About this deal

The A4000 arrived boxed in a lift-top style box with a graphic of the earpieces on front and specs on the reverse. Lifting the top reveals a round clamshell style silicone case and box with tips cradled in a foam support. The earpieces and cable are inside the case with each earpiece bagged to prevent scratches in transit. The Tip case houses 5 different sizes of E-series silicone tips. Foams are not provided. Under the silicone case is another small clear bag with the snap-on ear-hooks contained in it and beneath it is the documentation. The Silicone case is a unique style with one convex and one concave side and 3 latching points around the outer edge. It holds the earpieces and attached cable very tightly so carrying anything extra in the case is not possible. Also there is no dedicated connecting point for a clip or caribiner to attach the case to a bag or keys. Imaging and stage were very good. Placement of instruments was spot on, and the stage was neither too wide nor too in your head. The TONALITY is vivid, detailed, clear and precise, not neutral because it has a small rise in the bass and high mids, rather a well-balanced W curve. One could say analytical too, but not cold or artificial. It is less well balanced than the A8000, but extremely cohesive and even hyper-realistic. Despite amplified bass, there is almost no bleed. In fact, the A4000 surprises ad infinitum, due to a stunning versatility that surely comes from this little bass boost. Soekris DAC1421: Similar to the Spectre X in that it is warm, lush and detailed; pairs nicely with the Final Audio A4000. A3000, on the other hand, does not have the “reference” and engaging presentation of A4000, but instead it is warmer and relaxing, although less dynamic than A4000. However, if you prefer a warmer presentation, you will find it much better than many IEMs that you have tried so far, which is mainly due to its transparency, soundstage and image.

Both the Final A5000 and Moondrop Blessing 3 perform exceptionally well for their price points when it comes to their spatial character. The Blessing 3 finds significant width that’s distinctly felt on hard pans; and while it pushes more depth into it’s stage than the Blessing 2 and manages a modest holographic character, parts mostly stay close to the face if not quite on the face. It also possesses a pretty satisfying internal 3D quality that places parts inside of my head rather than around it. Geshelli Labs Archel 2: https://geshelli.com/shop/ols/produ...tal-case-b5ca9a41-69ed-4786-98b2-18f72ae911bf The cable is awesome, although I see people online complaning because of it's flimsiness. Coming from multi braided, rubberized cables that are way too heavy and common in cheap & expensive IEMs, I find it a breeze of fresh air. It's light. It doesn't tangle. It doesnt catch on any fabric, doesn't twist on itself. It's perfection. However I agree that it's not the most confidence inducing piece of kit ever, being plain plastic and quite thin.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. IE600 – Even more bass versus the Final Audio. Very good. More elliptical sound stage but not radically different. A bit less treble energy but still a good sense of clarity and detail Going in to the nitty gritty Bass on the A5000 is impactful and dynamic. Certainly enough for all genres. The bulk of the bass here is from the sub-bass and lower mid bass. This allows for a cleaner mid range presentation. Others have listed the specs and have provided detailed photos (I actually forgot to take photos while using it, so I just have my boxing/unboxing photos to share) so I'll skip those parts. Well this reputation is kinda deserved, but at the same time it's not. The 800S sounds much wider than other headpones, even some twice or thrice the price (the Utopia comes to mind). The A4k sounds much wider than other IEMs, even some 10x the price (use the A8000 as a comparison). But this similarity doesn't mean the A4k has anywhere near the soundstage of the 800S, we're far from it.

Final Audio A5000 Comparison Review MoonDrop Blessing 3 vs. Final Audio A5000 Comparison Review

Their musicality remains quite serious and mature, but never boring: they are iem's that wake up with their alert rendering, always focus. In short, this iem cooks the A4000 in almost every way I see, with my library. Timbre was way more accurate on the A4000. The stage, although not as deep, but way wider and more holographic. Bass is noticeably thumpier with better texture, although A4000’s bass have faster transient. Female vocal sounds more lively and correct compare to A4000. Instruments like hihats and cymbal strike sounds straight up better than the A4000 due to better sustain and decay, which also means I observe more micro details on the Oxygen. Piano sounds nice, although it sounds a bit veil. Violin sounds lively, precise with a decent bite from the bass to boot At the end of it, the A5000 is a gem of an IEM especially at its price. Featuring a gloriously balanced sound, enchantingly beautiful imaging and ergonomics. This is a full-featured IEM for those looking beyond entry-level.

IN-HOUSE DEVELOPED DRIVER UNIT "F-CORE DU" INSTALLED​

At first, I really struggled with the fit on these. Sometimes I have issues with my right ear with IEMs but this one seemed harder than most. It may be the angle of the nozzle. I also have issues with 64 Audio IEMs. I’m not sure if it is the shape of the shell or the angle of the nozzle. I tried 15 different tips of various brands, styles, and sizes. The medium final audio tips with deeper insertion seemed to get the best sound and fit. A good fit is essential for these. They have little forgiveness for a bad seal.

The A5000 is equipped with the f-Core DU driver, which was developed and designed entirely in-house, including parts and production equipment. The sound quality was designed based on final's unique evaluation method established during the development of the flagship earphone A8000. In addition to the so-called "transparent sound" that allows you to clearly hear sounds that are localized at a distance, you can hear even the finer sounds in the mid-low range, giving each sound a sense of depth. I can. In addition, a newly designed 2-Pin soft silver-coated cable developed for the A5000 is standard equipment. The braided cable makes it easy to handle, and you can feel the A5000's sound even more clearly.The A5000 is a very spacious listen, giving the listener a grand sense of scale that is done quite well.

A5000 is equipped with a powerful high precision ‘f-Core DU’ 6mm dynamic driver unit newly designed from the ground up to create high-quality clear and powerful sound. NEWLY DESIGNED 2-PIN SOFT SILVER COATED CABLE​The attached cable is a newly designed product newly developed for the A5000. 8-core silver-coated OFC wire is woven into it, making it soft and easy to handle. The 2-Pin connector is a high-precision product developed in-house and uses the φ0.78 standard, which is considered to be the most versatile.Comparisons – Each comparison was made against the A5000. Please keep in mind that the IE600 is double the price of the A5000 and the IE200 is almost half the cost of the Final Audio A5000. I commend Final Audio on their dual-density silicone eartip mounting system, with the inner silicone ring being a firmer type of material than the outer part, it makes it quite easy to mount them on the spouts coming out of the IEMs. Color-coding the right vs left and in alternating dark vs light shades is also very nice so that you can make sure you're getting two of the same size when you install them. The tips are quite comfortable.
