July 25, 2025 – SoulFi Audio, in association with Forté Distribution, is proud to announce the U.S. launch of the Fosi Audio i5 planar magnetic headphones. Pre‑orders are open now, with first shipments beginning August 5, 2025. A special introductory bundle with the Luxsin X9 all‑in‑one DAC/headphone amplifier is available at $1,499 USD—delivering a turnkey reference desktop system.

The Fosi Audio i5 is an open‑back, over‑ear design built around a 97 mm push‑pull planar magnetic driver featuring a 2 μm ultra‑thin diaphragm, low‑distortion “infinite baffle” acoustics, a purely resistive 28‑ohm load, and 98 dB/mW sensitivity for wide amplifier compatibility.

The i5 was first funded via Kickstarter in a campaign that ran from April 22 to June 1, 2025, smashing its HK$ 12,500 goal with HK$ 1,992,301 pledged—an astounding 15,938 % of target, from roughly 587 backers. The campaign generated over US $110,000 in the first 24 hours alone, clearly demonstrating strong early support from the audio community.

Engineered with a high‑powered symmetric neodymium magnetic matrix and nano‑level diaphragm technology, the i5 leverages precision acoustic structures to deliver high resolution, wide soundstage presentation, and lifelike transient response.

In the U.S., the Luxsin X9 is available as part of an optional bundle for those seeking an all‑in‑one, reference‑grade desktop setup. A fully balanced DAC, headphone amplifier, and preamplifier, its advanced platform includes HP‑EQ real‑time headphone compensation aligned to a database of thousands of models, adjustable digital crossfeed for speaker‑like imaging, and a flagship AKM 4499EX‑based conversion stage—providing powerful, low‑noise drive ideal for extracting the i5’s full performance.

The Fosi Audio i5 is available for pre‑order immediately. Shipping begins August 5, 2025.
