These Deliver Everything Except Audiophile Quality

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2022

Just received and I've experimented for several hours today. I own a British reference stereo system that cost more than a fancy car. These headphones are a notch or two below the reference system but awesome performers and value for the price of $150. High fidelity sound, including soundspace, and functionality. I will urge friends and family looking around the <$1k mark to purchase these.

Aspects in need of improvement:
- the box promises a downloadable app which enables product warranty registration but it's late in 2022 and there still is no app available;
- product contact page online does not recognize this product among the product line, so you cannot register the product; and
- very short USB C cable for charging battery, you either lay the headphones on the floor next to your power strip or else you charge only on a desk top through another device, in my case, given the short length of the cable.

Overall these headphones are excellent performers and great value. Buy them unless you want to spend a fortune, especially if you want an affordable pair you can risk during travel, the office, gym and other somewhat risky places. Unless you are a self-involved audiophile, the quality is truly excellent as is the value. Would buy again.

Just buy them. Don’t even question it any further. The sound quality is amazing and extremely balanced. The bass is powerful without being overpowering, the mids and highs also stand out on their own. You can definitely hear every part of any song with these headphones no matter which genre you listen to.

Nice no-frills headphones with aptX low latency

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2022

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Happy with these after a few days of use. Very likable no-frills experience with no app.

First impression of sound quality is good. Will update this review later, but I haven't noticed any big differences between my more expensive wired setup (update: I would say SQ is fine, but lacks in clarity. I am still happy to use them as part of a wireless setup on my PC). Noise cancelling is ok and gives a more V-shaped sound.

They are light on the head and conveniently fold up. Ear cups are a little small for my big ears.

aptX low latency support works well; I get a delay of 20-30ms. For comparison, I get ~170ms using aptX, and ~200ms using SBC. Tested with the Creative BT-W3.

They can be used while being charged, which is nice. Noise cancelling operates separately, so you can turn on and use NC without powering on the headphones, which is kinda cool, though you need to turn them both off separately when you're done (my suggestion for Final is to also turn NC off when powering down the headphones).

The voice confirmations were recorded by a woman with a Japanese accent, which I find quite charming.

Hi-Fi tuned, detailed, spatial

Tired of thumpy v-shaped headphones? Me too. Used app EQ with 3-bands and still getting sucky results? Not impressed with the "top rated" picks from tech review sites? These are for you.

If you're familiar with other headphones I'd say these are like AKG k553 Pro with the addition of perfect low-end. Punchy like Beyerdynamic DT1990, minus the sibilance.

Less expensive materials, but better sound than Bowers and Wilkins PX7 s2, especially in detail retrieval, imagining, separation, and tuning.

Final put serious thought into the dac, driver, and DSP pairing. I don't understand how these seemingly plastic headphones are dampened so we'll.

Only draw back is less fun tech stuff like cap touch controls, smart standby mode, etc. In the Sennheiser Momentum 4. But for me sound quality is #1.

Bought a second pair for the wife!

Beyond All Expectation!

Rarely do I take the time to write a product review. The "final UX3000" over the ear bluetooth headphones are a rare exception. For $150. JUST GO BUY THEM. No discussion is necessary at this price. Before yesterday I never heard of the Japanese company "final" They are known for their audiophile line of earbuds. This is theiir first bluetooth headphone model. Simple design, simple tactile controls, good battery life, and outstanding $300. sound quality. I just ordered a pair for my wife too.

Great audio and excellent ANC

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2022

Color: BlackVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

The Final UX3000 headphones offer a series of features, including quality sound, hybrid noice cancellation, wired and wireless (bluetooth) connectivity and ergonomics. Here is what I think about this product.

--- Audio:
Since this is primarily an audio product, let's talk about the sound quality. I find the audio quality of this headset quite good. Highs are clear and loud enough to be able to hear their range. Mids are very balanced, neither too loud nor muffled. Lows are colorful and the bass level is more than satisfactory. It's very satisfying to be able to hear the bass line on a heavy song. One thing I like about the sound is that lows don't saturate the overall output. The sound range is quite impressive, you might hear parts of your music that you haven't hear before due to subpar audio equipment. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the volume level when pairing with the iPhone, but that's probably partially iPhone's fault.

--- Connectivity:
I didn't really try the audio cable at all. I went straight with the bluetooth connection. Pairing with my iPhone or my Mac was very easy. Sound volume with the iPhone was ok but with the Mac is much louder, which is awesome. No choppy sound or disconnections so far.

--- Hybrid Noise Cancellation:
Very good performance with noise cancellation. The UX3000 is equipped with two mics, one on the external side of each ear cup. They pick up the external noise and block most of it by creating the opposite audio wave (not a scientific explanation). The result is quite impressive, since the headset manages to block most of the ambient noise. I specifically use this feature on my headsets when I fly, since the cabin noise during the flight annoys me. This headset will definitely perform very well under those conditions and I'm very excited to try it in action. I've already tested the noise cancellation capabilities with audio clips of plane cabin noise, and I'm impressed. One thing note is that enabling ANC will NOT block the music you're listening to. Neat.

--- Controls:
Several physical buttons allow you to control aspects of this headset. You have a power on/off button, volume up and down and an ANC button to enable/disable active noise cancellation.

--- Ergonomics:
Generally speaking, the headset is quite comfortable. It doesn't pressure your head too much and you don't feel more discomfort than what you'd expect. The headset is pretty lightweight, since it's mostly made of plastic. The ear cups feel nice, even though they're on the small side. If you have big ears you might find the ear pads too small. The housing rotates both horizontally and vertical, adjusting to the shape of your head. This headset can be folded for easier transportation.

--- Looks:
This is not a pretty headset. The manufacturer has chosen function over looks, clearly. The headset is made of plastic, mostly, with a finish similar to DSLR cameras that help with dirt resistance. Not too pretty to look at, but effective. The ear cups and head support are wrapped with leather, synthetic obviously.

One thing I haven't tested extensively yet is battery life. I've been using them for a couple of hours at the time of this review, which isn't nearly close to the manufacturer's claims of 35 hours of music playback.

Overall this is a great headset with very good audio quality and great ANC performance. I do find the price a bit steep, currently at $160, but quality products with this kind of performance don't cost much less than that. I would have also preferred better design and looks, since this is a $160 headset that looks like a $50 one. 4 stars.

Great sound and loving the design!

The Final UX3000 headphones sound great. I paired them with my Google Pixel 7 Pro and my windows laptop, and in both the sound is excelent. For some the fact that the ANC has to be turned off even if you turn off the device may be a problem, but you get used to it. Not a problem for me. And the sound... it sounds great. That is the biggest selling point for this headphones.

Meh

These headphones only sound decent when ANC is engaged. When it isn't, they sound like I have a sock stuffed in each ear cup.

And the built-in voice prompts sound stupid because of the heavy Japanese accent of the female speaker.
