Final has begun accepting pre-orders for the ZE3000 SV earbuds, featuring Comfort active noise cancellation, support for Hi-Res music, and low-latency Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint connections.
Advanced Noise Cancellation
The technology for active noise cancellation (ANC) incorporates microphones to detect sounds from the outside and then produces an opposite sound wave to negate it before it hits the eardrums. Less advanced ANC headphones often create a strange pressure feeling in the ears. The ZE3000 SV employs Comfort ANC, which lessens this discomfort while effectively dampening outside noise and wind sounds. Additionally, the design of the earbuds ensures a secure fit in the ear, minimizing the pressure they exert.
Hi-Res Audio and Gaming Features
These Final earbuds are capable of Hi-Res music playback via Bluetooth, utilizing the LDAC audio codec that supports 96kHz 24-bit audio transfer. The ZE3000 SV enhances music playback thanks to its larger 10mm F-Core SV drivers, which are paired with f-LINK acoustic ports for clean reproduction of low-frequency bass and clear vocal sounds. Furthermore, a special gaming mode decreases latency to below 60ms.
Battery Life and Availability
With ANC activated, these splash-proof earbuds offer a battery life of seven hours, and the charging case extends this by an additional 28 hours. Full recharging takes about 1.5 hours.
The Final ZE3000 SV earbuds are priced at 12,800 yen (~$85). Pre-orders are currently available on the Final Japan website, with shipping set to begin on December 12, 2024. They are also anticipated to be found at the Final store on Amazon US soon after.
