Final Audio ZE3000 Hi-Fi Sound Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds, Black

The ZE3000 takes its name from the E3000, the brand's most widely recognized wired earphones, which have sold hundreds of thousands of units since its launch in 2017 and have won an unprecedented ten consecutive gold medals at Japan's largest audio awards, the VGP. At the time of the E3000's launch, most earphones in the same price range were designed to make an impactful impression at first listen, with an ostentatious sound that emphasizes both the low and the high frequencies. In contrast, we've chosen to create a natural sound that does not purposely emphasize any frequencies for the E3000, but to create a sound which is pleasant to be listened to based on scientific knowledge of acoustic engineering and psychoacoustics. It is not designed to bring an impactful surprise at first listen, but it is designed to allow you to concentrate on enjoying your music, and as a result, it's been highly praised by end users, especially on social media, and eventually has become the absolute reference at the segment. When we started to design the ZE3000, without a doubt, we set our goal to surpass the sound quality of the E3000. However, it would be difficult to achieve the same sound quality in truly wireless earbuds as in a wired earphones due to several limitations.

The first challenge is truly wireless earbuds are having batteries, electronic circuit boards and antennas occupying most of the space inside the housing. This means that there is less freedom to create a perfect acoustic chamber to achieve a high-quality sound. In addition, the waterproof feature which is commonly expected is forcing the housing to be completely sealed without a single vent to regulate the air pressure inside the acoustic chamber resulting the low-frequency sound becoming overwhelming and causing the overall clarity to degrade due to the auditory masking effect. One of the common countermeasures by the other brands is to increase the presence of the high frequencies to regain clarity but this leads to fatigue after long period of listening. In order to avoid such issue, by fully utilizing the unoccupied acoustic space inside the ZE3000 and our knowledge in fluid mechanic engineering, we introduce a newly developed “f-LINK Damping System” that optimizes the pressure in the acoustic space inside the earbuds housing to create a sound equivalent to wired earphones without the need for external vents. This system makes it possible to achieve both waterproof performance and well-controlled sound production in the low-frequency range, making it possible to achieve the iconic natural sound production of E3000 in truly wireless form.

Most manufacturers opt to increase the high frequencies in order to balance up the overall sound presentation and eventually the sound becomes overemphasized on both low and high frequencies, resulting a less natural sound with a tendency for vocals to become distant.
