HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2024
- The FiiO / Jade Audio JT1 is a 50mm Closed-Back Dynamic headphone with a list price of $69.99 USD. In this review I talk about sound quality, comfort, build quality, and how it compares against a couple other models in the sub $100 headphone space.

Joe, Thank you for posting.
I like your reviews. You show a lot of details and come from a reasonably universal point of view. I like the graphs, they show details that are hard to catch without visuals. The one thing that is missing is channel balance. Sennheiser is a brand that's known for their quality control. They pair their drivers better than most other brands like Beyerdynamic. I found it can be an issue with budget headphones. I know you need to be sure of your measuring rig to make good assessment of channel balance, but maybe it's feasible with the Ears..?
The mic is surprisingly good. Which ironically is the last thing I care about in a headphone but it’s absolutely a very nice bonus! Great informative review.
Clip,it closer to your mouth sounds like,e a boom mic really good
Copped these for $45 late last year when they came out. There were no reviews then but took a chance coz of the price. Happy i took the risk. Definitely not audiophile headphones, but as you said, decent bassy headphones that aren't fatiguing in the uppermids/treble frequencies. The big plus though really is the comfort.
Yeah for what it competes with, I can see a lot of people liking these. I'm glad to hear you like yours!
@@GadgetryTech got my trusty HE400SE for better tuning and technicalities as well! Also got a good deal on those for about $65. Not sure if you'd have access to it, but would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the Aune AR5000. $300 set that supposedly competes well with the Sundara and maybe even the HD600.
@@KmtS9 I too have the HE400SE (with the Stealth Magnets, V2)...an excellent open-back planar headphone and unmatched at its $85 price point (when on AliEx sale). However, I grabbed these JT1's because sometimes I want a closed back. I was considering the venerable Philips SHP9500 (semi open back), but I think the JT1's have supplanted the 9500's as king of value/performance.
FiiO has never disappointed me. I also own the BTR5 and two BTA30 Pro's (multi-CODEC BT Receiver, BT Transmitter, and DAC). FiiO makes some excellent audio equipment at accessible pricing.
Thank you for the review… enjoyed the EDM show 😂. Seems like a good all-rounder pair of cans
Haha thanks! Once I thought of the idea I knew I had to go through with it
I've been waiting for the JT1's to restock but off topic ... you got a link for that headphone stand?
@GadgetryTech Did you get any answer from Corsair about the mic?
I still use the Cloud 2 and Cloud Alpha. Still amazing after all these years and work great on PS5. Feels like they were ahead of their time.
The cloud 2/cloud line is just the Takstar Pro 82 with an added mic. Was smart of hyper x to take a good budget audiophile can and tweak it for gaming.
@@cha0ss0ldier-4 I agree, it’s very good!
Would you recommend this or hyperx?
@@prime12602 Hyperx
Will you be able to make a video with all gaming headsets you have reviewed with simultaneous bluetooth having trouble to choose under 300 price point
The new hd490 pro have just been announced would these be replacing the 560s for gaming
Could you do a detailed video comparing OneOdio Pro 50 vs FiiO JT1 ? I feel both are cut-throat competition, but which is better ?
Hey! So I'm wondering if you know what the KINGSTON HyperX Cloud 2s stock audio EQ is set to. My previous cloud 2s broke after 6 years and had to resort to buying the Razer BlackShark v2 Pros after finding out Kingston sold HyperX to HP and messed up my go to headset (thought I bought a defective headset after trying the new ones). I'm trying to replicate how they sound and have gotten really close but would appreciate some more advice :D
Edit: Sound Normalization has also helped while trying to achieve the same type of audio also what are your thoughts on sound normalization? would love a creditable second opinion, I have it set to 30
Hey man, does the inline mic work on pc for gaming purpose ?
R u any closer to doing warzone audio with sonar steel series nova pro
Hi,
What would you get for competitive gaming?
This or an EM6L?
I was looking at HD560S and DT 900 Pro X but all the used ones in my country got scooped up, and their off the shelf price is out of the range.
That’s when I found this pair of cans and they seem like a good deal, but wanna get the best deal for footsteps in Valorant.
Thank you!
Ghost is another one that is good for around $100, but these are WAY better sounding. I just picked up the Meze Noir for $179 and was blown away by how comfortable and good they are. So much so that I ordered the Dakoni pads and the Meze Silver Plated 4.4 replacement cable for them. I got the cable, but I am waiting on the pads.
*Update: The Dekoni pads are not worth it. I tried for 45 minutes and could not get one of them on the Meze. I put the stock pads back on in 30 seconds. DO NOT buy the Dekoni Pads for Meze!!!
Hi, what's that blue moon ligh on the shelf?
Should i get the jt1 or save some money for a dt770pro for gaming?
How do you compare headphones? Im trying to compare the jt1 with cooler master mh751
Can you share your EQ of JT1?
Is there a good replacement mic for these headphones? I'm aware of products like the V-Moda Boom Pro, but that only has a single plug going into the headphones. Is there something that will work with this?
I have that one and unfortunately it does not work. I'm really hoping to figure out more options soon though.
@@GadgetryTechis there any adapter of any kind do you know of Joe.If Joe don't know knowbody knows😂
how would these compare to something like the HD6XX? or HD650?
my issue with this pair is the 6k, a bit harsh there but the rest are fine, esp in that price range
Where can I find that black hat of yours? Looks dope!
Hi, Fantastic review. Is the headphone compatible with the V-MODA BoomPro Microphone for use on Xbox?
Unfortunately its not.
Hi, and thanks for the comment and letting me know. It's unfortunate as it would be ideal with a decent mic
@@paulwhite985the V-moda pro rocks I have two sets just incase.
how about vs ath m40x for music production?
are they better than astro a40s?
Good review. I'm liking the sound quality and imaging however, the fitment just isn't there for me. They feel too loose and the ear cups just don't get the correct alignment for me. I'm now looking at IEM's and wondering how these perform as an all rounder (music and gaming) to the Simgot EM6L.
I also want to know exactly this...
Got the simgot EM6L when they were on sale, they sure are worth their price ! Unless your coming from a very bad audio system they wont blow your mind but they do everything (gaming and lots of music genra) perfectly and are easy to eq, also you won't need an amplifier/ dac they're VERY sensitive despite the multiple driver. If you're coming from speaker/headphones be aware that they WILL NOT replicate such open-ess / soundstage altough it is very correct i still believe the fio would be better for gaming etc..
@@alexandrevalentin8587 yeah 8 bought them too and agree with everything you said. Unfortunately they broke in less than a week.
Ive got a corsair virtuoso rgb (not pro) for gaming. Thinking about swapping for this but the mic is really bad compared to virtuoso by the sounds of it
fiio jt1 vs sennheiser 6xx ? thanks
Hey Joe what brand and type of the headphone holder that you're using?
www.thomannmusic.com/rooms_audio_line_typ_fs_pro_bk_headphone_stand.htm
Can you compare this JT1 with other populare headphone like pc 38x, hd 560s, hd 58x???
Anybody know the maximum power input of the fiio jt1 in mW ?
Hd599 hd560s on sale or a epos h6pro clearance price still takes the crown Fiio are killing it tho
Wait until my FT3 and FT5 reviews drop! FiiO makes some great stuff
My epos h6pro openbacks are way way way better after breaking in I'm in love with them sound way better than new. Movies gaming il hd599 my music
Is the balanced 4.4 or 2.5?
Hi Joe, can I ask if u think the Hifiman EF400 u reviewed previously is a good DAC AMP for competitive gaming for positional audio? I kinda got to test it as a DAC for my speakers and like it, but not so sure on Headphones gaming aspect. Thanks!
I wouldn't use the EF400 for competitive gaming to be honest. The FiiO K11, JDS Atom Stack, Schiit Magni/Modi, or Topping products would do better in that realm.
@@GadgetryTech Thank you!
You bet!
I HAVE had THE jT1'S for 3 months and I have been very satisfied with them but my Cable developed a short does anyone know of a compatible cable that works with them?
Does the cable have issues with micro acoustics like when it runs across a surface you get the harmonic noise.
Yes it does
If you had to choose between the fiio jt1 and the epos h6pro for gaming and some music, which would you choose? Not considering the price difference that is.
Epos and go for openbacks there at 70 usa uk now grab them whilst you can they are world class get better with age break in well I'm forniting xdefience every switch game re 4 2 3 and they are amazing with the clearance proce I'd argue you get both the open and the closed
this vs philips x2hr?
These sound very good indeed, but the cable, from the point or moment where it splits into left and right, really makes a lot of noise in the headphones when you move around (friction with clothes, etc). Did someone try these headphones with an alternative third-party cable? Is there a solution for the friction noise?
Buy a cheap Amazon Basics balanced cable.
what about HD 569 ??? fiio jt1 is better ?
🤘
How about vs Fidelio x2 hR?
Really interested too, but didn't anything. But I think the Phillips would be better.
hey if anyone finds a cable with a boom mic like he said, please let me know! i cant find any sadly but having a boom mic would be a gamechanger for ps5 usage
I really hope Corsair comes through and releases their mic separately soon! Fingers crossed.
@@GadgetryTech also hoping that if that happens they also reduce the cable noise for it
I gave them some feedback thinking it would be nice to use a rubber jacket instead as well. We'll see!
Fiio jt1 or epos h6pro closed (at $99), strictly for fps gaming? What would you pick?
If you did choose the H6 pro you should get the open back really for FPS
@@jasonemanuel9070 I just don't wanna hear my surroundings while I'm gaming.
@@prashantgupta1908 is it noisy,have you used open backs before🙂
Not a fan of the 9600s. The 9500s got me into portable HiFi, though.
Same
was going to buy this but somehow all online store in my country suddenly don't have this in stock...
Hopefully they show up soon!
Fiio headphones after release always sellout the ft3s are god tire good
It thought it was an open back?
Philips SHP9600 were not the best from Fidelio line, Philips SHP9500 is better choice if you can find them or personal favorites x2hr when they are on sale.
Thanks for the heads up! This is my first Philips can and while I like certain things about it, it certainly wasn't too special sounding.
I had the 9500s and the JT 1's have a better sound. I loved my 9500s but the trebles and highs could get ear piercing. These do not.
@@jacobtupua6158good to know,that's why I gifted my shp9500 to my best friend he was blown away with them.
Just gonna say it: who else died of laughter when he put on the headphones?😅😅😅
Hahahaha I didn't know what you were talking about, he put them on a few times.... Then it happened. 😂 Good stuff, Joe.
9:12 for those wondering
@@oKMz I Don't get it.
@@garygarlucialuciani9794 🤷
O@@oKMz
Yo! 🥰
the 9500 sounds better than the 9600
Noted!
What the hell is that bass response?!?!
It is STRONG lol. That big scoop helps keep it from sounding bloated at least
Just got mine today. It’s an amazing headphone. Sounds just as good as a $500 headphone.
Good and cheap headphones, but no where to be found, sold out everywhere.
I have a rule of thumb.
If its on Alli express it ain't worth it.
Why that don't make sense
