Offered is „Sonorous II On-Ear-Kopfhörer“ by final as new device from the category „Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1106778302 ends on 26.12.2026 at 15:35 o'clock.
Notable for bringing Final’s high-end design ideas into a relatively accessible closed-back headphone, the Sonorous II is priced at €199, just below the €205 median and within a very tight used-market band. That makes it fair rather than a bargain: it sits below the €203 25th percentile, so the numbers point to a genuinely good buy, though not an extraordinary price advantage.
Its strengths are a detailed, lively presentation, clear harmonic texture, smooth mids, and especially good pairing with vocals, pop, jazz, and electronic music. The 50 mm dynamic drivers, 16-ohm impedance, and detachable cable make it easy to use from portable sources, while the substantial construction feels more serious than the entry-level label suggests. The main consideration is the 410 g weight and bright upper-mid/treble balance, so confirm comfort and included cable, but at €199 this is a worthwhile purchase.
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.
