Distinctive and Clear Sound Quality! The E2000 Earphones Sound as if the Music was Played Right In Front Of You!
The E2000:
Sound quality design based on the latest acoustic engineering and psychological research results. Clear sound quality that makes music resound pleasantly. Final Audio Design has carried out the sound design of this product based on the latest acoustic engineering and psychological research results. Using the usual method of sound creation whereby certain high frequencies are emphasized, you're given to feel vivid sound when you first listen, but because of this, other ranges become clouded and hard to hear.
With the E2000, not creating a range that is emphasized makes for clear sound quality. Added to this, giving high frequencies the slightest distinctiveness has you experiencing the same sense of realism you would if the music were played right in front of you. With this product, Final Audio Design has aimed at sound quality that makes the music resound pleasantly for a "standard" whose value you feel the more you use it over time rather than just in its appeal when you first listen to it.
Sound creation based on acoustic engineering and psychology:
Final Audio Design has carried out the sound design of this product based on the latest acoustic engineering and psychological research results. Using the usual method of sound creation whereby high frequencies are given a sharp peak and certain high frequencies are emphasized, you're given to feel vivid sound when you first listen, but because of this peak, the anteroposterior ranges are masked and hard to hear. With the E series, making the arc of the frequency response smooth overall ensured that no bands were masked, and Final Audio Design has achieved high resolution.
Unique swing-fitting earpiece mechanism:
With their swing fit mechanism, the earpieces can be swung left and right and tilted 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 audio canal. The sound is transmitted directly to the eardrum, delivering clear sound.
6.4mm dynamic driver unit:
The precision involved in assembling the parts for the driver unit is of the utmost importance. The small-aperture 6.4mm diameter dynamic driver unit boasts an extraordinarily high level of precision for this price range.
Highly rigid machined aluminum housing:
Compared to a plastic housing, this housing machined from aluminum with a alumite finish firmly supports the driver unit and suppresses unnecessary vibrations. Fitting of a device for the mature listener, this is a design that has a simple shape and a high-quality texture matched with what could be termed classic sound quality.
Stainless steel mesh housing back:
There is an aperture on the back of the housing which act to extend the reproduction band of low frequencies. To prevent sound leakage from the apertures there is a filter inside, and stainless steel mesh has been added to the outside.
Original ear pieces that come in 5 sizes:
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 by having groove processing applied to it, combines both strength and flexibility. Soft silicon has been employed for the earbud, making for a comfortable fit and a high level of sound insulation. Comes in 5 sizes – SS/S/M/L/LL.
Ear hooks that alleviate cable touch noise:
With similar existing products, it was assumed that they would be fitted to ears of differing sizes; not only were they large in size, their appearance was rather too distinct, and it took a lot to get accustomed to fitting them. Having considered what the key to fitting the ear hooks was, we discovered a form that was smaller than existing ear hooks, that didn't utilize metal or resin wires and fit the ears of more people. Final Audio Design has achieved something that is slim and does not have a foreign feel to it, making for the kind of comfort that has you forgetting you're wearing them. Cable noise – the unpleasant noise that occurs when the cable touches the user's body when they are walking – is dramatically reduced.
Original cable that suppresses touch noise:
Taking touch noise into consideration, soft, flexible coated material has been employed. When using ear hooks also, it moves flexibly, making for a good fit.
Aging:
Aging refers to the phenomenon whereby sound changes with sustained use over a set period of time. With the driver unit, the extremely thin film that is heated and shaped vibrates to create sound. The reason for this is not clear, but the stress from the adhesive and the stress applied when shaping the film settles down as it is used, and it is thought that perhaps micro-signals move more freely.
With this product, because of the small apertures, an extended length of time is necessary for changes according to aging become hard to identify. Generally, 150-200 hours of regular use increases delicacy and sound quality follows the intent of the original design. *Since the reason for sound quality improving through aging has not been clearly established, nothing could be clearly stated about aging until now. Final Audio Design has been checking this phenomenon, and have decided to express their opinions so as to collect as many questions regarding aging from customers as possible.
How to wear the earphones:
Please refer to the earpiece swing fit mechanism while fitting the product; align the product at an angle where it fits smoothly into the ear. Please check the L (left) and R (right) indicators on the housings. Holding the product, fit into the ears using a slight twisting motion. Since sound quality differs greatly according to the positioning of the ear piece, move each ear phone around while playing music until you find the position with the balance that suits you best. Once you have experienced this position, it will be easier to find subsequently. *The L (left) bush has a left and right identification protuberance, so that it is possible to distinguish between left and right in the dark by feel. *It is usual that a person's ears differ in shape from left to right. As such, the optimum positioning of the product differs from left to right.
Sound quality reviews:
Not emphasizing specific ranges makes for clear sound quality. Giving high frequencies the slightest distinctiveness allows you to feel the vocals at close range, and has you experiencing the same sense of realism you would if the music were played right in front of you. Low frequencies are tight and sharp overall; in addition to pop and rock music, the Final Audio Design E2000 Earphones are also suited to EDM, and you can enjoy sharp sound with a sense of reality to it.
"I canÂ’t commend the E2000 more for their price/performance ratio, as far as sound is concerned, the E2000 makes for a very easy recommendation. They are V-shaped but very tastefully so, clear and natural in their presentation and their soundstage is separated and spacious to top it off. While they arenÂ’t explicitly neutral, the E2000 is very engaging without overstepping any boundaries with their bass or treble emphasis...if youÂ’re looking for a natural, clear yet vibrant in-ear for listening in quieter environments, the E2000 is sonically competitive with a lot of the better $100 in-ears out there. This is one of those rare instances where an earphone truly outperforms its price class rather than simply placing well within it." - Dobrescu George, head-fi.org, October 2017
