Wired earphones have seen a real evolution over the years, from those painful round buds to the sleeker, fitted bud design. Well, make way for the next step, a drum-shaped design. The FiiO flagship FF3 are classic in-ear headphones with a twist.
These premium wired headphones sport large 14.2mm LCP diaphragms. The drum-shaped design and tube design extend the airflow path thus increasing the air damping, and in-turn improving the audio performance with the ability to produce frequencies as low as 90Hz.
The dual-cavity design ensures deeper bass courtesy of the 316L Stainless Steel polished construction for each earbud. While the diaphragms are driven using ultra-fine copper-clad aluminium Daikoku voice coil. The earbuds come with three pairs of ear tips, referred to as Sponge Covers. These tips differ in size and ability of sound that can be achieved with each pair. The tips are designated as bass-enhancement, balanced and transparent treble-focused.
The FiiO FF3 in-ears rely completely on cables which are built using high-purity copper with a silver coating (silver-plated monocrystalline copper cable). The audio jack is designed for easy compatibility. It features a twist-lock swappable option which allows you to switch between a 3.5mm stereo jack and 4.4mm termination plugs.
Priced at ₹9,990, it is evident these headphones have been designed for the old-school audiophile who prefers the feel of wired in-ear headphones to the new-age TWS. The headphones are available in two colours — Elegant Black and Cosmic Silver.
