FIIO JADE AUDIO JT7 AND JT3 HEADPHONES HIT THE MARKET DELIVERING HEADFI AT ENTRY LEVEL PRICES
FiiO’s affordable HeadFi brand Jade Audio has released the new Jade Audio JT7 and JT3 Headphones.
Leading the release is the Jade Audio JT7 open-back planar magnetic headphone, joined by the Jade Audio JT3 dynamic headphone.
JADE AUDIO JT7 OPEN-BACK PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONE
Claiming to be “the most affordable planar headphone in the world”, the Jade Audio JT7 open-back planar magnetic headphone is a major technological statement for FiiO: a lightweight, foldable, high-performance planar magnetic headphone engineered entirely in-house to change expectations of what a planar headphone can cost.
Building on years of planar R&D, the JT7 features a 95 × 86 mm ultra-large planar driver and a push-pull magnetic architecture with two-way high-density magnets. The JT7 also incorporates FiiO’s breakthrough F.E.S. (FiiO Elastic System) – an embossed structural design on the diaphragm that increases elastic amplitude and enhances low-frequency dynamics.
The JT7 weighs just 318 g, making it one of the lightest planar headphones ever designed, says FiiO. A detachable 3.5 mm single-ended and 4.4 mm balanced cable comes as standard alongside replaceable earpads and a removable Velcro headband cushion, to ensure long-term durability and comfort.
JADE AUDIO JT3 OPEN BACK DYNAMIC HEADPHONE
Supporting the flagship JT7 is the Jade Audio JT3, an open-back dynamic headphone designed to deliver a wide soundstage, clarity and comfort at an entry-level price.
Equipped with a 50 mm dynamic driver featuring a PEK + PU composite diaphragm and a high-tension CCAW voice coil, the JT3 also features a brass damping ring to reduce distortion further and improve micro-detail reproduction.
The JT3 continues FiiO’s philosophy of prioritising acoustic investment: placing budget into drivers and internal materials rather than unnecessary accessories. With a lightweight 330g design, velvet earpads, aluminium-magnesium alloy grilles and dual 3.5 mm connectors, the JT3 is built for comfort, say FiiO.
