No idea about return shipping. I don't plan on ever returning them. They're great!
I would say that what made my L3Ps sound good is running both a custom EQ in the app as well as using Wavelet. Like it's probably overly complicated for most and obviously impossible if you use an iPhone, but totally, totally worth it in my opinion to make it sound the way I want it to.OK, maybe solved the charging issue on the L3P.
Using these on my walk and train ride and I am starting to warm up to these. The EQ is really good. They were a bit sibilant after my ID test which cranked up the treble regions due to hearing loss. Have not found a custom setting I like quite yet but will keep fiddling around.
I can see them maybe being to hot for younger ears or certain genres. But so far these are growing on me for Jazz and classic rock. Cymbals have a bit of brashness or metallic edge to them but are very vivid. This can be good or bad depending on if you like it or not or you find it distracting.
At $120 they are great bargain.
ANC is slightly behind the GB2P and Sony Linkbuds S but the wind reducer works pretty good and they are decent once music is playing. Note I have been unable to run the ANC detect thing as my environments are either to loud or to quiet for it to run. Will see if the ANC is any different when I can finally run that setting.
I don't think you've had the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 for a year unless you somehow work for Samsung (they came out like a couple of weeks ago?)Just tested the Galaxy Buds 2 ( not pro) and Final Ze3000. Had the Z7 last weekend here and I've been using the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 for a year.
The Z7 can't compete with all these buds at all. Bloated, muddy bass which drown the mids and let vocals appear super distand and quiet. The treble is also very very soft, you almost don't hear cymbal sounds. As I've heard great stuff about the Tevi (renamed to Z3), I am very disappointed.
I had the Prophile 8 Inear for quite a while and loved the UERM, Blessing 2 impressed me a lot too.. just for reference what I like.
Fit
Buds 2 >= Final Ze3000 > Buds pro. The latters gets quite umconfortable, even though there is no pressure build up with these. Buds 2 fits like a glove for me, Final ZE3000 is also very comfortable.
Soundstage size Final ZE3000 > Buds Pro > Buds 2. Final ZE3000 is by far the widest sounding, imagine is on par with Buds Pro 2. Buds 2 loses in both and can sound congested with busy tracks.
ZE3000 has a warm and safe tuning, it is really relaxing with nothing really standing out. It has more midbass than subbass, missing the rumble from the Samsungs. I kind of miss that, but a good clean midbass like the ZE3000 is very fun too.
I love the engaging tuning of the Buds 2, it sounds forward with a very pleasing tuning if it wasn't for the treble. I can get sibiliant.. which is a shame, I really like them otherwise. Going to do some tip rolling and if it doesn't get better I am going to send them back..., for now the ZE3000 impresses me the most. I am probably going to get my hands
on the Buds Pro 2 for the final battle. =)

They really are too goddamn expensive to get here in the EU, it adds up to about $400 and that's without shipping even, it's way too high of a price for me to dare "take a chance" on them being as good as everybody says (and also, just being good doesn't equate to me liking them since sound is also a matter of personal preference), especially when they're also lacking a bit in features outside of the sound.Hi there,
@MisterMonsieur, it's funny, I just got the Final ZE3000 after reading a lot of reviews. I hope I will not be disappointed with their bass response (I love some extra oomph in my IEMs). It's my first set of TWS. I love wired but I thought I'd give these a try since I got them on the cheap.
I also wanted to try the Noble Audio FoKus Pro but they're nowherere to be found in Europe (minus the UK and Switzerland). They're already expensive so I don't wanna risk adding customs' fees on top.
Oh I absolutely agree. They end up being more than $400 actually, it's way too expensive for TWS IMO.They really are too goddamn expensive to get here in the EU, it adds up to about $400 and that's without shipping even, it's way too high of a price for me to dare "take a chance" on them being as good as everybody says (and also, just being good doesn't equate to me liking them since sound is also a matter of personal preference), especially when they're also lacking a bit in features outside of the sound.
I wish I could try them first and then I MIGHT pay that kind of money for them.
Odd as it has been the opposite exprience for me with Wavelet. While it works fine for most tracks, there are certain situations where it clips. I have two different Liberty 3 Pro's (an older Silver one and a newer Purple I bought as a backup pair) and they both have this problem. The in app-EQ is decent for quick adjustments but seems to apply a limiter to minimize clipping and consequently lacks the versatility of a third-party EQ.I would say that what made my L3Ps sound good is running both a custom EQ in the app as well as using Wavelet. Like it's probably overly complicated for most and obviously impossible if you use an iPhone, but totally, totally worth it in my opinion to make it sound the way I want it to.
I think they're also really great for pop and electronic music, would say that jazz and rock is the music they shine the least on to me, but they still sound great with most if not all genres.
Like the stock tuning is absolutely a hot mess, but the way they respond to EQ is really magical.
ANC is totally not their strong suit though, I find them weaker than the original GBPs as well by quite a bit, but I think that's because I get a GREAT seal with the GBPs. I haven't tried any other tips than the ones that come with the earbuds however so I might improve on the ANC if I get better noise isolation.
I don't like how I can actually hear traffic zooming by if i'm walking next to a road even when listening on somewhat loud volume levels (65-70%-ish), but it's not a huge deal.
Unsure. I was charged the $225 usd and above was the breakdown in Yen, so maybe it was incorporated in the price.There were no customs fees?
Yep, I cranked them to max, but I still need them to be like 80/100 to hear the full sound
Can you help me to eq with this?
Definitely get expedited shipping. For the small difference, it's very much worth not waiting the extra week But in case you don't, fwiw it does seem that UPS handles the US leg of the slow shipping.$225 all in. I paid extra for expedited.

It’s about a 91 cent price difference, I wouldn’t sweat it.Seem like I missed that deal. Thank you
If importing to the us you won’t pay customs fees under the $800 threshold.There were no customs fees?
Here's one of my most used functions with TWX9 for quick hear-through - it's super practical.Quick update as I continue to give the TWX9 a nice go-around. An absolute joy to commute with! It was very windy today and the ANC (using its calibrated mode) blocked out most of it AND the train noise when I got to the underground stations. Interestingly, I can still hear a bit of the train announcements, but I noticed in the app they have a little function to let voices come through among the noises.
