Final Audio A5000 Sound Isolating In-Ear Headphones

Final A5000

Earphones with Detachable Silver-Coated Cable

A5000 features an immersive soundstage, precise audio imaging, and a smooth frequency response with impressive depth to bass and treble. As the newest member of the Final A-Series, it includes an ultra-ergonomic silver-coated braided cable, and a comfortable lightweight build with premium Shibo finish.

6mm f-Core DU Dynamic Driver

A5000 is a step up in transparent sound, with its far-reaching bass, smooth midrange, and detailed yet controlled treble. The listening experience is immersive thanks to its wide and deep soundstage, while remaining comfortable and non-fatiguing for long-term listening.

In order to achieve this sound, Final developed the 6mmφ f-Core DU dynamic driver unit from scratch with the latest psychoacoustic research in mind, inspired by the flagship Final A8000. They designed not only parts for the driver unit — the diaphragm, voice coil, magnet, magnetic circuits, adhesives — but also the production machinery used in the manufacturing process. For the driver front housing, instead of the typical aluminum, they used brass, a material that is both highly resistant to the effects of magnetism and also boasts a high specific gravity. In order to increase the time response characteristic of the diaphragm, the voice coil employs a 30μ ultrathin CCAW, and minimal adhesive is used for assembly to thoroughly lighten the moving parts, improving listening comfort and reducing distortion.

Ergonomic fit with Premium "Shibo" Finish

Final A5000 is a lightweight earphone, carefully sculpted to fit many ears. Like a professional custom in-ear monitor used by musicians on stage, it is designed to be worn with the cable hung over the ear, minimizing cable noise and allowing a more secure insertion. By limiting the area that comes in contact with the ear, this product aims to limit discomfort over time by minimizing points of contact. Each earphone features a black Shibo finish. Shibo is an old Japanese word meaning a wrinkle on the surface of paper or leather. This inspired the soft-textured coating of the A5000, a beautiful surface that is superb at resisting dirt and fingerprints while sporting a subtle yet premium textured look that is reminiscent of a classic camera.
