Final Audio — styled simply "final" today, and FINAL Co., Ltd. on paper — is a Japanese earphone and headphone maker headquartered in Kawasaki, Kanagawa. Established in November 2007 as the subsidiary of a US parent, it became independent through a management buyout at the end of 2014 and now runs its own Kawasaki factory, developing its drivers and assembling its high-end models in house. Its range runs from the sub-$30 E-series bullets to planar-magnetic flagships, and its Type-E ear tips are widely bought on their own.
