This is quite the upgrade on your video setup!! Better sound, much improved transition from the main video/voice over to the b-rolls! Truly goals now! Keep it up!! Can’t wait for more reviews from you!!
@@asheryeo1337 You definitely showed a lot of your character on those ones. I’m honestly contemplating how I’d do my future reviews too. I’m still so busy and backlogged with my reviews. I have 4 IEM reviews to write and shoot. But work has been keeping me busy. I’ll for sure make time for them soon. And looking forward to your videos!
I have thing for Final Audio ever since I bought their e3000. When I heard the A4000 was out I bought it immediately. I like it a lot and find it a very easy to get along with daily use earphone. I particularly like their light weight and the rugged feeling coating. I really enjoyed the video.
@@asheryeo1337 yup! The audio was great. Keep up the videos. And the little tidbits you put and explain that's really awesome! I hope you keep doing them.
I watched till "de blur blua bla" great review of FAD A-series. Quite informative and I am so happy to finally see an audio impression from a beautiful lady. Thank you for your video. I will continue watching more of your contents as soon as I can. Thanks again! Great video btw.
Brilliant comparison. First timer on your channel and looking forward to more content please. Quantity has a quality all its own. Feed us! Edit: How would the A4000 compare to the OG Andromeda’s?
Great review! I like the A4000, it feels a bit low rent next to some alternatives but is lightweight and a good fit. Sound is bright but not unpleasantly so and imaging is excellent for an affordable IEM. Bass isn't thumping heavy but is fine. They're a good, solid choice for anyone looking for good sound without spending $$$$$$$$s. And replaceable cables are always a comforting insurance policy.
Really nice review. I'm also a bit sensitive to treble like you, and don't prefer bright iems. Subscribed in a hope that my preference aligns with yours, and your recommendations will be a good purchase.
Nice comparisons! I’m contemplating getting a final audio a8000 for orchestral music such as Hans Zimmer but I’m afraid the shells are too big for smaller ears. Would you say they fit comfortably in small ears?
Hello Marko! I've used the ibasso DC01, the Ikko Zerda and the Lotoo PAW S1 for extended periods of time. The ibasso DC01 sounds neutral and works perfectly well if you're unfussy and is currently the cheapest of the three (although I'd suggest you check out their newer stuff too!) The Ikko is tuned to be a bit bright. It's good if you enjoy a bit of a sparkle in your music and lifts up darker earphones quite well. But might not be your thing if you're treble sensitive. The most expensive of these is the Lotoo PAW S1, but it also has a 3.5mm SE and 4.4mm balanced output, DSP filters and MQA support. It's also the most powerful of these. So if you're looking to personalise your listening I recommend an S1. But if you're not going to use all those fancy functions I'd suggest the Ikko Zerda. (which is a fair bit sturdier than the ibasso DC01, mine fell apart a bit under a year) Thank you for the art compliment! It warms my heart to know you're looking there too!
@@asheryeo1337 thank you so much for taking the time to do this! I know what I need to look for now. I can't wait to dive into the iem world :D Sorry to hear about your ibasso, that's always very annoying
Hey, what about balanced 2.5 mm cable for A4000, maybe answer for me is in the video, but I prefer to ask. Is this the balanced one, or maybe any 2 pin balanced will fit? Great video!
Cheers! Thanks for a very informative review. Have you heard the Sony IER Z1R and how does the A8000 compared to it? I own the Sony and am contemplating to add the A8000 to my collection.
Asher, how would you compare resolution and soundstage of the A8000 to a different animal like the HD800? I have the second and am looking for a way to decide to get the A8000. I bought a VR3000 to decide, and its soundstage is remarkable, actually.
It's not your ears, there is just a lot bad tuned In-Ear for a lot of money. I think this is because most Audiophile just love sharp and painful treble because it increases the illusion of having higher of higher details. A lot of In-Ear that do have significantly less details are regarded as detail monsters just because they have more volume in especially the upper mids. And for a lot of audiophile, this is worth the trade. Having something that is painful and unpleasant to listen to is worth the amount of increases virtual detail. But to my personal experience, this is mostly with Chinese Brands as their main focus is to be highly regarded in the group of people who want to spend a lot of money for In-Ear. It's not exclusively them but because there are so many of them, it gives this impression. I think this is because most big brands tune their In-Ear by ear and with the help of musicians while most Chinese companies tune their In-Ear using a computer and measurements because they know, their target group will rather buy the one that sounds worse, but produce the better graph. But there are a lot of very good and excellent TOTL and midrange In-Ear that do not have that, so it's not you, don't worry.
I always feel greatly disappointed when I watch an AUDIO equipment reviews made with substandard AUDIO quality. Every single time, it undermines reviewers' credibility in my eyes.
