Planar Magnetic Headphone – Final Audio D8000 Pro Edition

The Final Audio D8000 Pro Edition redefines planar magnetic excellence. Built on the AFDS (Air Film Damping System), it combines the extended low-end of dynamic headphones with the transparency and detail of planar drivers. Compared to the original D8000, the Pro Edition delivers a clearer, more forward sound – ideal for rock, pop, and contemporary music.

AFDS Technology – Reinventing the Planar Driver

The Air Film Damping System precisely controls diaphragm motion via an air layer, preventing contact with the magnets. This enables deep, natural bass even with open-back construction. The etched aluminium diaphragm—one-third the weight of dynamic types—delivers speed, refinement, and exceptional treble extension.

Sound Signature & Purpose

D8000 Pro Edition balances crisp highs and solid lows with remarkable midrange definition. While the D8000 excels in orchestral and classical works, the Pro Edition was tuned for energetic, dynamic genres, offering enhanced presence and immediacy.

Build Quality & Craftsmanship

Its aluminium-magnesium housing is precisely machined and finished with high-grade leather for vibration absorption. Every part is modular and serviceable. Each unit is hand-assembled at Final’s Kawasaki facility, where both components and assembly tools are crafted in-house.

Cables & Accessories

Supplied with two detachable OFC cables (1.5 m with 3.5 mm plug and 3 m with 6.3 mm plug, both locking) and an exclusive hard case. Open, breathable earpads provide comfort and natural sound. The D8000 Pro Edition is a statement of Japanese precision and musical passion.
