Final announce the 3D printed LAB II and "the world's smallest earphone", the F7200, at Munich HIGH END 2016

 
 ​

The Japanese manufacturer wowed visitors to the HIGH END event with their mix of technological innovations and luxurious styling.​

 
 

LAB II - 3D-Printed Perfection

 
 ​

Already know for pushing the boundaries of earphone design, Final have produced their most technically advanced model yet with the LAB II.  Created using 3D printing technology, the LAB II's titanium housing features a full open-backed design that allows for a vast soundstage and unprecedented control of bass frequencies.

A 15mm dynamic driver is paired with a 3D-printed mechanical equaliser that optimises the diaphragm for spectacular audio performance.

The LAB II will be available from August 2016 and will be limited to 200 pieces worldwide.​

 
 
 
 

F7200 - "The World's Smallest Earphone"

 
 ​

Final have garnered a reputation for creating beautiful but heavy headphones, with the SONOROUS X weighing in at around 630g and the Piano Forte X at 38g. With the F7200, Final have broken that mould and created the "world's smallest earphone".  

Despite being made of stainless steel, the housing of the F7200 is only 1.5cm long and only weighs 2g. This tiny earphone housing allows the listener to position the earphone deeper in the ear canal, situating the driver closer to the ear drum itself. This unique fit means that the F7200 is able to deliver impressive bass from a single balanced armature driver.​

 
 
 ​

Like the LAB II, the F7200 features a replaceable cable with an MMCX connector and Final's own silver coated cable. A variety of eartips are supplied, allowing the listener to experiment with how far in to the ear canal the F7200 can be positioned.

The F7200 will be available in July 2016, alongside two other models, the F4100 and F3100 at a range of affordable price points.​
