Final Audio F7200 Balanced Armature Small Earphone – DEMO UNIT Final Audio

DEMO UNIT

Extremely small and lightweight, with a perfect fit and high sound insulation properties. Situated close to the wearer’s eardrum and being highly airtight, this model delivers high resolution, a vast sound stage and rich bass tones. Employs an MMCX connector and original high-purity silver-coated OFC cable.

Bringing the driver unit closer to the ear drum achieves an even more realistic, vivid sound quality. In order to achieve this in the F7200, we meticulously downsized the housing with a design consisting of the minimum possible elements. With a diameter of 5.5 mm and a housing weight of 2 g, this miniaturized housing is made of stainless steel. Its design inhibits unnecessary vibration and achieves clear sound quality. Final’s unique method of using full-range balanced armature drivers across all models recreates bass tones with a fullness you would never imagine from the housing size. We recently developed a new original silver-plated cable that achieves a wide sound stage. This cable allows re-cabling with MMCX connectors. The earphone comes with an ear hook to prevent micro phonics from the cable. This is one of final’s favorite models, realizing all aspects of sound quality and ease of use in a higher dimension.

Housing design that minimizes the distance between the ear drum and the driver unit

You can position the product to be at the back or at the entrance of the ear canal, and change the sound quality by choosing different earpieces.

Full-range balanced armature driver unit
We have used an ultra small full-range balanced armature driver unit.

Stainless steel machined high rigidity housing
We have used a stainless steel housing that inhibits unnecessary sympathetic vibration and contributes to producing clear sound.

Manufactured at our own factory, this model espouses precisionThe F7200 model is manufactured at our head office in Kawasaki. Together with the precision of individual parts, the precision involved in the assembly process depends on the precision of the tools known as jigs that assist in the assembly process. So as to be able to fine-tune even the slightest of irregularities in jig precision during the assembly process, we design and manufacture production jigs and measurement jigs ourselves. By undertaking everything from jig production through to product assembly in-house, we maintain the high quality of our products.

Choice of 2 types of earpiece
We’ve included silicone earpieces in 5 sizes and foam earpieces (COMPLY) in 3 sizes. Achieve a perfect fit no matter how large or small your ear canal is. Sealing performance is closely related to how the bass feels, as well as soundproofing performance. This system enables you to significantly change the fullness of the bass or the soundproofing performance.

MMCX Connector＆Original high purity OFC silver coated cable
We’ve used high-precision MMCX connectors from a famous Swiss manufacturer.

We’ve used high-purity OFC silver coated cables that provide a wide sound stage. These jointly-developed cables were originally designed by and are currently manufactured by the well-renowned Junkosha corporation for the purpose of being used with the supercomputer “Kei” due to their fast signal transmission speed.

The insulator film is made from PFA which was also developed by Junkosha who used their extensive know-how through the JUNFLON? brand to create the ultimate in low-permittivity material. The outer tube is made from PVC for maximum flexibility. The user will experience surprising flexibility that both makes the cable extremely easy to use as well as reducing the likelihood of microphonics. In addition, the MMCX plug and the 3.5 mm mini-plug have a tendency to disconnect so we’ve far exceeded the regular QA pass criteria of a 5,000-time bend test by changing the connection design to one that can withstand more than 50,000 bends.

Ear hook
The F series comes with an ear hook to reduce microphonics. Conventional products of the same type are slightly bigger in order to accommodate a range of ear sizes. This not only makes them stand out visually, it will also take you considerable time to get used to how they fit. As a result of re-investigating what the key is in attaching the ear hook, we discovered that making the ear hook smaller than normal, and doing away with metal or resin wires, meant the shape could fit more people’s ears.

Newly developed carry case
The carry case for the housing has also been newly developed. The earphones themselves are gently secured between thin domed silicone and a lid. This case is designed such that the cable is wrapped around the perimeter of the case and the plug is stored in the base compartment separate from the earphones. Cases that fix the earphones neatly in the same position might look good, but your cable will break more easily if it is stored in the same position every time. Our system satisfies opposing demands simultaneously – it takes into account damage that might be caused to the earphones themselves while preventing your cables from breaking by making sure they are not always wound into the same position. The resulting size fits in the palm of your hand, is lightweight, and easy to carry around.

Safe fit ring
The earphone comes with a safe fit rings (for silicon earpieces, for foam earpieces) so you can use your earpiece safely.
