Excellent!
In 2025, I took a look at a pair of in-ear headphones by Final, the ZE500 for ASMR. I was genuinely impressed by what they had to offer in terms of sound quality and value for money.
Ultimately, though, they didn’t end up becoming my daily drivers due to the relatively poor battery life and preferring more traditional over-ear headphones. Enter the UX3000SV, a pair of Bluetooth headphones from Final that seeks to remedy every issue I had with the ZE500s.
First and foremost is the form-factor; the UX3000SV is a traditional over-ear pair of headphones with a single padded support band. I found them very comfortable to wear, not experiencing any discomfort around my head or ears, even when using them for prolonged periods of time, a problem I’ve had with over-the-ear headphones in the past.
The length of the top band is adjustable on both sides by around 30mm, and the ear cups themselves have 90 degrees of horizontal rotation and around 20 degrees of vertical rotation. This ensures that they are a comfortable fit for just about anyone.
All the surfaces that contact skin are finished in a very soft material that’s rather pleasant to the touch. Everything else on the UX3000SV is a solid plastic material in what Final calls a ‘Premium Shibo finish’. This is a coating that is resistant to dirt and fingerprints and has a texture similar to sandblasted metal. Build quality in general is high; they feel relatively premium in the hands and on the head, without feeling especially fragile around any of the joints, where you’d expect headphones to typically fail.
In terms of connectivity, the UX3000SV is wireless, connecting to up to two devices at a time via Bluetooth. The pairing process was simple, automatically going into pairing mode when no paired devices can be found when powered on, and simply by holding a button otherwise. They can also be connected via cable, with a 3.5mm jack, with a short cable being included in the box. Power is provided via USB-C cable, with the charging time being two to three hours to fully charge from dead. The Final website states that a USB-C cable is included with the headphones, however, the unit I received didn’t seem to have one in the box.
Each headphone cup has a small array of physical controls, foregoing the trend of capacitive buttons, which makes adjusting volume, etc., very simple by touch alone. The right ear has power and separate volume up and down buttons, as well as the AUX port, with the left ear having an ANC control and the USB-C port.
ANC is one of the things I didn’t really think I needed until I had it, this being the first pair of headphones I’ve used with it. By holding the button down for a short time, the effect can be enabled and disabled at will, even when the headphones are powered off. This allows them to be used for pure noise cancellation. It does a terrific job of eradicating excess noise from the area by utilising several microphones to identify and cancel out any unwanted audio.
The only downside to using ANC is that it has a significant effect on battery life. Without it enabled, the UX3000SV has around 35 hours of life; this is reduced by roughly a third with it enabled. Still, this is a huge improvement when compared to the ZE500’s that I looked at in 2025.
Sound quality continues to be a high priority for Final, with the UX3000SV being exceptional in this regard. Voices are incredibly clear, making it perfect for audiobooks and phone calls, and vocals cut through when listening to music. Bass response is more than adequate with a frequency range that begins at 20Hz, right up to 20KHz.
Final Thoughts?
I was very impressed with the Final UX3000SV headphones. They’re comfortable and lightweight, have exceptional sound quality, and feature sturdy and robust build quality, with, perhaps most importantly, good battery life.
At £129.99/$169.99, they’re not exactly a cheap set of headphones, but the quality of both sound and build goes a long way to justify the price.
If you’re in the market for a mid to high-end set of over-ear headphones, the Final UX3000SVs are well worth considering.
