Description
Audiophiles seeking a premium open-back planar magnetic experience will find the FT7 delivers a wide, detailed presentation with a mildly V-shaped tuning that emphasizes both bass extension and treble air. The self-developed 106mm planar driver pairs a 1μm PET diaphragm with vacuum-deposited gold and silver traces, producing a clean, airy sound with exceptional detail retrieval. The dual-sided neodymium push-pull magnetic circuit ensures uniform field distribution across the diaphragm for consistent performance. Carbon fiber construction keeps the frame at just 427g, while the zebrawood grille—sourced from West African trees—reduces sound wave reflections and adds a distinctive visual element.
The included cryogenically treated 6N OCC cable uses PFA insulation to improve conductivity while adding tonal warmth. Two ear pad sets let you tailor the experience: the perforated lambskin pads deliver a neutral, technically revealing sound, while the breathable fabric pads shift the balance warmer and more intimate. Headfonia reviewers describe the FT7 as offering excellent technical capability and a wide and deep soundstage at its price point, earning a Headfonia Recommended award. The 25Ω impedance pairs comfortably with portable dongle DACs through full-size desktop amplifiers.
