Final Audio Unveils Flagship D7000 Planar Magnetic Headphones
Final uses High End Munich 2024 to reveal its new D7000 flagship headphones.
If you're a fan of planar magnetic headphones, you'll most likely have heard of the Japanese brand Final Audio and its famous D8000 headphones. The company has just launched a new pair of flagship headphones, the D7000, with upgrades to the technology inside.
The driver of the Final D7000 has been enhanced, and the Air Film Damping System (AFDS) technology has been updated to ensure extended reproduction of bass frequencies. This means that unlike most planar headphones, the Final D7000 can deliver deep, rich bass without the risk of distortion, even at high playback volumes.
Without worrying about the diaphragm coming into contact with the magnet due to AFDS, the frequency of bass tones that the driver produces can be lowered without distortion.
A new pinna-aligned diffuser has been developed for the D7000 headphones, designed to deliver consistent sound quality. This is housed in a lightweight, machined aluminium magnesium alloy housing.
Final has also developed a new open-type earpad with a unique washi material, a traditional Japanese paper. The brand claims this material offers superior durability, air permeability, moisture control, and antibacterial/odour-eliminating properties.
The headband also uses this material, and Final touts that this breathable material provides a natural openness that utilises the driver's bass capacity.
As for accessories, the Final D7000 comes in a protective carrying case that can be locked for extra security and a 3m OFC cable that terminates in a 6.3mm headphone plug.
The Final D7000 headphones are now available at an RRP of £2,999.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
