FiiO-FT13-Closed-Back-Headphones

The FiiO FT13 Closed-Back Headphones redefine audio excellence, blending cutting-edge technology with timeless craftsmanship. Launched as a successor to the acclaimed FT1, these headphones are a testament to FiiO’s dedication to delivering unparalleled sound quality and aesthetic appeal.

  • Large 60mm Dynamic Driver
  • W-Shaped Diaphragm
  • Wool Composite Nano-Fiber Wood Diaphragm
  • Natural Purpleheart Wooden Earcups
  • Naturally Magical Colors

Large 60mm Dynamic Driver

The FT13 features a massive 60mm dynamic driver, a rarity in its category, promising deep bass and a wide soundstage. This larger driver generates more power and converts electrical signals into sound with greater efficiency, resulting in reduced distortion, quicker transients, and a richer, more powerful bass experience.

W-Shaped Diaphragm

Inspired by speaker cones, the FT13’s W-shaped diaphragm increases the effective vibration area by 25.8%. Crafted from a hard dome and flexible surround, this proprietary design minimizes energy loss and internal distortion, delivering higher efficiency and a cleaner audio output.

Wool Composite Nano-Fiber Wood Diaphragm

Made from birch wood sourced from Europe’s cold climates, this diaphragm benefits from over 100 years of papermaking craftsmanship. The process, enhanced with carbon fiber threads and wool fibers, creates a rigid yet flexible diaphragm with a warm, richly emotional sound signature.

Natural Purpleheart Wooden Earcups

Crafted from South American Purpleheart wood, the earcups age naturally for 90 days to develop their unique purplish-brown hue. Precision CNC machining and a high-gloss lacquer finish highlight the wood’s natural grain, offering corrosion resistance and minimized resonance for a faster, cleaner sound.

Naturally Magical Colors

Following the FT1’s success, FiiO explored Purpleheart wood from South America’s rainforests. Aged and meticulously processed in Lianyungang, Jiangsu, this wood transforms into a deep purplish-red, symbolizing mystery and individuality. This evolution reflects FiiO’s vision of blending nature with audio innovation.

Available now, the FiiO FT13 Closed-Back Headphones are a masterpiece of sound and design, perfect for audiophiles seeking a unique listening experience.
