The AKG N700NC M2 also supports Samsungs Scalable Audio Codec but this is only applicable to Samsung phones. It is immediately obvious that our ears prick up with the AKG headphones when they simply don’t with the Final pair. For some reason, it’s the treble that seems to be the most vulnerable to compression and artificial timbre.

Armstrong’s vocal parts are more gravel than velvet, and UX3000 likewise puts his unique vocal textures front and center. As far as noise-cancellation goes, Final Audio’s determination to let the drivers do their thing without being corrupted by the influence of ANC circuitry is successful.On the left side there’s an ‘ANC on/off’ button just above a USB-C socket that’s purely for charging. The UX3000 can easily be transformed into a pair of wired headphones when the battery runs out by simply connecting the headphones to the source with the included audio cable.

It’s still quite powerful though, so it is probably going to satisfy those who seek a bit more kick to their sound. Their fidelity isn’t the greatest, but the highs showcase enough presence to make for engaging musicality. His specialities include all things mobile, headphones and speakers that he can't justifying spending money on.This also means that those sounds which aren’t usually reduced by ANC are affected by passive isolation and don’t stand out – a common issue with ANC headphones. Plus, their relatively modest size and weight makes them a realistic proposition for anyone that wants to listen in comfort. Soft vibrations emanate from the lows but do not pulsate, instead of reproducing a more natural output of frequency information while retaining light coloration. Should he find himself with a spare moment, Simon likes nothing more than publishing and then quickly deleting tweets about the state of the nation (in general), the state of Aston Villa (in particular) and the state of his partner's cat.

The ANC is separately turned on to the headphones powering on so both must be turned off when not in use. The pleather padding on the earcups is soft and quite comfortable, but our ears do heat up fairly quickly with them in place.There’s a good bite to the frequencies that appears consistently enjoyable to listeners who are looking for that type of texture. 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. They’re a mature, quite sophisticated and nicely balanced listen, they’re properly made and comfortable, and they’re not at all bad at cancelling noise either.
