28th April 2025, Brighton, UK: Final is proud to announce the DX6000, the first model in their all-new DX Series of headphones. Crafted entirely from the ground up, the DX6000 represents a new sonic philosophy for Final, leveraging proprietary driver technology to deliver a speaker-like listening experience that is both highly transparent and emotionally expressive.
The Final DX6000 will be available to purchase from 28th April 2025 from selected retailers for : £1,899 / €1,999 / $1,999.
Final sets a new standard in dynamic headphones
The DX6000 introduces a newly developed large-diameter dynamic driver, featuring an ultra-lightweight magnesium dome diaphragm. Magnesium, chosen for its rigidity and neutral acoustic properties, allows the DX6000 to achieve remarkably low distortion and a fast transient response. Despite the material’s challenges in processing, Final has utilised an advanced oxidation treatment and edge folding to perfectly balance durability and sonic performance.
The diaphragm is housed within a monolithic injection-moulded structure using a proprietary adhesive-free silicone foam surround. This unique construction removes unnecessary weight and delivers perfect piston motion, resulting in a dynamic soundstage with natural spatial separation, rich lows, and effortless detail.
Air-wired architecture and internal network tuning
To complement the diaphragm design, Final engineers have developed a free-air wired aluminium coil, made with trace element doping for enhanced conductivity. By eliminating traditional bonding points and soldering connections, signal purity is maintained and reverse resonance is dramatically reduced.
The DX6000’s internal acoustic network has been tuned for accurate high-frequency response without harshness. This crossover-less design enables pure and uninterrupted performance, mimicking the linearity of a well-designed loudspeaker. Thanks to the innovative dynamic driver design, featuring an exceptionally low resonant frequency (f₀), the driver itself naturally produces deep and powerful bass without relying on a sealed enclosure. As a result, the DX6000 features a fully open housing structure, where the front and rear enclosures are seamlessly connected. The result is a deep, uncolored bass with remarkable presence, where you can physically feel the natural flow of air vibrations from the driver to your ears.
Refined design and uncompromising specifications
At just 363g (excluding cable), the DX6000 offers long-session comfort thanks to its open-back architecture and optimised weight distribution. Each model ships with a 3-metre OFC balanced XLR cable, ensuring low-noise signal delivery for reference listening setups.
· Sensitivity: 83dB/mW
· Impedance: 47Ω
· Weight: 363g (excluding cable)
· Cable: 3m OFC XLR
Manufactured on its own dedicated production line in Japan, every unit undergoes strict quality control and manual acoustic matching by hand.
Pushing forward Final’s legacy
The DX6000 is a significant milestone for Final, representing a new price category and conceptual leap in their headphone range. Sitting between the renowned Sonorous and D8000 series, it brings together five decades of engineering excellence with a modern aesthetic and a no-compromise acoustic vision.
The Final DX6000 will be available from 28th April 2025, priced at £1,899 / €1,999 / $1,999, from Hifiheadphones, Audio Sanctuary and other authorised retailers.
About Final
Established in 2007, Final began as a subsidiary of the major American connector manufacturer Molex; in 2014, it went independent through an MBO by the current management team. Now is what you would call, its second formation.
Products such as earphones and headphones belong to a category known as current electrical appliances whose value is the greatest when they are brand new. We, however, would like to create earphones and headphones that people have an affinity for and continue to use in much the same way they have with a mechanical wristwatch, the kind that will be valued as an antique in the future. To that end, it is necessary to embody the design of the product and the way in which it is considered, including the repair system, as a concrete organization or structure.
Our brand concept is simple and has not changed since the company’s inception - “The comprehensive pursuit of things that are fundamentally right”. In our pursuit of this, we have actively adopted cutting edge technology such as 3D printers. We believe that such a pursuit is what creates a brand.
