I currently own the K371 and am generally happy with them. I just don’t like how fragile they seem.

Fiio FT1 is out there now and I can’t find and FR graphs from the usual big reviewers. Head-FI has some from a reviewer. Not sure how trustworthy it is.

For seems better from what I read on the FT1.

Thoughts on these two in the closed back budget category?

Edit: just found yours @solderdude. Seemed like you were a fan of them generally.

New measurements on both GRAS and 5128:
 
From the impressions I've gathered FT1 is built better than K371 and sounds very competitive. Maybe K371 is tuned more versatile, while FT1 could be more appreciated by bass lovers.

Seems that way. I plan to stick with my K371.
