Look and feel
As a huge fan of diligent design, I must say, the Final D7000 headphones truly captivate me from the moment I lay eyes on them. Their all-black exterior exudes an air of sophistication, reminiscent of high-end luxury goods. The sleek lines and premium materials give them an unmistakably expensive look that instantly draws me in.

Design and Functionality
When it comes to design and functionality, the Final D7000 headphones offer more than just a stylish appearance.
I've been really looking forward to trying out their new features, which promise to enhance my listening experience. With a unique driver unit that blends planar magnetic and dynamic driver technologies, these headphones deliver a balanced sound signature. The Air Film Damping System (AFDS) ensures precise control over every musical detail, catering to my discerning ears. Plus, the disassembling design allows for easy maintenance and potential upgrades, which speaks to my appreciation for versatility and longevity in my tech. And let me tell you about the cable – it's a high-quality OFC audio cable that adds a touch of luxury to the overall feel of the headphones, something I truly value in my audio gear.
Soundstage
After immersing myself in an extensive six-hour listening session spanning various genres, I can confidently attest to the Final D7000 headphones' exceptional performance. What truly stood out to me was the impeccably balanced soundstage they offer. Each note resonated with a clarity and depth that made me feel like I was experiencing the music in a whole new dimension.
The Final D7000 headphones are not just for casual listening; their precise soundstage makes them perfect for mixing, rivaling the performance of my studio monitors in my home studio, if not surpassing them. The innovative Pina Align Diffuser and advanced driver technology work seamlessly to create a realistic and natural audio experience that is unparalleled.
Whether I was indulging in the delicate nuances of classical compositions or vibing to the energetic beats of my favorite tunes, the Final D7000's dynamic soundstage never failed to captivate me. It invited me to rediscover my music collection with a newfound richness and dimension that left me thoroughly impressed.
Low End
As someone who appreciates a well-rounded sound, I must say, the Final D7000 headphones deliver a commendable low-end performance. The bass, in particular, is noteworthy for its accuracy and balance. Even when I'm listening to bass-heavy tracks like Martin Garrix's "Biochemical," the bass remains powerful, punchy, and fast without overshadowing the lower mids. It's a testament to the headphones' exceptional engineering that they can deliver such impactful bass while maintaining overall clarity and balance. Whether I'm enjoying EDM or exploring other genres, the Final D7000's low end consistently impresses with its precision and musicality.
Mids
The mids on the Final D7000 headphones have left a lasting impression on me. Their clarity is simply breathtaking, allowing me to hear every instrument and vocal with astonishing detail and definition. Whether I'm delving into the complexity of an orchestral piece or enjoying the simplicity of an acoustic performance, each layer of sound is brought to life with precision and clarity, immersing me in the music in a way I've never experienced before.
What truly sets the mids apart for me is the way they create a sense of space and dimensionality. With the Final D7000 headphones, the music comes alive in a way that feels almost tangible. Each instrument finds its own place in the soundstage, contributing to a rich and immersive listening experience. And the attention to detail doesn't stop there – even the placement of background vocals is incredibly precise. Instead of blending into the background, each background vocal occupies its own distinct position, adding depth and richness to the overall sound.
The mids on the Final D7000 headphones have exceeded my expectations in every way. They've opened my ears to new layers of detail and nuance in my favorite music, making every listening session a truly unforgettable experience.
Highs
When it comes to the highs on the Final D7000 headphones, overall, I find them quite satisfactory. However, I must admit that I expected a bit more brightness from them. In some tracks, they can feel a little buried by the mids and sound somewhat plain. That being said, it doesn't mean they don't sound good – in fact, they perform exceptionally well, especially for someone like me who listens to and works with a wide variety of genres.
To thoroughly test the highs, I experimented with several headphone amps, including the Mojo 2 amp and the iFi audio Go link amp. Surprisingly, I found that the highs sounded consistent across different setups. However, I discovered that by boosting the highs slightly using my EQ, I unlocked their full potential. Suddenly, the highs came to life, adding sparkle and airiness to the music without sacrificing clarity or detail.
Summary
In conclusion, my experience with the Final D7000 headphones has been nothing short of exceptional. From their sleek design to their innovative features, they have exceeded my expectations in every way. Despite a slight desire for more brightness in the highs, their overall performance is outstanding. With an impressive soundstage, precise mids, and powerful lows, these headphones offer a truly immersive listening experience across a wide range of genres.
After spending extensive time with them, I am thrilled to award the Final D7000 headphones a rating of 9.5 out of 10. Their ability to transport me into the heart of the music, coupled with their versatility and comfort, makes them a standout choice for any audiophile or music enthusiast.They are a testament to Final's commitment to excellence in audio engineering.
