FiiO FA1
IN-EAR HEADPHONES
$179
Unlike most in-ear headphones that use multiple drivers, the FiiO FA1 uses a single balanced armature driver for each ear bud, said to provide better clarity and vocal presence.
Each ear bud weighs just 4.5g and its outer translucent shell features a “ripple-effect” texture for a clean and minimalist look. The headphones come with a waterproof carrying case, which contains a cleaning brush, three pairs of ear tips optimised for bass and three more pairs for balanced sound.
Uniq Flex
CABLE
$34.90, available on Friday
If you have a USB-C-only laptop and an iPhone, you might want to get the Uniq Flex cable. This USB-C-to-Lightning cable allows you to connect both to each other without the need for an adaptor.
Furthermore, the Flex is tested (for up to 50,000 times) to withstand 360-degree bending at its ends. The cable is also spiral-braided with ultra-high tensile nylon to prevent fraying.
