Customer Reviews
I received ZE8000 in time from HZ It is unique bluetooth ear phone- exclusive eartips—-After hearing Apple music& Spotify premium from I pad pro I experienced music on par with one with Raptgo hook X or Kiwi ears quintet iem It is amazing for the price I paid It scores over other popularbluetooth ear buds
Hey, thanks a lot for the amazing review!
At this price, with such a finely tuned sound profile, it's unbeatable! 🎧 I've been an audio hobbyist for years, but this truly blew me away, especially for TWS. No brainer at this price! 🔥 The bass is top-notch, the imaging is sharp, and the vocals are crystal clear—even with ANC on. 🙌 The 8k tweak improves imaging and tightens up the bass even more. 🎶 If you're after no-nonsense, amazing-sounding TWS, this is the one! 👌
Thank you for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that our Final - ZE8000 TWS has exceeded your expectations in terms of sound quality and at a great price.
It sounds amazing, thick and pleasant timber and it sounds so clean that I want to raise volume more that it can't provide.
Soundstage is wide and deep, imaging is quite good too.
Battery drains fast as expected, max volume using aptx adaptive is sometimes less than what I want other than that fit is unique and might feel weird but fits well and softly, they are lighter than expected and built is quite good, it's texture feels so good.
This tws sounds like a good iem, bass quality is so good, tuning is relaxed and smooth so treble is less a little bit that can be tuned in app.
ANC works fine doesn't affect sound quality.
It sounds natural and organic and these are best for classical.
There is no better sounding tws under 13k imo.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review for the Final - ZE8000. We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality, fit, and build of these earphones. Happy listening!
These are meant for listening to music, full stop. Final decided to go all in one audio quality at the cost of everything else, and it shows. It takes a while to get used to the neutral, detailed sound signature compared to other boom boom TWS on the market, but after a while you will realise that this is *it*- you can never go back. Thank you Headphonezone for the astonishing deal on this pair in the sale. A worthy addition to any collection.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
I wanted to get my hands on the Final Audio ZE8000 after looking at several reviews over the internet, and I simply messaged Headphone Zone that I wanted this bad boy. I am glad that my product request was accepted and satisfied duly by the Headphone Zone team within 3 weeks, even though the expected delivery date was between 6 to 8 weeks. (A+++ for that!)
Talking about the ZE8000, design-wise, it looks like something straight out of Evangelion. The Japs know their s#!t and as a result, it sells there. Personally, I love the design of the earbuds and the case. Don't let the size of the case dissuade you from getting the wireless earbuds. It's pretty lightweight, since it is entirely made of plastic.
These also fit great. A single rubber ear tip covers the concha and the ear canal, by taking support over the tragus. However, make sure to try varying sizes for the left and right ear. I use the Medium (M) tip for left and Large (L) tip for the right ear.
The audio quality blew me away. I have previously used the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Apple AirPods Pro, and the Sony WF-1000XM4 TWS earbuds. These sound the 'cleanest' out of all, thanks to its Class AB amplifier that reduces any distortion in audio. The audio is flat balanced, and natural (other places confirm that these do have a near flat frequency response curve). I listened to "Polyphia - Playing God" on these earbuds, and man, I got an eargasm on my first listening experience... 😳
The ZE8000 has 4 modes in total: - Noise-Cancelling (Basically indoor usage mode), Wind-Cut (Cuts wind noises by using the mics on the earbuds), Ambient Sound (Allows you to listen to other people along with your music at around 60% volume), and Voice Through (Literally drives your audio down to 1% or so to listen to people around you). I am currently using it with the Final Connect app on my iPhone 14 Pro, and I have not faced any difficulty in changing through modes or connectivity in general using the app. It just works. The app also has other features such as Pro EQ, Volume Step Optimizer, and 8K SOUND+.
No product is perfect, and ZE8000 does have its flaws. Firstly, it has no in-ear detection sensor. Your music won't pause if you take even one of them off. Second, the fitment may not be for everyone. It is also a time-consuming process to test each and every ear tip. Third, the touch sensor lies on the center of the 'stick' that protudes from the earbuds, which may be cumbersome to a few people. Fourth, the EQ only allows for adjusting 4 bands at any given time. Fifth, these may run on low volume on certain devices which lack Snapdragon Sound (my device included), so you need to max out the volume to get the best out of these TWS earbuds. Last and final drawback, the 8K SOUND+. They are a gimmick IMHO. The audio sounds the same, at the cost of extra battery life. I prefer keeping it off. These cons really didn't deter me from purchasing them, as I wanted these as an alternative to the consumer junk available in the same price range. It IS worth the 30k I spent on them.
Since I wanted to keep the review as short as possible, I had to cut down on many pointers. But I guess the pointers discussed above should help you in making a sound judgement on whether to purchase the Final Audio ZE8000 or not.
Thanks a lot for your detailed and genuine feedback, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product and we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well. It'll also help our fellow customers to make the right choice!
When I bought the ZE8000, I had already been using the AirPods Pro v2 and also the Sony WF-1000XM4 for about a year. I felt there was always something missing, maybe I was searching for a lot more of musical brilliance from those earbuds. With the ZE8000 I am highly impressed with the overall build quality to begin with and its musical range. You can go extremely low end very easily and these buds have amazing clarity and tone right throughout the frequency range. I would highly recommend these for people who’re inclined on getting ANC-enabled earbuds with a focus
Hey Hardik, thanks a lot for this lovely review and we are glad you are enjoying it! Keep the music playing.
Final Connect app doesn't work on my android phone. Otherwise works fine. Not LDAC. Adaptive Aptx sound. Pairs easily with a new device. But can't enjoy the multiple connection option as the app is not working. ANC works fine. What's with the app? Are they rebuilding it or something? I updated the firmware then it doesn't open anymore.
Good design, bulky case but with useful features. Sound quality doesnt blow you away. Poor bass. You get some improvement by using the app to shape the sound. Overall it is of decent sound quality but doesn't shine.

Ideal for Travel
I always tell people — the best travel audio gear is the one you forget you're wearing ✈️. When something is “Ideal for Travel,” it means it's been thoughtfully designed to be portable, durable, and battery-efficient, so you can take your music anywhere, hassle-free.
Here’s what’s actually happening: travel-friendly gear is typically lightweight, compact, and often comes with carry cases or foldable designs. Some even offer multi-day battery life, Bluetooth support, or active noise cancellation. They’re built to survive the wear and tear of planes, trains, and hotel rooms — without compromising on sound quality. The only trade-off might be slightly less power or scale than full-sized setups — but the convenience more than makes up for it.
When you see '🧳 Ideal for Travel' products, expect: lightweight, reliable gear that keeps you immersed in music wherever you go — without slowing you down.
Works for Taking Calls
Need to take calls while enjoying your music?
These headphones have got you covered 📞! I've found that nothing's more frustrating than missing important calls because your headphones don't handle them well. These products come equipped with built-in microphones and seamless call functionality, ensuring you never miss an important conversation while immersed in your audio experience. Think of them as your personal communication assistant that switches effortlessly between entertainment and business.
These devices are specifically engineered to provide crystal-clear voice transmission during calls, featuring advanced noise-cancelling technology that helps eliminate background interference. The intuitive controls make it simple to answer calls, adjust volume, and return to music without reaching for your phone.
When you see "☎️ Works for Taking Calls" products, expect versatile audio solutions that excel at both music playback and communication, perfect for professionals and anyone who values seamless connectivity.
Great for Active Noise Cancellation
I like to describe Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) as a mute button for the outside world. In my experience, it’s one of the most life-changing features if you're on noisy flights, in open offices, or just need a bit of peace. ANC uses microphones to analyse external sounds, then cancels them out before they reach your ears 🔇.
Here’s what’s actually happening: the system produces anti-noise signals in real time, reducing unwanted sounds like airplane hum, traffic, or AC units. High-end ANC gear even adapts dynamically to changing environments. The trade-off? Slight battery drain and sometimes a subtle change in sound signature — but modern implementations are getting incredibly transparent. And when done right, it feels like stepping into your own private listening lounge.
When you see '🤫 Great for Active Noise Cancellation' products, expect: quieter surroundings, improved focus, and immersive music — perfect for flights, commutes, or loud environments.
Battery Life
In my experience, battery life is one of those things that separates a good day from a frustrating one. It's like having a fuel gauge you can rely on — longer battery life means less charging and more uninterrupted music. Whether you're on a flight or just commuting across town, this is one spec you don’t want to overlook 🔋.
Technically, battery life refers to the hours your device can play music on a single charge. Today’s headphones and DACs can range from 4 to 40+ hours, depending on things like Bluetooth codec, volume, and active features like ANC. More battery life also means better travel and portability, though it might come at the cost of size or weight.
When you see '⏳ Battery Life' products, expect: longer listening sessions, fewer charging breaks, and stress-free portability for music that goes the distance.
Use Wirelessly with Bluetooth
I tend to describe Bluetooth audio as wireless freedom with fewer strings attached — literally. When you see Use Wirelessly with Bluetooth, it means you can pair your headphones or IEMs with phones, laptops, or even TVs — all without reaching for a cable 🎶. It’s convenient, clutter-free, and great for everyday listening.
What’s happening behind the scenes is your gear is using Bluetooth codecs like SBC, AAC, LDAC, or aptX to compress and transmit your music wirelessly. Better codecs mean higher quality and lower latency. Of course, there’s a trade-off — Bluetooth won’t match the quality of wired gear, but today’s advancements have made the gap much smaller than before.
When you see '✂️ Use Wirelessly with Bluetooth' products, expect: tangle-free convenience and solid sound quality — great for commuting, workouts, or casual listening.
IPX Rating
I’ve found that IPX ratings are a bit like an umbrella — you don’t always need it, but when you do, you’re glad it’s there ☔. “IPX Rating” tells you how resistant a product is to water and sweat, making it a crucial factor for outdoor use or workouts.
Now, here’s what’s actually happening: IPX is a standard that ranges from basic sweat resistance (IPX4) to full waterproofing (IPX7 or IPX8). It means your earphones won’t die on you mid-run or if you're caught in a drizzle. Just remember, IPX ratings don’t cover dust or solid particles unless they have a second digit (like IP67). So, if you're near the beach or in the gym a lot, this is a badge to take seriously.
When you see '☔ IPX Rating' products, expect: sweat- and splash-resistant gear that won’t flinch in the rain, at the gym, or during your toughest workouts.
Why it Sounds Amazing
Dynamic Driver
The dynamic powerhouse of your sound ⚡!
I believe dynamic drivers are like the "reliable workhorses" of the headphone world - they've been perfected over decades and continue to deliver incredible performance. This driver design uses a lightweight diaphragm attached to a voice coil suspended within a permanent magnetic field, enabling precise and responsive movement that produces sound with remarkable efficiency. Think of them like precision engines that convert electrical energy into acoustic energy with impressive power and naturalness.
Dynamic drivers excel at delivering powerful and authoritative bass reproduction, clear midrange frequencies, and vibrant high frequencies. The inherent strengths ensure your music is reproduced with impressive dynamics and energy that stays true to the artist's intent 🎶.
When you see "🔈 Dynamic Driver" products, expect energetic, natural sound with excellent dynamics that bring every note and beat to life with exceptional realism.
Balanced Sound Signature
In my experience, a balanced sound signature is like a well-cooked meal—nothing overpowering, everything in harmony. If you’re someone who listens to a bit of everything—rock one day, jazz the next—this is the tuning I’d recommend. It doesn’t boost any part of the sound unnaturally, so what you hear is often how the artist intended it. 🎧
Here’s what’s actually happening: the headphones don’t favour bass, mids, or treble excessively. This results in a neutral, natural, and versatile sound that suits a wide variety of music genres. While it may not feel as “exciting” as some more coloured tunings, balanced headphones tend to offer the most accurate reproduction, making them a favourite among audiophiles and studio pros alike.
Thick Bass / Kickass Bass
When I say kickass bass, I’m talking about bass that slaps you right in the face—in the best way possible. It’s that visceral, chest-thumping low-end that makes you feel like you’re in the front row of a concert or a nightclub. If you’re into hip-hop, EDM, Bollywood beats, or anything with a deep groove, this is where the fun begins. 🔊💥
Here’s what’s going on technically: the low-frequency range is heavily emphasised, resulting in powerful sub-bass rumble and impactful mid-bass slam. This kind of tuning brings weight, warmth, and physicality to your music. The trade-off? It might mask some midrange detail or high-frequency sparkle—but for bassheads, the emotional payoff is more than worth it.
Crisp Vocals & Instruments
Vocals and instruments sound so good, it's like a warm hug 🤗!
I believe that when vocals are reproduced correctly, they should feel like the artist is performing right there with you. These headphones demonstrate exceptional prowess in reproducing clear, articulate vocals and instruments, with each element rendered in stunning detail and separation. Think of it like having front-row seats to an intimate acoustic performance where every breath, every string resonance, every subtle inflection comes through perfectly.
The natural timbre and tonal accuracy create an engaging presentation where every nuance is preserved while maintaining fatigue-free listening. Each word, note, and subtle inflection is reproduced with outstanding definition and emotional connection 🎤.
When you encounter "🍿 Crisp Vocals & Instruments" products, expect vocal excellence that brings you closer to the emotional heart of every performance.
Smooth & Sweet Treble
Seeking something that sounds smooth and devoid of harshness 🥰? I tend to describe these headphones as having "silk-like highs" that caress your ears rather than assault them. These products are meticulously designed to deliver high frequencies that are wonderfully gentle, offering a listening experience that's both sophisticated and delightful. Think of it like the difference between premium chocolate and cheap candy - both are sweet, but one provides refined pleasure while the other can be overwhelming.
The carefully tuned treble presentation ensures musical details come through with remarkable clarity while maintaining natural, fatigue-free character. The refined high-frequency presentation maintains excellent detail and air while avoiding any hint of harshness or stridency ✨.
When you see "🍦 Smooth & Sweet Treble" products, expect refined high frequencies that deliver crisp detail with a touch of sweetness and sophistication.
Aggressive and Energetic
Ready for an audio adrenaline rush 🏃♂️?
I love describing these headphones as having "lightning in a bottle" energy that keeps you on the edge of your seat. These are specifically engineered to deliver powerful, high-energy sound that makes every listening session feel like an adventure. Think of them like energy drinks for your ears - they transform ordinary tracks into pulse-pounding sonic experiences that keep you motivated and energised throughout your day.
The sound signature is carefully tuned to emphasise punch, impact, and musical drive, ensuring every beat hits with authority and excitement. These products excel at delivering intense, vibrant audio with exceptional dynamic contrast ⚡.
When you see "🧨 Aggressive and Energetic" products, expect high-energy performance that transforms your music into consistently exciting and invigorating sonic adventures.
Layered and Nuanced Sound
Imagine sitting in the second row of a grand music hall 🎼, where each instrument's placement creates a vivid sonic landscape before you. I believe these headphones recreate that precise spatial positioning, allowing you to distinctly perceive where each instrument would be on an imaginary stage. Think of it like watching an orchestra conductor - you can follow each section independently while appreciating how they work together in perfect harmony. The layered presentation ensures every element occupies its own distinct space while contributing to the whole.
This audio equipment creates a detailed listening experience where musical notes, overtones, and reverberations shine through clearly, keeping complex passages distinct and well-separated. The tuning excels at revealing subtle interplay between instruments and the natural ambiance of recording spaces 🎯.
When you see "🍰 Layered and Nuanced Sound" products, expect intricate soundscapes that reveal the depth, complexity, and artistry in your favorite music with exceptional clarity.
Like a Party in your Head
Now this one’s easy—if a sound signature makes you want to dance, sing, or just lose yourself in the music, that’s what I call a party in your head. 💃 It’s the kind of sound that’s fun, energetic, and unapologetically lively. Think strong bass, glimmering treble, and a forward midrange that grabs your attention right away.
Technically, it’s usually a V-shaped or bass-boosted signature that’s not too concerned with neutrality but focuses on excitement and engagement. It’s perfect for Bollywood, EDM, pop, or anything upbeat. While it may not be the most accurate tuning, it’s the kind that gets your feet tapping and your head nodding within seconds. And honestly? Sometimes, that’s all you need.

This is open to all music lovers and audio enthusiasts to come in and experience Final’s range of headphones & earphones. The store proudly showcases their Japanese heritage and cultural artefacts. This represents Final's deep respect for the audio purist.
INTRODUCING FINAL'S FLAGSHIP TRUE WIRELESS EARBUD - THE ZE8000
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 True Wireless Earbud. Final has introduced "8K SOUND" with the ZE8000. The ZE8000 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. The ZE8000 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. A team of engineers at Final have researched & developed the ZE8000 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 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!
FEATURES ULTRA-HIGH PRECISION AND ULTRA-LOW DISTORTION F-CORE DRIVER FOR 8K SOUND
The ZE8000 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 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, 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.
NOTE : To use it, a software update using the dedicated app "final CONNECT" is required.
BLUETOOTH 5.2 SUPPORT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPERIENCE HI-RES AUDIO WIRELESSLY
ZE8000 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 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 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.
NOTE : Pairing with a Snapdragon Sound™ compatible device is required.
ENABLES OPTIMAL VOLUME ADJUSTMENT WITH VOLUME STEP OPTIMIZATION FEATURE
The "Volume Step Optimization" function of the ZE8000 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 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 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 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 – 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.
NOTE : When charging the charging case, do not use a cable other than the one provided.
COMPATIBLE WITH DEDICATED FINAL CONNECT APP
The ZE8000 is compatible with the "final CONNECT" app, which allows you to customise the ZE8000 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.
NOTE : Final plans to add new features through firmware updates.
OPTIMUM ALL-DAY WEARING COMFORT
The comfort of wearing earphones is determined by the size of the part that goes into your ears. In completely wireless earphones, the battery and board are inside the housing, so the shape of the main body tends to be a bit bulky. Such earphones pressure your ears from the inside and make you tired while you wear them. To minimise the portion that is attached to the ear, the ZE8000 is "structured" so that the board and battery are independent of the mounting section. Additionally, the silicone-coated unique earpiece that covers all the elements that contact the ears fits delicately in the ear while still holding firmly and remaining in place. There are five sizes total for the most suitable fit.

Final makes use of high precision Japanese engineering with focus on finesse andaccuracy. Adopting cutting edge technology with high attention to detail and the highest quality of audiodesign, Final has carved a name for itself amongst audiophiles winning multiple awards over the years.
CREATING VALUABLE ANTIQUES, NOT JUST PRODUCTS
The team at Final strongly believes in creating earphones and headphones thatare highly revered by people. Final earphones, like Swiss wristwatches and German Cars must be built tolast forever and used as valuable antiques. The result of such careful consideration is a long-lasting,rational & emotionally valuable asset with the best sound quality and best design.
CRAFTED IN KAWASAKI, JAPAN SINCE 1974
At the Final factory, the team of audio designers are dedicated toinnovating audio products through research. Unlike other OEM manufacturers, they believe indesigning their products in-house. This facilitates internal feedback between various teams anddepartments, encouraging the process for developing a long lasting product.
A PROUD SHOWCASE OF JAPANESE HERITAGE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
Final has a state-of-the-art company-owned “Final Store” located in Tokyo, Japan. This is open to all music lovers and audio enthusiasts to come in and experience Final’s range of headphones & earphones. The store proudly showcases their Japanese heritage and cultural artefacts. This represents Final's deep respect for the audio purist.
INTRODUCING FINAL'S FLAGSHIP TRUE WIRELESS EARBUD - THE ZE8000
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 True Wireless Earbud. Final has introduced "8K SOUND" with the ZE8000. The ZE8000 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. The ZE8000 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. A team of engineers at Final have researched & developed the ZE8000 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 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!
FEATURES ULTRA-HIGH PRECISION AND ULTRA-LOW DISTORTION F-CORE DRIVER FOR 8K SOUND
The ZE8000 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 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, 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.
NOTE : To use it, a software update using the dedicated app "final CONNECT" is required.
BLUETOOTH 5.2 SUPPORT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPERIENCE HI-RES AUDIO WIRELESSLY
ZE8000 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 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 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.
NOTE : Pairing with a Snapdragon Sound™ compatible device is required.
ENABLES OPTIMAL VOLUME ADJUSTMENT WITH VOLUME STEP OPTIMIZATION FEATURE
The "Volume Step Optimization" function of the ZE8000 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 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 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 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 – 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.
NOTE : When charging the charging case, do not use a cable other than the one provided.
COMPATIBLE WITH DEDICATED FINAL CONNECT APP
The ZE8000 is compatible with the "final CONNECT" app, which allows you to customise the ZE8000 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.
NOTE : Final plans to add new features through firmware updates.
OPTIMUM ALL-DAY WEARING COMFORT
The comfort of wearing earphones is determined by the size of the part that goes into your ears. In completely wireless earphones, the battery and board are inside the housing, so the shape of the main body tends to be a bit bulky. Such earphones pressure your ears from the inside and make you tired while you wear them. To minimise the portion that is attached to the ear, the ZE8000 is "structured" so that the board and battery are independent of the mounting section. Additionally, the silicone-coated unique earpiece that covers all the elements that contact the ears fits delicately in the ear while still holding firmly and remaining in place. There are five sizes total for the most suitable fit.
