Final have entered the gaming market with a budget earphone model aimed at VR enthusiasts. With excellent spatial accuracy across the soundstage along with an inline microphone, the VR3000 are sure to be a hit.

Fit and Comfort

The VR3000 have a lightweight yet solid feeling plastic housing similar in shape to their B series models. It has aesthetically pleasing angles on the faceplate whilst the inner surfaces are smooth and rounded which provides a comfortable fit. In addition to this, the angled nozzle and cable behind the ear make the VR3000 very comfortable for long listening and/or gaming sessions. Finally, the included tips from final work excellently in getting a good seal and confortable fit for those long listening / gaming sessions they were made for.

Compatibility

The VR3000 have a sensitivity rating of 101dB/mW and an impedance of 18 Ohms which results with them being easily driven from portable devices. Including mobile phones as well as games console controllers. Furthermore, the inline mic is essential for communicating with your squad*, whilst the inline volume controls work well whilst out and about.

Sound for Music & Gaming:

The VR3000 are aimed at Gamers and Final put a lot of work into making them sound absolutely stunning for this use. There is enough bass heft for explosions without being overpowering and the drivers are snappy and responsive. This really helps in action packed FPS games. Every shot fired is met with clarity and precision, as well as the sound of footsteps behind and explosions in front.

Simply put, the immersion when using the VR3000 is superb. They really put you in the middle of the action with pinpoint accuracy. Being mainly a BF V player, these really make you feel as if you are in the battlefield. With Planes flying overhead, bullets flying past you and even the ability to hear people sneak up behind you. Not only does this immersion give you a slight edge, it makes gaming all the more worthwhile. For an earphone, the VR3000 offer up an impressive gaming performance, no matter what game / genre you play.

The VR3000 fare well with music playback too, giving a broad frequency response from rumbling sub-bass to delicate highs. This means they are quite even handed overall, even though there is a slight boost in the sub-bass. There is also good clarity and much like their gaming performance, accuracy is key to their sound signature. Vocals sound real, without added body. Cymbals crash with finesse and instruments are easily separated. To conclude, the placement within the soundstage is very well defined and they are just enjoyable to listen to.

*Update to Mircrophone 2022*

*Since its initial release, the microphone in the VR3000 has been upgraded and silently rolled out by Final. The updated mic is crisp and clear, with an impressively wide range that feels like it represents your voice how it should sound. This is especially noticeable on phonecalls and in online game chats.
