Fiio FT1’s Box

I recently purchased a new set of wired audiophile Fiio FT1 headphones. I haven’t used them enough yet to form a solid opinion on their sound quality, but one thing I can already appreciate is the packaging. The box is surprisingly well-designed — it fits both my SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7x and my wife’s JBL Quantum Live 770 perfectly.

I got the Fiio to reduce the stuff I carry in my backpack everyday and to improve my audio experience during work hours. I did, in a sense, reduce the stuff I carry but in a slightly different way. Both the SteelSeries and the JBLs come without a box and look a bit flimzy. With this box, I will no longer worry about them.

I’ll post about the audio experience with the Fiio later. So far, they sound good, very similar to Arctis Nova but with an exaggerated bass. I’m not sure if I want to EQ that down or will get used to it. I’ll post a review in a few months.

It’s getting harder to post flowers, the fall is near.

Malyovitsa

We returned to the ski zone Malyovitsa last weekend with the hope to go a bit further up the mountain than before. The stars didn’t align to achieve that but we still had a nice and fruitful hike.

The fruit:

BTW, if you decide to visit the area of Malyovitsa, Hotel Malyovitsa is much better than Hotel Alpinist. Both are similarly renovated and priced but Alpinist was destined to be a hut, not a hotel.
