Exceptional with a caveat
I have been into critical listening with headphones for some time, generally with a preference for open back cans. I own a number of higher end Grado's and regard myself as relatively critical of what I hear. Understanding the A4000 before a purchase can be tough given the number of widely differing You Tube opinions. They range from comments such as the A4000 are wonderous mini A-8000 's (Joshua Valour)to a well known audiophile reviewer (Currawong) simply declining to listen to them anymore as they found the 'sibilance' too strident. My opinion, which is probably of limited worth, is that these are truly stellar if you listen to music within certain parameters: classical, or acoustic based with high quality recordings on reasonably good equipment. They do work from a phone directly but definitely benefit from a Dac/Amp combo - even a simple one like the Fiio KA3 that I use. If your into bass dominated tracks like EDM or mainstream pop from compressed file sources then these will be bordering on unlistenable. I went from audio nirvana listening to Beethoven's violin concerto, to shouting out 'WTF' and switiching off my track when I tried Superheroes by Daft Punk. This track sounded extremely thin and sibilant, almost as if you were listening on a pair of free bundled ear buds. The clarity and separation between instruments on the Beethoven was however breathtaking. You could literally hear the bow hair gliding across the string along with other nuances that I have never heard even with my Grado's. Creaking of stools, a subtle percussion instrument, an intake of breath, woodwind keys as they hit their pads. Its all rather uncanny. Their spatial positioning is also extremely accurate with you knowing exactly where each instrument is positioned. With the right music the A4000 are superb, although I would say even under perfect music conditions they stray close at times to becoming a tad sibilant. They never quite get there, but you occasionally sense their at risk of over stepping the mark. These are not mini A8000's, as I suspect the A8000 can pull off their magic with every genre of music played through it without any risk of sibilance. The A4000 does however give you a little flavour, under the right conditions, of what higher end audio can achieve. Unfortunately for £120 (as you would expect) their is a massive compromise and that is for many genres of music they just wont sit right (e.g. EDM, bass driven stuff, mainstream pop). If like me you are into a wide range of musical genre's then this cannot happily be used as the only 'go-to' headphone. However if funds allow then possibly consider this as a second pair. The only issue is that when these work their brilliance, you will feel aggrieved that your other headphones (which may be more costly) don't sound as good!

A gem. A affordable way to enjoy the A series sound.
Final in the UK has been known for their Sonorous range. In 2020, i discovered their earphone range. My first Final Earphone was the impressive E5000' A4000 is equally impressive. Final has been in my top 2 brands for a wired earphones. As most of my music is Hi res.Bluetooth has not evolved to give to deliver true Hi Res. Capable Earphones with DAC's are needed. With or without, the A4000 is brilliant A detail rich sound.Having had opportunity to audition the flagship Final A8000, the sound DNA is present in the A4000. This Paired with a good portable DAC/ Headphone amp, sound is way better than wired earphones double the price. Depending upon source a DAC is only necessary for high res playback. Caution, increasing the sound to an unacceptable level the detail is lost and sibilance (especially on mids and high increases Comfort is great. Noise cancelling is acceptable for a wired earphoned with silicon tips.In summary, a gem of an earphone. Bags of detail. Comfortable, Well priced. Well done Final.N

Great but only after months
I got these initially amd was not impressed but I did compare them to Fiio Fh5s which is alot more expensive. After using them a while it seems like they got alot better.Also amp pairing makes a big difference. I got a new Hidiz S9 pro dongke and it seems to love it. They are higher impenence at 150ohm so you need to put alot of power through these to get best result. I can honestly say you probaby better off with Moondrop Aria's for half the price. Firstly these are plastic and look extremely cheap where Aria is steel and look significantly more premium.

Outstanding IEM's
1. Impeccable deep fit. Lightweight shells. The included final type e tips that are narrow bore with a thicker silicone, marginalize sibilant low frequencies whilst reinforcing midbass.2. Detachable 2 pin cable is lightweight amd never tangles.3. Sound signature. The presentation is not neutral but impeccably tuned. Vocals are instruments are pushed slightly back in the mix and thus invoking space and clarity. Thus is more preferable to Harmon curve tuned IEMs from Moondrop. The soundstage is industry leading. These are the Sennheiser HD800S of the IEM world. Lateral width and height are out of head, un-naturally wide due to low in ear compensation gain.4. Very easy to drive. Low impedance and high SPL. A balanced 4.4mm cable is not necessary.

Hd800's in your pocket
I had a lot of earbuds top rated ones like Onemore Sennheiser Klipsch Sony etc but these ones just blow my mind soundstage and image absolutely magnificent I have krk 7 studio monitors and 3 dac amp combo using it for gaming as well like Call of duty (I know this game audio not great but) and these a4000 is just next level I could hear a more detail and I could hear clean sound where enemy's are I was thinking that earbuds never would match headphones or studio monitors and I was wrong 100% worth buying for gaming and for music its not bad but only in specific area where soundstage is main thing. One more thing using topping a50 with a4000 I think amp with definitely increase it capabilities and give it time till your ears fully adjust to the sound you will be surprised what these a4000 are capable

I like them, a good set of IEMs
I like these - I have 5 IEMs now and wanted to try these - grabbed them on sale and have been wearing them since - not the best for volume or bass but it's there - they reveal parts of songs I'd never heard or noticed before so they have some tricks up their sleave. At first you will think they cheaped out on the cable, it feels like any regular rubbery headphone cable - but after days of use you'll appreciate that it works and doesn't get tangle or feel heavy like other over-the-top mulit-core/multi-strand IEM cables, these are much nicer to wear outdoors. Look cool too these IEMs, very discreet.

IEMS with soundstage that rivals over the ears
I have never heard another pair of iems so spacious before, I own Hifiman Sundaras and these are about as close as you can get in iem form when it comes to soundstage. Fantastic tuning as well, nice deep bass and incredible clean and crisp mids. Some people may not like the treble however, these are pretty sparkly up top. They aren't sibilant but they are definitely not too far off on occasion. I would say the highs remind me of something like the koss ksc75. For me these are tuned about perfectly for what I like. They feel a little cheap and plasticy, however the comfort is off the charts! I was not a fan of the ear hooks they came with so I replaced with a balanced 4.4 cable from triptowin, although these are easy to drive so they don't need the extra power at all. I highly recommend these and doubt you can find anything this well rounded near this in price, these are the best iems I have ever used by far.

Intentionally weird tuning
I ordered these based on a couple of YouTube reviews, none of which brought up a frequency response graph. I wanted a taste of what good soundstage sounds like from an IEM without spending big money, so I got them.They immediately sounded like they had a V-shaped signature, and while I don't typically aim for that sound signature, I had no problem with these.Treble:I liked these much more than my OH10s because while the frequency response graphs show a huge hump in the upper mids/treble for the A4000s, the OH10s sound much sharper. The A4000s certainly don't lack detail, but they come across as much smoother. If I had looked at the frequency response of the treble before buying these, I would not have bought them.Mids:They exist, just a little thin.Bass:This was the most surprising aspect of the sound for me. I wasn't expecting much coming from solid metal IEMs like the OH10s, Arias, and Tin T2s, but the bass is punchy, smooth, and round (in a pleasing way). It doesn't sound particularly fast, but it has great tonality. The sub-bass is slightly forward, but the mid-bass tapers well into the mids.Soundstage/imagingJust like everybody else says, very good. I don't have much else to say other than that it feels like the A4000s push everything away. It rarely feels intimate, even when it feels like it should. I've heard their more expensive model can do both intimacy and width, whereas it feels like these focus purely on width.Something to note is that I like to bring these to the gym because of 1, the comfort and fit; and 2, they scale extremely well with volume; they never sound crowded, the bass hits hard, and the treble never becomes too sharp. That being said, the filter on my right bud got soiled from what I am assuming was sweat, but after a couple days of drying, it appears that the filter is back to normal.I really began to appreciate this product after looking at the frequency response graph on Crinacle's website. While the mids are most definitely recessed, the graph tracks extremely well with the target between 500-2k after which the hump begins. The treble hump encroaches a little bit on the upper mids which leads to the mids sounding a little thin in general, but they avoided making any mistakes in the gain region and so vocals still generally sound natural enough. The treble is emphasized, but even, and returns back to the target after 10k which prevents them from sounding too sharp.I don't know why they don't sound sharp, but it's pretty cool. If I ever go into kilobuck range, the A8000 is definitely one of the options I'm looking at.

Des détails incroyables
Sans s'étaler en adjectifs et en superlatifs, ces intras sont absolument incroyables. La scène sonore est plus large que sur mon casque Sennheiser ouvert. Le niveau de détail est absurde. Foncez sur ces écouteurs, à ce prix là c'est l'affaire du siècle.La signature sonore est marqué en V, il y a beaucoup de basses et beaucoup de hauts médiums/bas aigus et cela peut devenir fatiguant si vous écoutez à haut volume.

Eines der besten IEMs auf dem Markt
Sehr gute Soundstage. Sehr weit und detailliert für einen IEM.Gute kristallklare Höhen und ordentlich starker Bass ohne in die Mitten zu bluten.Hervorragender Komfort. Kabel der mitgeliefert wird verknüllt nicht, hat aber leider einen proprietären 2 Pin Connector. Sprich Ersatzkabel gibts wenn nur vom Hersteller.Soundqualität ist aber so gut, dass ich das noch verkraften kann.

多ドラ信者でした。このイヤホンを買うまでは。 追伸あり
昔はダイナミックドライバーのイヤホンが好きだったのですが、ここ数年バランスドアーマチュアの中華イヤホンがとても安く販売されており、その虜になっておりました。中でもドライバーが沢山搭載されているイヤホンが好きで特にAS16が好みでした。今回こちらのイヤホンを購入するに当たって当初はKZのZARでも買おうかと思っていて色々なレビュー動画等を拝見しているとこちらのイヤホンが複数回紹介されていたのがFinalというメーカーとA4000というイヤホンを知ったきっかけでした。レビューでの情報を知れば知るほど興味が湧き、丁度ある困難を乗り越えた自分へのご褒美を考えていたのでこちらの購入を決定しました。さて、音質に関してはもう数多くのレビューが寄せられている名機であることは存じております。自分はDACも使わずスマホに直に刺して聞く位オーディオ初心者なのですが、このイヤホンの異様さは直刺し環境でも伺い知れます。まずこちらのイヤホンはドライバー経が6ミリの小さなドライバーを使用しているとの事ですが、ドライバーの口径=音質という概念が吹き飛ぶ音質で驚きました。まず音の解像度と言いましょうか、音のくっきり感がBAを片耳8基も積んだAS16よりもクッキリしているのがまずびっくりしました(AS16もかなりクッキリな音を出すが、ボーカル音に若干のモヤがかかる)基本的にはアニソンやJポップを聞くのですが、どの高音から低音まで満遍なく出るのでフラットな音質が好きな方にもおすすめです。(低温は出ないというレビューも多かったが普通に出たのでA3000が届いたのか?と一瞬戸惑った)正直多ドラに慣れてしまったらシングルのダイナミックドライバーイヤホンはもう二度と買うことはないんだろうなぁ、って思って舐めていた自分をぶん殴るようなイヤホンでビックリさせてもらいました。最後に星を減らす程でも無いけどマイナスポイントだなぁって思う点が2点ありまして、1つ目はシュア掛けする時に使うシリコン製のイヤーフックがAmazonで売ってないって所ですね。Finalの公式サイトに行けば送料200円で送ってくれるとの事なので問題ないのですが、Amazonで完結させたかった自分的にはちょっとマイナスポイントでした、個人情報打ち込むのも一々面倒ですし。もう一つは保証書の紙に乗っていた問い合わせ先はこちらと書かれていたQRコードのリンク先が死んでいた事です。どういう事ぉ?ってFinalのホームページに見に行ったら、直接問い合わせ出来たであろうページはなくなっていて、代わりにbotチャットに対応してもらうようになっていたことです。使えない問い合わせ先を乗せてるまんまの古い商品を送ってくるのはどうなの?ってちょっとだけモヤっとした点の2点でした。まぁそんな感じのレビューとなります。ダラダラと長文を書きましたが最後まで読んでもらってありがとうございました。追伸せっかく良いイヤホンを買ったのにスマホ直は勿体ないと思い人生初のアンプ付きのDACを購入しました。こちらのイヤホンはそのままでも十分音は良いですが、アンプで出力を強化されると化けます。是非お試しください。自分はFIIOのKA11を購入しました。
