About this deal

A3000, on the other hand, does not have the “reference” and engaging presentation of A4000, but instead it is warmer and relaxing, although less dynamic than A4000. However, if you prefer a warmer presentation, you will find it much better than many IEMs that you have tried so far, which is mainly due to its transparency, soundstage and image.

Final Audio A5000 – Again, the bass is so good here. Deep and textured. There are touches of sibilance her voice but it’s not too bad. It is a silicon carry case that can be rolled up and stored easily. The earphone body is softly fixed with a dome-shaped thin silicone lid. Specs model number Other things of note is that cable included with the A5000 is a vast improvement over the A4000 cable. Cable swapping looks to be an easier proposition which was my biggest complaint about the A4000. Both iem’s are inherently travel friendly due to their light weight and comfortable fit. The A5000 is equipped with the f-Core DU driver, which was developed and designed entirely in-house, including parts and production equipment. The sound quality was designed based on final's unique evaluation method established during the development of the flagship earphone A8000. In addition to the so-called "transparent sound" that allows you to clearly hear sounds that are localized at a distance, you can hear even the finer sounds in the mid-low range, giving each sound a sense of depth. I can. In addition, a newly designed 2-Pin soft silver-coated cable developed for the A5000 is standard equipment. The braided cable makes it easy to handle, and you can feel the A5000's sound even more clearly.The gripes: One of the thing I discovered is that my A4000 unit has reverse polarity on both sides. Some may say it doesn’t matter as long as it’s not out of phase with each other, but in my experience, it does affect the staging for worse. Normally, I can try to reverse the cable since my cable doesn’t have earhooks. But with how A4000 is built (look at the notch in the cable port), it can only use the cable as is and accept the fate of it being reverse polarity

One of the things I always like about testing out new gear is the chance to discover new elements in favorite songs, as well as to expand my listening into some new areas. I've often heard it repeated that Japanese headphones and IEMs are tuned for Jpop, and while my personal pop music tastes lay to the other side of the East Sea, I decided to dig into some Jpop as well during my time with the A4000. Going with AKB48's Eien Pressure, Last Idol's Nanbitomo, High School 3-C Idol Club's Jibunno Kotoga Wakanarai, I can say that these do excel at the genre, but they're by no means limited to it, and are excellent all-rounders whether I was listening to Willie Nelson, Maynard Ferguson, Pink Fantasy, or Bach. Midrange is well balanced in relation to the other spectrum. It does not sound congested although historically, many instruments and voices tend to crowd these frequency bands. The standard against which everything should be measured. I think it deserves that strong of a statement, because realistically it's what I always end up doing. "Is it as comfortable as my A4000 ?" If not, then I'm not going to grab that next IEM as much as the A4k I already have. "Is it as light as my A4000 ?" If not, I'm not going to wear it for long, and end up not touching that next thing because of that. "Does it sound as good as my A4000 ?" If yes, then that IEM is certainly special and deserves a review. While far from cheap the A4000 sits at a reachable price point for many and challenges products twice as expensive in many ways (weight, practicality, ease of use) or even any IEM on the market in others (soundstage, imaging, comfort) The Spring2 is one of those “new” offerings of which I spoke in the MS4 blurb. With a narrower soundstage than the MS4 and A4K, that does not dissuade from a thoroughly engaging sound. Lifted guitar work, and a solid if not too deep reaching bass line is countered by distinct and clean treble note. While that bass is not the deepest, its speed is unparalleled here to me, and with that comes a control of the signature, which puts it at the top of this category. Or near. In my review of the Spring2, I called it the first IEM at this price to make me think twice about my most recommended. That recommendation still holds and the one in which it nearly dethroned is the Finschi. I also throw the MS4 in that range as well.The sound quality was designed based on Final's unique evaluation method established during the development of the flagship earphone A8000.

similar to https://drop.com/buy/drop-mrspeakers-ether-cx-closed-headphones?utm_source=linkshare&referer=FTSS2S NEWLY DESIGNED 2-PIN SOFT SILVER COATED CABLE​The attached cable is a newly designed product newly developed for the A5000. 8-core silver-coated OFC wire is woven into it, making it soft and easy to handle. The 2-Pin connector is a high-precision product developed in-house and uses the φ0.78 standard, which is considered to be the most versatile. The cavity of the A4K is not only made of thermoplastic instead of resin, but designed to mimic a larger listening area, much like speaker placement in a living room. Following the acclaimed A8000, the A3K & A4K mimic the shape, but change the shells. And the technology is impressive although rough. More on that below.

Well this reputation is kinda deserved, but at the same time it's not. The 800S sounds much wider than other headpones, even some twice or thrice the price (the Utopia comes to mind). The A4k sounds much wider than other IEMs, even some 10x the price (use the A8000 as a comparison). But this similarity doesn't mean the A4k has anywhere near the soundstage of the 800S, we're far from it. The chassis of the A5000 is in the same shape as the A4000/A3000, it's a nice angular shape that meets with your concha in a surprisingly comfortable fashion. It's comfortable for my ears but your mileage may vary.

IE200 – Very even sound. A bit more mellow. They sound very similar. The IE200 feels warmer. With more mid bass and lower mid presence. Now, if A4000 is so good, how about A3000? After all, the ingredients, housing, driver and cable, are all the same. True, except for the tuning! Final, with A3000, wanted to create an IEM which has the merits of A4000, as to balance, transparency, soundstage and image, but with a warmer touch. The extra warmth is reflected in the whole of the audio spectrum, and this makes A3000 to be less engaging, but more relaxing. It is not going to make you shake with the music, as A4000 will, but it is perfect for a session of an easy yet quality listening. It is also quite interesting that A3000 is much less dynamic than A4000; I am not sure if this is the result of the warmer sound signature of A3000 or independent of it. Going in to the nitty gritty Bass on the A5000 is impactful and dynamic. Certainly enough for all genres. The bulk of the bass here is from the sub-bass and lower mid bass. This allows for a cleaner mid range presentation. EQUIPPED WITH IN-HOUSE DEVELOPED DRIVER "F-CORE DU"​ Achieves transparent sound with crystal clear clarity and deep sound Soundstage: What really sets this IEM apart from my (admittedly limited) experience with others is how wide the soundstage is. On the Fairfield Four's Roll Jordan Roll the soundstage blooms out nice and wide as it should about halfway through the song. On Yello's La Habanera the various instruments and percussion are placed nice and wide, often seeming to emanate from outside of the head. Listening to orchestral recordings it was easy to close my eyes and image the full orchestra set in front of me.SOUND IMAGING is great. Thanks to this transparency of timbre, we can dig and travel in the layers of sound as well as clearly discern the static location of the instruments. Inside the silicone case houses the A5000 itself, paired with final's new OFC Silver-coated cable. Build Both the Final A5000 and Moondrop Blessing 3 perform exceptionally well for their price points when it comes to their spatial character. The Blessing 3 finds significant width that’s distinctly felt on hard pans; and while it pushes more depth into it’s stage than the Blessing 2 and manages a modest holographic character, parts mostly stay close to the face if not quite on the face. It also possesses a pretty satisfying internal 3D quality that places parts inside of my head rather than around it. Final Audio has a winning design for their A series IEMs. It’s very simplistic, but they have one of the most ergonomic build on the market. The way it sits in your ear is completely natural, and they are practically weightless. The A5000 might not get any style points, aside from its new silver coated cable, but when you’re wearing them for long periods of time you’ll see its value.
