FT1 Pro

To me DT 770 Pro X are almost uncannily comfy. Same with DT 900 Pro X. I feel that they're there, but they don't interfere at all. Same with FT1 Pro with thicker/firmer leather pads: slightly increased clamp, decreased headband pressure. They're there, they're weighty, but they don't bother me.

I have several that I absolutely love and listen to every day, and I have a particular fondness for my FT1 Pro and DT770. But my Etymotic ER2XR has my favourite tuning of any headphone or IEM I have ever tried. In a world of bloated bass and piercing treble, they absolutely nailed the tuning on the ER2XR and they sound leagues better than even the more expensive stuff I have tried. The deep fit means they have noise isolation better than a lot of dedicated earplugs and they bypass basically your entire ear so they can deliver sound straight to your eardrum which means more people get to experience the intended tuning. I also find them more comfortable despite their deep fit. The nozzles and shells are very slim, especially compared to the modern IEM trend of having massive shells with 400 drivers per side (and usually sound like shit, but I digress).

FT1 Pro when I'm doing work here at my desk and have the silence around me to enjoy them. ER2XR if there is ongoing noise and I need the silence. AirPods Pro 2 if I'm doing something physical or am out of the house.

Can confirm that they are amazing but for me only after pad swap (big ears) and some EQ. Most comfortable thing ever (with analog of Capra strap) - sitting 10-12hours daily with them on. What a relief after 600g venus

I use a btr17 with my hd6xx. I also have the ft1 pro. The btr17 gives them both the wired or Bluetooth options and has a decent dac/amp. Depending if I’m on the move, I can go Bluetooth for convenience, or if I’m at a desk or in bed, I go wired. It’s a little bit of the best of both worlds.

The FT1 Pro is a completely different headphone to the non pro. FT1 has more bass than any other audiophile headphone I've seen, while the the Pro is on the leaner end. The Ananda Stealth is also very lean, wouldn't recommend it if you want bassy music to sound bassy.

It's not as much of a slam dunk as the FT1 was, price wise, but it's a solid headphone. I prefer the 6X0 to the Pro (though they're all more expensive other than the 6XX), and I'd say they're about on par with the Sundara, but I'd take the Pro over the Edition XS anyday and twice on Sunday.

Definitely second the FT1 Pro; the sound profile on the 770 line is ... weird and not great for a lot of us. The FT1 is a much better headphone for about the same price.

FiiO FT1 pro is a great alternative to Edition XS with tamer treble and better QC and comfort. That’s what I would recommend.
