The FT3 driver gasket is plated with beryllium. This not only results in a lighter gasket (and thus a lighter driver), but also a more rigid gasket better able to handle the movement of the large dynamic driver for less distortion.
The diaphragm of the FT3 is made of DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon), – which is both highly sturdy and lightweight compared to other diaphragm materials. This means that the FT3 driver is less prone to breakup and thus nonlinear distortion, while also having an extremely extended frequency response and improved soundstage.
The FT3 was designed with great sound as the primary goal, and features 350Ω impedance to achieve that. Compared to lower impedance headphones, higher impedance headphones more effectively filter out noise to the listener resulting in a purer sound with higher signal-to-noise ratio performance.
Key features of the FT3 include: -- 60mm large dynamic driver -- Beryllium-plated gasket + DLC diaphragm -- 350Ω high impedance -- Asymmetric internal and external magnetic circuit system -- Open-back design -- Furukawa monocrystalline copper cable -- Aluminum alloy construction -- Lightweight hollow design -- 4 different audio plugs included
