Best deal 🛒 Final Audio Final – D8000 Pro Flagship Headphones ⭐

Final makes use of high precision Japanese engineering with focus on finesse and accuracy. Adopting cutting edge technology with high attention to detail and the highest quality of audio design, Final has carved a name for itself amongst audiophiles winning multiple awards over the years.

The team at Final strongly believes in creating earphones and headphones that are highly revered by people. Final earphones, like Swiss wristwatches and German Cars must be built to last forever and used as valuable antiques. The result of such careful consideration is a long-lasting, rational & emotionally valuable asset with the best sound quality and best design.

At the Final factory, the team of audio designers are dedicated to innovating audio products through research. Unlike other OEM manufacturers, they believe in designing their products in-house. This facilitates internal feedback between various teams and departments, encouraging the process for developing a long lasting product.

Final has a state-of-the-art company-owned “Final Store” located in Tokyo, Japan. This is open to all music lovers and audio enthusiasts to come in and experience Final’s range of headphones & earphones. The store proudly showcases their Japanese heritage and cultural artefacts in the form of Samurai suits. This represents Final’s deep respect for the audio purist.

Final introduces the D8000 Pro Edition, the company’s flagship-grade planar-magnetic headphone. Innovative engineering and precision are reflected in every element of the headphone. D8000 Pro Edition can reproduce sound that combines the delicate high-frequency range of a planar magnetic driver while the low-frequency ranges are open, feeling more like a dynamic headphone. Traditionally planar magnetic headphones use a zigzag pattern coil, Final designed a spiral coil to significantly improve the bass response. This is possible by incorporating the newly developed damping system to make sure the headphones outperform any planner magnetic or dynamic headphone. The Air Film Dampening System solved the problem of the diaphragm contacting the magnet, so it was possible to achieve sound quality that has both the sensitive high ranges of planar magnetic models and the volume and open feel bass tones of dynamic models. With this technology embedded D8000 Pro Edition redefines the sound and possibilities of what a headphone can do. Final have tuned D8000 Pro Edition using the Air Film Damping System (AFDS) exclusively for professional use upon the request of recording engineers who wish to listen to louder sound volumes than ordinary consumers.

The team at Final realised that for the D8000 Pro Edition headphones to work flawlessly, they had to apply changes to the existing ear pad design to best suit the headphone. This is mainly done because the reproduction band of bass frequencies has been extended through AFDS, and it has become possible to sufficiently reproduce bass frequencies even with ear pads that are not sealed tightly, with driver unit ability. Considering this, the ear pads for the D8000 Pro Edition have been designed and developed in a manner to feature highly breathable foam and specialised fibres. This offers great comfort while wearing and also maintains the sound quality. The overall effect on the sound quality of the headphone is a superbly rich and open sound signature.

The team at Final have tuned the D8000 Pro Edition differently from that featured in D8000. The retuning leaves the delicate sound quality of the D8000 intact, pushing the Air Film Damping System (AFDS) per actual use for professional sound recordings upon the request of recording engineers who wish to listen to louder sound volumes than ordinary consumers. The tuning takes into consideration the human auditory characteristic (The Fletcher Munson Curve) by which low-frequency range becomes easier to hear as volume increases. The D8000 Pro Edition provides sound quality perceived to be of higher clarity when listening to rock, pop and other selections of music featuring a narrow dynamic range in contrast to the D8000, which is suitable for classical music and other genres that feature a wide dynamic range.

The D8000 Pro Edition from Final is designed with modular elements which allow disassembly, easy repairs and future upgrades. This design has been implemented keeping in mind the factor of being able to use the headphones for a long time and if any issue arises, can solve it with ease. Almost all the parts can be disassembled with screws ensuring that the product can be used for many years after purchase. With this future proof design and the technology embedded in the Final D8000 Pro Edition, they have been awarded at the VGP 2019 SUMMER awards in Japan.

Final D8000 Pro Edition features a newly designed housing that is cut with high precision. This is done to accommodate the Air Film Dampening Systems high accuracy. Because of this, the aluminium magnesium alloy housing has been machined with great precision and further reinforced by applying a leather paint finish that is used for high-end cameras. Additionally, the use of selected materials and housing design achieves a balance between volume and clarity while preventing sound leakage.

Final D8000 Pro Edition comes bundled with two high quality, newly developed detachable cables for ease of use with various devices. D8000 Pro Edition includes an OFC black cable with a 3.5mm mini-plug termination with a 1.5m length for portable use and an OFC silver coated cable with a 6.35mm standard plug termination for home listening. The team at Final have also included a stylish new headphone case too along with the cables. The case provides protection and is convenient to carry the headphones with you.

The D8000 Pro Edition headphones are manufactured at Final’s head office in Kawasaki with a lot of pride. Together with the precision of individual parts, the precision involved in the assembly process depends on the precision of the tools known as, jigs, that assist in the assembly process. To be able to fine-tune even the slightest of irregularities in jig precision during the assembly process, the team at Final designed and manufactured production jigs and measurement jigs themselves. The team developed manufacturing apparatus such as a diaphragm formation machine and a diaphragm tension meter in-house, specifically for the D8000. To create truly good products, it is necessary to get to the core of the manufacturing process of parts close to the raw material. By controlling everything together, from sourcing the raw materials through to the assembly of the product, Final has achieved high-quality products.
