A Reimagined Beginning
The "DC" in D8000 DC stands for "Da Capo," which symbolizes a return to the beginning—a complete reconstruction of our flagship headphones with a fresh, innovative approach.
Seven years have passed since the original D8000 made its debut. Leveraging new manufacturing technologies and the expertise we've developed over this time, final has meticulously redesigned the entire D8000 system from the ground up.
AFDS: Air Film Damping System
The Air Film Damping System (AFDS) planar magnetic driver has been completely overhauled to deliver superior transient response and lower distortion, enhancing both the tonal quality and sound resolution. To unlock the full potential of this newly designed driver, we have re-engineered the acoustic chamber within the housing and reshaped the ear pads for optimal sound performance.
Design Features
The ear pads and headband are made from the same high-quality Washi paper material used in the D8000 Pro Limited Edition, ensuring both durability and comfort. In addition to the sound improvements, we've reduced the weight of the D8000 DC by 120 grams and adjusted the headband's clamping force to provide the most comfortable, stress-free listening experience we have ever offered.
The D8000 DC Pro comes in an elegant matte-silver. This version has been refined to handle higher playback volumes, significantly minimizing the rattling issues found in the original D8000.
