Final Audio D8000 DC Pro Edition Semi-Open Back Planar Magnetic Headphones, Silver

The Final D8000 Pro DC represents a new beginning in the evolution of planar magnetic headphones. “DC” stands for “Da Capo,” meaning “from the beginning” - a fitting name for a headphone that redefines the original D8000’s legacy. Seven years after the debut of its predecessor, Final Audio has meticulously rebuilt the D8000 from the ground up, leveraging new materials, technologies, and design insights to produce a headphone that blends art, engineering, and acoustic perfection. The result is a model that offers remarkable precision, lifelike sound reproduction, and enhanced comfort for extended listening sessions.

At the heart of the D8000 Pro DC lies Final Audio’s signature Air Film Damping System (AFDS), a planar magnetic driver technology that delivers superior transient response and low distortion. This re-engineered system enhances both tonal balance and resolution, producing a soundstage that feels naturally open and immersive. The acoustic chamber within the housing has been completely redesigned, and the ear pads reshaped to optimize airflow and sonic performance, allowing the D8000 Pro DC to reproduce sound with stunning clarity and control, even at higher volumes.

Every element of the D8000 Pro DC showcases precision craftsmanship and thoughtful ergonomics. The headband and ear pads are crafted from premium Washi paper material - a lightweight, durable, and breathable fabric originally featured in Final’s Limited Edition models. Combined with an aluminum-magnesium alloy housing, the structure achieves exceptional durability while being 120 grams lighter than the original D8000. A fine-tuned headband clamping force ensures a stable yet gentle fit, allowing long, fatigue-free listening. Finished in an elegant matte silver, the D8000 Pro DC is both visually refined and sonically exceptional, offering one of the most comfortable and high-performing listening experiences in the audiophile world.
