FinalAudio Design E3000C H-Res Earphone Stainless Steel Black

As seen in my previous review (of the Flares Audio Jet 2), these too are an excellent set. But, this pair seem to dig way deeper into the music. More defined, a little more bass with the sub base almost there. These are a little more hard to drive with my iPhone XR, but I believe using an amp will contribute to more excellent sound. Again these are Not for bass heads but have enough to be convincing and what’s there is real, plus they eq nicely if you need more.... Nearly a flat frequency response, but the best thing is that with the Final Audio “sound”, they are so easy to listen to. These are the most comfortable iem’ I have tried and that I have owned (so far). The drive unit is of great quality and sturdy. The cables are another story. The light weight of the entire assembly kinda scares me, but being a Japanese product, I’m not too concerned, but I am using the utmost care in handling them. The cable is Not microphonic and even though super slim is a perfect match sound wise and quality. Cable size (thickness) can be misleading. The quality of the wires themselves is the question and these are of a high quality. I say thus as I currently have a 47 Laboratory 4733 and connect my speakers with the 47 Laboratory.40mm Barr wire cables. They are excellent in their sound representation. These too will benefit from some “run-in” as all my sets have been through at least 35-50 hours. The sound does improve (at least to me) some may disagree and that is ok. The point is they sound wonderful and so comfortable I can (and have) listened to them all day. Of you want even better sound, get the e3000 Without the microphone, as the less signal is interfered with , the better. The mic works well and no complaints there. The cable is as quiet as you will find I just about any price range. I have two problems: 1: is that I just bought a pair of Periodic Audio be’ and have about 150 hours on them (with about 150 more to go)and they keep getting better and better. And 2: I am tempted to get the E4000’s as I love this sound and the comfort alone is a incredible Plus, but the $ is what’s putting this on hold 😞 . My go to iem’ are these, due to the comfort and pleasing/enjoyable sound signature. But I see real soon they’ll be replaced by the be’. The value of the Final Audio e3000c is exceptional, and these are highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed... remember, be easy with these, I’ve had No issues, I’m just a little bit nervous, probably for nothing...

I absolutely fell in love with these earbuds! The sound quality was absolutely amazing and they are very light and small, they fit absolutely perfect in my small ears as well. I found them through a site that said they could be alternatives to sleep buds, which worked just fine, they're small enough that they dont dig into my ears.I used them just about every day to listen to music and when gaming, i have a large collection of cds and lots of flac quality albums on my phone. The open back probably helps to add to the quality of the audio but it of course hinders bass, which is just fine.Unfortunately they just stopped working today. I hadn't touched them in a week and the left earbud went totally silent. It's really unfortunate because these are not cheap! They're such good quality, especially the earbuds themselves being metal. They didn't even last a whole year. I'll be looking elsewhere to see if there are any high quality buds that hopefully won't just stop working one day...

These earbuds sound great, especially for the money. Their lightweight design make these probably the most comfortable earbuds I’ve ever owned and I can wear the for hours with no issue, something I can’t say for almost any other earbud.Their semi open design strikes a good balance between isolation and soundstage, allowing people to still get your attention. Their sound is also very balanced, clean bass, rich mids, and smooth treble. They lack a little clarity in the highest frequencies (noticeable in some cymbal crashes) but totally acceptable to my ears. If you want big thumping bass, you should look elsewhere or try equalizing.They don’t seem to be very durable, though I haven’t had any issues. Treat them well and they will treat you just as nicely.I can’t speak highly enough to these earbuds. If you’re looking for balanced sound and earbuds you can wear all day, look no further.

These sounded great when they worked, but after about a year of light use, they're no longer working properly - for the most part, either one channel is out, or there is no sound at all. It seems like the wires near the jack are not secure. The links on Final's website (snext-final.com) to any customer care - even user registration - are dead links, so I don't know how to contact the company. If you do get these headphones, I recommend getting the protection plan.

Very good comparable to IEM double the price.

The price keeps on increasing day by day and its value is not worth it. Its a headphone just fine for those who love music. Nothing much special for the price. you can get better headphones for the price.I brought it for half the price nine months before. but now the left earpiece is not working. So what i can say soundwise its just fine for an entry-level audiophile but the quality is just average.

The sound is like Apple Earpods but much lower sensitivity. With amplifier you are getting much more details and separation, without amplifier it is not bad due to its adorable tuning. It is designed for cellphones, after all.

Great quality!
