INTRODUCING FINAL'S FLAGSHIP TRUE WIRELESS EARBUD - THE ZE8000 MK2

Final is a company that makes high-end audio earphones and headphones. It was established in 2007 and has been the hallmark of precision Japanese engineering with a focus; on finesse and accuracy. Following the same path, Final introduced their true wireless earbuds - the ZE3000 & ZE2000. The ZE3000 & ZE2000 had seen all the success and were widely accepted; by audiophiles and casual music listeners alike. Building on the lineage, Final is proud to bring their flagship ZE8000 MK2 True Wireless Earbud. Final has introduced "8K SOUND" with the ZE8000 MK2. The ZE8000 MK2 has all the features like ANC, Bluetooth, high-quality microphones, and app support. Of course, there are other criteria for choosing earphones as practical products. The battery and board parts are separated, and the overwhelmingly small housing provides a comfortable fit, noise cancellation that does not adversely affect the sound and does not feel oppressive, and the selection of optimum volume according to the song and environment. All these criteria are addressed with the all-new ZE8000 MK2. The ZE8000 MK2 is here to impress you with its sound quality and its feature sets!

EXPERIENCE FIRST-EVER 8K SOUND TECH IN ALL ITS GLORY

Final has gone guns blazing with their all-new ZE8000 MK2. A team of engineers at Final have researched & developed the ZE8000 MK2 to feature 8K SOUND technology that has never been experienced before. Final's acoustic research team discovered new physical properties different from those that have long been referenced in the industry. Sounds based on this new physics proved to sound overwhelmingly higher definition than before. The 8K SOUND tech focuses on everything, including the range, instruments, voice, including depth. The ZE8000 MK2 is a product that Final can confidently tell you that sound is the criterion for choosing true wireless earphones. With the 8K SOUND, more emphasis is given to high frequencies to create a sense of resolution and low frequencies to create a sense of power. This new 8K SOUND is a musical experience for everyone. However, if you concentrate on a particular instrument or voice, you will hear subtle notes clearly and precisely without them being masked. In addition to correcting the frequency and time domains using a general FIR filter, Final Audio has achieved high-definition "8K SOUND" by uniquely combining multiple digital signal processing technologies. Experience the magic of 8K SOUND tech and delve into pure sonic bliss with the all-new ZE8000 MK2!

FEATURES ULTRA-HIGH PRECISION AND ULTRA-LOW DISTORTION F-CORE DRIVER FOR 8K SOUND

The ZE8000 MK2 hosts ultra-high precision and ultra-low distortion driver "f-CORE for 8K SOUND". To implement advanced "Digital Signal Processing," it is essential to develop accurate drivers. To realise 8K SOUND, a team of engineers at Final have newly developed an ultra-high-precision and ultra-low-distortion driver - the "f-CORE for 8K SOUND". A large-diameter diaphragm equivalent to a diameter of 13 mm, unusual for completely wireless earphones, is fixed without adhesive by sandwiching it integrally with the edge using special silicone. In addition, the wiring to the coil also uses an aerial wiring system, so it is also adhesive-free. This adhesive-free manufacturing method reduces the weight and precision of the diaphragm. By precisely swinging the ultra-lightweight diaphragm, Final has succeeded in developing; a driver with overwhelmingly less distortion and higher accuracy than general drivers.

FOUR MODES OF ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION FUSED WITH TWO HIGH-PERFORMANCE MICROPHONES

The ZE8000 MK2 features Noise Cancellation that does not affect playback sound and does not feel oppressive. In general, ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) affects the playback sound by causing a time delay and muffled low frequencies. If you increase the effect of ANC, you may get "Noise Sickness" due to the feeling of pressure. The ZE8000 MK2, with its ANC, prioritises sound quality and comfort without oppression sensation using a proprietary algorithm. In addition to the "Noise Cancelling Mode", it is possible to switch to four patterns: "wind cut mode", "listening while listening mode", and "voice through mode". "Noise Cancelling Mode": Reduces ambient noise and makes it easier to hear the playback sound. "Wind Cut Mode": Reduces the noise "wind blowing sound" that hits the microphone of the earphone body, making it easier to hear the playback sound. "Listen while mode": The music playback volume remains the same, and you hear the surrounding sounds. It eliminates the unnaturalness of external sounds such as footsteps and is a natural external sound capture function that feels less uncomfortable than when you are not wearing earphones. "Voice Through Mode": Automatically lowers the volume of music playback; to make it easier to hear surrounding sounds. The "Voice Through Mode" is useful when temporarily listening to outside sounds, such as train announcements. You can also talk without removing the earphones. Two high-performance microphones are placed at a distance to enable beamforming to the mouth. Even with outdoor calls, your voice is delivered to the other person because of the elimination of ambient noise.

BLUETOOTH 5.2 SUPPORT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPERIENCE HI-RES AUDIO WIRELESSLY

ZE8000 MK2 is a wireless earbud that gives you freedom from wires while delivering natural audio reproduction wirelessly. It comes with Bluetooth 5.2, which ensures that the earbuds have a strong connection with the paired device, improving the call quality. These earbuds do all the heavy lifting for you, so all you have to do is, pair them with your device and hit play. ZE8000 MK2 is compatible with a wide range of iPhone and Android devices and is easy to pair. In addition to the SBC and AAC, it supports the uninterrupted, high-quality Qualcomm® aptX™ and aptX™ Adaptive. The ZE8000 MK2 is also compatible with Qualcomm's® new audio platform, Snapdragon Sound™. aptX Adaptive (24bit/96kHz) allows you to enjoy high-resolution sound sources with high sound quality and low latency.

ENABLES OPTIMAL VOLUME ADJUSTMENT WITH VOLUME STEP OPTIMIZATION FEATURE

The "Volume Step Optimization" function of the ZE8000 MK2 allows optimal volume adjustment. When wearing earphones, the ability to select; the appropriate volume level for listening to music is crucial. Even a slight deviation is worrisome. However, with smartphone volume operation, the volume changes exponentially for each step. The closer you get to the maximum or minimum volume, the greater the volume change with each step. Therefore, even if you want to finely adjust the volume when using it at home in the middle of the night at a low volume, you may not be able to set the "volume" to your liking. Also, when using a loud volume on the train, there is a tendency to occur that one step up is too loud and lowering it makes it difficult to hear. The ZE8000 MK2 executes "Volume Step Optimization" from the dedicated app "final CONNECT" to subdivide the volume step near the volume that feels just right. You may fine-tune the volume and enjoy the comfort of listening.

EQUIPPED WITH CLASS AB AMPLIFIER AND THIN-FILM POLYMER MULTILAYER CAPACITOR

The ZE8000 MK2 is equipped with a Class AB amplifier, which is rare in wireless earphones. Not only does it lessen the audio signal's distortion, but it also raises the signal-to-noise ratio so that you can hear a sound that emerges suddenly from quiet. Additionally, a thin-film polymer multilayer capacitor is incorporated in the amplifier output section (PMLCAP). It is rather unusual to utilise such expensive and large capacitors in wireless earbuds, but Final prioritises sound quality and employs them to reduce distortion in the amplifier portion.

WHOPPING 15 HOURS OF BATTERY LIFE WITH AN IPX4 WATERPROOF RATING

You can enjoy a working day of 5 hours from your ZE8000 MK2 and store another 15 hours in the case. That means 20 hours of listening every time you leave the house. In a hurry? Just 5-minute quick charging gives you up to 45 minutes of playtime. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these ZE8000 MK2 – so you can keep grooving to the music. Waterproof IPX4 support for safe living even in sudden weather changes. Even on rainy days and when participating in sports, it can be worn without stress.

COMPATIBLE WITH DEDICATED FINAL CONNECT APP

The ZE8000 MK2 is compatible with the "final CONNECT" app, which allows you to customise the ZE8000 MK2 to your specifications. In addition to being able to switch between four modes of noise cancellation and external sound capture: "Noise Cancellation", "Wind Cut", "Listen While Listening", and "Voice Through", "PRO Equaliser" allows you to easily adjust the sound quality like a professional engineer, "Volume Step Optimization," allows you to finely adjust the optimal volume and "8K SOUND" for ultra-high-definition tone. As a practical item for daily use, such as the "8K SOUND+" mode that you can enjoy even more, it is equipped with the functions necessary for wireless earphones.

OPTIMUM ALL-DAY WEARING COMFORT WITH NEW EARPIECE DESIGN

The comfort of wearing earphones is influenced by the size of the inserted part. Typically, wireless earphones store batteries and substrates within the enclosure, potentially increasing the bulkiness and causing discomfort. The ZE8000 MK2 takes a different approach, featuring a separate design that isolates the substrate and battery from the mounting part, minimizing the area inside the ear. The exclusive silicone-covered earpiece provides a gentle and secure fit, preventing it from slipping off. Additionally, the new shield fin mechanism in two locations enhances sound insulation and adhesion compared to the initial model. The package includes earpieces in five sizes (SS/S/M/L/LL) for an optimal fit.
