Final - E500

The team at Final strongly believes in creating earphones and headphones that are highly revered by people. Final earphones, like Swiss wristwatches and German Cars must be built to last forever and used as valuable antiques. The result of such careful consideration is a long-lasting, rational & emotionally valuable asset with the best sound quality and best design.

At the Final factory, the team of audio designers are dedicated to innovating audio products through research. Unlike other OEM manufacturers, they believe in designing their products in-house. This facilitates internal feedback between various teams and departments, encouraging the process for developing a long lasting product.

Final has a state-of-the-art company-owned “Final Store” located in Tokyo, Japan. This is open to all music lovers and audio enthusiasts to come in and experience Final’s range of headphones & earphones. The store proudly showcases their Japanese heritage and cultural artefacts. This represents Final's deep respect for the audio purist.

Final E500 features a powerful yet small-aperture 6.4mm diameter dynamic driver that has been precisely assembled to deliver cutting-edge audio quality. With this dynamic driver, you experience high-resolution audio with the frequency ranges tuned to deliver clean audio without masking any of the sounds for smooth and vivid audio. The Final E500 is designed to be combined with virtual reality and gaming consoles. The Final E500 delivers a natural spatial sound with a concentrated sense of direction.

The Final E500 features a unique swing-fit mechanism, allowing the earpiece to be able to move left and right and tilt towards the audio canal for a perfect fit. These prevent changes in shape owing to the aperture of the earpiece coming into contact with the auditory canal. The sound is transmitted directly to the eardrum, delivering clear sound. The sound conduit uses rigid silicone with a groove processing that combines strength and flexibility. The Final E500 is made from highly resilient ABS thermoplastic polymer material that is lightweight, robust while diminishing vibrations that would distort the sound. The simple housing of the final E500 can stand daily use while keeping in line with the design philosophy of final earphones.

The ear tips for the Final E500 have been designed from soft silicone for superior comfort and noise isolation. These come in 5 sizes and ensure that the sound is transmitted directly to the eardrum. Two types of silicon differing in rigidity are employed for the sound conduit and for the earbud that comes into contact with the user’s ear. The silicon used for the sound conduit is more rigid than that used for the earbud, and having groove processing applied to it, combines both strength and flexibility.

The Final E500 comes embedded with driver units with a diaphragm attached to a voice coil and adhesive agent. With audio signals flowing, the diaphragm moves in minute increments along with the voice coil and sound is produced. Over time, the diaphragm moves efficiently and the sound changes or ‘ages’. The E500 has a small aperture, and so an extended period is necessary for changes through ageing to become noticeable. When used over 150-200 hours, it should feel as though the sound has become stable. Favourable outcomes can be obtained through the ageing of the product by listening to the music you listen to at a volume you usually prefer.
