final ZE3000 White

The only headphones I've found that don't require tons of eq to make them sound great. Which is good because they don't have an app to do that anyway. They sound is so clear and natural, they make everything else sound forced. Like most people I like my bass; the bass is not massively overdone, just precise and smooth and I love it

UPDATE: Someone from final reached out and I got a refund. Increased from 1 to 3 stars. First, let me say these earbuds produce amazing sounds - and I've tried 20+ pairs. That said, I had an issue within my warranty period where the left earbud would not hold charge. I contacted Final USA service and a gentleman named Michael responded and gave me an address to send my earbuds to in Florida. I sent them, confirmed they were received, and followed up MULTIPLE times. They have completely ghosted me. I even tried to contact them separately again from their website, presuming maybe Michael had left the company. No dice. So now they have my $200 earbuds and I have nothing. I didn't think I would be taking a risk with such a well-respected audiophile brand, but apparently their US presence and support is lacking. Going to try to contact FInal in Japan to see if I can get someone to help, or ask Amazon to issue refund. BE WARNED.

***8 Month Update to Original Review*** First thing you must do upon receiving the ZE3000: BREAK THEM IN. All you need to do is crank up volume to a very high level and blast music through it for a few hours. WARNING: please do NOT put them in your ears to ensure hearing conservation. Let them play in a drawer or closet or under a pillow, somewhere out of the way. The reason break-in is important is to remove the harsh treble and rather weak bass you get if played straight out of the box. I recommend doing this with most brand-new earbuds and headphones, not just the ZE3000. On some Android phones, you may see Bluetooth settings -> ZE3000 settings -> "HD audio: Qualcomm aptX audio". I recommend disabling this. This was an option in my old Motorola moto g(7). I've since gotten a new phone (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) which thankfully does not have this option, probably due to it running on different hardware. I've had seal issues on my left ear with the provided silicone ear pieces, due to a combination of the matte-like texture and my left ear canal's unusual shape. Without a good seal, the bass isn't as punchy, and a seal failure on just one ear is very unbalanced. It's since been solved by purchasing aftermarket SpinFit CP360 (I went with M/L sizes, but your ears are unique to you), and the seal is very secure and the left/right sound is very balanced. Z Reviews highly recommends these, and if you like looking futuristic while enjoying very high quality music, these are for you. Just note there's no noise canceling, which I personally have no need for. If you need them, I think Sony has really good ones but they're priced at over $200. 9.4/10. One star docked for requiring aftermarket silicone ear pieces.

I was truly shock at the sound quality…. If you really value sound quality over ANC (because they don’t have ANC) for the price final is asking is truly incredible ….. final just needs to add ldac … they are very light, very comfortable and worth much more then what final is asking….these are for the person that puts sound quality over all other “bells and whistles”, you find in other true wireless Bluetooth ear phones… I use them with my iPhone, sound better then my iPods pro and I use them with my astell and kern sp200t and astell and kern acro ca1000 and they sound great

UPDATE- After 13 months (one month past warranty) these are no longer usable. The left earbud does not pair and displays a constant mystery blinking blue light which is not described anywhere in the manual. They sounded great for a year but I' out of luck after spending 160$ The Vendor tried to be helpful, but you can't just email someone in Japan to ask about the problem. So I'm downgrading from 4 to 1 star. This is my first time ever trying earbuds. My Bang and Olufsen over ear headphones sound superb but were too hot for wearing on cardio equipment when you are sweating. I care about great sound quality as opposed to features like multi point connection and wireless charging. The Final Audio Ze3000's do live up to the hype for sound quality, with one caveat. That drawback is the silicone tips. They are not comfortable and average at best for sound isolation. I tried 3 of the sizes and had to really keep messing with position to get a good seal and bass response. I settled on the default large they come with, but it still slightly hurt . So I ordered comply foam tips and boom...better comfort and consistent sound! Also it's worth mentioning that like all audio equipment from cheap cables to amplifiers to speakers...there is a break in period to reach optimal sound. These went through the classic stages- thin and slightly harsh out of the box...after a couple days a little muddy and dull...and now after a week of use everything comes together with tonal balance, nice soundstage and accurate imaging for $150! I enjoy refining sound with the use of EQ (I use Audioforge) for headphones, car audio, and home stereo. For the first time ever I couldn't for the life of me improve the flat default sound they are manufactured with. The engineers at Final know what they are doing. They are 5 STAR IEM's but I'm downgrading to 4 because of the ear tips. We shouldn't have to pay extra for after market tips. UPDATE: After a month of use they seem to sound even better and with the foam tips have great sound isolation....I barely heard my coffee grinder right in front of me while listening.

Excellent audiophile sound in a straight forward and simple design that just works. Passive noise cancellation is good enough that there is no need for active cancellation on the set. Worth every Penny!

Firstly the ZE3000s were easy to set up and connect to my devices. They remained connected between uses - which can be an issue with some models. They came smartly packaged (as photographed) with a lead for USB and spare ear buds. The case for the headphones is high quality and very smart. So far the charge has lasted really well - although I tend to keep the power topped up on all my portable devices. The most important part is the ease of use and the sound plus comfort when listening. For all three categories these headphones perform really well. They are very comfortable and never feel loose - even on a run. The sound is fantastic - with very little or no bleed to people around you. I find the functions for pausing, skipping tracks and taking calls the easiest I have ever had with headphones in this style. So far so excellent. Fully recommended!

Final è un marchio giapponese che si è specializzato negli anni nelle migliori cuffie per ascolto a livello audiofilo, con in-ear con filo da centinaia di euro, fino ad arrivare a queste recenti TWS. In commercio solo le sennheiser Momentum 3 (da 300€) hanno una pulizia, soundstage e dei medi così dettagliati e di livello. Nonostante siano bilanciatissime i bassi sono belli corposi e veramente piacevoli, ultra dettagliati. Non c'è molto da dire, a questa cifra costano meno di metà di cuffie che suonano molto peggio, passando per i migliori brand, dagli airpods pro 2 finendo sulle sony, galaxy etc... Non hanno ANC, cancellazione del rumore attiva, non hanno grosse features, sono essenziali con un design splendido (se chiedete a me) ed un suono eccelso. Potrebbero venderle a 2-250€ senza problemi per la qualità, a questa cifra, se cercate la qualità del suono sono un must. I controlli touch sono molto precisi e semplici da usare. Eccelse, le ricomprerei fino alla nausea, spero di non romperle/perderle mai, ma se succedesse tornerei su queste, pensavo di avere un ottimo paio di cuffie (già tra le prime 10 per qualità del suono), ma queste sono su un altro livello, ti aprono letteralmente un mondo. NB: se avete problemi con il suono in base al vostro telefono (si leggano le recensioni estere sotto), provate a disattivare l'APTX su alcuni telefoni peggiorano terribilmente il suono per una comunicazione driver sbagliata, sul mio partono in APTX e suonano splendidamente, testato rimuovendolo il dettaglio del suono peggiora!

Ik heb deze draadloze oortjes gekocht met als doel de beste audio kwaliteit te hebben. Als je bent geïnteresseerd in noise cancelling, prachtige apps, of mooie reclame, koop dan iets anders. Als je bent geïnteresseerd in heldere en zuivere weergave van je muziek, dan ben je aan het juiste adres! De oortjes hebben een helder klankbeeld. De bas is diep en strak en er staat een enorm ruimtelijk geluidsbeeld, veel meer dan bij andere oortjes. Er worden tips meegeleverd van het eigen merk in verschillende maten. Deze zijn erg comfortabel. Ik zou met deze oortjes niet gaan sporten. Ze steken net iets te veel uit je oor om er comfortabel mee te bewegen. Maar voor in huis en tijdens het werk zijn ze prima. Ook als ik ga bellen wordt mijn stem over het algemeen goed weergegeven. De bouw kwaliteit is geweldig. Ze zien er mooi en chique uit met een aparte afwerking. Ook het doosje om ze in op te laden is van dezelfde kwaliteit.

Devo dire che mi hanno stupito: la qualita' del suono e' molto molto buona spazialita' e precisione nei dettaglie, l'annullamento del disturbo anche se passivo non e' male e l'autonomia e' in linea a quanto dichiarato. Brava FINAL AUDIO!

These little gems are fantastic. Beautiful build quality on both case and buds. Nice touch with the magnets when you drop them in the case, just sucks them into the right spot. Lovely detailed sound that doesn't distort, they can take some volume! I use these with wavelet on android and feed them the frequency response from $1000 IEMs, sound is sublime. The various tips ensure a perfect fit so these puppies do not budge, and the bass is always there.
