Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread
Feb 25, 2023 at 8:24 PM Post #11,326 of 11,644
Hello everyone, final audio is presenting our latest flagship TWS, ZE8000 at Canjam New York this weekend.



ZE8000 is a pair of Truly Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds that has been delicately designed in both hardware and software in order to achieve the acoustic properties newly discovered by final. Completely different from the conventional sound design approaches, this brand new 8K SOUND technology exceeds the achievement of “Transparency” accomplished by the previous flagship D8000 and A8000, by delivering an unprecedented level of clarity, with the true identity of every bit of sound being revealed in full force, promising in a whole new level of music enjoyment.

We are also hosting a Lucky Draw campaign by our booth for these 2 days. For both 2 days, the first 150 people of the day who try out the ZE8000 will have a chance to win the following presents.

1. ZE8000 x1 - Retail USD349
2. ZE3000 x1 - Retail USD149
3. ZE2000 x1 - Retail USD139

Even if you do not get 1 of these, you will still get free 5 pairs of final Type-E Limited Edition Color (of your own choice) which is only available in our final STORE located in our headquarter.



Please head over and check it out! See you there!
I saw it landed in Europe this week…

The comparison between a $350 TWS and the D8000 or A8000 may seem like an exaggeration but from my experience with the ZE3000 it may not be so far-fetched. As it turns out going from the ZE3000 to the A4000 the other day felt like a slight downgrade, much to my surprise. The ZE3000 is more balanced, with a better timbre to the bass and at least the same level of detail.

As for the E3000, a fine basic iem in itself, in comparison it sounds dry and less refined, like it’s the Bluetooth iem whereas the ZE3000 sounds like it’s wired.

The ZE8000 after a week listening is a fantastic listen … more details next week when I post my review.

Hi all! Does the balanced cable sold by Fiio fit the Final E5000?
Hey! I can't confirm it will work with the E5000 because I have the B1... but the B1 works well with a cable I got from FiiO, so I believe that would be the same with the E series. I really like that FiiO's cable can be switched easily from balanced to single ended etc...

I Can't wait to read your review for the ZE8000 and how much of a step up it is from the ZE3000. If possible, I would appreciate to know if either one of them will hold tight enough while working out. Thanks.

Got my end-game IEM from Final Official Store in Kawasaki.
Guess what - a new Make 2!

Needless to say, it is a great place to visit. Not only are the Make series are sold here exclusively, they also offer tuning examples for them. I genuinely like one of the Make 2 tuning more than a more expensive A5000 (both sound signature and technicality)

The ZE3000 has a pretty secure fit, but the ZE8000 with its Q tips is much better. Even when exercising vigorously they remain secure.

I was going to release my review today, but I picked up a sinus infection and haven’t started my writing, but I will this weekend, so It should be up by Sunday if not tomorrow. ✌️

Thank you for the information. Good luck with your infection, let's hope the symptoms go easy on you.

I literally just finished watching your video then received a notification about this post. I enjoyed it, I like your relaxed style. I'll be buying a pair once they're available in UK.
Lmao that’s awesome!

For the price, it’s honestly insane.

I’ve blind tested a couple of Audiophile friends as well and these really impress.

Just quite a bit power hungry

Does the A5000 have any amount of Driver Flex when I setting into your Ear?
None that I could hear. I never had any driver flex from the A3k and A4k as well.
