Our Verdict
FIIO FT1
FIIO FT1 Pro
Despite sharing a similar name, the FIIO FT1 Pro and FIIO FT1 are very different headphones. The Pro feature an open-back design and planar magnetic drivers, resulting in a much worse noise isolation performance and more leakage. However, they have a flatter sound profile compared to the warm-sounding FT1 that's better suited to professional audio applications. The Pro also deliver audio more consistently, regardless of your head shape or facial features. Aesthetics can come into play, as the FT1 feature an eye-catching wood finish to their ear cups, while the Pro have more subtle perforated black housings to their ear cups.
