Final is a Japanese audio company with a reputation for beautifully-built, uniquely-tuned, eye-wateringly expensive headphones. And though its planar driver D series – led by the $4,499 D8000 Pro – strikes fear into the wallets of audiophiles around the world, in 2025 they pivoted into the dynamic driver DX series, with its 'affordable' $600 DX3000CL (still no chance of it making my list of the best budget audiophile headphones.)
