As I mentioned in the intro, the final A3000 are, identical in design to that of the final VR3000. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Their angular design is quirky and modern, whilst not affecting the functional aspects of the product. Final adds some special components to the VR3000’s interior design that enhance the earphones for the interactive experience. Gaming headphones have a lot going on in them besides their driver systems, so it’s interesting how Final approaches that when dealing with an earphone. The VR3000 features an “f-Core DU,” which is a 6mm dynamic driver unit that uses a brass housing, making it less affected by magnetic force. IT uses a voice coil with an ultra-fine CCAW and assembled with minimal adhesive, reducing the weight of the parts. In terms of performance, this system also aims to improve the time response of the diaphragm. Then of course there is the attached remote, which adds three control buttons and a microphone for voice chat.

I was wrong in both! Just a few months ago, Final presented A4000 and A3000, two lower, actually way too lower, value IEMs than A8000. While, on April 26, 2021, Final launched SHICHIKU.KANGEN, which is the next big thing after A8000. Typically, SHICHIKU.KANGEN belongs to the Collaboration series, because it was developed in collaboration with the DITA Audio company; in reality though, it is of the same breed as A8000, at least in regard to its construction, and it costs almost 50% more than the latter. It’s a very clean design, with no visible branding anywhere to be seen on the exterior of the headphones. I’m happy that the L and R markings are more visible on the VR3000, however, once you’ve got used to the inverted design it’s already clear which earphone is which at a glance.

Sound effects and music are easy to localize, and certain sections of dialogue can feel like they are being spoken right to you. The bass has a ton of depth and focuses on solidity and tightness for improved clarity. Its design is one of the best you’ll see too, featuring a great build that feels like you’re wearing a piece of jewelry. I’ve had mixed results with in-canal headphones in the past, usually stemming from the wires constantly dragging on the headphones and pulling them loose, which breaks the seal and ruins the bass response. I had none of these problems with the VR3000, in part thanks to the ear hooks, but also because the design nestles between the tragus and antihelix of your ear (thanks, Google!) Once they were in place, they stayed there, and I wasn’t constantly adjusting or repositioning them as I often have to do with regular earbuds.
Customer reviews
VR3000 gaming earphones provide an immersive and open sound experience - ideal for exploring large open-world adventure games, and virtual reality environments with a concentrated sense of direction, perfect for wide open and engrossing gaming environments.
While over-ear headsets are available from loads of brands in hundreds of variants, in-ear gaming headsets designed specifically for VR and mobile gaming are few and far between. Final’s VR3000 are perfectly suited for mobile gaming, with a remarkably wide soundstage and great balance between frequencies. They aren’t as suitable for music, but for movies and games, they are a very capable pair of headphones. Most would be familiar with Final due to their immensely popular E-series of IEMs, dynamic-driver IEMs with rather pleasant tunings that have captured the hearts of many budget-level audiophiles. Less would be familiar with their B-series, even less with the Heaven series, and only the hardcore would recognise the extremely strange Piano Forte series, Sonorous series (formally “Pandora Hope”) and the “prototype” to the E-series, the Adagio.Soundstage wise, from an IEM is never going to give the widest, but it was pretty accurate sounding. Listening to orchestral music it was very possible to close eyes and get some instrument locations, which I am sure would translate well to giving you a sense of realism in VR. I tried these with some binaural recordings, and they gave a really excellent convincing effect. The A3000 are even more lightweight but thankfully they stay clear of straying into “cheap feeling” territory. These feel even more comfortable in my ear over longer listening sessions. If the truth be known though, that could just be marginal variance as the differences between it and the vR3000 are minimal as previously mentioned. Adding the hooks to the A3000 made them more stable and actually helped with a little noise isolation too. I’d recommend giving the hooks a go immediately to either count them in or out for your use case.
Throughout the driver balance test, which plays a full-range tone sweep that highlights any mismatch between the left and right drivers, there was no perceptible deviation throughout the whole range. This is probably the most negative part of my review, but I think everyone else's experience might be different.
What About the Design and Controls?
Each instrument can be identified in terms of their location and clearly distinguished. The directional sound is awesome also. The VR3000 does an amazing job at reproducing the sound in a videogame. Though the soundstage/quality is not as good as my reference Sennheiser 560s, they're still quite amazing and would choose to game with them over my pair of 598SEs any day. When I tested them in VR, as expected, they retain the same highly immersive audio and are quite comfortable/snuggly fit. Cable - The cable feels light and fragile but is in fact decently sturdy, it does connect via a 2-pin connector to the IEM so there is hopefully the chance for swapping it out. Another planar IEM that will suit game audio well is the 7Hz Timeless. These odd-looking IEMs have a similar texture to the Kato, but with more depth and better imaging. Sound effects will have a good punch to them, and environmental soundscapes will feel airier. If you can get past the odd shape of the housing, the Timeless is another great option for gaming. The A3000’s audio is provided courtesy of a 6mm f-Core DU dynamic driver. This appears to be the same driver as in the VR3000, however final specifically call our the f-Core DU moniker in their marketing for the A3000 only. Spec Sheet
The exterior box of A4000 and A3000 is nicely minimal and inside it the user will find, besides the IEM and cable: Audiophiles are often born from a love of music. But there’s so much more to it than that. Audio quality affects our experience nearly constantly. The movies we watch, the games we play, they all have an auditory experience that can be done right. Unfortunately it’s often done wrong. But we can right these wrongs. Final Audio’s VR3000 is an attempt to rectify an oft neglected part of our audio experience, gaming audio. In particular, virtual reality gaming audio, a fairly new frontier. The core technology of this frontier is Binaural Recording, an increasingly popular recording technique that mimics the way humans actually hear. It produces astonishingly lifelike recordings and Final Audio intends to provide you the best tool with which to experience these recordings. What You Get In the binaural headphone test, which is great for testing both individual sound separation and positional audio, the results were very impressive. Each individual voice in the harmony was clearly identified, and you can almost visualise the relative positioning of each singer. The same is true of the instruments, with the multiple acoustic guitars and percussion all occupying a separate place within the soundstage. I’m impressed despite these not being aimed at me at all. I’m not a huge gamer anymore, and it isn’t important for me to eke out every tactical advantage. At my age, I just want to play and enjoy the game. For those looking to up their game though, I believe the final VR3000 could provide that edge. Are they going to make you a tactical genius in Overwatch? Absolutely not. Those gentle footsteps or reloading sounds you might otherwise have missed might be a little clearer with the final VR3000 though. They are incredibly well balanced. The treble is Where this could be a bit better. Though the overall treble is ok and has enough details, in some cases the treble becomes a bit too loud.Final has done a lot of research and development to create a bespoke audio driver for the VR3000. The 6mm drivers were designed specifically for gaming, with the goal of providing a balanced audio profile and increasing spatial positioning. Another entry from Final Audio, the A4000 is clean and wide. The bass here is more natural but doesn’t skimp out on lifting all the sound effects to the right place. With the A4000, you get a good amount of separation between each section of the mix. It makes all the right punches, and should overall be a fun experience for games. The product is returned in original condition (with brand’s/manufacturer's box, MRP tag intact, user Overall the sound quality is great for gaming and very good for podcasts too due to the clear and precise highs. Don’t expect rumbling base, but you’ll hear the calvary coming in your favourite game all the same! The highs can be a little loose but they provide just what a gamer needs to hear something when other headphones/IEMs might fail and muddy with the mids. Not here. Final Thoughts Comfort - These are fairly comfortable but I think being ruined by using mostly Sennheiser IEMs, nothing can beat the comfort of those and I believe that anyone who has tried them before will state the same.
