VR3000

Final vr3000 review I 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.

Great sound as expected from Final Audio but just couldn't get them to stay in comfortably. If you have tips that work for you then these are a no brainer.

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).

I've held off writing this review as I wanted some good solid months of use. I purchased these in December 21 after becoming very sick of trying to get used to canned headphones (Sony MDRs). So after much googling, it was these that sounded like the best bet, and I was correct. I'm not even in the same realm as being an audiophile, but I am a gamer who's used multiple earbuds and headphones over the years and these are the best i've ever had. I've always been used to lots of treble, lack of bass and overall a more tinny experience. But these are just like wearing my MDRs but without the incessant head clamping and hotness on my head. For whatever reason, today I decided to dust off my MDRs to see if they would be comfy, and no they weren't. I was interested in seeing the sound quality between these headphones and my old MDRs and with a bassy-voiced NPC in my game ready to be spoken to I initiated the test. MDRs obviously produced an amazing bass response while this NPC character was talking, then I switched out jacks to these Final-headphones and honestly, the difference was not that different! I was very surprised. I was happy to yet again, box away the MDRs and enjoy the comfort of these earbuds. If you're like me who's an avid gamer, avid discord'er and hate being headclamped by over ear headphones - look no further as these are the earbuds for you. Plus they're basic looking, no GAMURRR design aesthetics, just pure function. The ear clips take a bit of getting used to, but you soon get the muscle memory down with the rear ear hooking. Thanks guys, happy to have my audio solution sorted and it's been a great ride for all these months and here's to many more! UPDATE: 24th May 2025, the right ear-bud started to cut out from being loose, and eventually gave up entirely without being 'jiggled' to get a response. Devastated but not in anyway annoyed as these have been a daily workhorse from the moment of buying them. My spare-old earbuds (3 types) all sounded GHASTLY compared to these. Even commandeering my partner's HyperX headset wasn't a replacement for the soundscape I've come to love all these years. Re-ordered and ready for a few more years of fun!

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

For the price of 70 euros, the VR3000s are quite a steal! If you're looking for a great pair of earphones for gaming, I would recommend these to anyone! Below I am just going to list the parts of these that are particularly important to me! Sound: In General, when it comes to sound, people think music and you have to remember, these were designed to deliver the best experience for videogames and not music. That being said, there were a few songs that really kicked ass when using these, Waltz by Mother Falcon being a personal favourite. If you are a fan of orchestral/symphonic music then these would be a great choice, especially if you are a commuter and need to block out unnecessary external noise. Tuning - Overall, the tuning of these is quite flat which is honestly great for videogames. Comparing them to my pairs of headphones they are most similar to the Sennheiser 560s (my number one choice for gaming). Imaging - Quite amazing, what Final Audio describes on their website is honestly pretty damn accurate, the directional hearing of these is brilliant. Soundstage - One word... BIG! The soundstage of these is ridiculously huge when you consider that they are in ears. Combining this with the top-notch imaging you can tell exactly where someone is in a competitive shooter or give you a realistic-sounding environment when using virtual reality. Build Quality & Comfort: This is probably the most negative part of my review, but I think everyone else's experience might be different. 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. IEM Body - The shape and structure of the IEM itself is ergonomic but I think for my ear there is a corner that could be removed and these would fit much better. They also made it as light as possible as gamers tend to wear them for long periods of time with little or no breaks, this is actually quite nice. 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. And Finally.... Video Games: Final Audio set out to do one thing, make the best possible IEM for gaming and I think they did just that. Aside from a few things like having a sturdier cable/different housing shape, these are pretty much the best in-ears you'll ever find for gaming in the current market. I have been playing games on a competitive level for most of my life at this point, in a range of genres. I started with RTS games originally and then moved on to Mobas and now I am currently invested in Battle Royales, particularly Apex Legends. I work full time and thus cannot do as many tournaments/ranked as I normally would like but still somehow managed to have about 3,500 hours at this point. Soundstage | Good or Bad? For competitive shooters, obviously directional hearing (imaging) is a must-have and there is a lot of controversy over stage size when it comes to these kinds of shooters. Small - There is the benefit of hearing everything, including something you might miss otherwise. I could see how this is good for some cases as you will know if there is a rat hiding nearby, where shots come from, etc. But honestly, this is quite awful when trying to pinpoint distance when you whip around or are trying to determine what floor they are on. Big - When you have a bigger soundstage this adds another level of detail when in a shooter. You are fully immersed in an environment that you can hear as you normally would. There have been countless times when I have determined where an enemy team is that my teammates have not been able to, are they on the other side of the mountains, what floor they're on, are they in the building or behind it. I am sure if you gave any professional player the option of using headphones/earphones with a large soundstage and good imaging they would pick it 100% of the time. (Imagine having a 3D map in your head) 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. The End No matter how much praise I can give these, for 70 bucks, you won't find another product remotely as good for video games. There is a huge trend going on with streamers using in-ears for gaming and I hope that they read this and try this pair of earphones, they're truly amazing. I will end the review here with a final statement and hope that I at least convinced one person to give these a try. Imagine taking a studio-tuned pair of open-back headphones and cram that into an IEM and that is what you will get with the VR3000.

For those having comfort/pain issues, I had the same problem initially. Then I realized I was wearing them incorrectly. Best advice I have is to make sure you're applying them from behind your ear (the wire should fall from the back, not the front of your ear) and then inserting them at an angle, ear bud first. After I did that, I had zero discomfort issues. Overall, great price for the level of quality and clarity.

Très surpris par la qualité sonore, et la précision des sons en jeu, utilisé pour des fps tel que Escape from Tarkov, j'arrive plus facilement à identifier où les ennemis se trouvent, j'utilise aussi un Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro et j'ai plus du mal pour identifier la position des ennemis qu'avec le Final VR3000. Egalement très confortable et léger. Vraiment à conseiller

I usually use a 40 dollar pair of a mainstream ear buds with extra bass, which sound great. But the bass can sometimes drown out the fine details like foot steps due to gunfire being so instense. But directional awareness wasn’t as good. I tried a 200 dollar pair off Amazon and although they sounded good there was no bass so gunshots sound like pea shooters. I tried these last and I’m very impressed with the quality. I namely only play COD on x box and prefer ear buds over a large headset. These have good situational awareness and the right level of bass which is noticeable especially with hit markers or when taking damage. Volume is consistent and the fit in the ear is outstanding, spiralling Into a locking position in the ear canal. Price point is good as I’d have been willing to pay even more for the quality I received in these gaming ear buds. Haven’t tried on other games but if you’re a COD player - buy them

Excelentes para jugar, juego apex legends y se escuchas bastante las pizadas y se escucha claro el posicionamiento del enemigo, solo un pequeño fallo, los audifonos son un poco grandes, tengo orejas grandes y aun asi me quedan un poco justos
