Is there any flaw in the performance of ZE3000? In certain musical pieces one might feel that the volume is a bit low; this is because in TWS systems the digital to analog conversion chip controls also the noise, which in a typical DAC is done by a dedicated circuit. Final found that the chip they use is quite good, but for controlling the noise effectively, the volume should not be that high, as higher volume means audible noise, which distorts the overall sound. The soundstage is huge, both in width, height and depth, and the image is absolutely to the point. Also amazing is the separation and the dynamics. The Tanchjim Echo (review here) is probably the closest TWS earphone I have to the ZE3000 in terms of sound signature. Both of these earphones concentrate on audio quality over features with neither having ANC nor app support. Audiophile-grade performance is not to be expected for that kind of money, but such a price tag does demand a general set of features taken as a ‘quality of life’ minimum. These include some level of waterproofing, active noise cancellation, a pass-through or transparency mode, a comfortable design, a relatively balanced acoustic profile and maybe even a dedicated app. Now, it is well known that it is really difficult to make an audiophile TWS model; a company has to overcome a number of obstacles that mainly have to do with putting delicate electronics in an earbud housing and making sure that these electronics do not interfere with the earbud driver. On the other hand, Final engineers are known for challenging the impossible! Were they successful in this case? Let’s find out!

Comparisons vs Sony WF-1000XM4The Sony WF-1000XM4 are the flagship TWS IEMs from Sony and demand a significantly higher price tag than the Final ZE3000. The ZE3000’s built-in microphone sounds great. My voice comes through very clearly and with adequate volume and it does a decent job of filtering outside noise too. You can easily make phone calls or have video conferencing with these earphones. The triangular region beside the final logo on the faceplate acts as a touch-sensitive panel. Unfortunately, this panel is too “trigger-happy” and gets activated while trying to adjust the IEMs. sizes SS / S / M / L / LL of the Final newly designed “TYPE E Truly Wireless Exclusive Edition” eartips.The ZE3000 true wireless earbuds use a Qualcomm chipset and support Adaptive aptX HD and AAC audio ...

It’s taken a long time to come up with the ZE3000 because it wanted to be able to offer true hi-fi quality sound without wires. The engineers at final spent years researching various Bluetooth technologies but the limitations meant the sound quality was never good enough for final’s engineers.

Imaging is also pretty accurate. You can easily pin point the instruments. Thankfully, this focus pays off, with the Final ZE3000 delivering performance on par with some significantly more expensive earbuds. The first thing that’s noticeable is the exceptionally wide soundstage and the generally balanced profile – bass has a reasonably weight but never threatens to overshadow the treble or mid-range frequencies. Comparing TWS units is akin to comparing compact-sized sedans. There is a plethora of them, and the vast majority do things well. You want an appliance? Buy a Toyota Corolla or Prius (we own one, so...). You want luxury? Buy a Honda Civic. Sporty? Buy a VW Jetta or the Si version of the Civic. You get my point, I hope. Very competent technicalities.

The first challenge was that genuinely wireless earbuds took up a lot of space Considering final’s reputation for audio quality (and the price) I had big expectations for the ZE3000. I was not disappointed. The final ZE3000 sounds fantastic. It has a clean, pristine and spacious sound that’s among the best I’ve heard in this price range.

The design of the final ZE3000 may not look particularly comfortable but these earbuds sit well in ... [+] the ear and have been developed for comfort and sound quality. Final I had a problem with the Final A4000 IEM, fit-wise previously; but the ZE3000 has a slightly smaller housing, and as such fits well. I can still feel the edges after long sessions, but all of this is well within tolerances to me. To make matters worse, the cable is noodle-thin without strain relief, and with a fair bit of microphonics. Using the Final E3000 with a shirt-clip (not provided) or with the provided silicone ear hooks may lower the microphonics somewhat. Fit" by reducing the fit's actual physical sensation.

The sub-bass extension is good but the ultra-low notes are heard more than felt. The sub-bass and mid-bass have a good distinction between them and create various layers so you can clearly hear each separate element. The bass response here is mostly sub-bass focused, though the mid-bass punch is not overshadowed. The bass emphasis somewhat clouds the lower-midrange while adding heft to male vocals. Bass has good rumble, but the texture lags behind certain wired IEMs in this range. Furthermore, the new driver enables using different materials for the centre and surround to achieve the ideal hard centre & soft surround for the diaphragm. Using this final can achieve even greater clarity and accuracy. The mid-treble peak can give rise to sibilance in very rare cases (e.g., David Bowie’s Under Pressure) and adds a sense of “zing” to hi-hats and cymbals. I did not find the treble too offensive for the most part, but it’s something to take note of.
