Final VR3000 Gaming Earphones for Immersive Spacious Experience - Open World Adventure, Virtual Reality & Spatial Environments - In-Line Microphone and Controls - Black

Final vr3000 reviewI am a big fan of Final’s earbuds, having used a few pairs of their lower end models. I’ve always been impressed with build and sound quality, and definitely always found them a significant value prospect. This is the first pair that I have tried from their ‘gaming’ line, and I am equally impressed.Out of the box, they are a reasonably no-frills offering. A better-than-average soft-touch storage pouch, the standard final audio Velcro cable-tidy (I love this cable tidy) and various ear tips. I have pretty small ears (true story, I was once told by an audiologist “you’ve got really small ears you know, like... like a woman’s ears...”) but the stock tips fit absolutely fine on me. Fit-wise, the body of the earphones fits nicely into my ear and I have had no issues with hot-spots or discomfort over time. They are described by Final’s marketing team as “near customized fit”. Having used some custom IEMs in the past, I’m not sure quite how near they are getting, but for universal fit, they are pretty darn good. If you are somebody who likes to sleep with IEMs in, these are probably low profile enough that you’d be able to use the, for this. The matte black is also really slick-looking; they come across like a really well put together product.Also in the box were a set of ear hooks, designed for both comfort and to eliminate cable noise and microphonics. They were a *little* fiddly to attach to the cables, and I almost didn’t bother. The cable itself is really nice (which is good, as it is non-replaceable) and not particularly prone to microphonics anyway, but these being designed for gaming, it makes sense to eliminate distractions as much as possible. Once I did attach them, they actually work surprisingly well. The high frequency cable noise is eliminated almost entirely, and the rest dampened. Well worth taking the time to fiddle and get these attached when you receive these. There’s also a cable slider, however it gets stuck on the microphone dongle before it gets high enough to secure these around the back of your head (for monitoring etc.)Isolation on these is pretty unremarkable. Using them to drown out background Christmas carols was effective while music was playing, but there was a little bleed-through otherwise.Sound-wise, these are really pleasing. Final make a big play of these being tuned to gaming applications, which means they are aiming for soundstage and clarity. Clarity wise, they are really nice, top end is slightly exaggerated, giving some good spatial clues. This clarity in the top end also helps give a sense of sparkle, with those little clicks and pops of detail shining through nicely.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.They have a strong bass response, but not overblown. It goes nice and low, and there is enough of it, but it doesn’t feel overly emphasised. A track like “teardrop” by Massive Attack gives a really pleasurable bass hit. Obviously not as visceral as speakers, or even an over ear headphone, but the right controlled nature of the bass means it feels like it’s hitting that bit harder.Midrange is clean and I noticed no unpleasant dips or peaks in the response. Vocals are rendered cleanly and pleasantly. Listening to Joni Mitchell or Imogen Heap was a pleasure with these.The high end is also really nicely done with these. It definitely feels slightly treble heavy, which gives the sense of increased details. However, this does not appear to become fatiguing, for normal listening durations. For an IEM worn for gaming, this is a big plus, as it means they can be work for extended periods, with neither physical nor sonic fatigue.These are not the most expensive pair of headphones I have played with, and by no means the cheapest, but I really think they do hold their own. They look the part, feel comfortable, and sound really nice. Highly recommended.

I purchased these a while back and used them constantly for COD MW on PS4 attached to DS4 controller.My original headphones were Astro A50 Gen 4's which until a few COD updates ago were great.I decided to try the in-ear type aftyer reading several reviews and migrated towards the FINAL VR3000's.The main change for me was going from a bassy sound to a VERY trebly sound but I stuck with it and after just a few days, was usued to it and became the norm. I stuck with because I was BLOWN AWAY by the detail of the enviornment, footsteps etc so they are PERFECT for gaming except I haven't found anyway of adjusting the volume with the FINAL's (just adjust from PS4 settings)?My KD shot up within hours and I actually felt like a contender being more run and gun rather than sneaking about lol.Comfort wise generally fine but I play for over four or five hours regularly and have noticed the pointy edges of the casing starts annoying my ears a little (but only a little). The cord is a decent length and as said by most reviewers, the ear loops take a bit of getting used to but when muscle memory kicks in they go on in a jiffy.So am I still using them - Well not at the moment - Why? MW3 season 1 update GRRRRR has spoiled everything so I am back to the Astros tempoarily (personal EQ) until I can sort the settings for the FINALs.A point to mention is I tried them for MUSIC on my iPhone and my PC - One word TERRIBLE.Would I recommend - For gaming absolutely and would happily give them 9/10...point deducted for the pointy edge casing and the lack of volume adjustment when attached to the PS4 DS4 controller.

Bought these as I do VR and Fps gaming.They fit nicely and also have extra tips which is nice, the extra around ear hooks are soft. However they can be annoying to put on and they are not easy to close the ends, this is so they stay on which is a task in itself.Other than this the Audio is good and they do the trick and work good with Dolby so 4 stars from me due to the slight issue of the ear hooks which are better on then off

Was starting to find over head headphones annoying so wanted to look into some form of in ear headphones.. I knew In Ear Monitors would be more comfortable however they normally have smaller sound stages which is not ideal for gaming. After a bit of searching I was recommended these, the Final VR3000’s. These IEM’s were built specifically for gaming, being given a wider soundstage and less bass response.I’ve been using these for a little while now and can confidently recommend them. They produce a nice sound for gaming and, despite what some comments say, I find they still have a nice enough bass kick for music. They fit literally perfectly to the shape of my ear (may vary from person to person) and are comfortable enough to be used for hours at a time. One little thing I didn’t consider before purchasing is that, because IEM’s rely on the seal created by the tips, they come slightly loose when you smile or laugh. I think this could be fixed by switching to a different tip size (these are included).

Very comfortable earphones, I bought them to use with pubg mobile as they are advertised as gaming earphones. I was disappointed they were not as good as my soundmagic E11 earphones for gaming. I returned for a full refund which was felt with very quickly by Amazon. Thank you
