Verdict

The Final D7000 is a high-end, open-back planar magnetic headphone that integrates advanced Air Film Damping System (AFDS) driver technology and a newly developed 'Pinna-Aligned Diffuser' to optimise acoustics regardless of ear shape. Key specifications include a 50Ω impedance, 89dB/mW sensitivity, and a lightweight 437g machined aluminium-magnesium alloy housing. It features a unique diaphragm that is approximately one-third the weight of traditional dynamic drivers, delivering a warm sonic profile with weighty, open bass and delicate high frequencies. Main pros include exceptional build quality, high midrange resolution for vocals and strings, and a user-serviceable design that uses screws for nearly all parts to ensure longevity. However, potential cons include its low sensitivity making it difficult to drive without a powerful dedicated amplifier, a relatively long and cumbersome 3-metre stock cable limited to an unbalanced 6.3mm termination, and a slight lack of overall dynamic intensity during highly energetic music passages.

What customers like about Final D7000?

  • Warm and enjoyable tonality with impactful, well-textured bass
  • Exceptional build quality featuring premium materials like machined aluminum-magnesium alloy and Japanese 'Washi' paper
  • Highly comfortable and breathable earpads made from Toray Ultrasuede that resist overheating

What customers dislike about Final D7000?

  • Relaxed upper midrange and highs may lack the brightness or 'air' preferred by some audiophiles
  • Requires a powerful amplifier to drive effectively due to low sensitivity (89dB/mW)
  • Proprietary 3.5mm locking connectors can make finding aftermarket cables difficult
  • Standard 3-meter cable is heavy and only includes a 6.3mm termination, which may be inconvenient for some
  • Bass can occasionally clip or sound 'crunchy' on extremely high dynamic range tracks (e.g., specific orchestral pieces)
  • Circular earpads might not fit comfortably for users with larger ears
