Redefining What You Expect from Wired Earphones: Introducing the Final A2000

Tokyo, Japan – 19th February 2026: Final announces the A2000, a brand-new wired in-ear monitor designed to deliver exceptional clarity and energetic low-end performance at an accessible price point. Built around Final’s in-house “f-Core DU” dynamic driver and developed using a newly established sound evaluation methodology, the A2000 redefines what can be expected from wired earphones in its class.

The Final A2000 will be available from selected retailers worldwide for $79.99 / £79.99 / €74.99 from 19th February 2026.

With the A2000, each note is precisely imaged and clearly defined. The result is an unmistakable signature that combines extreme clarity with tight, energetic low-end impact - delivering a balanced and engaging sound across all genres.

The A2000 is the result of Final’s new sound-quality evaluation methodology, first developed during the creation of the flagship A10000.

Rather than relying solely on fixed sound-pressure testing, Final analysed how music is experienced in real-world listening conditions - across varying volumes and recording qualities. This evaluation approach ensures the A2000 remains natural, controlled and musical in everyday use.

At the heart of the A2000 is Final’s 6mm “f-Core DU” dynamic driver - designed entirely in house. Every component, from diaphragm and voice coil to magnet and production equipment, has been carefully engineered by Final.

A brass front housing reduces magnetic interference, while an ultra-fine 30μm CCAW voice coil improves transient response. Each diaphragm is pressed in small batches resulting in uniform, distortion-free performance with outstanding clarity and control.

Building on the design philosophy of the B Series, the A2000 achieves a stable three-point support fit — at the ear pocket, eartip and tragus — reducing pressure while maintaining security. The result is a remarkably natural, almost custom-like feel across a wide range of ear shapes.

The housing features a striking two-tone design, pairing classic black with vivid blue accents, finished with Final’s textured “shibo” coating to resist fingerprints and maintain a clean appearance.

A high-precision 0.78mm 2-pin connector and soft black OFC cable minimise microphonics and ensure flexibility, while five sizes of dual-hardness silicone eartips (SS/S/M/L/LL) provide optimal seal and comfort.

• Driver: Dynamic (f-Core DU)
• Connector: 0.78mm 2-pin
• Cable: Black OFC cable (1.2m)

Established in 2007, Final began as a subsidiary of the major American connector brand; in 2014, it became 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 how 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.
