Thank you for this great review. I also own the D8000 and agree with your findings. You also choose excellent music for this review.
Do you know, where the carry case can be bought online?

Thank you for your kind words. I would check with Audio46.com and see if they can order one for you. I spoke with the US distributor about a month ago and he mentioned they weren’t in stock yet, but they would be shortly. He also told me the case is laser cut to perfectly fit the D8000. There is a picture of it on final’s website under the Accessories tab; it looks really nice.

By the way, for those who live in earthquake territory, when the D8000 is placed on its stand, pushing the cups up all the way to the underside of the top bar locks the headphone in place so it is unlikely to fall off if shaken. Something I think about living in California.

Just looked at the case, I agree, It looks super nice! And nice review too!
