At this point, it’s starting to feel like FiiO drops a new product every time you blink. Just a few weeks ago, they launched the FT13 wooden headphones, the B15 R2R DAC, and the Air Link—a Bluetooth dongle so small it’s probably hiding in your couch cushions. Now they’re back again with three more: two open-back headphones—the JT3 and JT7—and a desktop Bluetooth receiver, the BR15, designed to add wireless convenience and serious decoding muscle to your setup.
Let’s break it all down.
If you’ve been curious about planar magnetic headphones but held off because of the price, the JT7 might be worth a closer look. At $119.99 now at Amazon, it’s one of the most affordable planar options out there right now.
Built entirely in-house by FiiO’s Jade Audio team, the JT7 features a large 95 × 86 mm planar driver and a symmetrical push-pull magnet system. That combo is designed to deliver clean, detailed audio with a natural sense of space. To give the low-end more presence, FiiO also added what it calls the FiiO Elastic System (F.E.S.)—a structural tweak to the diaphragm that helps it move more air and give bass frequencies extra depth.
At just 318 grams, the JT7 is fairly lightweight for a planar model, and it’s foldable for easy storage. You also get detachable cables—a 3.5 mm single-ended and a 4.4 mm balanced one—as well as replaceable earpads and a Velcro headband cushion.
On the technical side, the JT7 has a 7Hz–40kHz frequency range, 92dB/mW sensitivity, and an 18-ohm impedance, which means it’s relatively easy to drive and pairs well with portable gear like FiiO’s M21 music player.
Not ready to make the leap to planar? That’s where the JT3 comes in. Also open-back and priced even lower at $69.99, the JT3 uses a more familiar 50 mm dynamic driver setup.
The driver is built from a PEK + PU composite diaphragm and paired with a high-tension CCAW voice coil to keep things tight and responsive across the frequency range. There’s also a brass damping ring inside the housing, which helps reduce distortion and brings out more subtle details—especially in the mids and highs.
The build includes velvet earpads, dual 3.5 mm connectors, and aluminum-magnesium alloy grilles. It weighs 330 grams, so still light enough for long listening sessions without feeling bulky. Like the JT7, the JT3 is tuned to cover a wide frequency range (10Hz–40kHz), but it’s a little less sensitive at 97dB/mW and has a higher 80-ohm impedance, meaning it might need a bit more power to shine. FiiO recommends pairing it with their JM21 music player.
Unlike many budget headphones that load up on flashy extras, the JT3 takes a “put the money where the sound is” approach. Most of the cost goes into the components that affect audio, not accessories or branding.
Finally, there’s the BR15 Bluetooth receiver. If you’ve got an existing hi-fi or speaker setup but want to add modern wireless capabilities, this compact box might be what you’re looking for.
Priced at $199.99 and launching in December 2025, the BR15 is built around Qualcomm’s QCC5181 Bluetooth 5.4 chip and supports both LDAC and aptX Lossless—two of the highest-quality Bluetooth codecs currently available. That means if your phone or music player supports these formats, you can stream near-lossless audio straight to your setup.
Inside the BR15 is a true 24-bit R2R DAC, made with a precision resistor array. This kind of digital-to-analog conversion is popular with listeners who prefer smoother, more natural sound over sharper, more clinical alternatives. It’s not something you usually find at this price point—or in such a compact form.
As far as connections go, the BR15 is flexible:
It also includes a 10-band PEQ (parametric EQ) that you can access through the FiiO Control app on your laptop or phone. You get full system-wide EQ control without having to stack extra boxes or add-ons.
To make setup easy, the BR15 includes its own internal power supply and comes with a remote control. Whether you're hooking it up to bookshelf speakers or a full hi-fi rig, it’s designed to keep the footprint small while offering more control than your average Bluetooth receiver.
Here’s the breakdown:
These new releases don’t pretend to be giant killers, but they don’t have to be. They’re affordable, purpose-built, and aimed at folks who just want to hear their music in a better way without overcomplicating things.
