Headphone Zone Collaborates with FiiO to launch a budget-friendly in-ear monitor (IEM) tailored for the Indian audiophile community. Presenting to you the Headphone Zone X FiiO JD1 In-Ear Monitors. Headphone Zone and FiiO have come together to collaborate and launch an IEM that is
accessible to everyone and delivers exceptional performance. This is a very special project that was in the making for quite a while. In today’s India, there is a massive population out there who love their music but just a handful of them have really experienced their music and on a good pair of headphones and this is the exact gap Headphone Zone aims to bridge with the new JD1. FiiO, a brand highly acclaimed, and popular amongst the worldwide audiophile community for their excellence in creating high performance, high quality and affordable and innovative products for discerning audiophiles everywhere. The Headphone Zone team believed if there was any brand that they could trust to do justice to their idea of bringing an IEM that is designed to cater to Indian audiophiles, it had to be FiiO. And here we have an IEM that promises so much at a super affordable price point. The FiiO JD1 is available in two variants, a 3.5mm jack for anyone to be able to use with their Hi-Res Dongle DAC and the other which is the Type-C variant that comes with the built-in DAC with DSP technology.
“We’re on a mission to bring audiophile sound to everyone in India. We now have Headphone Zone’s very first co-branded in-ear monitors with FiiO. This has been a project many months in the making and I am so happy that it is ready to to be heard by India’s audiophile community today. The fact that you can get these IEMs for less than ₹1,500 makes it an absolute winner in my eyes, and one that we are proud to have the Headphone Zone logo featured on the product.
Anyone new to the hobby should get these as their first in-ear monitors. Our hope is that with this IEM alone we’ll have a lot of new people joining the hobby and finding that they’re going to be able to rediscover music like they’ve never heard,” says Raghav Somani, Founder and CEO of Headphone Zone.
The Headphone Zone X FiiO JD1 is now available to order exclusively on Headphone Zone (www.headphonezone.in) at an affordable price point of ₹ 1,499/-
Everything You Need To Know About the Headphone Zone x FiiO JD1

perfect for those who enjoy impactful bass without sacrificing balance and clarity.
A new powerful driver, designed to democratize high-end audio.
FiiO’s designed a completely new driver for the J series of affordable IEMs featuring an innovative asymmetrical internal and external magnetic circuit design, a technology that has trickled down from FiiO’s highly acclaimed FT3 Headphones and their flagship IEMs. Compared to the traditional single magnet, this asymmetrical design effectively increases magnetic field density around the voice coil giving you a more powerful sound, with faster transient responses. In short, kick-ass bass and superb details.

The five preset sound tunings are:
1. Default – A balanced sound signature truest to the IEM.
2. Powerful Bass – With added Bass extension
