As a result, in comparison to the D8000 which is suitable particularly for classical music and other selections featuring a wide dynamic range, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/the-soundkitchen.com\/brands\/final-audio\/\"\u003eFinal Audio\u003c\/a\u003e D8000 Pro Edition provides sound quality perceived to be of higher clarity when listening to rock, pops and other selections that feature a narrow dynamic range.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFinal Audio D8000 Pro Edition Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe Final Audio D8000 Pro Edition combines the sensitive high ranges of planar magnetic models and the volume and open feel bass tones of dynamic models. With conventional planar magnetic models, amplitude is an increasing low range, and since the diaphragm comes into contact with magnets, it was necessary to raise the frequency of bass to a level that the driver unit can reproduce.\n\nTo compensate for lack of bass, the inside of the earpads have been tightly sealed, and the front section of the diaphragm sealed. By sealing the inner earpads, it is possible to produce bass tones across low frequency bands; these become the bass tones produced within a sealed space the same as earphones. Combined with breatheable earpads, bass tone reproduction and open sound only achievable with superior dynamic models is possible.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUltra light diaphragm\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn reproducing subtle high frequencies, the lightweight nature of the diaphragm comes before anything else. Compared to other dynamic models with the same diameter, D8000's diaphragm is 1\/3 lighter. A super thin aluminum coil has been etched on the extremely lightweight film diaphragm, and as such, the adhesive essential for use between the coil and the diaphragm of dynamic models - which has a very negative effect on sound quality - is not necessary. With the D8000 Pro Edition, problems originating from the adhesive have been fundamentally resolved, and the reproduction of a delicate sound in high frequency range has been achieved.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFinal Audio D8000 Pro Air Film Damping System\u003c\/h3\u003e\nWith conventional planar magnetic models, amplitude was an increasing low range, and the diaphragm came into contact with magnets. To solve this problem, Final Audio estabished new diaphragm breaking technology known as AFDS - Air Film Damping System. This technology could be considered a reinvention of planar magnetic models.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMachined metal housing\u003c\/h3\u003e\nTo establish AFDS, an extremely high level of precision compared to typical driver units is necessary. The machined aluminum magnesium alloy housing has been machined with great precision. Black sports a leathercoat finish such as that used for expensive cameras. Silver has been imparted with an Alumite anodized aluminum finish. Two types of detachable cable, OFC black cable (3.5mm\/1.5m) and OFC silver coat cable (6.3mm\/3m) are included as accessories.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNewly-developed open type earpads\u003c\/h3\u003e\nWith not only sealed headphones but open-type headphones as well, sealing the earpads makes for a characteristic lengthening of reproduction frequency to bass frequencies that the driver unit originally couldn't reproduce. With all conventional planar magnetic models and many dynamic models, there is a lack in terms of bass frequencies with earpads that are not tightly sealed. For the D8000 Pro Edition, close attention has been paid to good feeling texture and longevity. Toray Ultrasuede has been used for parts that come in contact with the human skin.","brand":"Final Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42185705652299,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/7790\/9323\/files\/d8000-pro-edition-01.png?v=1778265442"},{"product_id":"hifiman-he1000-v2-stealth","title":"HiFiMAN HE1000 V2 Stealth","description":"Recently \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/the-soundkitchen.com\/brands\/hifiman\/\"\u003eHiFiMAN\u003c\/a\u003e has updated one of their most popular headphones with stealth magnets. The result is even more stunning to what we could have imagined before. The much more natural soundstage, tightness in the low-end region, with a vivid rolling bass. The strong points in staging of the earlier HE1000 V2 have remained, so this remains a highly recommended headphone.\nThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/the-soundkitchen.com\/brands\/hifiman\/\"\u003eHiFiMAN\u003c\/a\u003e HE1000 was released for the first time in the summer of 2015 and immediately topped the charts of many hi-fi and head-fi magazines around the world. Rarely has a product received such unanimous international reviews. With the updated HiFiMAN HE1000 V2 Stealth, the bar has been raised for this model.\n\u003ch3\u003eStealth Magnets\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn 2016 this model received a V2 version and now HiFiMAN added Stealth magnets, like many other models that were recently revamped, such as the Ananda and Arya. Listening to the new HiFiMAN HE1000 V2 Stealth it immediately is clear that the sound profile has become much more natural, with a tight bass and spacious imaging. The addition of Stealth magnets leads to less edge refraction of the planar. Give this headphone plenty of power and it is capable of reproducing even the lowest bass and the finest treble with utmost precision.\n\u003ch3\u003eHeadphone Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\nMuch more has improved with the latest design of this headphone, but the basic award-winning design has remained. The angled ear pads now have a polyester surface for long listening sessions without sweating and the slight angle in the ear pads allow for an improved localization and imaging in the front. Furthermore the complete housing is now made from aluminum instead of a combination of anodized steel and aluminum in the previous model.\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanar Magnetic Drivers\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe planar driver has remained the same, which has a thickness in the nano meter range and uses the patented “window shade grill” for the protection of the driver. This membrane is actually so thin that if you would view it from the side it is almost invisible. It is framed by an asymmetrical magnet system with relatively large magnets on the side facing away from the ear and smaller ones on the side of the headphones facing towards the ear. This trick reduces interference in the reproduction and allows for an extremely fast response due to reduced “air congestion” between the diaphragm and the magnets.","brand":"HiFiMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42185706078283,"sku":"6925624201371","price":969.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/7790\/9323\/files\/hifiman-he1000_Steealth.png?v=1778165437"},{"product_id":"hifiman-susvara","title":"HiFiMAN Susvara","description":"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/the-soundkitchen.com\/brands\/hifiman\/\"\u003eHiFiMan\u003c\/a\u003e Susvara Planar headphones are gorgeously designed, premium engineered and deliver a stunning sound performance. The Susvara are truly end game headphones that have been awarded with raving reviews world wide.\n\nAn advanced Stealth magnet design has been used in the HiFiMAN Susvara, which offers a crystal clear acoustic performance due to significantly minimizing wave diffraction turbulence. As a result, you can sit back and enjoy a rich, beautiful sound from your music that is free from distortion. The model's superior ergonomic design offers unparalleled comfort so you can enjoy your headphones for as long as you desire.\nThese days the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/the-soundkitchen.com\/brands\/hifiman\/\"\u003eHiFiMAN\u003c\/a\u003e Susvara hardly needs an introduction as it has been the company's flagship headphone for many years. If you do a quick search on the internet, you will find raving reviews of this stellar headphone, which is considered as an end game headphone. The Susvara needs to be paired with a headphone amplifier that needs at least 8W of power to drive them as the Susvara is pretty hard to drive.\n\u003ch3\u003eStealth Magnets\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOne of the biggest upgrades involves the use of all-newly developed planar drivers. Despite the fact that planar driver technology has been used for many decades in the highest quality and best performing headphones, the magnets between which the diaphragm moves are mainly responsible for a significant loss in sound quality. These magnets block sound waves and create adverse turbulence.\n\nThe drivers of Susvara are equipped with so-called 'stealth magnets' on either side of an ultra-thin membrane. Thanks to its thinness, this membrane does not suffer from inertia and, thanks to the stealth magnets on both sides of the membrane, turbulence is prevented and sound waves will reach the ear canal unaffected. Thanks to the reduced diaphragm thickness, these drivers deliver an undistorted frequency response from just 6Hz up to an amazing 75kHz.

This coating is applied through Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) to increase the stiffness and durability of the driver, while still keeping it light enough to achieve a fast transient response. The damping qualities of beryllium also help suppress unwanted resonances, giving the 109 PRO its neutral, vivid and transparent character. Around the membrane, we find the ring-shaped stabilizer that is made of copper-zinc alloy, which improves the absorption of vibrations to further reduce distortion.

As you know, velour is far softer and more breathable than leather, so not only will it sit more comfortable, but it will also prevent sweat and overheating during lengthy listening sessions.","brand":"Meze Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42185707585611,"sku":"0615517935624","price":799.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/7790\/9323\/files\/meze_109_pro_3.png?v=1778164021"},{"product_id":"meze-audio-liric-original-ex-demo","title":"Meze Audio Liric - original - EX-DEMO","description":"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMeze Audio Liric - When sound meets poetry, something extraordinary comes to life\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\u003cem\u003e“In our folklore, lyricism is found in the smallest of details, from odes to poems, from flute songs to the melismatic tunes of the “doina” (a style of voice singing specific to Romania). Our first closed-back isodynamic headphone was born out of love for music, poetry, and the indisputable attachment we have to our country’s culture.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe’ve been wanting to do a portable planar for a while, and following two successful collaborations with Rinaro, it was a natural next step. Naming it Meze Audio Liric was not a game of chance. It was an ideal metaphor to paint the authentic, vivid and poetic sound disguised behind its ethereal silhouette.”\u003c\/em\u003e – \u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Meze, Lead Designer and Founder of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/the-soundkitchen.com\/brands\/meze-audio\/#\"\u003eMeze Audio\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeze X Rinaro Collaboration\u003c\/h3\u003e\nTime flies when you’re having fun! Together with Rinaro Isodynamics, we are adding a third model in our collaborative lineup. Liric raised a true challenge for both companies: how can we create a planar closed-back headphone that will change all standards in the audiophile world. Fusing Meze Audio’s industrial design capabilities with Rinaro’s technological development, the Meze Audio Liric brings a new flavor for all the active audiophiles that like to take their music on the go.\n\u003ch3\u003eMZ4 Isodynamic - Hybrid Array Driver\u003c\/h3\u003e\nLiric is the first closed-back headphone to be powered by Rinaro’s Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver. Created exclusively for Meze Audio, the MZ4 driver offers the same dual shaped voice coil array seen in the Meze Empyrean. Over 30 years of R\u0026amp;D have gone into developing this technology, resulting in one of the lightest (71 gram) and most advanced planar magnetic drivers on the market. A new innovation to the MZ4 driver developed in-house by Rinaro is the Phase-X™ system, which improves ambience and spatial sound imaging, often found to be a problem in closed back headphone designs.\n\u003ch3\u003ePHASE-X™, A Revolution in Sound Imaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAn innovation to the MZ4 driver is the Phase-X™ system created by Rinaro as a way to minimize phase distortion issues, typically found in closed-back headphone designs. This patent-pending technology helps deliver an immersive spatial sound imaging. The Phase-X™ system improves the accuracy of spatial imaging, in-line with its open back counterparts, especially noticeable on binaural recordings.\n\u003ch3\u003eEar Pad - The Air Flow System of the Meze Audio Liric\u003c\/h3\u003e\nNew for the Liric is the introduction of an Ear pad Air Flow (EAF) system, developed by Rinaro, which reduces the weight and size of the Liric headphone through optimizing it’s acoustic volume. Precision cut air vents which run from the Liric ear cup chamber into the ear pads allow the MZ4 driver to utilise acoustic volume from the ear pads as well as the ear cup chamber. This significantly reduces the required size of the ear cup chamber allowing Liric to keep a compact and truly portable closed-back headphone profile without compromising on the acoustic performance.\n\u003ch3\u003ePressure - Equalization System\u003c\/h3\u003e\nA precisely tuned air vent hole can make a world of difference in how you perceive the sound around you, that is why we’ve learned and adapted from our previous experiences and decided to add our Pressure Equalization System in Liric’s ear cups as well. The result: better controlled airflow, improved ear cup chamber pressure, and a sound that is airy, transparent, detailed and flows naturally, enveloping you into a whole new world of music.","brand":"Meze Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42185707618379,"sku":"0615517935549","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/7790\/9323\/files\/IMG_0697.webp?v=1772792760"},{"product_id":"repeat-audio-day","title":"Repeat Audio Day","description":"Next to the wireless models from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/the-soundkitchen.com\/brands\/repeat-audio\/\"\u003eRepeat Audio\u003c\/a\u003e, they also have a closed-back dynamic wired headphone: the Repeat Audio Day.

And because we buy more and more devices that we use for a few years at most. This makes E-waste the fastest growing waste stream.

The latter is a fancy word for burn. And some of it not even here; E-waste is still being shipped illegally to countries in Africa or Asia.\n\nIt is forbidden to export electronic waste to developing countries, because toxic chemicals from the devices can be found there. pollution and health damage cause. But working discarded devices are allowed on the boat. And so containers full of discarded devices, which often turn out not to work upon arrival, end up on rubbish dumps in Africa after all, where nature and people suffer as a result.\n\nBesides causing enormous environmental damage, it is also a waste of money. Every year, we dump, bury and evaporate for €52 billion in value - that is three times the value of all the silver processed annually2.\nsmart design is the solution\n\nThat is why we take a different approach to the manufacturing process. In fact, Repeat's headphones are made so that when individual parts break, they can be replaced independently.

E3’s striking black and blue aesthetic, ergonomic shape, and Gorilla Glass 3 clad cups are just a preview to the exciting upgrades within.\n\nE3 combines meticulous tuning and state of the art engineering to achieve our legendary “open-back listening experience” in a closed headphone. Meticulous tuning and engineering integrate our patent-pending Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS) with an all-new 5th generation driver to achieve a listening experience that is not only incredibly musically accurate it’s also astoundingly fun! E3 delivers the kick of mule when called upon to rock, yet teases out the finest nuances of your most detailed recordings.\n\u003ch3\u003eAcoustic Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS)\u003c\/h3\u003e\nA critical feature of E3 is the enhanced AMTS tuning system, previously found only in the flagship multi- award winning Stealth, Expanse, and Corina headphones. E3 not only brings this ground-breaking technology to a more affordable headphone, it does so with a new mode of implementation. All headphones are subject to high-frequency standing waves which can make treble sound harsh, fatiguing, or synthetic.\n\nAMTS is a patent pending inline device placed between the transducer and ear that integrates waveguides, diffusion control, and resonators into one compact structure that eliminates standing waves while giving us complete control of the high-frequency response profile. AMTS tuning architecture is “not one size fits all,” it is custom tuned for each headphone to deliver an optimized experience for each transducer.\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanar Driver Performance Revisited\u003c\/h3\u003e\nDan Clark Audio E3’s all-new 5th generation planar-magnetic driver delivers the smoothest, richest, and most detailed experience we could create to date. Its innovative diaphragms are made on an all-new tensioning system for a more uniform and consistent performance, lower distortion, and enhanced consistency. Extensive R\u0026amp;D was spent optimizing E3’s planar driver. New diaphragm materials combined with highly optimized V-Planar knurling deliver a remarkably smooth frequency response with low distortion throughout the listening range for levels of detail heretofore found primarily in the top-of-the-line electrostatics, all with an exceptionally easy and fun tonal balance.\n\nUnlike many headphones where “detail” is created through exaggerated high-frequency energy, E3’s new drivers coupled with AMTS deliver exceptionally high resolution without the fatiguing distortions and rough frequency response users may be used to.\n\u003ch3\u003eGorilla Glass - Bass Port Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe E3 is a stunning looking headphone, from the stitched headband to the all new Gorilla Glass 3 finish on the cups. Gorilla Glass 3 is a thin sheet of alkali-aluminosilicate that makes the glass stiffer and more scratch and break resistant, and the styling of the pattern under the glass evokes the mesh of an open-back headphone, a design cue to highlight the exceptionally open-back listening experience E3 delivers.\n\nIf you look closer you would notes holes in the glass. These holes are part of the Dual-Mode Bass Port design, another Dan Clark Audio innovation for this headphone. While it’s not unusual to find a bass port on a closed headphone, our ingenious dual-mode port delivers unrivaled control of the bass frequency response, creating a superbly balanced, impactful bass experience that is full of power yet free of bloat or midrange creep.","brand":"Dan Clark Audio","offers":[{"title":"4 pin XLR - 2m - Vivo","offer_id":42327958421579,"sku":"701233986108","price":2459.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 pin XLR - 3M - Vivo","offer_id":42327958454347,"sku":"701233986109","price":2519.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5mm - 1.1m - Vivo","offer_id":42327958487115,"sku":"701233986110","price":2459.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5mm - 1.1m - Vivo","offer_id":42327958519883,"sku":"701233986111","price":2459.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.4mm - 1.1m - Vivo","offer_id":42327958552651,"sku":"701233986112","price":2459.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.4mm - 2m - Vivo","offer_id":42327958585419,"sku":"701233986113","price":2459.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/7790\/9323\/files\/e3-001.png?v=1776865528"},{"product_id":"final-audio-ux2000","title":"Final Audio UX2000","description":"\u003ch2\u003eFinal Audio UX2000 ANC Bluetooth Wireless Headphone\u003c\/h2\u003e\nFinal designed this headphone for all-day comfort and usability, the UX2000 has a multi-fit housing structure with multiple points of adjustment for getting that perfect fit.

Since its introduction, VOCE has won numerous awards for \"Product of the Year\" and \"Best Headphone\" from preeminent publications such as Positive Feedback, Absolute Sound, Headphonics, and Headphone Guru.\n\nBut as usual, the team at Dan Clark Audio strives to continuously advance the performance of their products, and today they proudly introduce the CORINA Reference Electrostatic Headphone, taking electrostatic musicality into a future of fun!\n\u003ch3\u003eAcoustical Metamaterial Tuning System\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIncorporating the Advanced Metamaterial Tuning System (AMTS), CORINA is DCA's first electrostatic headphone featuring their industry-leading AMTS technology first seen with the groundbreaking Stealth and Expanse headphones. With AMTS, frequency response is significantly smoother throughout the midrange and high frequencies, free of annoying “peaks and holes” for a smoother, more complete, accurate, and enjoyable listening experience.\n\nAMTS allows DCA to re-imagine the voicing of CORINA to deliver the most natural midrange heard in an electrostatic to date. From powerful bass to the incredibly rich and well-balanced mids and highs, CORINA delivers an incredibly smooth and lifelike experience, full of electrostatic resolution, yet free from the high-frequency emphasis \/ glare common to many electrostatics.\n\u003ch3\u003eNew Voicing\u003c\/h3\u003e\nBy reducing the emphasis on higher frequencies typical of many electrostatics headphones, VOCE delivered a new take on how the electrostatic headphone could sound. With a wider and deeper soundstage, a stronger bottom end, and a smoother, richer midrange, CORINA delivers a fun, yet lifelike tone with sumptuous vocals and bass that really kicks. Unlike many electrostatics, CORINA is even fun with electronica and rock.\n\u003ch3\u003eEar Pad Matching\u003c\/h3\u003e\nNew ear pads have been developed with enhanced ergonomics, including a synthetic suede surface for the face contact, avoiding sweat and “hot spots” common to headphones. There’s more to ear pads than just their comfort, though. As most listeners know, ear pads can affect the sound of headphones dramatically.\n\nWhile drivers can be precision matched, ear pads, which involve welding or stitching fabrics and use of foams, have always limited the actual tolerances of the headphone. All CORINA new and replacement ear pads are delivered as matched pairs to further tighten the tolerances between the left and right channels and reduce unit-to unit-variances.\n\u003ch3\u003eMultiple Comfort Enhancements\u003c\/h3\u003e\nCORINA utilizes the new self-tensioning headband design found in the flagship Stealth and Expanse headphones, for an incredibly comfortable yet hassle-free fit. Paired with the new ear pads and using DCA's signature titanium alloy headband design, CORINA is incredibly comfortable to wear.\n\u003ch3\u003eNew Industrial Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\nDan Clark Audio has always taken pride in industrial design, and CORINA is no exception.

This new headphone represents Japanese engineering with a revamped speaker structure and the meticulous craftsmanship of the Washi paper ear pads. The manufacturer’s unique AFDS planar magnetic driver perfectly combines the well know luscious mids, textured highs and dynamics in the low-end.\n\u003ch3\u003eDriver Engineering: Optimizing AFDS for D7000\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAs one of the top headphone manufacturers in Japan, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/the-soundkitchen.com\/category\/brands\/final-audio\/\"\u003eFinal\u003c\/a\u003e has extremely deep technology for driver development. When reviewing the complete design of the new Final D7000 headphone, they reduced the weight significantly compared to the D8000 (Pro) from the diaphragm, all the way to the chassis, headband and ear pads.\n\nIn the past, with the development of the “Air Film Damping System, AFDS” Final has made comprehensive improvements to the structure of flat-panel units in order to enhance the sense of low-frequency volume and space of flat-panel headphones. In short, by adding a metal perforated plate between the magnet and the diaphragm, the internal airflow of the unit operation is used to drive the diaphragm, so that the diaphragm will not collide with the magnet and affect the sound. The AFDS design benefits the tensioning of the diaphragm making the low-frequency volume feel deeper and more natural.\n\nFor the D7000 Final has redesigned the “Air Film Damping System. The original dual-magnetic structure which is used in the D8000 and D8000 Pro has been changed for this headphone to a single-magnetic structure and performs push-pull actions at the same time. Therefore, the diaphragm has a larger activity space, and the amplitude of the diaphragm becomes larger, which can effectively create a more powerful low-frequency response and a sense of space.\n\u003ch3\u003ePinna-align Diffuser\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the D7000 Final has incorporated the concept of acoustic adjustment using diffusion, which is becoming standard in professional recording studios with the latest acoustic design. In the early development of the D8000 the engineering team had already the idea to incorporate a diffuser. Under ideal conditions it yielded great results, however they stumbled upon various difficulties as the shape of the outer ear (pinna) differs from person to person. This results in large differences in the perceived sound quality. To solve this issue they repeatedly conducted simulations and actual hearing experiments that matched various outer ear shapes, and finally arrived at the shape of the diffuser that was optimal for every user. This Pinna-align diffuser is now added to the earcup design of the Final D7000.\n\u003ch3\u003eNewly-developed open type earpads\u003c\/h3\u003e\nMost headphones, both closed-back and opened-back headphones, have sealed earpads in order to extend the reproduction frequency to the low-end to compensate for the lack of bass reproduction of the driver unit. In order to create high-quality bass, the driver unit itself must be capable of reproducing those low frequencies and should be paired with more open earpads.\n\nFinal D-series headphones already have the extension of the bass frequencies through AFDS, so it has become possible to sufficiently reproduce bass frequencies even with earpads that are not sealed tightly. For the D7000 Final has made ear pads made from a special fabric made from Japanese paper that is both dry to the touch and durable, achieving high durability with antibacterial\/odor-eliminating properties.\n\u003ch3\u003eProduced in Kawasaki in pursuit of precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe D series is manufactured at Final’s headquarters in Kawasaki. The accuracy of product assembly depends not only on the accuracy of the parts, but also on the accuracy of the jigs that assist in assembly. We design and manufacture production jigs in-house so that slight variations in component precision can be fine-tuned during assembly.","brand":"Final Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42185715581003,"sku":"4571303223855","price":3299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/7790\/9323\/files\/Final-D7000-side2.webp?v=1776945805"},{"product_id":"meze-audio-liric-2nd-generation","title":"Meze Audio LIRIC 2nd Generation - EX-DEMO","description":"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/the-soundkitchen.com\/category\/brands\/meze-audio\/\"\u003eMeze Audio\u003c\/a\u003e LIRIC 2nd generation is turning a page on a new chapter within \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/duneblue.com\/brands\/meze-audio\/\"\u003eMeze Audio\u003c\/a\u003e.

The new driver is significantly more rigid than it’s predecessor, with superior unit to unit consistency, reduced distortion, improved reliability, and smoothed frequency response.\n\nExtensive R\u0026amp;D investments were made to optimize other aspects of NOIRE X’s planar driver. New manufacturing processes combined with highly optimized V-Planar knurling deliver a remarkably smooth frequency response with low distortion throughout the listening range, achieving levels of detail heretofore found primarily in DCA's top-of-the-line headphones.\n\nLeveraging a state-of-the-art Audio Precision 555B and B\u0026amp;K 5128 measurement system, we’ve carefully integrated NOIRE X’s new driver with a patent-pending AMTS and redesigned ear pads to create an experience you’ll never forget.\n\u003ch3\u003eSelf-Tensioning Headband\u003c\/h3\u003e\nA self-tensioning headband reduces listening fatigue by distributing pressure evenly across your head for a balanced, barely-there fit.\n\nThe uniform pressure distribution helps prevent hot spots and pressure points, making NOIRE X ideal for long hours of immersive listening, free from adjustments or strain.\n\u003ch3\u003eGorilla Glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\nNOIRE X is a stunning yet understated headphone, from the stitched headband to the all-new Gorilla Glass 3 finish on the cups. Gorilla Glass 3 is a thin sheet of alkali-aluminosilicate that makes the glass stiffer and more scratch and break-resistant than conventional glass formulations.\nNOIRE X’s striking minimalist aesthetic is completed with the tone-on-tone understated NOIRE X logo.\n\u003ch3\u003eLuxurious Comfort with Upgraded Ear Pads\u003c\/h3\u003e\nNOIRE X includes all-new ear pads to ensure an exceptionally comfortable experience. Using Alcantara synthetic suede on the contact surface reduces heat and moisture buildup, ensuring cool comfort during extended listening sessions, even in warmer or more humid environments.\nIn addition, the NOIRE X Ear Pads are designed to reduce “foam rolling,” so the pads will have a longer usable life, and more consistent fit and operation. NOIRE X Ear Pads are backward compatible with those on the AEON 2 NOIRE, AEON RT Closed, and AEON 2 Closed headphones.\n\u003ch3\u003eEnhanced Connectivity with Versatile Cable Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\nNOIRE X offers a comprehensive range of cable terminations at the base price, including combo 1\/4\" and 3.5mm tips, 4-pin XLR, and 4.4mm.

From looks to technology, Meze Audio products are designed to surpass all short-living trends and become heirlooms, rather than just headphones. Today, founder Antonio Meze and his skilled team design and develop their products in Baia Mare, Romania, in the spirit of their original ‘no-compromise’ vision.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRinaro Isodynamics\u003c\/h3\u003e\nRinaro originated in the USSR (today’s Ukraine) during the Cold War as part of a state-funded acoustic technology research program. With government backing and access to advanced testing facilities, the team was able to focus all of its efforts on planar magnetics. A field they have continued to innovate in for the last 30 years, since the collapse of the USSR. In the last decade, Rinaro have expanded their capabilities and capacity with the development of state-of-the-art R\u0026amp;D and manufacturing facilities in Ukraine and Poland.

The color we chose for this headphone is similar to what tungsten looks in its final form, and we chose it as a visual metaphor for our commitment to making things that are reliable, things that last well through the years. We achieved this stone-like texture by coating each piece of the frame with Cerakote™, one of the best types of finishes out there.\n\nTraditionally used for the automotive, aerospace, defense, and healthcare industries, Cerakote™ coatings are renowned for their high resistance, unmatched hardness and outstanding UV resistance.

Seven years have passed since its release, and the design of the old model \"D8000\", which has become a long seller with a total of over 2,000 units in Japan and overseas, has been reviewed from scratch, and has developed a new flagship headphone. The driver unit's diaphragm was reviewed from manufacturing technology, and the proprietary technology \"AFDS: Air film Dumping System*\" is redesigned all punching metal holes, pitches and patterns. In addition, removing the magnet in front of the driver has increased the opening rate of about 70 % compared to the old model. Furthermore, the ear pad has been changed to 1.5 times thicker than the previous one, increasing the volume of the acoustic space. In addition to the sound that combines the conventional openness, the low range with a sense of quantity, and the delicate high range, the sound stage has become more detailed, achieving a vast sound stage.\n\nIn addition, by changing the above design, the body is reduced by about 100g, and by adopting a special Japanese paper fabric, it has a feeling of mounting that emphasizes dry comfort and comfort without sealing.\n\n*… “AFDS: Air Film Dumping System” is a trademark or registered trademark of FINAL Co., Ltd.\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/3106\/3190\/files\/241030_D8000-DC_B_09.png?v=1730427842\" alt=\"Image name\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEquipped with evolved \"AFDS: Air film Dumping System\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe conventional plane magnetic field driver needed to increase the frequency of the driver unit that can be played, because the diaphragm contacts the structure in a low range when the amplitude of the diaphragm is large. With the old model D8000, the unique technology \"AFDS\", which controls the movement of the diaphragm using the viscosity of the air, has become possible to overcome the problem and lower the low -frequency playback frequency. This solved the problem that the reproducibility of the bass, which was a weak point of a plane magnetic field type, was low. This is a technique that can be said to be a reconstruction of a plane magnetic field type.\n\nFurthermore, in the D8000 DC, this \"AFDS\" was further evolved, and all the holes, pitches, and patterns of the punching metal used were redesigned. In addition, punching metal of different patterns is adopted before and after the diaphragm. As a result, combined with a breathable ear pad to achieve a bass with a sense of volume and openness. The ultra -light film diaphragm is molded by etched with extremely thin aluminum foil. As a result, a dynamic -type structure in which the drawer line of the coil is bonded to the diaphragm is unnecessary, and the vibration system is reduced to about 1\/3. As a result of pursuing fundamental correctness, we have realized delicate high -frequencies that were not previously obtained.\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/3106\/3190\/files\/241030_D8000-DC-Pro_B_10.png?v=1730427843\" alt=\"Image name\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/3106\/3190\/files\/241030_D8000-DC-Pro_B_15_1.png?v=1730461881\" alt=\"Image name\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/3106\/3190\/files\/240205_D7000_B_17_abadbcf4-7c31-4f00-8060-bcb93927df3f.png?v=1730443683\" alt=\"Image name\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/3106\/3190\/files\/240205_D7000_B_18_96ac4466-ed62-4a78-b62d-0c479f02dac2.png?v=1730443683\" alt=\"Image name\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/3106\/3190\/files\/240205_D7000_B_19_3578be4b-1058-495a-a5df-0aae0c656037.png?v=1730443683\" alt=\"Image name\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/3106\/3190\/files\/240205_D7000_B_20_8f6171c7-7d1d-4939-919a-fc72b14c929a.png?v=1730443683\" alt=\"Image name\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/3106\/3190\/files\/240205_D7000_B_21_2c9d2d15-6357-4b0a-86cb-ee9c664da833.png?v=1730443683\" alt=\"Image name\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAluminum magnesium alloy cutting housing\u003c\/h2\u003e\nTo establish AFDS, it requires extremely high accuracy than a general driver unit.
