I've been looking forward to these since FiiO announced it, and then I watched Z Reviews and that got me really interested:


Other reviews in case you find Z a bit too much :



I searched for it and the last batch on AliExpress sold out. Last week I saw that AdvancedMP3Players had it for pre-order for less than the price on AliExpress! So, I bought it expecting to arrive sometime later in April at the earliest.

Well, it arrived today, and it sounds like a pair of £150 headphones, easily. They're not open headphones, but they're like a halfway towards a fully closed one as there's audible sound leakage. It's not something I'd recommend for travelling. The cables included are fantastically premium. The build of the headphones itself doesn't scream of premium, but it does feel tightly built.

I preordered last week and got it via FedEx today.

Features
  • 50mm high-performance dynamic driver
  • PEK+PU + aluminium foil composite polymer diaphragm
  • Closed cavity design
  • CCAW paper tube voice coil N52 high-performance magnets
  • Dual TRS detachable cable
  • Inline microphone cable
  • Self-adaptive headband, elastic leatherette
  • Lightweight design, comfortable wearing

In the Box
  • FiiO Jade Audio JT1 Large Dynamic Driver Headphones
  • 3.5mm MIC cable
  • 3.5mm female to 6.3mm male adapter
  • Storage bag
  • Quick guide

The earcups are VERY comfortable, and the only nitpick of mine is that it's a snug fit to my larger-than-average head - the headband's pretty much maxed out.

    These may or may not be good but I wouldn't trust recommendations from that shill z reviews. At this price point and if on a budget these are probably worth a look though.

    Yeah some hard-core shilling going on. FiiO do make good stuff though so may still be a good buy. (edited)

    Ordered a pair yesterday (24th Apr) and got a confirmation they will be delivered tomorrow (26th Apr) even though the website still said they were on preorder.

    Just checked the website and it now says they are in stock. (edited)

    Thanks for the update. I have amended the listing.

    I tried using a balanced cable paired with an iFi Zen Dac Amp and it sounds so much better. Crazy that it only costs £65!

    Looks like all headphones have now been ordered. I'll try to keep an eye out on when this is back in stock.

    Further to my previous comment when I said these were probably worth a look, irrespective of my criticism of a certain reviewer, I'll soon know what I think of them as I ordered them yesterday. I think the small discount which put it just under £60 pushed me to finally purchase them.

    Um. Looks like some reviews are sounding ok . Probably why these sold out pretty quickly. Might try a set myself. Do I need them . No . Lol. But at this price it's worth a shot . Think these are classed as. semi closed (. Not fully open ) Heat from me . Let's see how long they take to come out again .

    It was on preorder last weekend when I ordered and received it today. They may be pushing it to customers as they come into their warehouse.

    Anyone know if you can use another 3.5mm cable, like from the meze99

    It uses dual 3.5mm.

    Has anyone seen a boom mic that can be plugged into these? Similar to the BoomPro?
