELLENT FULL-RANGE PHASE COHERENCE
The FiiO FT5 stands as a planar magnetic headphone, showcasing a unique design where the coils of its planar driver are meticulously distributed across the diaphragm. In contrast to dynamic drivers, which vibrate at specific points, the planar driver's vibration extends across the entire diaphragm surface. This results in a more harmonised movement throughout the driver, leading to improved phase distortion when compared to dynamic drivers. Extensive simulations and analysis of abundant experimental data guide the optimal placement of the FT5's planar driver coils. This strategic arrangement ensures an evenly distributed magnetic field, promoting consistent phase performance across all frequencies and delivering a clean and authentic listening experience.



BUNDLED WITH A HIGH-PURITY CABLE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE PLUGS, EAR PADS AND A LEATHER CASE
The FiiO FT5 features a 1.5m cable composed of 392 silver-plated monocrystalline copper wires, each boasting a 23AWG diameter. These copper wires contribute to a robust and highly detailed sound, ensuring the transmission of lossless audio directly to the listener. The FT5 includes four interchangeable audio plugs: 3.5mm/4.4mm, a 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter, and a 4.4mm XLR-4 balanced adapter. Additionally, it provides two types of earpads, each offering a distinct sonic profile—Suede for balanced sound and enhanced atmosphere, and Protein leather for clean sound, a wide soundstage, and high detail. The FT5 is accompanied by a lightweight yet opulent leather storage case, offering comfortable protection for your headphones.

The comparisons between FT3 32Ω, FT3 350Ω versions and FT5
Comparing with the 350Ω version, the FT3 32Ω the high-frequency resolution relative convergence, focus more on the sense of presence in the low-frequency.low-frequency volume, strength, speed and elasticity have been improved, , with faster recovery. As for the mid-frequency vocals, compared to the 350Ω version, the positioning is forward, the vocal density of all the enhancement, the sound is relatively warmer, more suitable for the interpretation of pop music.
As a Planar Magnetic Headphones, the FT5 has the high-frequency resolution and wide sound field performance which planar headphone should have. The high-frequency is soft and delicate. Compare with the dynamic headphone the FT5 has a wider range, three-frequency energy distribution is more balanced.As for tuning style, vocal positioning is relatively more prominent than the rich, more suitable for vocals, pop music.
What are the characteristics of the speaker unit and sound performance?
(2) The FT5 driver gasket is the 6μm thin diaphragm and the coils adopt a lighter aluminum alloy material mixing in silver metal, making the driver easier to power without sacrificing the high-frequency detail and rich sound characteristic of good planar magnetic drivers.
(3)The coils of the FT5’s driver are printed onto the diaphragm using high-end technology from the semiconductor industry, ensuring that not only the thickness of the coils are more consistent, but that the weight of the coils are more evenly distributed – resulting in more consistent diaphragms ultimately for more accurate sound.
(4)The balanced placement of 20 neodymium magnets allows the aluminum alloy coils to be evenly distributed in the magnetic field. It also allows the driver diaphragm to be balanced between the forces of the inner and outer magnets, guaranteeing consistent movement of the driver and thus reduced distortion, for higher fidelity sound.
(5)The FT5 features an open-backed design that reduces unwanted vibrations and resonances and results in a larger soundstage. The result is that details in the music come through more clearly and naturally in a wide open soundstage, just as if you were listening to a live performance.
What is the housing material of the FT5? How is the wearing experience?
The FT5 inherits the excellent 3-axis swiveling design used on other FT series of headphones. This allows the earcups to freely rotate and attach to your head no matter the angle or size of your head, for improved quality and better seal.
What is the configuration of the headphone cable?
Meanwhile, to ensure compatibility, the cable features swappable plugs of the following 4 kinds: 3.5mm/4.4mm swappable plugs, 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter, and 4.4mm to XLR-4 balanced adapter.
