Fiio In-Ear Monitors, Nanotech Titanium

Styled sleekly in silver, the EX1 from FiiO is a pair of in-ear monitors with 13mm drivers sitting at the heart of the unit fashioned of titanium-a material more closely aligned with the aerospace industry than the business of earphones. However, as titanium boasts both a high sound-conduction speed and a density stiffer than traditional steel, FiiO has opted for this construction in the goal of delivering an even frequency response, especially in the high-range. These in-ear headphones also offer a greater presence in the bass frequencies, as well as minimal distortion values (below 1%). A metal encasement designed to minimize resonances at every point of contact helps ensure a lifelike transient response to boot, resulting in music sounding precise and detailed.
