Final A8000 IEMs - Silent Unboxing

Final wanted me to review their new IEM flagship. The box contents had some unique surprises.
Note: I put the ear guides on backwards at the end.

That cable removal tool is the best thing that happened to IEMs in the past year. Let's get Final to sell it alone.

[@simonadams6640]

What a great idea - the tool I mean. But having seen it now it should be easy enough to find a bit of plastic to cut into a similar shape.

I love your conscientious way of aproach (even unboxing) you and Z Review are like a black and white :)

[@bonkiru9818]

For the price asked honestly I expect more from the unboxing experience and the accessories, "gracefully minimalist" or not. Let's see if the performance can make up for it

[@Currawong]

They obviously went to a lot of trouble to design the case, which is the part, other than the IEMs themselves, that you're most likely to use. I suppose it is hard to top Sony though.

[@Der_Boratcho]

Amazing unboxing. Could be used for ASMR content as well !!! ;-)

[@DarkFireBlade25]

i do enjoy these videos lol. there's an interesting crossover of asmr and unboxing audio products

[@MatzRios]

FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for an English review on these. AND I AM SOOOOO GLAD it's you that'll be doing one soon. I'd be interested in what you think of them compared to the Sony IER-Z1R's.

[@Currawong]

I had to return the Z1Rs to the person I borrow them from, so a direct comparison wont be possible.

[@MatzRios]

@@Currawong even just by memory would be nice. I knew you had to return them. Did your friend end up getting custom eartips for the Z1Rs?

[@aRc11-11]

I think it surprised him when the cable flew off the mount. 🤯

[@sameermana2003]

I've never seen ear hooks like that... Can they be bought separately?

[@luezio8914]

That ear hook is nice, and the tool to remove mmcx cable

[@mhchanellis]

Wow, they even include filters

[@superochos]

The packaging looks like from a chocolate

[@wesleycorrearocha]

Only $1999.00 !

[@uglyfate1326]

Very cheap packaging and presentation as for the flagship model. Final Audio should borrow some stuff from another japanese brother such as the Acoustune.

[@Currawong]

True. For me, though I like the packaging of something like Sony's IER-Z1Rs, I'm glad the put the effort into things like the carry case and the design more so than making a fancy box which would just sit in the cupboard out of view.

[@danielgordon3773]

Speaking of which does it make sense to upgrade from the Acoustune hs1650cu to A8000 or the newest flagship 1695ti or it will be just minor improvements overall?

[@Z3l0S]

to much plastic .....

[@valeccylinder8703]

Expensive

[@kutokuro538]

Great! Waiting for your detailed review on this iem
