Revolutionary Planar Magnetic Driver Design
At the heart of the D8000 DC Pro is the newly overhauled Air Film Damping System (AFDS) planar magnetic driver. This innovation delivers superior transient response and reduces distortion, enhancing tonal quality and sound resolution. Accompanying this new driver is a completely re-engineered acoustic chamber within the housing, and reshaped ear pads for optimal sound performance.
More About AFDS
With AFDS (Air Film Damping System), the planar magnetic model was reinvented. Leaving the merits of the planar magnetic model - a lightweight vibration system and superior reproduction of high frequencies - as is, the employment of AFDS expands the reproduction frequency band with a bass bias, and makes the use of breatheable earpads possible. Compared to the conventional planar magnetic model, with which tightly sealed earpads had to be used to supplement bass frequencies, the natural, open sound achieved is of a quality worthy of being termed a reinvention.
Premium Comfort and Durability
The ear pads and headband are crafted from the same high-quality Washi paper material found in the D8000 Pro Limited Edition and the D7000, ensuring durability and lasting comfort. By reducing the weight of the D8000 DC Pro by 120 grams and fine-tuning the headband’s clamping force, final has created the most comfortable, stress-free listening experience to date.
