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!
@@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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Thank you for the kind comments Matz! I do miss the cheekiness of the previous videos though! :3 they'll be coming!

@@asheryeo1337 I was about to buy the VxV until I check the price hahaha but love the improvements you’re having in the channel
Really nice review, sad to see you don't seem to be making vids like this anymore.

Do they need dac or mobile is enough to drive

New alternative content. Loved it
Great review!! Which headphone/s do you think best approximate A8000? Thanks
Your voice is absolutely beautiful.
BTW have you tried the vr3000?
Thank you! Now I know which one I'm buying. Definitely A3000 cause just starting my journey as an audiophile. Overall this fits me well for now.
Love your reviews!
Good review,you explained the pros and cons of all three well.
good work. i think you might have missed a timestamp for "Sound: A4000" though. nice seeing a fellow singaporean doing audio review on yt
Very nice video, Asher! Keep it up!
Thank you for the encouragement lucas!
great video.
you are a pretty good audio reviewer.
Great video. I completely agree with everything you said about the a4000
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?
I'd consider my concha on the smaller side and they work great for me! Still do try to spend some time with them before you decide!
Excelent review, I barely appear in comments but in this case it was necessary to make the point.
Hey asher, do you have a suggestion for a portable dac amp for iems
Or whatever desktop gear you use
Also love your art!

Sorry to hear about your ibasso, that's always very annoying
Does this also have volume and pause/play buttons easily on the cable?

Great review! Keep it up 👍🏼
looking for new earphones which one should I buy e4000 or a4000?
Well done. You should do more reviews if you have the time.
Excellent review, i just subbed. Any chance you can get their VR3000 to compare with ? The A4000 seems more up my alley so far.
Thank you for the sub and the kind words friend! Ooh yes I might be able to do that :)
@@asheryeo1337 Cool, thank you for considering it. :)
You are a competent audio expert👍
I like your channel😍😍
"take it withawhole bottle of salt"😂
How would the A4000's perform while gaming? I am looking to replace my DT 990 Pro's with an IEM that matches the sound stage.
Lovely review 😂👍
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?
Very helpful. Could you do a review on the b2 and the make series please. Thank you.
I can get my hands on the B-Series, but the make is a little bit trickier! Either way I'll be storing this idea away for future use!
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.
Or you could try to get Onkyo E700M, which will outclass this, and costs 50 bucks these days.
Nice video Asher ) Kien
Hello Kien! Missing you and HCM! Thank you for dropping by!
Hello, are you still using this channel or you moved completely to P/P TV?
Hello Raul! Yes I am! Only that I've just recovered from a cataract surgery and I'll probably need a bit more time to put something up!
@@asheryeo1337 Oooh, ok. Take your time then. Best wishes and cheers!
Any idea how the A4000 compares to the Moondrop Starfield?
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.
If you have the money for it, buy it.
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.
Hope you can compare the Sony N3ap with the A4000
