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

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.

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.

The first thing worth pointing out is the Final VR2000 earphones are the latest version following on from the popular and well reviewed VR3000 earphones. Given the numbering this isn’t immediately clear and I only found out after looking at reviews. Like their predecessor, the focus is very much on gaming with a particular focus on being able to hear things like footsteps and importantly their position in a 360 virtual reality environment. This has worked really well and improves the gaming experience. The payoff is they are not particularly strong in the bass department, so if listening to a lot of music rather than gaming, these are probably not the right product. I am using the earphones with a Meta Quest 3, they are a perfect match with the cable length just about right. I run the cable along the right hand side of the headset so it can drop directly down at the back. The earphones are a very pleasing dark olive green, the design is stylish and they are surprisingly light which means you can wear them for extended periods in comfort. They come with a variety of earbuds so getting the perfect fit is an easy process. Little rubber hooks to go over the ear are also included. They help position the cable which they recommend going over the top of your ears rather than dangling straight down. I would highly recommend using this option as it helps keep them in position and adds to the comfort. Overall I’m really impressed, these are great gaming earphones and particularly come into their own when gaming in a virtual reality. Recommended!

These stereo earbuds are basically ok and sound decent enough but there are better options available for a bit more money (soundmagic E11C for example). They are cheaply made, largely of plastic, but seem robust enough for the job if handled carefully. There's not much bass extension which is to be expected given the size of the buds, but decent enough mid range and treble. Stereo imaging and instrument separation is ok but not startling. One review I've read of these implied they were capable of such good imaging and placement that you could work out exactly where sounds came from. I didn't find that to be true for music, yet using good quality open backed headphones on the same music does give that impression. Overall, they are ok for the price, the tip selection is good but I can't see any particular reason they would be good for gaming.

A great set of headphones. Mostly been listening to music on them so far and the sound is great but really with these headphones I'm interested in the "Immersive 3D Live Sound" bit. I was intrigued by this maybe even a little sceptical but it's just magic. I watched a few 3D videos and (if the audio for the video is set up for it) it's pretty amazing, you can close your eyes and know where everything is in the room, it's really immersive. Looking forward to using these some more. They come with a few different size tips, which is pretty standard these days but also a little pouch which is handy and some little rubber ear hooks which are a little fiddly to fit but I think worth it. Good build, good sound, good price

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.

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!

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).
