What is verified and what is untested

No SoundPath Lab listening, comfort, isolation, distortion or durability test is attached. Product role and manufacturer guidance are Primary-source Verified.

Open evidence gaps

Tuning, seal, comfort, unit consistency, screw retention and distortion remain Awaiting SoundPath Lab test.

Compatibility conditions

Confirm cable termination and source output. Inspect pivot hardware and follow FiiO service guidance if looseness or distortion appears.

Keep or upgrade?

Do not move to FT1 Pro expecting a universal upgrade; change only when its open-back role fits the room.

Alternatives

FT1 Pro for open-back planar home listening; keep an existing closed-back headphone if comfort, isolation and drive already work.
