Know before you buy
Traditional planar magnetic drivers often suffer from the diaphragm touching the magnets at high volumes. The AFDS uses a thin layer of air to prevent this contact, allowing for deeper bass reproduction and a more open, natural soundstage.
While they are tuned for professional recording environments and louder volumes, their rich bass and clarity make them excellent for any listener who enjoys rock or pop genres. They are designed to handle high-fidelity audio across a wide range of applications.
Yes, the D8000 Pro Edition features newly developed open-type earpads specifically designed for prolonged comfort. While they weigh 523g, the ergonomic design helps distribute that weight effectively for extended use.
With an impedance of 60 Ω and a sensitivity of 98 dB/mW, these headphones are relatively efficient. However, to fully realize their potential for professional-grade sound fidelity, a high-quality dedicated headphone amplifier is recommended.
Final Audio designed these headphones with ease of repair in mind. The construction allows for straightforward maintenance, ensuring the headphones remain a long-term investment rather than a disposable product.
The package includes a 1.5m OFC black cable with a 3.5mm plug for more portable or desk-based setups, and a 3m OFC silver-coated cable with a 6.3mm plug for standard studio or home audio equipment.
