Final ZE8000 Noise-Cancelling True Wireless Earphones

Flagship Truly Wireless Stereo Earbuds
Remastering Your Music Listening Experience with 8K SOUND
Through the journey of pursuing truly high-quality sound, by thoroughly exploring our creativity and innovation, and subsequently performing intensive R&D in audio, acoustic, psychoacoustic and material engineering, we came up, in 2017, with the Air Film Damping System (AFDS) planar magnetic flagship headphone model, the D8000, and we introduced, in 2019, the truly Pure Beryllium diaphragm-driven flagship In-Ear Monitor (IEM) model, the A8000. Both flagship models deliver the highest level of “Transparency" in music playback and have achieved a breakthrough in hi-fi audio, presenting a completely new perception of and experience in discovering music. The code “8000" became synonym to the milestones of final in our relentless pursuit of new and innovative ideas, challenging limits and realizing the impossible.

Now, in 2022, we proudly introduce another new model into our 8000 flagship lineup, the ZE8000. ZE8000 is a pair of Truly Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds that has been delicately designed in both its hardware and software so as to manifest the acoustic properties — what we call 8K SOUND — newly discovered by final. Utterly different from conventional sound design approaches, this brand new 8K SOUND technology exceeds the achievement of “Transparency", accomplished by D8000 and A8000, and delivers an unprecedented level of clarity, with the true identity of every bit of sound revealed in its full form, promising a whole new level of music enjoyment.

8K SOUND
In visual technology, the 8K UHD (Ultra-High Definition) standard utilizes 16× more pixels than the general standard to deliver 16× more information and allow smoother color gradient between pixels, resulting in crisper imaging, more natural color toning and smoother motion presentation.

Meanwhile, in audio technology, delivering all the information residing inside a musical piece with utmost accuracy has always been a great challenge. Due to the physical limitations of the equipment used, a lot of this information was left out. Methods used to address this problem vary from employing hardware of different shape, size and material to performing sound tuning focused to a particular frequency range, with all of these methods aiming to improve the overall clarity.

The 8K SOUND technology that has newly been developed by final offers an innovative breakthrough. Instead of focusing only on fine-tuning of particular frequencies, the time element of every single bit of sound is also carefully calibrated with digital signal processing. In doing so, all information residing inside a musical piece is distinctly revealed in its best quality and aesthetics. Overall, 8K SOUND delivers an exquisite sound experience at a level of distinction, detail, separation and speed that has never been accomplished before.

Division Design for Best Fitting
Many of the TWS systems on the market are designed to place all components into the concha area, which may result in a size that does not fit people with small ears. For ZE8000, we took a novel approach, by creating a dedicated ear-fitting division that is small enough to fit all ear conchas. Complemented by the newly designed dual-layered TYPE Q ear tips, ZE8000 stays fit into the concha by mainly utilizing the interlocking mechanism contributed by the round-shaped division and the ear concha. The part that lies into the ear canal has been designed to be softer, providing a comfortable fitting with a soft touch. Additionally, different from most typical TWS systems, where the hard surface of the housing is directly in contact with the ears, the dual-layered TYPE Q ear tips offer a soft silicone contact surface for supreme comfort.

Sound Quality Prioritized Active Noise Canceling
Turning on Active Noise Canceling (ANC) in many headphones and earphones degrades sound quality and makes users to feel oppression, stress and discomfort (particularly when no music is playing). To solve this problem, our engineers conducted numerous experiments with customized equipment and evaluations with actual humans. As a result, we succeeded in designing a noise-canceling algorithm that effectively eliminates ambient noise in the ear, creating a quiet environment ideal for listening to music, while remaining faithful to the original sound and enabling a stress-free listening experience. To enhance the accuracy and performance of the ANC algorithm, high-quality Knowles MEMS (Micro Electromechanical Systems) microphones are used.

Volume Step Optimizer
Volume is one of the most important factors affecting music listening experience. Due to the short distance between the eardrum and earphones, the latter are more sensitive to volume changes t
