FiiO FX17 Flagship In-Ear Headphones Revolutionize Portable Audio
FiiO unveils the FX17, a flagship in-ear headphone that pushes the boundaries of portable audio. Each earpiece is equipped with an impressive 13 drivers, including a 10mm dynamic driver made from a lithium-magnesium alloy, four Knowles Balanced Armature drivers, and eight Sonion electrostatic drivers. This hybrid setup is designed to deliver a comprehensive frequency response from 8 Hz to 40 kHz, ensuring detailed and balanced sound across the spectrum.
To optimize performance, FiiO has integrated a five-band electronic and acoustic crossover within the FX17. This sophisticated crossover design ensures each driver operates at its peak, maintaining a consistent impedance curve that enhances compatibility with a wide range of audio sources. Additionally, the patented FiiO S.Turbo technology is implemented to boost the bass response, providing a deeper and more engaging low-end without sacrificing clarity in the higher frequencies.
The FX17 boasts a minimalist yet premium build, featuring earcups crafted from pure titanium. These earcups are hand-polished and treated with vapor-phase deposition to achieve a smooth, glossy finish. The ergonomically curved design, combined with a precise 10-degree nozzle angle, ensures long-lasting comfort during extended listening sessions. This attention to detail in the design not only enhances durability but also maintains an ideal fit, even with the densely packed driver configuration.
Connectivity is handled through an 8-conductor hybrid cable that incorporates gold, silver, and copper conductors. This cable supports MMCX connectors and includes three interchangeable adapters: a standard 3.5mm jack, a balanced 4.4mm Pentaconn, and a USB Type-C with an integrated DAC capable of decoding PCM streams up to 32-bit/384 kHz. The FX17 package also includes 22 pairs of eartips, covering a variety of sizes and materials to ensure the best possible seal and personalized fit for every user.
Priced at $1,499.99 USD, the FiiO FX17 is now available for purchase. With its advanced driver architecture, meticulous build quality, and versatile connectivity options, the FX17 sets a new standard for high-end in-ear headphones, catering to audiophiles seeking unparalleled sound performance and comfort.
