Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

[twiceboss]

Sony and final are like brother

So basically all B3 needs only two BA to sound good with enough resolution?

My E3000 have almost 200 hours of burn-in (let them play in for a week with a mp3 player I had laying around, connected to the charger so it doesn’t shut off)

I hope it’ll smooth out a tad

2 clicks above my normal listening volume.

2 clicks above my normal listening volume.

Which dap

Which dap

A veeeeery old Tom-tec mp3 player I got in 2007. I didn’t listen to it in years, but I put the volume 2 clicks up from my normal listening volume.

Max volume on that mp3 player: 31 clicks
Normal listening volume of mine on that mp3 player: 17 clicks
Burn-in volume: 19 clicks

Try with full volume

@mochill burn-in with different vol. make a difference?

At the end of the day, it’s not the number of drivers that is important (unlike the typical US brand thinking) but rather the tuning, the implementation. In the final audio range, other than the E5000, I would suggest trying the B1, B3 and of course the A8000. :）

Yea right now im eye ing on b3, a4000, and vr3000

Add: so after some readings and thoughts, vr3000 carries the same driver as a3k and a4k. With said that a4k is a baby of a8k, thus the fr of a4k would follow a8k tuning. Meanwhile, vr3000 is based on VR, spatial cues tuning which likely a flatter fr like e500. With the price of vr3000, im probably will blind buy vr3000 soon when i get any chance of finding it. Vr3000 $80 same driver of a4k and tuned to be flat is going to be massive for me.

Try with full volume

I think that will blast the earphones out, since 19 clicks is already unbearable for me (I listen to energetic music, so I listen to volumes slightly louder than the average audiophile)

How do they pair with ZX507?

I haven't paired them yet - I just got the ZX507 and its a Christmas present (to myself!) so put away till the day.

Review A3000 and A4000 in Polish language https://forum.mp3store.pl/topic/196081-final-audio-a3000-i-a4000-porównanie/

Any chance of getting VR3000? VR series would focus on spatial cues and that new driver would probably be better resolution for sure than e500.

Don't put it in your ears when burning in
