About this deal

All the above made clear that Beryllium was not an option for the driver of A4000 and A3000. So, what was the solution? Final engineers had the idea to start from a humble and underestimated material, such as PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), which many manufacturers use, but in this case Final engineers tried to get the most out of it! How do you do that? By making changes to the voice coil, magnet and housing. The idea behind it is that if we want a driver to have a performance as close to perfect as possible, then all its parts must work as a single unit; if one (or more) of the driver parts has a flaw, then the driver ecosystem as a whole suffers.

Final’s VR3000 are perfectly suited for mobile gaming, with a remarkably wide soundstage and great balance between frequencies." Technical Specifications So for competitive shooters, obviously directional hearing (imaging) is a must-have and there is a lot of controversy over stage size when it comes to these kinds of shooters.I’m impressed despite these not being aimed at me at all. I’m not a huge gamer anymore, and it isn’t important for me to eke out every tactical advantage. At my age, I just want to play and enjoy the game. For those looking to up their game though, I believe the final VR3000 could provide that edge. Are they going to make you a tactical genius in Overwatch? Absolutely not. Those gentle footsteps or reloading sounds you might otherwise have missed might be a little clearer with the final VR3000 though. They are incredibly well balanced. Simply put, the immersion when using the VR3000 is superb. They really put you in the middle of the action with pinpoint accuracy. Being mainly a BF V player, these really make you feel as if you are in the battlefield. With Planes flying overhead, bullets flying past you and even the ability to hear people sneak up behind you. Not only does this immersion give you a slight edge, it makes gaming all the more worthwhile. For an earphone, the VR3000 offer up an impressive gaming performance, no matter what game / genre you play. They are made for gaming, it’s even in the product name, so gives you some idea. But they perform very well for music too. Good bass levels, perhaps a slightly different soundstage compared to other earphones but overall excellent quality. With gaming they performed very well with an excellent sense of direction and 3D sound, especially in FPS titles and capturing the atmospheric world in the likes of Cyberpunk 2077. The treble is Where this could be a bit better. Though the overall treble is ok and has enough details, in some cases the treble becomes a bit too loud.

With IEMs, I always do the usual burn-in of about 50 hours; it’s not that without this the IEMs do not sound right, but rather that the burn-in helps them to reach their full potential. Now, much more important than the technical burn-in, I consider the so-called phycological burn-in, which helps the listener to get acquainted with the IEM; in that sense, the phycological burn-in does not actually have a limit, and the more you listen the better you get to know the IEM. Another entry from Final Audio, the A4000 is clean and wide. The bass here is more natural but doesn’t skimp out on lifting all the sound effects to the right place. With the A4000, you get a good amount of separation between each section of the mix. It makes all the right punches, and should overall be a fun experience for games. Sounds like sitting in the sweet spot of a pair of small bookshelf monitors but no holographic sound or imaging like the a4000.A3000, on the other hand, does not have the “reference” and engaging presentation of A4000, but instead it is warmer and relaxing, although less dynamic than A4000. However, if you prefer a warmer presentation, you will find it much better than many IEMs that you have tried so far, which is mainly due to its transparency, soundstage and image.

Overall the sound quality is great for gaming and very good for podcasts too due to the clear and precise highs. Don’t expect rumbling base, but you’ll hear the calvary coming in your favourite game all the same! The highs can be a little loose but they provide just what a gamer needs to hear something when other headphones/IEMs might fail and muddy with the mids. Not here. Final Thoughts So, if you want, like me, your IEMs to be unforgiving, then you will choose A4000, and in that sense you will find A3000 to be a step behind A4000. If, on the other hand, you admire Final’s E3000, for its articulate yet with a touch of warmth presentation, and you want something with the same sound signature but much more transparent and open, then A3000 is what you are looking for; you will immediately find that A3000 is at a completely different level than E3000, and this combination of warm, transparent and open sound is hard to beat. Final Audio Design (typically referred to as simply “Final Audio” or even more simply as “Final”) is a bit of a weird brand in the context of the current IEM market. I’d consider them as your standard-fare “quirky Japanese company” making some oddball IEMs, but they’re also pretty much the only Japanese brand that have managed to retain some form of relevancy in the modern mainstream-ish market. In the binaural headphone test, which is great for testing both individual sound separation and positional audio, the results were very impressive. Each individual voice in the harmony was clearly identified, and you can almost visualise the relative positioning of each singer. The same is true of the instruments, with the multiple acoustic guitars and percussion all occupying a separate place within the soundstage.

The treble is clear but doesn’t add any significant flavor to the sound signature. Some high range content can sometimes present a thin image but doesn’t deter the response on a whole. Overall, there are some nice details, but not a focus on the VR3000.

A far more suitable use, though, and the reason most people will be looking for in-ear headphones, is mobile gaming and VR. As the name suggests, the VR3000 are very well suited to VR gaming because of the excellent positional audio. They are lightweight and the 1.2m cable and the behind-the-ear wire positioning helps keep them neat, tidy and out of the way of your motion controllers. Final Audio has gained a lot of appreciation from me over recent months. The EVA 2020 really convinced me that Final has a lot of show for, and their interesting library of products present a wide array of quality gear. A new Final model has now reached my desk, the VR3000. This is a set of earphones tailored toward gaming which you don’t see a lot of. Most game audio paraphernalia is catered to over-ear headphones with attachable mics and 3D audio. However, not everyone is going to gravitate towards over-ear, and most of the time they can end up being pricier than IEMs. The VR3000 wants to make your game audio simple and affordable, so let’s see how well they accomplish that. final has a plethora of audio products for specific use cases as we found out when we reviewed the final E4000. Not only did I love those due to the dynamic driver setup and premium MMCX fittings, it’s where I realised that not every IEM is made equal. final just seem to do things differently.One of the highlights of this sound signature, the mid-range offers some crisp details for a full spectrum of resonance. I mentioned how well dialogue comes across in the VR3000, and the mids do most of the job lifting vocal ranges with textural flavor and detailed flourishes. Sound effects bounce around the sound field with mid-band boosts and clarity. In our sound frequency test, the results were excellent. Bass was audible right down to 20 Hz, and although it began to diminish past 30 Hz, that’s a great result. Listening to a sweeping bass tone, there was no rattle or buzz that can manifest in poorly manufactured drivers. Treble was also clear without being piercing, and delivery was smooth right up to 15,000 Hz, which is the limit of my ageing eardrums.
