FiiO enters the open-back, over-ear headphones market with the FT3. It uses novel 60 mm dynamic drivers with a Be-plated surround and a DLC diaphragm in a unique, all-aluminium chassis and is paired with a high-quality cable and two sets of ear pads for a refreshingly different warm-neutral sound without breaking the bank.

not bad, still well priced and impressive results ... the usual Fiio

they were my choice for BT cans before the STAX Spirit S3 (although they had ANC )
similar folding, faceplate but less liked (to me) round cup shape
seems they disapeared from stocks ... and never came back ... at least none of my retailer who had them, did restock

All I'll say is this is one of the few times that the asking price seems actually justified.

Yes, after reading your review, I was pleasantly surprised by the price. However, I also read several reviews of the new Sennheiser HD660S2 and decided to buy these. Any chance you would review the HD660S2? As mine should be arriving on Monday, for me it would be just so I can compare my own impressions with yours, along with the other existing reviews.

Sennheiser never replied to my emails so it's unlikely to happen sadly.
