In China, they launched at about $148, with international sales handled through FiiO’s official AliExpress store. This isn’t a new announcement, but the actual start of sales, which were first shown in February.
In China, the JadeAudio JT9 launched on August 13 for around $148. While FiiO hasn’t set an official international dollar price, you can find them on AliExpress for $164.

In our review of the JadeAudio JT9, we’ll see if a smartphone can drive them without a dedicated amplifier. FiiO claims a sensitivity of 95 dB/mW and says they’re easy to drive. We’ll also investigate if the sapphire-aluminum diaphragm coating and 28-nm process technology, which FiiO says improve detail retrieval and voice coil durability, make a noticeable difference. Finally, we’ll assess the comfort of these 365-gram open-back headphones, as FiiO claims they don’t exert the typical pressure on your head associated with this style.
