FiiO has kicked off a new product wave with three fresh additions to its lineup: a pair of closed-back wooden headphones, a compact desktop DAC with Bluetooth support, and a pocket-sized wireless transmitter. The new FT13, B15 R2R, and Air Link are designed for listeners who want better sound across different setups, whether they’re at a desk, on the go, or somewhere in between.
First up are the FT13 closed-back headphones, which follow FiiO’s growing FT-series line. These ones are a bit special—they feature purpleheart wood earcups, a dense hardwood from South America that’s often used in guitars. Not only does it have a distinct acoustic character, but it also changes color over time—from a lighter brown to a deep purple.
On the inside, each earcup houses a 60mm dynamic driver with a W-shaped diaphragm. The design increases the surface area for vibrations, which helps deliver quick response and a balanced sound, from tight bass to crisp highs. To keep outside noise at bay, the FT13 uses a combo of damping tubes, a noise-reduction chamber, and sound-absorbing cotton, helping to reduce ambient sound by up to 26 dB.
The headphones are easy to drive, whether you’re using your phone, laptop, or a dedicated audio rig, thanks to their low impedance and high sensitivity. Comfort is also part of the package, with breathable memory foam earpads for longer listening sessions. And for cables? You’re covered. The FT13 comes with detachable Furukawa monocrystalline copper wiring, silver-plated for good measure, with both 3.5mm and 4.4mm connectors included.
FiiO FT13 Technical Specifications:
Price? $329 in the U.S., £269 in the U.K. Available now via Amazon, FiiO says it pairs especially well with their JM21 player or K11 R2R DAC, but it’ll work with pretty much anything.
Next up is the B15 R2R, a desktop DAC that brings R2R (ladder DAC) decoding to both wired and wireless systems. It’s part of FiiO’s compact hi-fi series, slotting in nicely alongside the K11 R2R and SR11 models.
If you’re connecting speakers, soundbars, or active monitors, the B15’s got you covered with both RCA and balanced XLR outputs. On the input side, it supports USB-C, TOSLINK optical, and coaxial. There’s also Bluetooth 5.4 on board, powered by the Qualcomm QCC5181 chipset, and support for LDAC and aptX Lossless—a solid option for high-res streaming from your phone or tablet.
A remote control is included for quick access, and if you want to fine-tune your sound, the FiiO Control app gives you a 10-band parametric EQ and a bunch of other settings. There’s also a choice between NOS (non-oversampling) and OS (oversampling) decoding modes if you want to experiment with how your music sounds.
FiiO B15 R2R DAC Technical Specifications:
The B15 R2R is coming in December 2025 and will sell for around $299 / £249.
Rounding out the trio is the FiiO Air Link, a tiny Bluetooth transmitter meant to make wireless audio easier (and better). It’s designed for use with USB-C devices—think laptops, desktops, smartphones, or even game consoles.
Despite its small size, the Air Link comes with Bluetooth 6.0 and wide codec support, including LDAC, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, and aptX Lossless. That means high-quality wireless sound with latency as low as 50 milliseconds, making it a decent option for gaming and video, not just music.
It has a multifunction button for pairing and codec switching, with RGB lights to show what’s active. There’s also a secondary USB-C port, so you can charge your phone and use the device at the same time. For settings and updates, you can use either the FiiO Control app or access it through a web browser.
FiiO Air Link Technical Specifications:
The Air Link is scheduled to drop in November 2025, priced at $59 / £49.99.
FiiO’s latest trio of products covers a lot of ground. The FT13 headphones bring style and substance with real wood and oversized drivers. The B15 R2R DAC gives you a Bluetooth-enabled, desktop-friendly audio hub with plenty of input/output options. And the Air Link offers a way to upgrade almost any USB-C device with high-quality wireless audio.
If you’re building a system or just looking to plug some gaps in your setup, there’s a good chance one of these tools could fit the bill, without breaking the bank or adding unnecessary complexity.
Let’s just say: if you're into audio, FiiO’s giving you a few new reasons to experiment.
