Selling a set of Final Audio Sonorous 111 Headphones in excellent condition. An alternate set of earpads is included to modify the performance to suit you. All original packaging and Owners Manual is included. Shipping to the Buyer is an extra $15 using Australia Post.
This is a strong deal at A$240 AUD: it sits just above the A$232 AUD 25th percentile and well below the A$399 AUD median across 18 comparable listings. For a known Sonorous 111, that is an attractive entry price rather than an ambitious ask, assuming it is fully functional and the listing’s model identification is correct.
The Sonorous line is well regarded for substantial construction, a clear, detailed presentation, and convincing vocal and instrument reproduction. These are full-size audiophile headphones with a distinctive, somewhat studio-minded character, and they can make a rewarding closed-back home-listening option. At this price, check that both channels work, the headband and swivel hardware are sound, the pads are not badly flattened or cracked, and the cable and any original fittings are included; replacement Sonorous pads can materially affect both comfort and tuning.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Final Audio traces its roots to 1974, when Japanese audio pioneer Kanemori Takai founded the company in Japan as a high-end specialist in components like phono cartridges, amplifiers, speakers, and turntables. Initially known as Final Audio Research, it earned acclaim for groundbreaking designs, including reel-to-reel tape recorders and ultra-exclusive speakers with beryllium drivers. In 2007, Takai partnered with Molex to form S'Next Co., Ltd., launching the modern Final brand in 2009 with its first earphones; full independence came in 2014 via management buyout, merging the heritage firm and shifting focus under new leadership after Takai's passing.
Today, Final excels in portable personal audio, renowned for high-end earphones, in-ear monitors, and headphones that blend dynamic, hybrid, and armature drivers. Categories like true wireless models under the AG sub-brand, over-ear headphones since 2013, and precision cables round out the lineup, all leveraging Japanese engineering, 3D printing, and f-Series tuning for accuracy and finesse. They handle full development, from components to manufacturing, often in their Philippine facility.
Positioned as a niche boutique leader in the high-end market, Final commands loyalty among audiophiles for minimalist aesthetics, emotional sound reproduction, and class-leading detail across price points. Strong in Japan, it has expanded globally—especially Europe via upscale shops—winning awards for innovation while entering mainstream wireless segments without compromising heritage precision.
