B3

The B3s have been designed taking into account the delicate relationship between spatiality and dynamic range, all while respecting the physical characteristics of the headphones.
The voices are reproduced in such a natural way that the breathing of the performers is perceptible, as are the most subtle nuances and the timbre of each musical instrument.
Through research into the relationship between the spatiality, clarity and dynamic range of music recordings and the physical characteristics of earphones and headphones, Final learned that the deepest enjoyment of music can only be achieved by optimizing the frequency response. This objective was achieved by optimizing a driver that best suits the sound of musical recordings.

The B3 model was designed with a focus on clarity. It is aimed at those who want the delicate sound of every musical instrument to be reproduced clearly even with live recordings. It features a standard silver-coated cable and employs an MMCX connector which allows the cables to be replaced in the event of a break.

Characteristics

The sound of these headphones has been achieved by taking into account the relationship between the spatial impression and the dynamic range of the music, creating an excellent sound.
The approach was that of spatial perception. Classical and jazz recordings are performed with great emphasis on aspects of spatiality, distance, width and reverberation. Rock, pop, and many recent soundtrack recordings don't really take this into consideration. We prefer to emphasize the clarity of the reproduction, which brings the various instruments and the voice to the fore.

Another approach is dynamic range, i.e. changes in loudness over time. If the dynamic range is large, you can use volume change over time to achieve a more dynamic expression of the music. But there are certain types of music for which recordings with more limited dynamics are preferable, to allow each of the instruments and the voice to appear better before the listener's eyes.

The difference between these two ways of thinking is not about which is better, but rather about how differently music is composed and what is required of the musician. As regards classical in general, and that played by the orchestra in particular, the spatial orientation of the instruments is particularly important. Arched ones are placed closest to the audience with the percussion behind them. If the balance between the spatial orientation and the volume of each group of instruments were to be incorrect, the music would lose its meaning. For this reason, it is not appropriate for every instrument to appear before the listener's eyes. For rock and pop, on the other hand, spatiality is not so necessary and therefore there is more emphasis on clarity than spatiality.
These prerequisites are very important, especially for listening with headphones and earphones, and it is increasingly evident that it is necessary in the design phase to set goals on which aspect to prefer, in order to use the best loudspeaker and the most suitable structure for achieve the project objective.

Let's look at the graph below, where spatiality and clarity of the music are represented on the X-axis and dynamic range on the Y-axis. While the E3000 model was designed with the aim of reaching the center of the graph, the B-series is positioned below outside that area.
In other words, compared to the E series, the B series was created for listening to a specific type of music, and you may be so fascinated by it that you cannot do without it. This characterization is typical of Final products.

Long lasting construction, with replaceable and serviceable cable

The front-to-rear two-piece separable construction makes the product easy to repair for unmatched longevity on the market.

The feeling of a custom fit

The feeling of superiority of a headset is determined by the presence or absence of a pressure sensation. There are products on the market with an ergonomically curved surface to fit the ear, but the ear cushions still exert pressure inside the ear canal, causing fatigue.
The goal should be for a great fit with little sense of pressure. In Final they thought the best thing was to put the headphones on 3 different points, like on a tripod.
The green part of the drawing below (auricle) is the first support, the blue one (tragus) the second, and finally the pink (pavilion cavity) the third, the largest. The tragus fixes the outer earpiece to the inner earpiece, making it difficult to feel stress even when force is applied, and the pink section holds the earpiece in place in the pinna cavity, so it does not slide the headset out. By clearly identifying the contact points, we've made sure that almost everyone can get a comfortable fit from our headphones.
If there is no sense of pressure, the fit of the headset will feel much more comfortable and this way, you get a fit that is very similar to that of a custom headset.

MIM (Metal Injection Molding) Stainless Steel Housing

MIM is a process by which powdered metal is mixed with a binder to form a moldable resin into the desired shape. There is a high degree of freedom between the mold and the casting shape, making it possible to achieve a complex design even with metal.

BA Balanced Armature Speakers x2

It employs two Balanced Armature (BA) drivers, one for high frequencies and one for mids and bass without using cross-over.
MMCX Connector and exclusive OFC silver coated high purity OFC cable
The MMCX connector was developed in Final using high purity OFC silver coated wires that provide a wide sound stage. These cables were developed by the Junkosha corporation for use with the "Kei" supercomputer due to their fast signal transmission speed. The insulating film is made of PFA, also developed by Junkosha*, which has used its extensive know-how through the JUNFLON® brand to create low-capacity insulating materials. The outer tube is made from PVC so it is surprisingly flexible which makes the cable extremely easy to use, as well as reducing the chances of microphonics. In addition, the MMCX connector and 3.5 mini-jack have undergone a 5,000 times bending test, up to perfecting its connection design with one that can withstand more than 50,000 bends.

* Junkosha is a Japanese company that develops and manufactures coaxial cables with the fastest propagation speed in the world, 95% of the speed of light, as well as cables for critical industries such as marine and aerospace, healthcare and energy production. These special cables require a high level of technology and are based on the use of fluoropolymers. Junkosha cables are also known under the brand name JUNFLON® and have earned the enormous trust of many engineers who need special cables.

Different colored earphones for left and right channel

For the sound cavity and for the outer earpiece that contacts the ear, two types of silicone are used which differ in stiffness. The inner one, used for the sound cavity, is stiffer than the other, and thanks to the application of a groove machining, it combines strength and flexibility. Soft silicone has been used for the outer earpiece, which ensures a comfortable fit and a high level of sound insulation.
One of the earpieces is grey, while the other is red; by pulling the earphone back slightly to check its color, it is easy to distinguish between left and right, even in places with dim lighting. Since the colors of earbuds of neighboring sizes are different (alternating between light and dark gray and between red and pink), it is also easy to distinguish the various sizes from each other.

Earhooks that decrease cable noise

The products so far offered on the market were large in size, with a rather looming appearance. At Final, after a lot of work on it, they came up with a smaller shape that doesn't use metal or resin and fits more people's ears easily. Slim hooks with a nice look, so you get such comfort that you forget you're wearing headphones. Cable noise – which occurs when the cable touches your body while walking – has been drastically reduced.

Silicone transport container

With this silicone sleeve, the cables can be rolled up and stored easily. The earphones themselves are delicately secured with thin dome-shaped silicone covers.

Aging

Aging is a phenomenon whereby the sound changes with continued use of the product. A driver unit produces sound through the vibration of a very thin thermoformed film. The cause is unclear, but it is thought that the membrane may become accustomed to the stress applied to it or its suspensions harden through continued use over time. But it takes a long time for the effects of aging on this product to become unnoticeable. in Final they have worked so that this effect is minimized by treating both the membrane and the suspensions. For this reason its products need 150-200 hours of use for the efficiency of the headphone to increase to reach the design level.
