Generation & platform
The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?
Same generation
The Wavefun Wave Pro X is 2 years newer, but it is the same generation of hardware: nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. The platform is level; the newer hardware shows up in convenience features instead - the Wavefun Wave Pro X adds USB-C.

What reviewers said
FiiO Ft1 Pro
The FiiO FT1 Pro is an open-back planar magnetic headphone that delivers a smooth, non-fatiguing sound with controlled bass and a balanced tuning, making it a strong value in its price range. While it lacks active noise cancellation and relies on a wired connection, its 95mm planar drivers and 4.4mm balanced output cater to audiophiles seeking detail and comfort over extended sessions. Its main trade-offs are a modest soundstage and less incisive treble, but it remains a compelling entry-level planar option.
- Pro:Smooth, non-fatiguing tuning
- Pro:Controlled and detailed bass
- Pro:Excellent value for planar performance
- Con:Soundstage feels limited
- Con:Treble lacks vibrancy
- Con:No active noise cancellation
