Final has launched the over-ear DX3000CL, an extension of the DX series and the first closed-back model in this product line. The DX3000CL sits below the open-back flagship DX6000, but shares more or less the same dynamic driver philosophy as Final. The cable is detachable.
Final DX3000CL: Paper and carbon composite driver
The DX3000CL’s drivers feature a 40-millimeter diaphragm made of a paper-carbon composite. Furthermore, the driver features what Final calls a “free-edge surround structure.” This construction aims to reduce unwanted resonance while simultaneously enabling controlled diaphragm movement. The driver was developed entirely in-house at Final’s Japanese facility.
According to Final, the DX3000CL delivers a smooth, natural tonal balance, with clear midrange, open highs and rich, tightly controlled bass that capture the warmth and realism listeners associate with the brand.
Final DX3000CL: Closed isolation with open tuning
Unlike the open earcups of the DX6000, the closed earcups of the DX3000CL offer some passive isolation from ambient noise, and bystanders will not immediately hear what music the DX3000CL wearer is playing. According to the final claims, the acoustic chambers have been tuned to maintain an open presentation despite the closed design. The lightweight housing utilizes padded ear cushions and a balanced headband system, designed for extended listening sessions.
Final positions the DX3000CL as a more accessible entry into the DX series sound. Its paper and carbon composite diaphragm differs from the magnesium alloy diaphragm of the DX6000, representing a distinctive approach to driver design within the same product family.
The specified impedance is 37 ohms (at 1 kHz) and the sensitivity is 96 dB/mW. The ear cushions are replaceable.
The Final DX3000CL will be available soon and has a suggested retail price of just under $600.
