FiiO’s launches stylish EX1 In-Ear headphone for true audiophiles

The diaphragm is the heart of sound production facility of earphones, determining the sound quality of the earphones to a great extent. To produce better sound, sound engineers have always been looking for a lighter yet stiffer material to transduce sound with less distortion. We have discovered that titanium, a material more often found in aerospace engineering, is very light, with high sound conduction speed, yet several times stiffer than steel; we have been able to design a full-range dynamic driver around this material with breakup frequency above the audible range, this ensuring clear, even high frequent reproduction.

Highly researched duralumin/ stainless steel housing

All components of the earphone housing are precision CNC milled, with the back made of anodized duralumin and the front stainless steel, the 'beehive' of tuning ports on the front being precisely sized and positioned to deliver the desired sound tuning properties. Nanotech titanium diaphragm driver Delivering even more response across frequencies and a natural yet energetic sound, the titanium diaphragm can handle high power without distortion while preserving exemplary transient response, unlike traditional dynamic driver diaphragms.

Kevlar-strengthened high-purity multi-strand OFC cable

The EX1 headphone cable consist of 42 strands of high-purity ODC copper intertwined with 250D Kevlar fiber strands, ensuring superior sonics as well as great strain resistance and longevity. The outer sheathing is composed of medical-grade TPE for minimum microphonics and maximum biocompatibility (avoiding skin allergies).

Metal body is designed to suppress resonance to the maximum extent, preserving the superior transient  response of the nanotech titanium diaphragms for lifelike reproduction of live sound. With small rounded on-ear driver housings and shallow in-ear nozzles, ensuring long-term wearing comfort

The EX1 comes with several sets of  eartips of different sizes and designs to let you find the best fit, both physically and sonically.

The EX1 is priced at Rs. 5799 and is now available at leading e-Stores and retailers.
