About this deal

Bass: The bass feels very coherent and textured. I would say the bass is one of the main strengths of the A5000. It has some punch and even some slam when required to do so. I looked up the driver configuration after blind listening and was surprised. I would have assumed a 4BA or hybrid setup, but it’s just one DD. The bass texture through to the mids is the strength of this IEM. It helps acoustic music and male vocals come through clean and easy. The bass is surely a positive of this IEM overall, but for a budget single DD the IE200 is still my go to option. The IE200 can better separate bass texture and amount from the mids while also doing the other regions more justice. 6/10 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. 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.

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. Most would be familiar with Final due to their immensely popular E-series of IEMs, dynamic-driver IEMs with rather pleasant tunings that have captured the hearts of many budget-level audiophiles. Less would be familiar with their B-series, even less with the Heaven series, and only the hardcore would recognise the extremely strange Piano Forte series, Sonorous series (formally “Pandora Hope”) and the “prototype” to the E-series, the Adagio. Following the design principle of the flagship A8000, the new A4000 adds a new entry-level earphone to the A-series. With transparent sound and overwhelmingly natural response the A4000 provides localised and spatial sound that emerges with a deeply extended sound image. The A4000 take a more fluid approach to the high end than they do a shimmery gloss. They take more advantage of the 16k range than the 8k range, which helps them avoid a metallic character. They’re perhaps more middle of the road on brightness; I’ve heard headphones twice as dark and twice as bright. But most will find them to be on the brighter side, with a full, smooth sound far from any shrillness. I listened to the serene guitar ballad “Journey” by Sipprell and her vocals flowed beautifully on the A4000s high response. They have a pleasantly pure, gentle presence.The Final Audio A4000 and Moondrop Blessing 2 have a lot of similarities and one major difference. Price difference is obvious but let's continue with the sound comparison. The tone is very similar between the two but timbre is a clear win for the Blessing 2. The A4000 has a small boost in the bass that adds just a touch of oomph that some say is missing with the Blessing 2. The mids of the Blessing 2 have better body, weight and density and are not near as forward as the A4000; nor do they sound floaty. The bottom end of the mids are more pleasing on the Blessing 2. The treble is better controlled and not as intense on the Blessing 2. BUT the biggest and most major difference between the Blessing 2 and A4000 is the detail retrieval and resolution; the Blessing 2 is by far the superior, not even close in comparison.

I found the details to be good,i didn't have any issues with hearing the instruments and each one had good enough spacing as they wasn't ganging up upon each other. The only time I heard a bit of brightness is when it was a bad quality song. Other songs didn't have that issue and if it did it was slight or none at all.Weird notch inside 2 pin that doesn’t work with every 2 pin cable. Very comfy, excellent build and fit. Final Audio A3000: They have more similar lows and mids, but the A3000 has thinner, warmer high mid and a smaller width high end boost. It has an overall less resonant sound than the A4000 but is much closer to it in brightness than the E4000 or F31000 is. Depending on how you like your midrange, both A-series IEMs have something to offer. The A4000 actually has the most accuracy in its mids, providing sleeker details in a realistic manner. In comparison, the A5000 is still well-detailed, but it is prone to recession in the fundamental mid-band frequencies. It is only a slightly noticeable dip though, so instruments should still appear crisp in the mix. There’s even a bit more bite to certain notes being played. While the A4000 remains flat and even, the A5000 emphasized frequencies where it can, adding more color to vocals and instruments. Highs

Some might say U shape, some might even V shape, for me it’s more like a W shape (even with slight recessed mids I think they are in a nice level still), slight priority to the sub-bass. Guess what? I was wrong in both! Just a few months ago, Final presented A4000 and A3000, two lower, actually way too lower, value IEMs than A8000. While, on April 26, 2021, Final launched SHICHIKU.KANGEN, which is the next big thing after A8000. Typically, SHICHIKU.KANGEN belongs to the Collaboration series, because it was developed in collaboration with the DITA Audio company; in reality though, it is of the same breed as A8000, at least in regard to its construction, and it costs almost 50% more than the latter. For non music usage such as for gaming,movies anime, The A4000 works really well for gaming and movies /w Atmos/TV(Netflix) when I used Dolby atmos headphones. It also made my anime sound wonderful with the OST anime have, it sound great this was of course with atmos disabled. Geshelli Labs A 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!similar to https://drop.com/buy/drop-mrspeakers-ether-cx-closed-headphones?utm_source=linkshare&referer=FTSS2S 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.

The standard against which everything should be measured. I think it deserves that strong of a statement, because realistically it's what I always end up doing. "Is it as comfortable as my A4000 ?" If not, then I'm not going to grab that next IEM as much as the A4k I already have. "Is it as light as my A4000 ?" If not, I'm not going to wear it for long, and end up not touching that next thing because of that. "Does it sound as good as my A4000 ?" If yes, then that IEM is certainly special and deserves a review. While far from cheap the A4000 sits at a reachable price point for many and challenges products twice as expensive in many ways (weight, practicality, ease of use) or even any IEM on the market in others (soundstage, imaging, comfort) Soekris DAC1421: Similar to the Spectre X in that it is warm, lush and detailed; pairs nicely with the Final Audio A4000.

Summary: Departing from the common V-shaped consumer sound, the A4K provides the listener with enough vibrancy to be engaging but is still V-shaped. Just not a much so as others, who add more “oomph” up top. But in a smoother than normal manner. Bass could reach deeper for me as could its impact. That can be accommodated by EQing the sound. Mids are good but not great. I consider that part of the smooth nature. Male vocals are good and there is good clarity of note with both male and female vocals as well as the overall signature. I would not call it spacious but engaging again adding to that smooth sound to me. Upper mids are pushed forward, which seems to be the flavor de rigor, but not as much as others. With a fast decay, the notes heard are true and aid in that vibrancy of which I speak, but again to me the overall is of a smooth nature; especially when compared to the others here. After getting curious about the final audio A4000 due to me reading that it had a large sound stage for an IEM, I wanted to see for my self. This being my first Final Audio IEM. Final A4000 achieve an excellent, custom feeling fit based on a 3-point housing design that is considered by Final to be the optimal solution for in-ear earphone fit without the feeling of unnecessary pressure. The Bass of this single dynamic driver IEM is fairly impressive. It extends well into the sub bass region and offers consistent decay and rumble. I was unable to detect and bleeding into the mid bass region, which was clean but offered good impact. It is not extremely elevated in this region and some bass heads may want more but overall; I would say it is enjoyable. The speed of the dynamic driver in this range is what left the biggest impression. Bass slopes downward to the mid-range without any extreme dips or steepness.
