Final has introduced a new in-ear monitor, the A2000, expanding its headphone line-up with a focus on affordable performance.
At the core of the A2000 is Final’s in-house 6mm “f-Core DU” dynamic driver, developed entirely by the company — from diaphragm and voice coil to magnet assembly.
Final says the result is a sound signature built around “exceptional clarity” paired with tight, energetic bass. Sensitivity is rated at 99 dB/mW, with 19Ω impedance. This makes it relatively easy to drive from everyday devices.
The A2000 is also the first model in its class to benefit from Final’s revised sound evaluation process, originally developed for its flagship A10000.
Instead of relying purely on lab-based sound pressure testing, the company evaluated performance across real-world listening scenarios. This included varied volumes and recording quality. The goal, according to Final, is more natural and controlled playback in everyday use.
Build details are equally considered. A brass front housing is used to reduce magnetic interference, while an ultra-fine 30μm CCAW voice coil is designed to improve transient response. Each diaphragm is pressed in small batches to ensure consistent performance and lower distortion.
Comfort remains a priority. Borrowing from the brand’s B Series design philosophy, the A2000 uses a three-point support fit across the ear pocket, eartip and tragus to reduce pressure while maintaining stability. The housing features a two-tone black-and-blue finish with Final’s textured “shibo” coating to resist fingerprints.
The earphones connect via a 0.78mm 2-pin connector, paired with a 1.2m black OFC cable designed to minimise microphonics. Five sizes of dual-hardness silicone eartips (SS to LL) are included to help achieve a secure seal.
While the A2000 leads this latest expansion, Final continues to offer models like the VR3000, aimed specifically at gamers seeking accurate positional audio.
Priced at $79.99 / £79.99 / €74.99, the A2000 is available to buy globally right now. It aims to deliver high-end tuning without the flagship price tag and, just as importantly, without straying from its audiophile roots.
