Main Product Advantages
10 Soundstage
A standout feature, providing a remarkably wide and detailed soundstage. It excels in creating a sense of space and separation of instruments.
9 Sound Quality
The Final A4000 offers exceptional sound quality with a V-shaped signature featuring extended treble, slightly recessed mids, and punchy bass. It excels at delivering a wide, detailed soundstage with clear imaging and high precision.
9 Value for Money
Regarded as offering substantial value for its price range. It utilizes design aspects from more expensive models, providing a much higher quality sound than expected for its cost.
8 Bass
The bass response is smooth, punchy, and round with good tonality. The sub-bass is slightly forward but integrates well into the mids. However, it may not be the fastest but is satisfactory for most listeners.
8 Accessories
Includes useful accessories like a silicon carry case and good quality ear tips. The straight black non-microphonic cable is appreciated, even if it feels somewhat cheap.
7 Treble
Treble is highly emphasized but balanced enough to avoid being too sharp. It returns to target after 10k, ensuring vocals sound natural. Some users find it a bit elevated but generally not sibilant.
7 Noise Isolation
Provides decent noise isolation with clear and transparent sound, making it suitable for a variety of listening environments.
6 Mids
The mids are present but slightly thin. Despite being recessed, they manage to offer a natural vocal performance without harshness in the gain region.
6 Comfort
While the earphones are generally comfortable and fit well for gym use, some users experience discomfort during extended wear due to the housing pushing on the outer ear.
5 Build Quality
The build quality is considered subpar with cheap plastic casing and flimsy wire connections. Some users reported issues such as chattering at low frequencies and a general lack of robustness.
