The design of the new FiiO headphones is industrial, like the FT3, but it is understated and restrained. The full black aluminium design is classier and more premium-looking than the FT3, and the earcups look more original and authentic. FiiO has used a fan blade design for the earcups, which didn’t look nice on the FT3 but looks better on the FT5 in my opinion.

The build quality is strong, with no plastic parts on the FT5, which feels excellent. The earcups, grills, headband, and yokes are all aluminium and look and feel extra durable. The inner side of the headband and the suede earpads have a very soft and high-quality finish as well. Overall, this is a fantastic build quality for a $449 headphone.
