The A5000 comes with ear hooks, cable, case and an assortment of ear tips. The cable has a really nice look and feel to it that turned out to be very tangle resistant. It felt pretty premium especially considering the A5000’s price point. The tips are also of really high quality. I bought a set of the same tips a few years ago on a friend’s recommendation and I have used them a lot. Lastly, the case is neat clamshell design. It has a premium feel. Guess what? I was wrong in both! Just a few months ago, Final presented A4000 and A3000, two lower, actually way too lower, value IEMs than A8000. While, on April 26, 2021, Final launched SHICHIKU.KANGEN, which is the next big thing after A8000. Typically, SHICHIKU.KANGEN belongs to the Collaboration series, because it was developed in collaboration with the DITA Audio company; in reality though, it is of the same breed as A8000, at least in regard to its construction, and it costs almost 50% more than the latter.Well this reputation is kinda deserved, but at the same time it's not. The 800S sounds much wider than other headpones, even some twice or thrice the price (the Utopia comes to mind). The A4k sounds much wider than other IEMs, even some 10x the price (use the A8000 as a comparison). But this similarity doesn't mean the A4k has anywhere near the soundstage of the 800S, we're far from it.

As mentioned before, there is a dip in the mids that affects male vocals a bit more than female. It is not huge, but it is there. This is not a major issue to me but wanted to point it out. Another defining feature of the Final Audio A5000 is its particularly airy high end that seems to operate on a separate layer from it’s dense and tight subs and mid bass. Vocal air is abundantly present, and reverb and cymbal details are brought to the forefront of mixes without becoming overbearing. Though I didn’t find the high end particularly extended, it’s not heavily rolled off either, and is nonetheless a very prominent and emphasized feature in the A5000’s balance without being shrill or harsh. It also seems as though this highly revealing and refined high end plays a large role in giving the A5000 its fairly spacious stage and image. Those familiar with Final Audio IEM tunings won’t be unfamiliar with the fresh, airy treble timbre that I’m describing. Overall SILICONE CARRYING CASE​It is a silicon carry case that can be rolled up and stored easily. The earphone body is softly fixed with a dome-shaped thin silicone lid.

Sony NW-A105 Walkman: I like this pairing a lot as the warmer tones of the Sony tame the overly bright and sparkly tendencies. I was sent this unit as a member of the audio46 A5000 tour! This was the first time I was included on a review tour and it’s exciting for me to try this IEM. I have not been paid, bribed, drugged or accosted for a good review. I was only given a product in exchange for an honest review. The eartips provided enjoy so much popularity, I need not to expand on them. Great material, does not make your ear sweat exceedingly like an S&S will, no pressure buildup in the ear canal (compared to foams, or again the S&S for that matter), tonality wise it of course matches perfectly with the A4000. I don't like them so much on other IEMs, but that's outside the topic of this review. Summary: Departing from the common V-shaped consumer sound, the A4K provides the listener with enough vibrancy to be engaging but is still V-shaped. Just not a much so as others, who add more “oomph” up top. But in a smoother than normal manner. Bass could reach deeper for me as could its impact. That can be accommodated by EQing the sound. Mids are good but not great. I consider that part of the smooth nature. Male vocals are good and there is good clarity of note with both male and female vocals as well as the overall signature. I would not call it spacious but engaging again adding to that smooth sound to me. Upper mids are pushed forward, which seems to be the flavor de rigor, but not as much as others. With a fast decay, the notes heard are true and aid in that vibrancy of which I speak, but again to me the overall is of a smooth nature; especially when compared to the others here.
