What does "ships within 24/48 hours" mean?

In a nutshell, ships within 24/48 hours basically means that your product will be shipped out or dispatched from our warehouse within 24/48 hours after placing the order. It also indicates that the products are readily available at our warehouse and once we receive your order, we dispatch it out at the earliest either on the same day or the next working day depending on when you’ve placed your order.


What it does not mean:

A lot of our customers assume that it means their order will get delivered to them within 24/48 hours, but that’s not what it means. For an order to reach you, it can take anywhere up to 3-4 business days, depending on which part of India you are placing an order from.

Sensible spending meets sophisticated quality in perfect harmony 💫.


I tend to describe premium economy products as finding that sweet spot where exceptional value meets refined performance. Think of it like business class comfort at economy prices - you're getting significantly more than what you paid for. These headphones deliver a refined listening experience that rivals more expensive alternatives, making them an intelligent choice for discerning listeners who appreciate both value and excellence.

Fits like a Dream

Looking for headphones that feel like they were made just for you ✨?


I've found that comfort can make or break your entire listening experience. These headphones provide an exceptionally comfortable fit that adapts perfectly to your unique ear shape and size. Think of it like a well-tailored suit - everything just fits naturally without any pressure points or awkward adjustments. It's the difference between wearing uncomfortable formal shoes all day versus your favourite sneakers.


This premium audio gear features ergonomically designed elements that work together to deliver optimal comfort. From the precisely engineered headband that distributes pressure evenly to the plush ear cushions that create a gentle seal, every aspect has been thoughtfully crafted to ensure long-lasting comfort without compromising sound quality.


When you spot the "👠 Fits like a Dream" badge, expect secure yet gentle fit that maintains comfort throughout extended listening sessions, whether it's a quick commute or an all-day music marathon.

Upgradeable Cable

Not satisfied with the current cable? No problem 🔧!


I believe in giving you complete freedom to customise your listening experience. These IEMs feature detachable cable systems that let you swap, upgrade, or replace cables whenever you want. Think of it like having a modular smartphone - you can upgrade individual components without replacing the whole device.

When you spot "🔌 Upgradeable Cable" products, expect future flexibility and the freedom to customise your audio experience through cable upgrades and replacements.

Why it Sounds Amazing

Dynamic Driver

The dynamic powerhouse of your sound ⚡!


I believe dynamic drivers are like the "reliable workhorses" of the headphone world - they've been perfected over decades and continue to deliver incredible performance. This driver design uses a lightweight diaphragm attached to a voice coil suspended within a permanent magnetic field, enabling precise and responsive movement that produces sound with remarkable efficiency. Think of them like precision engines that convert electrical energy into acoustic energy with impressive power and naturalness.


Dynamic drivers excel at delivering powerful and authoritative bass reproduction, clear midrange frequencies, and vibrant high frequencies. The inherent strengths ensure your music is reproduced with impressive dynamics and energy that stays true to the artist's intent 🎶.


When you see "🔈 Dynamic Driver" products, expect energetic, natural sound with excellent dynamics that bring every note and beat to life with exceptional realism.

Balanced Sound Signature

In my experience, a balanced sound signature is like a well-cooked meal—nothing overpowering, everything in harmony. If you’re someone who listens to a bit of everything—rock one day, jazz the next—this is the tuning I’d recommend. It doesn’t boost any part of the sound unnaturally, so what you hear is often how the artist intended it. 🎧


Here’s what’s actually happening: the headphones don’t favour bass, mids, or treble excessively. This results in a neutral, natural, and versatile sound that suits a wide variety of music genres. While it may not feel as “exciting” as some more coloured tunings, balanced headphones tend to offer the most accurate reproduction, making them a favourite among audiophiles and studio pros alike.

Ultra-Wide Sound Stage

Do you wish to bring the concert hall to your ears 🏛️?


I love describing ultra-wide soundstage as "audio magic" that creates a breathtaking three-dimensional environment around your head. These specialised headphones feature an exceptionally spacious soundstage that creates the illusion you're sitting in the sweet spot of a magnificent performance venue. Think of it like teleportation technology for your ears - suddenly you're not wearing headphones, you're sitting in Carnegie Hall with perfect acoustics.


The precise instrument placement and remarkable sense of space work together to transport you directly into the music, making you feel as though you're experiencing a live performance. This creates a listening experience that's grand, enveloping, and incredibly detailed 🎭.


When you encounter "😳 Ultra-Wide Soundstage" products, expect concert hall acoustics that make you forget you're wearing headphones through sheer spaciousness and realism.

Thick Bass / Kickass Bass

When I say kickass bass, I’m talking about bass that slaps you right in the face—in the best way possible. It’s that visceral, chest-thumping low-end that makes you feel like you’re in the front row of a concert or a nightclub. If you’re into hip-hop, EDM, Bollywood beats, or anything with a deep groove, this is where the fun begins. 🔊💥


Here’s what’s going on technically: the low-frequency range is heavily emphasised, resulting in powerful sub-bass rumble and impactful mid-bass slam. This kind of tuning brings weight, warmth, and physicality to your music. The trade-off? It might mask some midrange detail or high-frequency sparkle—but for bassheads, the emotional payoff is more than worth it.

Smooth & Sweet Treble

Seeking something that sounds smooth and devoid of harshness 🥰? I tend to describe these headphones as having "silk-like highs" that caress your ears rather than assault them. These products are meticulously designed to deliver high frequencies that are wonderfully gentle, offering a listening experience that's both sophisticated and delightful. Think of it like the difference between premium chocolate and cheap candy - both are sweet, but one provides refined pleasure while the other can be overwhelming.


The carefully tuned treble presentation ensures musical details come through with remarkable clarity while maintaining natural, fatigue-free character. The refined high-frequency presentation maintains excellent detail and air while avoiding any hint of harshness or stridency ✨.


When you see "🍦 Smooth & Sweet Treble" products, expect refined high frequencies that deliver crisp detail with a touch of sweetness and sophistication.

Perfect to Layback & Relax

In my experience, a laid-back sound is like sinking into your favorite armchair after a long day. It doesn’t push details in your face or try to overwhelm you with energy. Instead, it gives your music room to breathe and unfold naturally. Think of it like sipping a glass of smooth whisky—there’s warmth, body, and ease. These headphones or IEMs are ideal for those who want to unwind and soak in a mellow vibe, whether it's a jazz trio or acoustic singer-songwriter set. 🎧


Now, what’s actually happening here is a tuning that gently rolls off the treble and offers a warm, full low-end. The midrange stays intimate, while bass adds comfort without punch, and highs avoid fatigue, making long sessions a pleasure. You won’t get maximum detail or separation—but that’s the point. It’s not about dissecting the mix—it’s about relaxing into it. For bedtime listening or just zoning out, this is your sonic hammock. 😌

Final Introduces the Prime Example of Japanese Engineering and Finesse - The A5000

Final is a company that makes high-end audio products. It was established in 2007 and has been the hallmark of precision Japanese engineering with a focus on finesse and accuracy. Adopting cutting-edge technology with attention to detail and the highest quality of audio design, Final has carved a name for itself amongst audiophiles, winning multiple awards over the years. Building on the lineage, Final takes great pleasure in introducing - the gallant A5000. It is an in-ear monitor developed in continuation of Final's most revered A series. The Final A5000 is a single dynamic driver in-ear monitor tuned to deliver exceptional sonic performance. It was developed taking cues from the technology used in their flagship in-ear monitor - the A8000. The Final A5000 is here to take you on a sonic ride you have never explored!

Features In-House Developed Driver Technology Delivering an Unrelenting Sonic Performance

The Final A5000 is a single dynamic driver in-ear monitor featuring a 6mm driver unit. It is equipped with the f-Core DU driver developed and designed in-house. The A5000 is tuned based on Final's original evaluation method established while tuning their flagship earphone, the A8000. A team of engineers at Final have gone through relentless pursuit to deliver a well-tuned and good-sounding in-ear monitor. The engineers at Final have newly designed the driver parts such as diaphragms, voice coils, magnets, magnetic circuits, and adhesives and developed the 6mmφ dynamic driver unit "f-Core DU" for the A5000. The driver's front housing is made of brass, making it less susceptible to magnetic force and has higher specific gravity than aluminium. The voice coil uses 30μ ultra-fine CCAW and is assembled with minimal adhesive to improve the time response performance of the diaphragm. The A5000 uses a new evaluation method to create sound based on "actual" music listening conditions. Experience music like a breath of fresh air with the all-new A5000!

Exceptionally Engineered Chassis Providing Optimum Comfort

The Final A5000 achieves better wearing comfort based on the chassis design, which is the optimal solution for IEM established through the development of the B series. Whether or not the earphones are comfortable to wear is determined by the feeling of pressure. A team of engineers paid equal importance while designing the earpiece for the A5000. Its housing is held at three points for a stable fit. In the illustration below, there are three points: one on the pink section (ear pockets), one on the green part (earpiece), and one on the blue (tragus). Therefore, it fits the ears of many people. If there is no oppressive feeling at all the points that come into contact, you can feel that the in-ear monitors are so comfortable to wear, and it is an excellent feeling as if the A5000's were a customised earphone.

Fused With A High-Purity Cable For Lossless Signal Transmission

Cables are essential to the sound quality of an IEM or perhaps only for aesthetic purposes. The included cable for the A5000 received equal attention from Final when creating it. It is made of high-purity materials, which help the sound that the A5000 produces. The included cable is newly designed and developed for the A5000. It has 8-core silver-coated OFC wire braided to make it soft and easy to handle. The 2-Pin connector is a high-precision in-house product that uses the φ0.78 standard, considered to be the most versatile.

Bundled With Ear Hooks, A Wide Array Of Eartips And A Functional Carry Case

When used, ear hooks significantly lessen the unpleasant rustling sound (also known as cable touch noise) produced when a cable makes contact with the body while walking. Final's conventional ear hooks are slimmer than ear hooks, have no foreign body feel compared to wires or resin-filled cables, and feature comfort that makes you forget you're wearing them. It is a type (TYPE B) having a locking mechanism which can be securely fixed to the cable. Final has also provided a wide array of eartips to get the best possible optimum fit with a decent amount of noise isolation. Two types of silicone materials with different hardness are used for the sound conduit part and the part that touches the ear. Included are five sizes: SS/S/M/L/LL. You can choose according to your preference. In addition, the A5000 also comes with a functional silicone carry case. The case aids in protecting your cherished A5000s from unwanted bumps or scratches.

The Pinnacle Of Cutting-Edge Japanese Engineering

Final utilises precise Japanese engineering focused on accuracy and detail. With cutting-edge technology and superior audio design, Final has earned recognition among audiophiles and won numerous awards. The company creates premium headphones and earphones built to last, similar to Swiss watches and German cars. Their products combine exceptional sound quality with thoughtful design for lasting value. At their factory, audio designers innovate through in-house research and development, fostering collaboration between teams. Their flagship "Final Store" in Tokyo showcases their products alongside Japanese cultural artefacts, reflecting their commitment to audio excellence.

The things I enjoyed the most about its sound was its exceptional imaging, powerful and detailed bass, and its smooth, airy, and revealing treble. It’s been a while since I’ve been this impressed with a unit at this price point.
Final Audio proves time and time again that you don’t have to spend an inordinate sum of money on your IEMs to get quality sound. The new A5000 is an example of this fact.
Final Audio has a winning design for their A series IEMs. It’s very simplistic, but they have one of the most ergonomic build on the market. The way it sits in your ear is completely natural, and practically weightless.

Return request cancelled- Thank God!

I got my Final A5000 2 weeks back. It was a roller coaster ride for me. In the sense, right out of the box I hated then for how they sound. In fact, I place a return request, but luckily(and I mean it), my return request got cancelled. But after around 80 hours of burn in, oh man.. they are orgasm for my ears.
Here's my breakdown of pre and post burn in ( not sure whether it was all hardware burn in or psychological burn in.

Pre burn in -
Pros -
1) Super Comfy and light - you can sleep with them
2) Wiiiiiiide soundstage, great imaging and instrument separation
Cons-
1) Lacking midbass, very recessed vocals, highs were sibilant for my taste, excess sparkle.

Post Burn in of 80 hours , the tables flipped
Pros - apart from the pros listed for pre burn in
1) The bass got super clean, precise, noticeable with good headroom, and it even rumbled. There was more bass than I have ever heard in a neutral iem, but certainly not at basshead levels. Especially the midbass was very prominent, and Anyways the subbass was already good.
2) The mids felt more intimate, and timbre felt close to accurate.. I could hear the breaths in vocals, the finger play in strings, it felt ever so natural.
3) Highs - The biggest surprise, the highs surprisingly smoothened up, transitioning from sibilant to nuanced and detailed, with an airiness, that elevated the holographic imaging in the soundstage. Of course it was still bright, but now leaning towards neutralise bright. And that excess sparkle was now reduced to just the right amount, to make the soundstage and imaging feel more special in a Final way.

Final verdict - These iems are a special breed, give them time and they will return back the favor 100, times more. These are pure bliss for my ears, giving you a open back headphone experience in a tiny comfy iem form factor, versatile for all genres, with excellent audio quality. I am so overwhelmed by the Final A5000, that unless these give up on me, I won't give up on my A5000. Now I understand why they have named the brand Final, because after A5000, you won't enjoy listening on anything else.

Note - You can eq them by boosting the mid bass to +1, and treble to -1, the sound ultimate. Nonetheless, without eqz it's still excellent.

Please do not ask me to compare against other Final Iems, as this is my first Final purchase.

What an incredible journey, thank you for sharing it in such detail!

The Final A5000 really does seem to have made a lasting impression, especially with that post burn-in transformation. From initial doubt to pure audio bliss, that’s the kind of story fellow audiophiles love to hear. You've captured the essence of why patience can sometimes be the key to unlocking a product’s full potential.

Enjoy every moment with your A5000, sounds like it’s earned a permanent place in your audio setup!

Niche , unique , smooth and nice subtle bass

Damn....this has such a clean sounding driver , the separation,detail, decay , omg its perfects but the vocals can be thin , but the instruments whilst listening to some songs ohhhh ,the mids are recessed , female vocals dont suffer much , used poweramp auto eq omg it became better , taste is subjective but to me this is not great , not good not okay , its truly weirdly fitting to my taste , its impressive even , at its uniqueness, its not special but its hella niche and great at it , electronic , rock , indie songs with female vocal tracks are perfect , i listened to themarias run your mouth, 👄 it was perfect , down to the last details , absolutely yummers , female vocals are intimate but male vocals are lil thin ofc to which you can tweak using eq , the details and separation is great ,the mid tho ... Not so velvety ahah the soundstage is great the japanese company did made this great soundstage for high 3 dio audio it seems ahaha , its so good .... Overall at this price range you can do better but this iem is comfortable , better cable than the a8000 yes , light weight , niche sound which can be highly subjective to ones music taste , amazing purchase for me , i had to lock in and buy this , great experience with rock music , tweaked it and listened to country music oh mai the details , separation and the vocal oof its so smooth .

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the Final - A5000. We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying the niche and unique sound of this IEM. We also love that you have found the perfect fit for your music taste. Happy listening!

Listening Music on anything else must be a crime.

Final A5000 easily surpassed every instrument i ever had to listen to music be it KZ ZX10 Pro, Audio Technica M 50, 1More Triple driver, VModa, Sony XM4, XM5, Samsung Buds 3 Pro, Senheiser Momentum.
The emotion and experience is impossible to put in words accurately so I will only say it's a no-nonsense IEM made just to satiate a Die-Hard Audiophile, that's it.
What will melt your ears is it's natural Tonality, clean Separation, almost 3d placement of instruments in a ultra Wide soundstage, ample Bass, Full and Potent Sound and specially the caressing warmth without compromising the brightness, I tried many Chi-Fi product at Headphone Connect Event ranging from 2000 to 10000 but found all of them extremely biased towards brightness even to the point of being screechy.
Final Audio has managed to get that almost perfect balance of warmth and brightness, I was super impressed by their humbly priced VR 500 as well.
To sum it up if you are a true Audiophile you will get much more than what you spend here, the satisfaction that it deliver is priceless.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your detailed and enthusiastic review of the Final - A5000.

Awesome

Sound quality may be pretty subjective, but I love these things. The soundstage is great, they have good bass (not rumbling - bass heads look elsewhere), and while they might flirt with being bright, highs are clean and detailed.

They may not appear or look as premium as other IEMs at their price, but they’re solid performers and really comfortable, being as lightweight as they are.

Highly recommend.

First Final Audio IEM and its very promising...

I have a bunch of IEMs that I generally rotate from ety er3xr, periodic audio be, drop erx and sennheiser ie 300 balanced and this is my first Final Audio IEM...
I will not say I'm totally blown away because it is competing against pretty good competition.. that said it is very promising in the early days because I have observed that dynamic driver IEMs grow over a period of time..
One observation is you need to feed it with very good source and hi-res audio only, otherwise you'll definitely be disappointed.. I'm currently driving them in balanced mode from BTR7 and I can easily differentiate when a song is mastered good and when it's not.. most of my other dynamic IEMs are good even if the mastering is ok, not with a5000.. but when it's good, a5000 soars and I'm hoping it will get much better as it ages.. very happy with the addition.. HPZ is doing amazing job as always..
