final announced that the X8000, a flat magnetic field-type flagship headphone that had been being developed, became difficult to procure parts due to the end of the business of a company that had entrusted the production of parts for diaphragm parts, so "development and manufacturing were forced to be re-examined on a zero basis."

The X8000 is a headphone that was being developed with plans to apply the brake power technology of final's original diaphragm "AFDS: Air Film Damping System" adopted in the D series. This time, it is said that the production of film, which is the basis of that technology, has not been realized.

"We are looking for a new business operator, but it is unclear how long it will take to build equipment and pass on production technology, and at this time, it was a difficult decision to stop incorporating the X8000 with a planar magnetic field driver into the development schedule," commented.

"We will also consider developing drivers in a different way so that they can come to fruition in some way. We sincerely apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to the release of the X8000."

In addition, the D8000 DC/D8000 DC Pro Edition, which uses a similar planar magnetic field type driver, has not affected the production system because it has sufficient stock of parts.

I was definitely looking forward to the X8000, so this is unfortunate news!

Sucks. Hopefully they can find financing.
