final A4000 Single High Precision Dynamic Driver IEM Earphones With Detachable Cable

Product Information

Now, if A4000 is so good, how about A3000? After all, the ingredients, housing, driver and cable, are all the same. True, except for the tuning! Final, with A3000, wanted to create an IEM which has the merits of A4000, as to balance, transparency, soundstage and image, but with a warmer touch. The extra warmth is reflected in the whole of the audio spectrum, and this makes A3000 to be less engaging, but more relaxing. It is not going to make you shake with the music, as A4000 will, but it is perfect for a session of an easy yet quality listening. It is also quite interesting that A3000 is much less dynamic than A4000; I am not sure if this is the result of the warmer sound signature of A3000 or independent of it.

These have the largest sound stage I ever heard in a IEM, None of the IEM's I owned in the past was this large. I def hear it being projected outside of my head in compression to my er2SE's which are inside my head. In a song with a lot of atmosphere it felt like I was surrounded by the notes of the pads and the other sounds if that make sense, I not sure how to explain it. I've been used these since June of 2022, for multiple hours per day. The comfort while wearing the A4k is unmatched in the IEM world, it's that simple. They're lighter than any conventional IEM you've ever seen, and their shape makes it so you don't feel the body of the earpiece at all. Even bullet style IEMs aren't as comforrtable, because of the deep insertion of the tip required with them. Final Audio uses a few different shapes for their earphones, the A4000 sporting their flatter, geometric look. Coming in a neutral, matte navy blue, the A4000 have an unmistakably unique and modern design. They fit very comfortably in the ear, and sit firm enough to keep them from accidentally falling out.I found this image about the GOXLR DAC but I don’t know if this is detailed enough to know whether or not it will allow the A4000 to shine. I’ve heard the ES100 doesn’t do them justice, and I can’t imagine the GOXLRs DAC will be much better. Though a little on the brighter side, that is to my preference, it has good bass, good mids and little more treble. Sound stage is huge. I find them better than Starfields. On Ares II and A50s amp, these sound really good with sound stage being little outside of head.

Highs: The SE215 has quite the energetic treble presentation, but due to the overwhelming bass, the treble is not as prominent. It’s fun, but a bit exhausting. Meanwhile, the A4000 has a bit of a bias on its treble presentation. It is not very obvious, but it does make it the cleaner IEM of the two. Detail and resolution aren’t hindered by an overwhelming bass presence. The A4000 is the more technical of the two, so for those who are into technical IEMs but with some added enjoyment, the A4000 is your cup of tea. Weird notch inside 2 pin that doesn’t work with every 2 pin cable. Very comfy, excellent build and fit. The exterior box of A4000 and A3000 is nicely minimal and inside it the user will find, besides the IEM and cable: Final Audio E4000: The A4000 is notably more resonant, however the E4000 easily matches if not outdoes it on the low end leveling and warmth. The E4000 is about as bright as the F3100 but warmer and smoother overall. It’s perhaps a bit less intensely defined than the A4000, but both still have ample detail retrieval. Driveability: I know I need to use the 4.4 port on my dongle immediately. The A4000 does shine with more power.Pros: Top clarity and depth in an extremely natural and effortless way; lows, mids and highs in an absolutely perfect balance; unrivalled transparency; maximal speed; extremely broad dynamic range; huge soundstage; beautiful holographic image; top class universal performer; beautiful and extremely well made in every sense of the way; great fit. With each earphone, you’re going to get a nice punchy bass that doesn’t overexcite, however in comparison the A4000 definitely feels more feeble than the A3000. They both offer good detail, but the A3000 has a meatier response. The textures are a lot more natural but avoid warmth as they start to flatten out by the midbass. Each bass has a true feel to them, the difference here is how much you hear of it. Unboxing : I really, really like final's approach to boxing. The stuff is simple, but much sturdier than the chi-fi stuff I get to review. The years of experience really do stand out. The way to make a PET diaphragm is to have a mold with cavities (holes), to which you insert the PET material and press the mold to create one diaphragm for each cavity. Obviously, more cavities means more diaphragms with every pressing; however, as always, there is a catch. The PET material is inserted to the mold from a small number of gates in the boundary of the mold, and it is subsequently channeled from one cavity to the next; as a result of this, cavities closer to a gate accept stronger pressure than cavities further away from a gate. This is the main reason behind a consistency issue between the diaphragms. For f-CORE DU, the number of cavities was reduced to 33% (!) of what a regular mold has; the result is diaphragms of high consistency, but the time needed to make the same number of diaphragms is three times as much. The midrange is among the most natural you can find, and by far the best at its price point. Although relaxed, it's an incredibly rich and faithful to instruments replay. Orchestrals and chamber music are a pleasure to listen to with this set.

Final Audio A4000 Review - Major HiFi

If you read my review of A8000, I explain why forged Beryllium is the most appropriate material for a driver diaphragm: Beryllium is very stiff compared, e.g., to Aluminium and Magnesium, and this ensures low distortion, i.e., it is not deformed throughout the whole frequency range; it is also very light, and this reduces the effect of inertia and allows the diaphragm to change direction as fast as possible. So, based on its stiffness and lightness, Beryllium is the ideal material for a diaphragm. The only weakness of Beryllium is that it is very brittle, so it has to be forged, and thismakes the diaphragm making process even more time- and money-consuming.

Almost clinical and perfect in their sound reproduction at the cost of losing some musicality and sounding sterile at times Final Audio has set a solid standard in terms of their soundstages go, but both the A3000 and A4000 have really impressed me. When I first heard the A3000 I didn’t think it could get any better, but the A4000 came and really muddied the waters. Both of these earphones have an equal amount of width, each expanding to about shoulder length, but the A4000 goes a lot deeper with its imaging and layering. The placement of each sound element is a lot more articulate and plays to a more immersive, holographic stereo image. Instruments and effects play over each other a lot more clearly than of the A3000, resonating with more of an exterior headspace. The A3000 still has one of the better stages for its price, but for only a little more you’ll be hearing something really special with the A4000. Do A4000 and A3000 have weaknesses? Don’t we all have? One could criticize the housing, which is ABS resin, the cable that is 2-Pin OFC cable, and probably a couple of other things. However, you forget all of these as soon as you put A4000 or A3000 in your ears, and you realize that you have two all-rounders with class leading performance, with the noted differences between them, at a fraction of what they should cost. I bet that if you try them, you will thank me for it! If I want to summarize A4000’s performance in a single statement, I would say that it has the sound signature of A8000; going a step further, I could say that A4000 achieves about 80% of what A8000 can do, which is really not a small feat. I know that it is hard to believe what I am saying, but this is what I feel; actually, at times, I thought that 80% might even be a bit conservative!
