Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

I did not manage to find an explanation about sound signature differences between A3K and A4K. Can someone enlighten me?

Hello! This is using google translate, from https://www.fujiya-avic.co.jp/blog/detail/319:
  • The sound quality of the A3000 is localized so that each note emerges with a contour in a relaxed sound, and you can hear the fine touch of the guitar and the delicate vibrato of vocals. Overwhelmingly natural sound that is localized so that each sound emerges with a contour in a relaxed sound.
  • Since each note of the A4000 is extremely clear, you can listen to vocals and each instrument as if you were picking them up, and because the sound rises well, you can hear the rhythm clearly. It's a sound. Sound that allows you to clearly feel the rhythm of vocals and each instrument, and gives you a feeling of exhilaration of music that naturally starts to move.
Haha, I don't take responsibility for the translation! Hope this helps!

Yeah, those descriptions don't mean much to me, ha. I'm just eagerly awaiting some reviews, which hopefully will start appearing in the coming weeks.

I understand that A3K is mid-centric or slightly L-shaped and A4K a baby-A8K

If that's really true, then it's a must buy.
NQA
:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
It’s just my interpretation based on an internet translation engine... not much weight to put on these words for the time being, but it would make sense for Final to offer a bit of the A8K DNA to budget-friendly customers. In that case, I am more interested in the A3K that might offer a smoother signature.

Is it normal for the E3000 to sound very bass light out of the box? Listening to it for 5 minutes now, and it's lighter in bass than my E500, which has around 20 hours on it.
The E3000 should sound really warm on bass, and you can clearly feel the weight and rumble. Even when it just out of box, probably your set has some QC problem.

Confirmed. The bass on the right channel is so much stronger, that it's not even funny.

The hell is this, Final Audio..
Drivers match on single dynamic driver is hard to do, especially for the price. But if you have really big problem, you may like to contact your dealer.

Yep, sended my dealer a return request. The bass on the right earpiece is a lot louder than my cheaper Final E500, but the left earpiece is even like 5 db weaker than the Final E500.

This is simply unacceptable. Is it possible for the drivers to even out after burn-in?

There are not possible it will be fix after the burn in :sweat_smile: hope you local dealer will accept it.

Thanks for sharing the video. It is a live streaming video of e-earphone Nagoya.

She is saying that A3000 sounds like upgraded version of E1000. (Rather than the sound signature of E3000)
Also saying that A4000 has sound dispersing outwards while A3000 has sound coming to you like jellyfish. (Its her word, not mine.)
Saying that A3k like monitor type sound with some more bass.
The guy is saying that A4000 is mid/high centric.

I myself haven't heard either, so just what I heard from the video.
