About this deal

The Bose QC45 and AKG N700NC M2 only support SBC and AAC so these are not an option. The AKG N700NC M2 also supports Samsungs Scalable Audio Codec but this is only applicable to Samsung phones.

Final UX3000 review: Affordable ANC bliss - Pocket-lint

final is a company that sells high-end audio earphones and headphones under its own brand final as well as conducting component technology development, product planning, design, planning, manufacturing and sales of other companies’ brands. So most but not all ambient sounds are diminished, with the general sound of the commute on the train quietened and the sounds of vehicles and voices making less of an impression. In that sense, the UX3000 hit the target and should make a good companion for everyday use and the commute. You can also take advantage of noise cancelling without powering on the headphones, if you need some peace and quiet. The noise cancelling function can also be used independently as an earmuff while music or other audio is not playing.I want the headphones to be rugged and have a neutralish sound signature that's more on the side of fun than flat, but accurate enough for editing on the go. Final points out that generic noise-canceling methodologies will degrade sound quality and require heavy equalizing to compensate, causing a fatiguing and unpleasant output. This is not the case for the UX3000, and it has some special functions to offer. Tech highlights aptX™ Low Latency (LL) connection I like this feature as I could also use ANC when using the headphones with a wire. I have not tested with the wire as of this review as they are Bluetooth headphones. It’s that word ‘inoffensive’ that is our issue here. It’s not inoffensive in a good way; dynamic punch and rhythmic drive are somehow missing, which means the music, while perfectly acceptable, simply doesn’t grab our attention and draw us in in a way that the best headphones and speakers can. Music is somewhat robbed of character, drive and energy. In comparison, I get discomfort from the headband of the Audeze LCD-1 within an hour of listening and within 20 minutes of the Audeze Mobius.

I will admit I thought these headphones felt kinda cheap when I took them out of the box. The plastic on the earcups is thin and the headphones don’t have much heft to them. However, on closer inspection, it’s clear that the build quality is good – but it’s not exactly a premium feel. The headphones are foldable and the earcups rotate 90 degrees so they have good portability and don’t take up much space in a bag.Using ANC you should get 25 hours of playtime from the UX3000. With ANC off, you add an additional ten hours for a total of 35 hours of listening time. This is a fairly standard battery for this price point. Soundstage As you might expect the UX3000 being Final Audio’s first over-ear design they have made a focus on attention to detail and it shows provides a premium feel even with that plastic build. As mentioned the cups come with that faux leather that covers the foam that sits around your ears. Products such as earphones and headphones belong to a category known as current electrical appliances whose value is the greatest when they are brand new. The UX3000 is equipped with high-performance microphones and the noise-canceling function would not be muffling out the voices, so you could use it for conferences, gaming, or watching TV while being freed from ambient noises Connect to multiple devices The company was established in 2007. It began as a subsidiary of the major American connector manufacturer Molex; in 2014, it went independent through an MBO by the current management team. Now is what you would call its second formation.

final UX3000 review: not quite the best UX - Soundphile Review final UX3000 review: not quite the best UX - Soundphile Review

Press and hold the ANC Button for 2s and the ANC function will be deactivated in 2 different ways depending on the status of the headphone. With a playtime of 25 hours with active noise cancellation switched on, and 35 hours turned off UX3000 headphones go the extra mile. Also, the noise cancelling function can be used independently even when not listening to music. It can be used as a personal soundproof realm by using the noise cancelling function for making calls, permitting conversations to be heard clearly while eliminating ambient noise. Sony is known for their best-in-class ANC, but to be honest, the sound when active noise cancellation works is crappy, UX3000 ANC reacts worse to inconstant noise, but the sound quality is still acceptable. Another important thing to compare is that apart from codecs mentioned above, Sony headphones also support LDAC, which allows to stream Hi-Res files, but the most important thing, at least for me – is the sound. The Final Audio use Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless connectivity, with SBC, AAC, aptX and aptX Low Latency codec compatibility. So it’s reasonable to expect a robust connection and tight audio/video synchronisation. With a stripped-down aesthetic and feature set, the Final UX3000 aim to provide hi-fi quality sound on your commute. It isn’t often we bet against Final delivering on the promises, and we’re not about to start with the UX3000 ANC headphones. DesignThe Bluetooth 5.0 has worked flawlessly during my testing. I didn’t have any connection issues and I found the working range to be about average. Battery Life The Edifier get an extra 4 hours of battery life with ANC on, getting up to 29 hours compared to the final’s 45. Speaking of ANC, I would say the W820NB’s noise-cancelling can go toe to toe with the final’s. Impressive! Verdict It’s a fine line between ‘neutral’ and ‘bland’ where the sound of headphones is concerned sometimes, and it’s one any number of price-comparable rivals to the UX3000 don’t even try to walk. Instead, they hit you with overconfident low frequencies and a sort of sonic relentlessness that’s easily (but only briefly) confused with ‘excitement’. They don’t create the biggest soundstage around, it’s true, but nevertheless the UX3000 can lay out a recording coherently and draw a convincing audio image. Specific instruments or performers have autonomy in their own little area of the soundstage, and there’s no blurring or muddling of positions on it.

A sensor (microphone) collects ambient noise for analysis. UX3000 comes equipped with sensors not just on the outside of the earcups, but on the inside as well. Alongside the hybrid noise cancelling feature, these sensors allow for a more precise analysis of noise. This feature let the user to enjoy their music in a quiet space by cancelling out the noise of trains, planes, cars and other household noises. Aside from supporting Bluetooth 5.0, the UX3000 also offers a multipoint connection to add to its wireless potential. For CODECs, you have SBC and AAC, as well as aptX and aptX LL. The pairing was seamless and I didn’t experience any dropouts during my long sessions with the UX3000. Battery Life The highs are slightly recessed compared to the Focal Listen Wireless resulting in a slight loss of detail in comparison. The positive of this is the Final UX 3000 are not fatiguing to listen to, I can comfortably listen to them for 6 to 8 hours.

If headphone power is ON: Announcement "Noise Cancelling" will be emitted and the Bluetooth/ANC Status Indicator flashes alternately in Blue and Green at a regular interval We were really impressed with the performance of the UX3000. They sound like they should cost double - if not triple - their asking price. The upper registers are smooth and very non-fatiguing, but could use a little more extension. The reserved treble is why, despite not having overly emphasized bass, the timbre still comes off as slightly dark. One solid aspect of the treble is that percussion and cymbals feel tight and resolving, making the headphones feel fast and responsive. A good amount of bass presence is provided in the low-end, featuring some smooth subs and an extended mid-bass. Overall the timbre here is pretty dark but mostly clean in its texture. I got the feel of the bass without it clouding other ranges of frequency in muddiness. There are some enticing qualities here, but the UX3000 skips out on impact for me. It instead opts for subtle resonances that provide a significant lift to the bass that make its response engaging. Soft vibrations emanate from the lows but do not pulsate, instead of reproducing a more natural output of frequency information while retaining light coloration. Mids
