ZE8000

Development of the ZE8000 MK2 has enabled the evolution of Final’s ‘8K Sound’ feature. Improving the signal-to-noise ratio through hardware and software interventions provides a clearer perception of ‘8K Sound’, extracting more detail and musical nuance from recordings.

The ZE8000 MK2 hardware and software improvements have provided fertile ground for a more efficient integration of ‘8K Sound’, ensuring a more faithful reproduction of recorded instruments and their unique timbre. This ability to faithfully and vividly reproduce the balance of recorded instruments extends to all music genres, elevating the listening experience by significantly increasing the amount of information in the sound.

Compared to the initial model, the ZE8000 MK2 achieves a 32% improvement in sound isolation with ANC active. This is achieved by a combination of internal structure enhancements, newly designed 'Shield Fin' earpieces, and a refinement of the algorithm for active noise cancellation.

8KL Sound
Utilizing an FIR filter for frequency and time domain corrections, combined with a unique integration of multiple digital signal processing techniques enables the achievement of high-definition and distortion-free ‘8K Sound’ In the ZE8000 MK2. Compared to the initial model, the digital signal processing has been refined, allowing for a clearer perception of ‘8K Sound’ even in finer details.

Updated 'Final Connect' App
After listening to feedback from the first release, Final has included the ability to deactivate ANC and all other noise control settings. This provides users with an unfiltered experience of the Final ZE8000 MK2 and ‘8K Sound’. The maximum volume has also been improved upon with a 5dB increase, as well as an overall redesign of Final’s ‘Volume Step Optimization’ feature within the ‘Final Connect’ app for finer volume adjustments.

Crystal Clear Calls
Two microphones simultaneously capture the user's voice and ambient sound, and the signals are calculated by the beamforming algorithm. ZE8000 effectively extracts only the user's voice, by calculating the time difference between the sound picked up by both microphones, resulting in a clear call.

Improved Comfort and Fit
With the ZE8000 MK2, Final has included newly designed ‘shield fin’ ear tips. These tips come in a wide range of sizes and offer an increase in passive isolation as well as a more comfortable and secure fit. This increase in isolation benefits the sound quality due to a reduction in ambient noise and improved seal provided by the ‘shield fin’ technology and silicone material used.

High-Resolution
The ZE8000 MK2 supports Qualcomm's latest audio platform, Snapdragon Sound™. With aptX Adaptive (24bit/96kHz), users can enjoy high-resolution audio with high quality and low latency. By strategically placing two high-performance microphones at a distance, the ZE8000 MK2 enables beamforming towards the mouth. This feature ensures clear voice transmission, eliminating ambient noise even during outdoor calls.

Dedicated Mobile App
By installing the dedicated mobile application 'final CONNECT' on a device paired with ZE8000, many functions, unique to ZE8000, such as checking the battery level of the earbuds, switching modes, activating 8K sound and more are enabled in addition to basic functions.
