Japan’s Final has announced the release of two new pairs of wireless headphones. The UX1000 are wireless ANC headphones aimed at entry-level buyers and priced under £50. The second pair of headphones is the Final UX5000, which has a luxury finish and, according to Final, set a new standard in wireless sound and comfort.
The new UX1000 headphones provide hybrid ANC at an accessible price point with fatigue-free sound. As well as offering Hybrid Noise Cancellation, the headphones can play for up to 70 hours on a single charge.
Final has tuned the UX1000 with a focus on clarity and long-term listening comfort. By optimizing the acoustic performance of the driver itself and applying EQ only where needed to smooth subtle Bluetooth artefacts, the UX1000 have a deep and controlled bass and a well-defined treble.
Clean Presentation
Final says the result is a clean and natural presentation of music with effortless sound across all genres, whether that’s spoken word, acoustic recordings, dense electronic tracks or cinematic scores. Unlike some entry-level ANC headphones that can sacrifice sound quality to boost noise reduction, the UX1000 headphones use Final’s proprietary Hybrid ANC processing to maintain a more natural tuning.
Feedforward and feedback microphones in the headphones work together to reduce ambient noise in a wide range of environments, creating a calmer and more focused listening experience.
At the press of a button, an Ambient Mode can be invoked to allow surrounding sounds back into the mix, making it easier for the listener to stay aware of things like travel announcements or to hold a quick conversation without removing the headphones.
Up to 70 Hours of Wireless Playback
The UX1000 have a lightweight frame, soft padding and a fit that’s comfortable for long listening sessions. There is a choice of two finishes: Black and Greige (a blend of grey and beige). Final has added a durable matte coating to the headphones to keep them looking newer for longer. The surface also resists fingerprints, oils and surface wear. The headphones can be folded up to make them easier to stow in a bag or backpack.
Final has given the UX1000 with a battery designed around real-world use. A full charge can provide up to 70 hours of playback with ANC turned off. With ANC on, the figure drops to 40 hours, long enough for several weeks of commuting duties.
The UX1000 use Bluetooth 5.4 which supports Multi-point connections so listeners can be paired with up to two devices at once, enabling the user to switch seamlessly between music on one device and a call on a smartphone.
