Founded in 1974 by the late Kanemori Takai and re-established in 2007, Final Audio (operating as final Inc.) is a premier Japanese audio company headquartered in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture. Originally established as a subsidiary of American connector manufacturer Molex, the company gained independence in 2014 through a management buyout led by current CEO Mitsuru Hosoo. Under Hosoo's leadership, Final consolidated its high-end audio manufacturer final and the earphone/headphone division final audio design under the unified 'final' brand in 2007. With capital of 100 million yen, the company relocated from Shinagawa, Tokyo to Kawasaki to consolidate R&D, manufacturing, and distribution facilities with an integrated showroom for product trials. Since launching their own final brand earphones in 2009, the company has gained international recognition for their innovative approach to sound quality and design that differs from major electronics manufacturers. Final specializes in premium headphones and in-ear monitors ranging from the accessible E-Series (featuring compact 6.4mm dynamic drivers with prices from $24.99 to $279) to high-end planar magnetic headphones, all crafted with traditional Japanese precision and modern 3D printing technology.
