DESCRIPTION
THE PINNACLE OF CUTTING-EDGE JAPANESE ENGINEERING
Final makes use of high precision Japanese engineering with focus on finesse and accuracy. Adopting cutting edge technology with high 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.
CREATING VALUABLE ANTIQUES, NOT JUST PRODUCTS
The team at Final strongly believes in creating earphones and headphones that are highly revered by people. Final earphones, like Swiss wristwatches and German Cars must be built to last forever and used as valuable antiques. The result of such careful consideration is a long-lasting, rational & emotionally valuable asset with the best sound quality and best design.
CRAFTED IN KAWASAKI, JAPAN SINCE 1974
At the Final factory, the team of audio designers are dedicated to innovating audio products through research. Unlike other OEM manufacturers, they believe in designing their products in-house. This facilitates internal feedback between various teams and departments, encouraging the process for developing a long lasting product.
A PROUD SHOWCASE OF JAPANESE HERITAGE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
Final has a state-of-the-art company-owned “Final Store” located in Tokyo, Japan. This is open to all music lovers and audio enthusiasts to come in and experience Final’s range of headphones & earphones. The store proudly showcases their Japanese heritage and cultural artefacts. This represents Final's deep respect for the audio purist.
6.4MMφ DYNAMIC DRIVER UNIT DELIVER AWARD WINNING PERFORMANCE
Final E3000 and E3000C features a powerful yet small-aperture 6.4mm diameter dynamic driver that has been precisely assembled to deliver pristine audio quality. The precision involved in the assembling process for the driver unit is given the utmost importance. With this dynamic driver, you experience clear audio with all the frequency ranges tuned to deliver a flat sound without any masking. The Final E3000 and E3000C are tuned incorporating the latest in acoustic engineering and psychoacoustics technology gained through the team's research and development efforts. With the combination of the technology embedded in these earphones, they surpass many earphones and have been awarded the Gold Prize at the VGP 2019 SUMMER awards in Japan.
UNIQUE SWING-FITTING EARPIECE MECHANISM FOR COMFORT & FLEXIBILITY
The Final E3000 and E3000C have been designed to provide the utmost comfort and durability. Featuring a unique swing-fit mechanism allowing the earpiece to be able to move left and right and tilt towards the audio canal for a perfect fit. These prevent changes in shape owing to the aperture of the earpiece coming into contact with the auditory canal. The sound is transmitted directly to the eardrum, delivering clear sound.
DURABLE STAINLESS STEEL HOUSING FUSED WITH STAINLESS STEEL MESH BACK
The Final E3000 and E3000C are made with premium materials and utmost precision. The housing for the earpiece is made out of highly rigid stainless steel with a mirror finish to support the driver unit and suppress any unnecessary vibrations. This design and selected materials are contributing elements concerning sound quality. This is a design that has a simple shape and a high-quality texture matched with classic sound quality. The back of the housing features an aperture that acts to extend low-frequency reproduction while enhancing isolation. The aperture is made of stainless steel material and features a filter inside to prevent sound leakage.
E3000C EMBEDDED WITH MICROPHONE AND IN-LINE CONTROLS
The included cable with the Final E3000C features a quality microphone to receive calls and for communication. This microphone is a high-quality mic capable of transmitting clean audio. There are quick-access functions assigned to the button on the microphone housing and it allows for receiving calls, rejecting calls, playing/pausing music and changing the songs played. This is truly useful as you don’t need to access your devices to execute these frequently used functions.
ENGINEERED TO SOUND STUNNING WITH REGULAR USE
The Final E3000 and E3000C come embedded with driver units with a diaphragm attached to a voice coil and adhesive agent. With audio signals flowing, the diaphragm moves in minute increments along with the voice coil allowing the sound to be produced. Over time, the diaphragm moves efficiently and the sound changes or ‘ages’. The E3000 and E3000C have a small aperture, and so an extended period is necessary for changes through ageing to become noticeable. When used for over 150-200 hours, it should feel as though the sound has become stable. Favourable outcomes can be obtained through the ageing of the product, by listening to the music you normally listen to at a volume you usually listen to.
HIGH-QUALITY OFC CABLE CAPABLE OF SUPPRESSING TOUCH NOISE
Final E3000 and E3000C employ a thick and flexible cable to prevent breakage and tangling whilst using the earphones. The cable is made of rubber and coated to extend its life. E3000 and E3000C use a more flexible OFC (oxygen-free copper) cable to transmit better audio signals from a device to the earbuds. This design drastically suppresses touch noise when the connecting cable touches the body. The earphones feature a Y split point and an L-shaped jack to further solidify the durability. This durable cable and connector make connecting to a source device easy and seamless.
BUNDLED WITH HIGH-QUALITY EAR HOOKS FOR A COMFORTABLE WEARING EXPERIENCE
The E3000 and E3000C come bundled with premium quality ear hooks that are crafted to fit everyone. The team at Final considered the key aspects to designing an ear hook that was comfortable to wear and discovered a form that was smaller than most existing ear hooks and that didn't utilise metal or resin wires. This decision allowed for a slimmer ear hook and one that feels premium to the touch, allowing the user to wear the earphones for extended periods and enjoy their music.
5 INTERCHANGEABLE EAR-TIPS AND CARRY POUCH INCLUDED FOR ALL USERS
The ear tips for the Final E3000 and E3000C have been designed from soft silicone for superior comfort and noise isolation. These come in 5 sizes and ensure that the sound is transmitted directly to the eardrum. Two types of silicon differing in rigidity are employed for the sound conduit and for the earbud that comes into contact with the user’s ear. The silicon used for the sound conduit is more rigid than that used for the earbud, and having groove processing applied to it, combines both strength and flexibility. These earphones also come bundled with a carry case making them perfect to carry along with you.

Customer Reviews
Fine-tuned audio, widest sound stage, great comfort. Every beat you hear has some magical sound experience. This product is for those who want to experience how the sound is actually designed by the artist and composers. Don't compare this with others it has its own sound signature. It's literally impossible to deliver that kind of sound in such a small tiny package, it's just a 6mm single driver. The only bad thing is cable, really really poor quality.
Just got these. The unboxing experience was relatively lackluster; the carrying pouch seems okayish at best, but the spare eartips are great. The sound quality is really good at this price point. Do not get these if you want a "neutral" sound. These do sound detailed, but are certainly more relaxed-sounding and "smooth" with somewhat prominent bass. It's a great laid back experience for most genres; I doubt you'd wanna use these for monitoring purposes. They're really comfortable with the right eartips and the stainless steel housing is simply brilliant. I suppose my main gripe with the E3000s would be the cable - they seem pretty flimsy and don't really instill confidence with regard to longevity, and the fact that they're non-detachable makes it worse.
Hey Arun,
Thank you for the honest feedback, we hope you had a great shopping experience! Will sure pass your qualms about the cables to the brand. Cheers!
Final E3000 is a pair of earphones that sound very pleasant. It needs an amp to go with it. It is super light-weight that I almost always forget that I am wearing one. Combined with the sound quality and the comfort of wearing them makes it a good choice for long time listening. The design in clean and without being ostentatious like many other IEMs. The build quality is supposedly very good, but the flimsiness of the wires does not instil confidence. Overall a great buy for its price.
I knew beforehand that this require proper open back level power to 'open up'. I'll update this when I get that setup (either sooner or maybe later). I can see the potential when pairing with sonata hd pro high gain mode, but it requires at least 250mW of power.
Reducing 1 star for the cable quality.
Edit: So, I told I will update it when I feed it with more power.
Before that, let me talk about the eartips. Final E eartips that comes with all final earphones are awesome, but they are also one of the worst tips to pair the E3000 with. After some experimentation , I settled with a wide bore tip that came with an old Sennheiser cx earphones and that did wonders. The details opened up, treble and mids was a bit more forward without losing its warmth and since it was closer to the ears, the overall isolation also increased. SO find a wider bore eartip and you will be surprised.
Now about the power increase. From sonata HD pro, I went to E1Da powerdac 2.1 which is very powerful on boost mode, but also had crossfeed. In simple unbalanced mode it only had 1/4 the total power, but still 2x the power of SHD pro. Both this modes made me take a peak into the potential of e3000.
After that I got the much raved Ovidius B1 which is very powerful. It is also not that suited for very sensitive IEMs and can be noisy with them. Despite the measurements e3000 is anything but sensitive. It was very clean with the B1. The B1 just makes the e3000 sing. It is an IEM that you can listen to as much as you want without any fatigue. You know sometimes when your body is so tired and you just can't listen to harsher stuff? E3000 would still be with you during that time making you relax. The timbre, tonality, warmth will cuddle you like a blanket.
Tin P1 Plus, Etymotic ER2XR and E3000 are my most used gear along with Tin T2 plus, Blon BL03 , a couple of earbuds and over ear headphones (Monks, Faaeals, AKG K52/K361, Beyer dt240 pro). Out of the P1 Plus, ER2XR and E3000, if I said that I listen to E3000 the most I don't think I would be lying. It is even making me lookup E5000 despite being perfectly happy. BUT, that's a me problem.
I also changed my rating from 4 to 5 because I simply love it and cable has held up well after 7-8 months.
These are awesome earphones, spacious soundstage with width as well as a little height too. I am using ios devices to listen to songs.I am listening to a lot mid reading reviews but just know the fact that it requires power to perform well.Also you are looking at a long haul of burning period. Just keep on using them till the speakers open up. It took me nearly two weeks of listening to get adjusted to it. Also , all frequencies are there , maybe a little recessed but it is not that they are not there.
I will rather say these are awesome.
Bang on for the price that they are asking.
Hey Soumen,
We are glad you had a comfortable shopping experience with us & it is delightful to read such positive reviews on your product! Cheers & Welcome to the club!
