Final Audio has launched the DX4000 CL, a new closed-back headphone slotting between its $599 closed-back DX3000 CL and the flagship open-back DX6000 in the brand's premium DX series. It goes on sale today at $999 / £949 / €999. And it's fair to say that pricing has raised an eyebrow or two... it's certainly out of the remit of our list of the best budget audiophile headphones.
The DX3000 CL only launched in November, and at a quick glance, these two headphones look virtually identical. Both use a 40mm paper-carbon composite dynamic driver, both sit in a resin housing, both weigh in at similar figures, and both share the same sensitivity and impedance specs.
