Final Audio UX3000
Bluetooth headphone with noise reduction
Japanese head-fi specialists Final Audio are mostly found in the high-end category when it comes to headphones and in-ear monitors. But one has to take their hat to them with the launch of the UX3000, their first wireless headphone with noise reduction. UX3000 is made by a company that has an incredible amount of experience in the development of headphones. And with a launch price of less than EUR 150, the first thing you have to ask yourself is how Final Audio has managed to make UX3000 for that price.
Final Audio UX3000 uses a newly developed hybrid noise reduction which affects the sound - which after all is the most important - to a lesser extent than with traditional solutions. So you can wear them on your next travel, when the neighbor is mowing the lawn or when you just want a quiet moment for yourself. And you do not have to fear that the audio quality will be greatly degraded. Since this is a headphone that will most often be used with a smartphone, it also has a built-in microphone so you can answer and make calls without having to remove them.
With the wide support of Bluetooth 5.0 codecs, you can be certain that you get the best possible connection to your phone, tablet or computer. SBC, AAC and AptX are supported, and if you are into gaming on your phone, the inclusion of aptX LL (Low Latency) will delight you. Final Audio UX3000 has a 700mAh battery on board, which provides up to 25 hours of music playback with noise reduction enabled, and up to 35 hours without. Should you run out of power, they can be connected directly to a source with cable.
If you are looking for an affordable wireless headphone with an unusually good price / quality ratio, then you shouldn’t sleep on this stroke of genius from Final Audio. Final Audio UX3000 is a lightweight construction and can be folded if you need to carry it in your bag.
