Final Audio has unveiled the DX6000, the first entry in its all-new DX headphones series.
Crafted “entirely from the ground up”, the brand’s latest open-back headphones employ proprietary driver technology to deliver a speaker-like listening experience that’s both highly transparent and emotionally expressive.
To start, at the heart of the DX6000 is a newly developed large-diameter dynamic driver featuring an ultra-lightweight magnesium dome diaphragm. Magnesium, chosen for its rigidity and neutral acoustic properties, allows the DX6000 to achieve “remarkably low distortion and a fast transient response”, says Final.
As for the diaphragm, it is housed within a monolithic injection-moulded structure using a proprietary adhesive-free silicone foam surround. This unique construction removes unnecessary weight and delivers perfect piston motion, resulting in a dynamic soundstage with natural spatial separation, rich lows, and detailed reproduction across the frequency range.
To complement the diaphragm design, engineers developed a free-air wired aluminium coil, made with trace element doping for enhanced conductivity. By eliminating traditional bonding points and soldering connections, signal purity is maintained and reverse resonance is dramatically reduced.
In addition, the DX6000’s internal acoustic networks features a crossover-less design, mimicking the linearity of a well-designed speaker, offering accurate high-frequency response without harshness. The headphones’ fully open housing structure, where the front and rear enclosures are seamlessly connected, meanwhile, results in a deep, uncoloured bass with remarkable presence.
Each DX6000 is also manufactured and manually acoustically matched at Final’s dedicated production line in Japan, ensuring exceptional quality control. Despite its complex engineering, the headphones remain light on the head, weighing just 363g (excluding cable). The open-back architecture and thoughtful weight distribution also make them ideal for long sessions.
Included is a 3-meter OFC balanced XLR cable, designed for high-resolution, low-noise signal delivery in reference listening setups.
Priced at $1,999/£1,899/€1,999, the Final DX6000 will be available to purchase from 28 April 2025 at selected retailers.
