These new items have also adopted Bluetooth, and since our website has had success with both the ZE3000 and the UX3000, we are looking at the Final ZE8000 with anticipation since we believe it will continue the run. The Final ZE8000 deviates from the pattern in the sense that it moves up several price brackets in order to compete with companies such as Sony and Bose.
It also includes noise cancellation and a few innovative twists in its software in order to provide an experience that is comparable to that of an audiophile. Is Final’s flagship ZE8000 the culmination of its efforts in the domain of wireless technology.

Final ZE8000: Design
The Final ZE8000 is similar to the Ultimate Ears Fits in that it has one long stem with a “dedicated ear-fitting division” that fits into the ear. I think it’s supposed to be practical, but the part that sticks out looks big and doesn’t work as well as it should.
I’ve had trouble finding something that fits my ear. Final sells ear tips in sizes ranging from extra-small to extra-large, which should cover all ear sizes. However, the medium and small sizes were painful to wear because the hard surface around the ear tips made a point of contact that hurt after 20 minutes.

Style and Comfort
The ZE8000 earphones’ unique design sets them apart from the competition the moment you open the packaging. The ear stem of these headphones is unlike any we’ve seen before: a lengthy baton that protrudes above the top of the real earpiece and bears Final’s triple-hexagon logo at its base. Even the standard earbud, which is attached, seems like it has two chambers thanks to the initial projection and the silicon covering of the ear tip.
When I first read a press release featuring the Final ZE8000, we were taken aback by their peculiar appearance and concerned about how they would fit and look. However, seeing it in person is a very different story. Final’s Shibo texture finish, utilized on the ZE8000, creates the impression of wrinkled leather or paper.
Final ZE8000: Audio Quality
The retail price of the Final Audio ZE8000 in the United Kingdom is currently set at roughly £289 for the complete package. The approximate price in the United States is $349, whereas in Australia it is around AU$499.
You don’t need me to tell you that this is top-shelf, premium cash for a set of genuine wireless earbuds; some of T3.com’s top picks are far cheaper. If Final Audio expects to justify that price, it better have something spectacular up its sleeve for all of us.
Final ZE8000: Performance
Fitting the earphones of the Final Audio ZE8000 might have an effect on the quality of the sound they produce. The ZE8000, on the other hand, are more dependent on the manner in which they are installed than any other model. It’s a good thing the earphones come with five different sets of eartips so you can find the perfect fit.
There is a lot to like about the ZE8000’s sound once they are set up. They’re fun and convincingly naturalistic across their entire frequency range, from the highs (which are bright, substantial, and carry a lot of detail) to the lows (which are bright, substantial, and varied in texture and timbre).
Final ZE8000: Battery Life
One area where the ZE8000 falls short is in its battery life. The earbuds’ battery life of 5 hours is already short, and when you include in ANC and the 8K Sound processing (on which more below), it decreases much further. Although there is a backup battery of 15 hours in the ZE8000’s casing, we were hoping for more given the size of the device’s housing. On a five-minute charge, you can get up to 45 minutes of playtime, which is fine but not what you’d expect from a high-end device.
Final Words
The lifelike sound, vast detail reproduction, and midrange fidelity of the Final Audio ZE8000 are very convincing arguments in favor of the headphones, and the headphones make a very solid case for themselves overall. However, they have too many drawbacks and are lacking in too many different areas to even come close to being recommended as one of the best pairs of genuine wireless headphones.

FAQS
Final’s first effort at a high-end truly wireless earphone is the ZE8000, which costs $349, £299, or €329.
If you don’t use your earbuds too long or too loudly, you can’t lose your hearing because of noise. The 60%/60-minute rule is what doctors say to do: No more than 60% of the highest volume should be used to listen to music, watch a movie, or play a video game.
