Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed the review! To read this review and others, check out our blog at majorhifi.com. :) See you next week!
I was curious about these and the FH5. I would only use the pair that I would settle on for use at the gym with a Fiio x1 gen 1. I could go for the fun sound of the FH5 I am sure, but it seems like they would fatigue more. A handicap of the E5000 seems to be they may not deliver as well on more structured rhythmic music. Which do you think has the bigger disadvantage...the fatigue of the FH5's frequency curve or the less fun experience of the E5000. I get this is application relevant and very subjective, but I was curious on your personal understanding of these things and which is more easily forgiven. Which would you bring to the gym more often?
Enjoyed your review, thanks!. I was very surprised at how well the the e3000 sounded when I first bought them so had no hesitation in getting the e5000 when it arrived. There is that extra brightness at the higher end than the e3000, I would almost say a sharper and crisper edge. I have a feeling the value largely comes from the cable that it comes with. I have a UE900 and it sounds wonderful with the cable too. I think the e5000 is a fantastic deal for the price.
Thanks so much for sharing, Wai!
MajorHiFi Headphone, HIFI & Amplifier Reviews, it's great how you covered a wide range of music during your review. It's quite a jack of all trades, easy listening buds. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, Wai! Yeah right?! Very impressed that it can handle so many difference genres. Thanks for the support :) I appreciate it a lot!
Wai Siew I am looking to buy new iems and I've narrowed the choice down to these FAs and the UE 900s. Do you like one better than the other?
Joshua Glaser I actually have the UE900. I like it very much for the mids and high end, but I find the lower end lacking a bit in bass and warmth with quite a few of my music tracks. I think the UE900s was released with a different lower end tuning?
Recently I have been switching back to the dynamic drivers rather than balance armature IEs. I find that the lower frequencies are warmer and have an enjoyable punchy feel to it.
I think FA's higher frequencies are not as bright as UE, but still well detailed. It's non-fatiguing and easier listening for me. I can stick a pair of FA into my ears and be quite happy to listen to it all day.
I hope you'll get a chance to try both UE and FA before you decide. Recommend sampling something with percussion, hi hat cymbals and racier music (thinking something like Genesis)
Hiya Steph! Great video! I like the interesting cable on those earphones, I have never seen anything like them before. It's so amazing that they can make small drivers like that give off such rich, smooth and warm sound. Just by your description alone says so much about how you listen to audio gear.
Right?! I was surprised too. The technology, especially by Final Audio, is incredible these days. Thanks for commenting and watching, Jeff :)
are they really hard to drive ? so i cant use'em with a phone ?
Steph, you seem like an authentic and very genuine person. I loved the review of these earphones and your descriptions across the different ranges of sound, it gave me a very clear idea of how these sound without having to listen to them! Much appreciated - you have another subscriber!
Great review, I like the part where you mention the songs and your thoughts with each of them.
Right on, Manuel! Thanks for your feedback :) I'm glad you liked it. I'll keep mentioning that type of stuff.
Hi Steph. First of all, I love your reviews! Learnt a lot from you.
I am interested in this E5000, while I currently do not own a proper dap. Just using Fiio BTR3 and my iPhone. I am wondering if my setup is sufficient to drive this final E5000.
Thanks in advance. Looking forward to your response.
Heya Sheu! Thanks so much! I'm so happy they're helpful! But yeah! Your BTR3 should do a good job driving these! Keep us updated with how you like them if you decide to get them :D
I own the e3000 and I love them they are the best in ears I heard yet I’m fairly new I never owned high end headphones is they worth the upgrade and what ways make them better in terms of sound
Should I go for the cheaper e4000 as well
Heya HeGreat! It depends on what you want from upgrading earphones. The E5000 will have a more similar signature to the E3000, but executed better...it has a more even frequencies and is super smooth and beautiful. The E4000 has a bit of a different vibe... more realistic than warm and smooth. So if you want something that has a different sort of character than your E3000, I think the E4000 is a great choice. But if you want an earphone that is more similar to your E3000 but an upgrade of it, then the E5000 is a better choice. Either way, both are super freaking awesome! You won't be disappointed.
This E5000 sounds good and details is also very commendable. But compared to the soundstage and bass of IE80s, this E500 loose. Also the E5000 sounds small, or maybe just my ears are used to ie80s' wide sound.
The E5000 manual talks about having to clean the cable of human skin oils after every use. Seems rather impractical and inconvenient to me. Do you have any input about that Steph?
I hear you, Richie! Does seem like a lot to me. I personally clean the cables of my headphones about every week or two (I do so because I live in NYC and they get super grimy). But of course, I think it will be like any other electronics product ya know...? Some people are super meticulous about cleaning their phone for example. Will that person's phone last longer? Probably! But someone who cleans their phone less often will probably still have their phone for a solid chunk of time. I'd say, use your best judgement with it and clean it as its comfy for ya.
Thanks for the reply. I also spoke with a guy at Audio46 who didn't consider it to be a big deal. These sound so good - better to me in fact than the FH5. I just didn't like the idea of having to baby them.
@@bklynrickel I think you posted this on Head-fi? I literally just bought these yesterday. When I read your comment, I let out a groan because I didn't sign up for cleaning the cable every day! Glad to hear that every day isn't necessary. Cheers!
I contacted Final "Support" and they responded to me in Japanese. So I didn't get an official answer from them. Love the E5000s, but there is no support - at least in English.
Awesome review ! I just subscribed your channel !!!
Oh sweet! Thanks, Taki! I appreciate the support!!
HOW DO YOU COMPARE THIS WITH THE PERIODIC AUDIO BE OR GRADO GR10E, AND DO YOU THINK THESE EARPHONES CAN RUN WELL WITH LG V30? OR IT'S NECESSARY A DAC, I'M THINKING ABOUT HIDIZS AP80... THANKS.
What DAC would you recommend? my phone does not drive it well enough. I need a Spotify/Andoid DAC. Thanks in advance.
Hey Steph! I just bought the e5000's at Audio46 yesterday (Gabby and Tony are the best) and am so glad I did! They are ridiculously smooth and rich. I'm driving them from a hi-res Bluetooth amp/DAC and I'm getting great volume and delicious sound I couldn't get from my phone. Next thing I'm going to do is get a 2.5mm balanced cable (probably the Alo Audio Litz) to get even clearer sound! Thanks so much for this video!
Heya Joshua! Yay! I'm so glad you like them. And oh boy.. That's gunna be awesome! I love love love the ALO cables and I know that combo is gunna treat you right!! ~thanks for sharing~
@@MajorHiFi Thanks! Hey great seeing you today. Here's that band I mentioned: ua-cam.com/video/vACZA9dGvV4/v-deo.html
Cheers! ✌️
You too, Josh! Thanks for sharing!!
which bluetooth amp/dac are you using with the e5000? I'm having a hard time finding one besides the fiio q5(which is a bit out of my budget) that can adequately power the e5000 or e4000. If you guys have any recommendations for bluetooth dac/amps or mmcx cables at a lower price point(prefer below $100 but anything is fine) let me know!
Hi, I have the e3k currently. I dont know if its worth upgrading to e5k. And if you have a chance can u compare it to fiio FH5?
Hey CloudSound! I really dig the 5000 -- has a similar thing to the 3000 but really takes it to the next level detail, soundstage, and overall fullness-wise. But yes! I am dying to try the FH5 and will surely do a comparison review when I can get my hands on them.
MajorHiFi Headphone, HIFI & Amplifier Reviews thank you very much becauze theyre on the same price bracket.
yes! my pleasure!
Hi CloudSound! Here is the comparison review between the FiiO FH5 and the Final Audio E5000: majorhifi.com/fiio-fh5-vs-final-audio-e5000-comparison-review/
Please can you tell me about fit and comfort and isolation...when wire them you hear some internal sounds of your body and you can hear ok yourself when talking...i search more open filing iem less isolation becouse i don t like sound pressure and would like some breath for my ers?
Does the silicone case attract lint?
which dap you use with these headphones? i have this I have kept them for a day, I like them more than the fiio fh5. Bat is whery hard tu drive. From fiio m9 i stay 90 tu 100 on volume
Great job, keep it up!
Hello, congratulations for these reviews, my question: how do you compared the final audio e5000 with the e7200?
i got them but i still didn't enjoy them since my OnePlus 5 runs them poorly. Which android dap would you recommend for them? I heard they are difficult to drive and i was thinking about the fiio m6
Do the e5000 sound better than the ie80s ?
I'd like to know as well.
do you have a preference as for 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 ? Thanks!
I'm torn between the 4000 and 5000. They're both really good. The 5000 is more pleasurable to listen to but the 4000 has a sense of realism that I really love.
Any chance you would compare 2000 to 4000 ?
Sure thing, Chia! Here you go: majorhifi.com/final-audio-e4000-vs-final-audio-e2000-comparison-review/
Would you say it’s worth the additional $129 compared to the e4000?
I would say it is worth it if you want a more musical sound to your earphones. If you just want a straight replication of the mix, the e4000 will certainly do the job. But if you want something with a little more character and musicality, definitely go for the e5000!
I wonder what music do you listen to
I try to listen to a super wide range of genres, especially for my reviews. I know so many folks appreciate different kinds of music, and I do too! If you like any artists or bands in particular, let me know and I can give them a listen when I'm doing reviews! Thanks for the support, Florence :)
What’s the name of the songs I new on your channel and I’m learning inglés
How do they match with the Dragonfly Red?
Digi De thanks man, I was just worried it might run out of volume control adjustability, since the DF red has huge steps in volume, and the E5000 is not really easy to drive based on specs..
Love the relaxing vibe you guys exude! Great review as usual :)
Thank you, Nico!! Please feel free to reach out with any questions about a particular product or something. If I can get my hands on something, I will try to review it! :)
Cool, dude!
are you that kid from terminator 2? john connor?
no go buy e3000 or mele for joy
Out of the box it cannot sound good. You got to drive it in. At least a couple of hours. And you need an amplifier for it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! That's why I do a first impressions test and another test later. The model I had used was a demo model, so it had already been "burned in" for lack of better words. Tried it with a few different methods of amplification and conversion, so I def recommend folks watch and listen through the end of the video to make up their minds about it.
can you compare these to the 1more quad in ear earbuds
Not being rude but is Steph a girl or guy?
I'm not sue this is a dude
