And onto the noise-cancelling performance, which is respectable. At this price point it would be much to ask for the performance of the Sony WH-1000XM5, which are thrice the price of the UX3000. Nevertheless, the ANC performance is astute, good at clearing away persistent sounds. With noise cancelling on, it becomes much easier to hear music than with it off. These Headphones are simply stunning. The Shibo coating provides the UX3000 with a beautifully textured finish that acts as a finger print deterrent. The use of physical buttons over touch controls to play/pause, power on/off control the volume as well as turning the ANC on/off is reassuring and nicely implemented. The included 3.5mm audio cable that allows them to be used as a wired headphone without any battery is a marvel. They also fold up for easy storage and come with a soft carry pouch. Fit and Comfort: 9/10 Wind noise is noticeable with no music on but not very noticeable at all with music on which I found interesting.

Safe to say the UX3000 don’t indulge in such cheap nonsense. They’re about fidelity and realism – so while they may not sound the most 'exciting' on first acquaintance, they are far, far easier to live with in the long run. I like this feature as I could also use ANC when using the headphones with a wire. I have not tested with the wire as of this review as they are Bluetooth headphones.The noise cancelling function can also be used independently as an earmuff while music or other audio is not playing. So with ANC on you have a really fun, dynamic, engaging and full sounding headphone for on the go use. When you want a bit more clarity and detail you can turn ANC off and have a more linear yet fun and enjoyable sounding headphone. Active noise cancellation is superb, too - especially with this being Final's first entry into the space. By analyzing the sound samples collected from both microphones and generate a highly accurate anti-noise signal, UX3000 is capable of removing the ambient noise at high efficiency. As you’d expect, the audio quality doesn’t match that of the final. But let me tell you, it’s not far behind. The most obvious differences are in the quality of the bass and treble; bass notes aren’t as firm or decisive and the treble timbre isn’t as good as the UX3000. Apart from that, the W820NB sounds great, especially considering the price.

The only downside is you get no app to customise the EQ as you get with other brands. Lows/Mids/Highs By fully utilizing the know-how of final in dynamic driver design technology and thoroughly optimizing the acoustic characteristics of the driver unit (speaker), UX3000 delivers pleasing sound quality without the tiring sound characteristic typical for Bluetooth audio products. With its clear and accurate details together with rich and vast soundstage, UX3000 achieves advanced noise cancelling performance and exceptional sound quality. The Final Audio use Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless connectivity, with SBC, AAC, aptX and aptX Low Latency codec compatibility. So it’s reasonable to expect a robust connection and tight audio/video synchronisation.The frequency response is reasonably well balanced but definitely landing on the side of fun and engaging.

Final Audio UX3000 review: affordable wireless headphones for

These are also perfect for working from home with very accurate and faithful voice reproduction, it doesn’t sound like you are using the mic from the headphones, they are that good. Notable other Feautures: Considering final’s headphone pedigree, I had high expectations coming into this review. Not only were my expectation met, but they were also surpassed. The UX3000 is all about neutrality and fidelity – much like the final ZE3000 TWS earphones. The headphones can be folded into a compact form making them convenient to carry. A soft carrying pouch is enclosed to provide a gentle protection to prevent scratches during carriage. The UX3000 is designed with a few different factors that help shape its overall performance. The headphones are built with a single sensor microphone to interpret ambient environmental characteristics, with sensors on the inside and outside of each earcup. This all affects the efficiency of the headphone’s noise-canceling capabilities, where the UX3000 impresses. The UX3000 effortlessly uses its noise-canceling feature to reject major obstructions within most ranges of frequency. People talking right next to you can still be heard, but other ambient sounds are attenuated considerably. This works great for public transportation and areas that might have more intimidating ambiances like ventilation systems blowing. BluetoothPress and hold the Power Button for 5 seconds and the headphones will turn OFF with a "Power OFF" announcement. When the power is turned OFF, the Bluetooth/ANC Status Indicator lights up Red and fades off. Your experience of all these characteristics will be shaped by exactly how you listen to them. My description was largely based on listening with aptX Bluetooth from my iBasso DX160. In wired mode, with a competent portable DAC/Amp like the hip-dac2, everything is enhanced: the bass is punchier, the dynamics stronger, and the soundstage wider. On the other hand, I felt the AAC Bluetooth with my iPhone delivered everything just a touch more dull. AAC left the highs more veiled and the soundstage feeling a little more closed in. The Bottom Line Since beginning sales of our own final brand earphones in 2009, our way of thinking regarding good sound quality and designs that differ to those of other major electronics manufacturers has garnered attention, and we have built our own unique place both in Japan and abroad. I had many headphones and earphones before but these are my daily (really daily) drivers now for everything. They are fun, light, battery life is great (I get over 30hrs easily with 70% volume usually and ANC on). When it comes to features, there's not much to write home about, and the build quality isn't going to surprise you, either. We like the unique Shibo finish, but we can equally imagine it putting people off.
