Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone

This is a good explanation. It helps me understand the different ways we hear the same headphone.

I am quite sensitive to elevations in the upper midrange, and still feel very lucky to find the D8000, one of the few headphones I've heard that is very detailed and accurate, but doesn't give me a headache in the process...

My ears are not young anymore and I do come from reference sounding HP's so stock form of D8000 was a bit too polite. With stock form D8000 goes alive only if I increase volume quite a bit but I want to save my remaining hearing as I'm aging.

The only EQ I do sometimes is to lower the midbass for certain genres that don't need it which increases perceived resolution for me. But I like it for metal / rock as it is. It is perfect.

I think they threw out the 200 piece thing, because mine is 902 :)
Really? That's quite a surprise. Thought it was 300, 100 for Japan and 200 for the rest of the world.
It's getting a lot of praise so I woulnd't be surprised if they are selling more units. Some buyers might be angry because of that, but I wouldn't.
I buy a headphone to enjoy music, not for the sake of collecting or reselling. Id be happy if they sell more units cause that means that more people will be able to enjoy them

Well I hope their offer holds up. I just ordered a pair from them :eyes:. Thanks for the heads up :beerchug:
I really hope so.
Are you from Switzerland? They say they ship there on the web. I found this there:

"In the case of shipments to Andorra/Luxembourg/United Kingdom/Switzerland, the shopping cart system will automatically calculate the total amount, removing VAT and adding shipping costs accordingly. When the transport agency delivers your order, you must pay the taxes corresponding to your country."

Hope you don't have any problem. :)

Living in Switzerland dealing with customs is a regular thing for me. So no worries. It's very well setup here in Switzerland and I'm saving Spanish VAT on top and "only" have to deal with the Swiss 8% VAT. I just hope they really still have access to a pair. At that price I just couldn't resist.

Wow. If you save the spanish VAT and pay 8% you can gonna get a hell of a deal. Fingers crossed :)

Are You sure You got brand new, not open box unit? I think demo units from Final have numbers above 900. I had demo unit and it has serial number 906 and on the carton box was written “not for sell”. Maybe Your local store was out of stock and they knew it will be impossible to get new stock coz this is limited edition and they just sold out demo unit?

Well my dealer sure wasn't aware of this when he got the unit from the distributor, he's investigating this now. It was their last unit, but everything looks to be new.
