Specialist Japanese audio brand Final has announced the launch of its UX3000 SV. These headphones are the latest addition to Final’s growing lineup of wireless headphones that build on the success of the original UX3000 model. The new SV edition offers enhanced clarity and voice-optimized tuning but with the same minimal design that made the first version of the headphones a success.
The original UX3000 headphones were first introduced in 2022 and combined excellent sound with a lightweight and foldable design suitable for traveling. The new UX3000 SV has much of the same DNA as its predecessor, but its internal architecture has been improved in terms of soundstage, greater vocal separation and more precise active noise cancellation.
Final sound
Unlike conventional noise-canceling headphones that can sacrifice sound for suppression, the UX3000 SV headphones have been built to ensure sound quality is prioritized. Using Final’s proprietary hybrid ANC algorithm, the UX3000 SV has dual microphones located inside and outside the earcups. The microphones analyze ambient sound which is then canceled out. According to Final, the result is immersive isolation without disrupting the integrity of the original audio quality.
Final has focused on vocal clarity and spatial accuracy with the UX3000 SV. Whether it’s a stripped-back acoustic set or a full cinematic score, Final says the UX3000 SV can extract vocal nuance and instrumental tone with striking precision.
Crafted in Japan
At the heart of the UX3000 SV are custom 40mm dynamic drivers, developed by Final. The drivers are housed in an acoustic chamber that is purpose-built to optimize human voice reproduction so it’s suited to vocals, podcasts, audiobooks and expressive music.
With support for high-quality Bluetooth audio, the UX3000 SV supports aptX and aptX HD codecs. Alongside the support for Qualcomm’s advanced codecs, the UX3000 SV uses Final’s hybrid noise cancellation system. The system has been tuned with audio fidelity in mind so the music remains vibrant, open and distortion-free, even with ANC switched on.
Users can also enable a Noise-Cancellation-Only Mode, which activates ANC without powering on the audio system. This makes the headphones suitable for blocking out sounds like aircraft engines without having to listen to music.
All-Day Battery
The battery built into the UX3000 SV offers up to 35 hours of playback with ANC turned off. With ANC on, the figure drops to 25 hours and a full charge takes around 2.5 hours. Meanwhile, Bluetooth 5.0 provides stable connection and support for Multipoint pairing that enables users to be connected to two different devices at the same time, making it possible to switch between, say, a laptop and a phone.
Finished with a minimalist Shibo-textured silver, the UX3000 SV has an ergonomic and foldable design that is resistant to fingerprints, making it durable as well as stylish.
