Focal Azurys
FIIO FT1
Choosing between the FIIO FT1 and Focal Azurys comes down to whether you prefer a bit more bass or a bit less treble. The FIIO are the bassier of the two, and they include an extra balanced cable with a comfortable fit. However, the Focal have a more analytical bass, but a warmer treble, with fabric-covered padding, making these comfortable, too. You get only one cable, but it has a built-in mic. Arguably, the FIIO initially suffered from dubious hinges, so the Focal might be a safer bet, but current production FIIO units seem to have fixed the issue.
