WIN! D8000! HiFi+ Competition
WIN! A fantastic pair of Final D8000 headphones worth €3,499!!!
Hi-Fi+ have teamed up with the innovative folks at Final to bring an exciting competition with the chance to win a fantastic pair of D8000 planar magnetic headphones.
The Final D8000 was reviewed by Chris Martens in issue 157 of Hi-Fi+.
In that review, Chris wrote, “Stated simply, the D8000 combines in roughly equal parts the following qualities: accurate and neutral voicing, high levels of resolution, superb transient agility from top to bottom, finely shaded dynamic contrasts, energetic expressiveness and impact, and—here is the trickiest part of all—remarkable freedom from audible ringing, overshoot, compression, and other forms of sonic ‘gunk’ that might ordinarily cloud the sound.”
Chris Martens also said,“…one challenge some planar magnetic drivers face is diaphragm over-excursion on high amplitude, low frequency bass notes (this typically occurs at the diaphragm’s centre where bass excursions are usually at a maximum).
Final addresses this problem partly through its ring-shaped voice coil/diaphragm/magnet assembly, but primarily through an ingenious air film damping system (AFDS).”
He concluded by saying, “To be candid, few headphones have captured my attention and musical imagination in the way that Final’s D8000 has.
Heartily recommended.”
The Final D8000 is one of the best headphones we have ever heard, irrespective of price.
As one lucky winner will discover.
