Overview
- Final’s Tonalite campaign went live on November 11 at $329, with shipping slated to begin December 2 and general retail planned for mid-December.
- The setup uses a headband with markers, a smartphone multi-angle head and ear scan, and in-ear frequency sweeps, after which a personalized profile is downloaded to the earbuds.
- Final’s DTAS system processes the measurements on its cloud servers to create a Digital Twin that targets timbre reproduction tailored to the wearer’s anatomy.
- Early hands-on listening reports describe a clearer, more natural presentation with improved instrument separation, alongside setup hiccups and tonal trade-offs such as lighter bass and brighter highs.
- Hardware features include Dual Listening Mode, Hybrid ANC, Ambient mode, Bluetooth 6 with SBC/AAC/LDAC support, and battery life rated at up to 8 hours per charge or 24 hours with the case.
