The FiiO FT1 Experience with Dekoni Audio Earpads

The FiiO FT1 is making waves in the audiophile world with its powerful 60mm dynamic drivers and hybrid pleather/mesh earpads, delivering a solid listening experience straight out of the box. However, for those looking to fine-tune their sound and comfort, Dekoni Audio’s TH900 earpads offer an excellent upgrade. Through extensive testing, we found that our Fostex TH900 replacement earpads fit the FT1 perfectly, offering both sonic improvements and added comfort.

Why Dekoni Earpads?

Dekoni’s TH900 pads come in a variety of materials, but pleather and sheepskin options stood out as the best choices for the FiiO FT1. These materials maintain or even enhance the rich bass response the FT1 is known for, complementing the headphone’s air displacement capabilities. Whether you prefer the refined depth of sheepskin or the balanced warmth of pleather, both options provide a superior seal that helps maximize low-end performance without compromising clarity in the highs.

Comfort and Compatibility

Beyond sound quality, Dekoni earpads feature high-density, heat-activated memory foam, ensuring a plush yet supportive fit. This means longer, more comfortable listening sessions—perfect for audiophiles and music lovers alike. Additionally, the FiiO FT1 is compatible with Dekoni’s Ensemble Modular Cable System, using the dual 3.5mm connection. This allows users to swap out cables with ease, whether for balanced listening or upgraded durability.

Unlocking the FT1’s Bass Potential

For bass lovers, the FiiO FT1 responds exceptionally well to EQ and external bass enhancements. In testing, pairing the FT1 with a low-frequency shelf and an iFi xBass boost unlocked an insane level of bass energy without overwhelming the mids or highs. When combined with Dekoni’s TH900 earpads, this setup delivers an immersive low-end experience that remains controlled and non-fatiguing.
