Final x Dragon Ball Z Frieza: First impressions

Taking them out of the packaging box for the first time, it becomes clear just how small these earphones are. Both the earbuds and case are very slim. The charging case is the perfect shape to not be felt in your pocket. It provides an extra 15 hours of battery per charge to the earphones. Although not the longest, the shape and size of it is worth the compromise in my opinion.

The hinge on the case is again rigid and durable. You can even open and close the lid on the case singlehandedly with ease. The case is also smooth and stylish. The colourscape is a bit simpler than the Goku/ Vegeta versions, but the purple gives off enough Frieza vibes to know what it is representing and it really has an elegant aura to it overall.

Just like in my previous review, putting the buds in your ears for the first time is a great experience, especially if you watched Dragon Ball Z in Japanese with subtitles! More on the voice commands below.

The earphone body is also the smallest and lightest in this series of earphones. Weighing about 3.5g per earphone. They are so light and comfortable that you forget you’re wearing them. They fit perfectly in the ear canal and there is nothing protruding out. So even if you lay on your ear with them in, you won’t feel any pressure or a feeling of a foreign object. The size and shape make it an excellent earphone for sleeping too (if that is your thing!).

The original Japanese voiceover brings you straight into the action!

Voice Guidance Prompts for the Frieza Model

The voice prompts are very fun and make it a joy to turn them on and put them in your ears. Here is a low down of them below. I have written the Japanese in English so you can phonetically read them (what text cannot do is convey the emotion in the lines, but that is why you have these earphones, right?)

• When the earphones are turned on: Matte Imashitayo – I’ve been waiting for you. – No idea, but it sounds nasty and is a brilliant hello.
• When it is turned off: Chi…Chikisho!!!! CHIKUSHOOO!!!! – Blast him, Blast him to infinity. – I think this is when he blasts Krillin out of the lake, but it could also be when he rips through Vegeta, or something else entirely. Any leads?
• When pairing mode is activated : Kakugo wa yoroshii desune… – Prepare yourself for death! – Part of Frieza’s angry monologue as he prepares to face Vegeta, Gohan, Krillin, and Dende.
• When pairing is successful: Watashitomo aroumonoga dokidoki shite kimashita – Even my heart is pounding. – I cannot find this for the life of me, it must be something between Frieza and Goku during their first epic fight.
• When pairing is complete and you can now use the earphones: Watashi no sentoryoku wa Gojusamman desu – My battle strength is 530,000. – Says first form Freiza before he wrecks Vegeta, Gohan and Krillin.
• When pairing has been disconnected: Zettai ni yurusanzo mushikera domo!!!! You worms, I’ll never forgive you. – Another line from Frieza’s angry monologue as he prepares to face Vegeta, Gohan, Krillin, and Dende.

Packaging

The packaging is a picture of Frieza in front of his spaceship, looking as menacing as always. The print is vibrant and the box itself is one that you will always want to keep.

Sound

The sound quality really is superb, considering the size of these buds. The focus on ASMR / Voice is easily noticeable as soon as you put on a film or anime. There is a surprising amount of detail offered with these buds (only 3.5 grams each!). Vocals are crisp and well presented, with both male and female sounding excellent. Voice actors’ emotions are clearly conveyed. You really get that sense of distance between the characters when they talk with each other and they really help you immerse yourself in the world you are watching (or playing).

That Final ariness is also there. The Soundstage is absolutely huge for such a little device. Overall this is a great product for any DBZ fan or people who have small ears / want small earphones. They are great for watching shows/ movies/ Anime, playing games, listening to music, audiobooks and of course any ASMR content you fancy.

They sound realistic and natural and easily capture emotion in voice however it is spoken or sung

Battery life & Comfort/Fit

The battery life really is the only slight downside to these earbuds. They last between 4-5 hours on one charge and can be recharged 3 times from the case giving you a maximum 20 hours total playback. That does not bother me too much as it is plenty of time and thankfully way longer than my daily commute. However, when on an anime binge, 1 charge equates to about 15 episodes tops. Not necessarily a bad either thing mind you, as it is good to walk about and take a break every now and again!

For me, the comfort is unbelievable and these earphones have quickly become my daily choice. The case fits perfectly in your pocket and the earbuds . Playing with the eartips and choosing the bigger size created even more comfort. At this moment in time, there is no earphone in my repertoire that is as comfortable and as enjoyable as my little purple Frieza’s.

Fit and Comfort

The Lypertek PurePlay Z7 is a little larger than the SoundFree S20 and the PurePlay Z3 2.0 due to the increase in driver quantity. But they have an ergonomic shape which means they fit securely even if they do stick out a little more than normal (worth it for the sound quality!).

Comfort is good. The earphones are nice and lightweight which helps along with a good selection of tips included. Meaning most people will find a set that fits well and provide a good seal in the ear.

Features

The PurePlay Z7 offer up an excellent 10hrs battery life per charge and the case provides 7 full charges. This gives 80hrs in total which is market leading by industry standards. They also have a quick charge function that will give you 2hrs of play time from just 15 minutes of charging.

The PurePlay Z7 offer up an excellent 10hrs battery life per charge and the case provides 7 full charges

They have 3 drivers, 1 dynamic along with 2 Balanced Armatures. Are IPX5 rated which isn’t quite as good as the PurePlay Z3 2.0 but should still be more than enough for most users. There is a physical button on ear earphone which allows you to control playback along with the voice passthrough, (This mode allows you to hear your surroundings without removing the earphones). The buttons are easy to use and less likely to be accidentally pressed unlike touch buttons.

PureControl App

The Z7 are fully compatible with the Lypertek PureControl app. This app allows you to control the EQ, change the button functions and voice pass through, amongst other things. This app is a really handy partner to the Z7 and offers up a lot of flexibility and allows you to really fine tune the sound to your personal tastes.

The app is a really handy partner to the Z7. It offers up a lot of flexibility and allows you to really fine tune the sound to your personal tastes.

On the subject of tuning the sound, Lypertek have developed a sound pre-set in their app called LDX mode (Lypertek Definition Expander). Switching this on in the app instantly changes the sound profile to one that is more engaging, exciting and spacious. There is a little bump in the bass quantity but the sound overall becomes more fun and dynamic with a wider and more open soundstage. This is definitely worth trying out. I can see a lot of people using this mode to bring out a little more fun in the Z7.

A note about ANC..

Lypertek have not gone down the ANC route with the Z7 which is slowly becomming the expected standard. They do however have excellent passive noise isolation, so they cut you off from your surroundings very effectively. To try and shoehorn ANC into these would jeopardise the sound quality which is honestly the crown jewel of these beauties. It is a bold decision but Lypertek have invested where it matters, the sound. And the resulting earphone is something a bit magic.

The PurePlay Z7 case supports wireless charging too and Lypertek have released a super slim charging pad to go with it. The charging pad is super sleek and is a perfect partner for these earphones. All in all the Z7 has a lot of useful features pakced in. But it must be said the biggest focus is on audio quality(more below). The addition of the AptX Adaptive codec is welcome too and really makes a difference.

Sound

The Pureplay Z7 is a really good all rounder

Bass:

Lypertek are using a single dynamic driver for the low end and it is tuned really well. Having just the right amount of punch, body and extension to always be there and audible, but not enough to make them sound dark or bloated. There is really good extension when called for, yet they retain a controlled and smooth presentation. The midbass has moderate kick, not enough to really please those who want a more engaging sound, but enough to sound realistic and audible. The EQ in the app will help those who want more.

Midrange:

The midrange sits where it should. Whilst the Z3 and S20 have perhaps a slightly recessed midrange, the Z7 has a more balanced and neutral approach. While there is a little added body down low, it doesn’t really have too much of an impact on the midrange. Male vocals sound a touch warmer than a strictly neutral monitor. However they have great tonality and a smooth yet balanced presentation that just makes them enjoyable to listen to for hours on end. They won’t throw every little nuance at you. But they sound effortless and realistic which to me is a great quality in a portable earphone. The upper midrange is devoid of any fatiguing peaks. There is a smooth transition to the lower treble yet female vocals still cut through with great clarity and authority.

Treble:

The treble is very refined and not overdone. It is detailed and has good extension but it is not upfront in the mix. They are perhaps a tiny bit subdued for my personal taste, but this means that more people will enjoy the smooth presentation. This is also easily tuneable in the app to be honest, and you can dial in more or less depending on your preference. But the stock sound out of the box is quite smooth and safe yet still present and enjoyable. They are not exciting and do lack a little energy, but this will also vary depending on what music you listen to.

Genres and Soundstaging

The Z7 are a really good all rounder. They do have quite a smooth and refined sound that lend their hand to slower genres. Acoustic and softer alternative rock sounds excellent due to the natural midrange. However turning on LDX mode does make the Z7 a little more exciting and dynamic. This is a must if you listen to more upbeat genres like pop/hip-hop.

Soundstaging is quite impressive with good width and air. The separation is also very impressive with plenty of air between layers. Yet it all comes across in a very coherent manner.

Who is it for?

• People looking for the best sound quality in a true wireless earphone for an exceptional price
• Those who want superior sound without sacrificing battery life
• People who like to tweak the sound to their personal preference

Fit and Comfort 9/10

The Lypertek PurePlay Z5 have quite a different design to previous Lypertek models. They have a rounded body and a stem which greatly improves ANC effectiveness along with mic placement for calls. This design also works really well in terms of fit. Even for smaller ears they are easy to put in and get a solid, secure fit for everyday use.

These are really comfortable & super easy to wear for long listening sessions

Comfort wise, once you find the right eartips (and there are plenty included to choose from) they are easy to wear for long listening sessions. This is not only due to the smooth housings but the light weight of the earpieces as well. There are no issues wearing these for a few hours at a time. The Z5 is also an optionl for light sports use due to their comfy and secure fit.

ANC 9/10

The ANC is a huge new feature for Lypertek, and one that works very well. When using these in areas with a constant stream of noise (such as sitting on a train) they do a great job to drown it out. It is easy to toggle on and off with the touch controls or via the app. Lypertek have absolutely nailed it with the Z5.

Purecontrol ANC App 10/10

The app is fantastic and easy to use. It allows the user to also fine tune the earphones to their tastes. With EQ curves (including custom ones), ANC on/off and also an Ambient mode which allows outside noise to be heard. LDX (Lypertek Definition eXpander) mode is also supported on the Z5. It has a dedicated button within the app to turn it on and it works well to enhance the space, depth and clarity of the sound. An absolute must try!

Mic 9/10

The stem is perfect for better microphone placement than normal true wireless designs. Resulting with the call quality on the Z5 being truly excellent. At home or out and about, the other person will hear your voice with great tone and clarity. It goes without saying these are some of the best we have tried when it comes to call quality.

It goes without saying these are some of the best we have tried when it comes to call quality.

Auto Ambient Mode 10/10

Simply one of the best features from the App. This turns ambient mode on automatically when you pause music & is such a handy feature to have. It means you don’t have to take the Z5’s out of your ears to hear people or announcements.

Sound 10/10

The below assessment is with all sound enhancements turned off. You can easily tune the PurePlay Z5 to your tastes with EQ. Not forgetting that the LDX mode is a great one click boost for those wanting and more spacious and engaging sound.

Bass: The perfect amount for out and about listeners in my opinion. These are punchy and fun whilst retaining good body and control. The bass is well controlled and keeps up with complex mixes with ease

Midrange: Open, spacious and natural, the midrange is portrayed in excellent fashion on the Z5’s never sounding drowned out or pushed too far back in the mix. Vocals manage to cut through the mix with great clarity and presence without sounding peaky or harsh.

Treble: Well extended yet not overly hot or in your face. The transition from the upper midrange in to the lower treble is well controlled without any unwanted sibilance. Yet there is still good energy in the lower treble to stop them from sounding dull or dark.

Instrument separation is really impressive, especially for a true wireless model.

Soundstaging and Instrument Separation

There is a good amount of air around instruments and good layering overall. They might not throw out the widest of soundstages but they manage to sound quite airy and open. Instrument separation is really impressive, especially for a true wireless model. these sound very controlled and well separated even when listening to complex music tracks.

https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/lypertek-pureplay-z5-anc

The post Trusted Reviews take on the Lypertek Z5 appeared first on HiFiheadphones.

Design: 10/10

The Final ZE3000 true wireless has an angular design that looks stylish and stands out. The overall look eschews quality. They also come with an interesting finish on the buds and case known as “Shibo”. “Shibo” means crease on paper or leather in Japanese and is used on many cameras. This textured finish is also a great deterrent against fingerprints and other marks.

As expected from final, the build quality is fantastic. The hinges of the case and the USB-C connector are rigid and durable. you can even open and close the lid on the case singlehandedly. The case is very compact, therefore easy to carry around or keep in your pocket. Overall, the ZE3000 feels as unique as it looks and clearly sets itself apart from other earphones in the £120 price range.

Fit and Comfort: 9/10

Final has designed the earphone not to fully enter the canal, but to sit comfortably at the entrance. The comfort is excellent, you really do forget you have them in sometimes, they might not be the smallest earphone out there but the shape and weight does mean they are comfortable to wear for hours on end. They are also good to use for the gym and manage to stay firmly in place and comfortable in your ear, even during intense workouts. 

Final E eartips are some of the best in class and widely used by other brands for their earphones. Their TWS E-tips are no exception to this rule of thumb.

Features: 7/10

The ZE3000 do not have ANC or any other the other bells and whistles that come with wireless earphones these days. Instead Final have decided to focus on the audio quality and should be praised for this. Battery life is fairly normal at 7hrs continuous playback, along with an extra 28hrs from the case. More than enough to not be constantly charging them.

The ZE3000 use Bluetooth 5.2 (QCC3040 chip) and support ABC, AAC, aptX and aptX Adaptive. This means you will get the best sound out of these if your device is aptX Adaptive compatible. But even normal aptX is still a step above AAC. The microphone quality is excellent and is perfect for taking calls at home or on the go.

Sound 10/10

Final have focussed on the sound aspect of the ZE3000, giving them a natural yet fatigue free sound signature. The bass is great. It is tight and digs deep when called for but it never sounds like the main focus of the sound. It isn’t bloated or up-front, instead it is happy to just do its thing without drawing attention to itself.

The midrange is also really impressive. It sounds realistic and natural without being pushed forwards. There is loads of detail on offer. Vocals are crisp and well presented, with both male and female sounding excellent. Electric guitars have plenty of crunch, yet acoustics sound subtle and full. They also never sound congested with great layering and space between instruments.

These won’t suit the bassheads out there, but for average everyday listening these are brilliant.

The treble is smooth with that signature Final airiness that brings out a sense of space in recordings that many earphones fail to capture. They are very resolving for such a budget earphone. They extract tons of detail and are very well placed within the soundstage.

Instrument Separation and Soundstaging

The ZE3000 manage to remain well separated and airy throughout. This means they can handle anything you throw at them and still remain open sounding with excellent separation and layering. It is easy to pick out single parts in mixes whilst sounding completely coherent overall.

The soundstaging is really impressive for the price and throws out a broad image that is accurate and realistic. It is wider than many of the more consumer models out there and the airiness in the treble range really helps to add a sense of air to the sound.

As mentioned above, Lypertek has incorporated a triple hybrid driver configuration for the PurePlay Z7. With two specially designed balanced armature drivers and one titanium coated dynamic driver inside each housing. This new driver arrangement offers the dynamic range needed to achieve the PurePlay Z7’s superior sound quality. Delivering powerful and well controlled bass, midrange that provides a rich clarity to vocals and clear and expansive highs for an overall unique true wireless listening experience.

Let’s get onto the reviews then. Ear-fidelitys analysis is based on a months solid use of Pureplay Z7. They conclude: “What I like about Lypertek Z7s is that they are a product that has a lot of thought put into it. For me, they have all what a TWS at this price range should have. They are well built and are waterproof. There is a lot of nice and useful tech under the hood. The stock sound is nice, but it can be tweaked to be amazing. There is a lot of potential in the drivers used. Also, they last on their battery for so long you might forget that they need charging as I did.” Read their whole analysis here: Lypertek Z7

Fit and Comfort

The Noble Falcon Pro have a similar design to the Falcon 2, which is great in terms of the fit and comfort. The nozzle is slightly longer but the tips are fairly short and they fit really well once you find the right tips. The housings are smooth and fit to the contours of your inner ear, and the fit is really secure.

Comfort is also excellent, as previously mentioned I really like to included stock tips and the way they fit. This means I find the Noble Falcon Pro to be very comfortable for long listening sessions.

Features

The Noble Falcon Pro support Bluetooth 5.2 and use aptX Adaptive if supported by the source device, this means they have high fidelity Bluetooth playback which definitely makes a difference. They come with touch controls that you can use for playback controls, allowing noise pass through and of course bringing up your voice assistant. They offer up to 10hrs battery life from a single charge, and have a quick charge feature which gives you 2hrs of playback from a 15 minute stint in their case, that’s great for those who use their earphones a lot.

I actually found the touch controls to be a little hard to use, they were not very responsive and I found myself getting a bit frustrated with them, so I mostly used my phones controls. On every true wireless product I’ve tried, I have always favoured proper tactile buttons, call me old-school but they just work better for me. This is the main downside I have found to the Falcon Pro, usability could have been so much better had they opted for a normal button instead of touch controls.

Sound

Bass: Noble have opted for a slight sub-bass lift on the Falcon Pro, this brings out a little extra warmth in the sound and also ensures that mid-bass kicks are backed up with body along with impact. The low end however is always tight and controlled, they can keep up with complex tracks but never get left behind in the mix. I would say there is a mild bass lift on the Falcon Pro, but they don’t ever come across as muddy. The single dynamic driver does a great job here, providing an engaging and fun, yet well controlled bass response.

Midrange: The midrange sits just behind the lows when it comes to absolute presence, but they don’t get pushed far enough back to ever become what I would consider recessed. There is a little added warmth from the low end, giving them a slightly full tonality but without taking away too much detail. They have a good level of transparency but without presenting the detail in a forced or harsh way. It’s there for you should you want to listen out for it, however they are quite smooth and relaxed overall. The midrange works a treat for slower acoustic tracks with great imtimacy and an overall nice sense of space and layering.

Treble: The treble on these is quite laid back and soft, it’s definitely not the first thing you notice when you put them in, but it’s subtle and offers that bit of refinement and air that is missing in lots of earphones. It extends very well without any peaks, perhaps that’s what I most appreciate about the top end on these. They are snappy and detailed, the transition from the upper midrange to lower treble is expertly done and there’s never a hint of sibilance.

Soundstaging and genres

The soundstaging on the Falcon Pro is good, it has quite an airy and spacious sound with great layering and instrument separation.

It lends itself to most genres, the slight sub-bass lift helps with more modern pop, whilst the clarity overall means they hold their own when listening to rock. A great all rounder that seems to sound good with whatever you throw at them.

The post Noble Falcon Pro True Wireless Earphones Review appeared first on HiFiheadphones.

Fit and Comfort

The Noble Falcon 2 fit really well, a lot of thought has gone into the way they are shaped, the nozzle is a little longer, and the tips are quite short. They do sit a little deeper in your ears than some other TWS models but once you have found the right tips they offer a very secure fit. These would be excellent for active use, as they don’t at all once inserted.

The comfort is really good, again they sit a littel deeper in your ears but the short tips provide a very solid fit as well as being comfortable for long listening sessions. Due to the secure and slightly deeper fit, they don’t stick out of your ears too much either, always a bonus when they are made for portable use.

Features

The Falcon 2 have a noise pass through mode, one press of the L side and it will activate or deactivate this feature and it works really well when out and about. The left side also controls the volume, 2 clicks for volume down, 3 for volume up, a 1s press on either side will activate siri. A single press on the right side will play/pause music, and 2/3 presses for skipping tracks forward and back. Fairly standard for a TWS model, the button is quite stiff to press the first sew times, but once you get used to it, they are easy to use.

The case uses USB-C or wireless charging to charge it, and the earphones fit securely inside, you get up to 10hrs off a single charge. The Falcon 2 are IPX7 rated so perfect for sports and outdoor use, along with having AAC and Aptx support for high quality bluetooth playback (they use Bluetooth 5.2).

Sound

Bass: There is a nice little bit of added energy and punch down low on the Falcon 2, that little driver can provide good body and extension. Luckily though, it doesn’t sound overblown or dominating, they are not what I would consider linear or neutral but for portable use a little added body doesn’t hurt. They can hit hard when called for, but for the most part are just happy to keep the beat in focus without being the main focus.

Midrange: I really like the midrange on theses, it isn’t exactly forward but it is very clean and well presented. The separation between the lows and mids is great, this allows the midrange to cut through and they do so with good clarity. The tonality is also very good here, with a realistic tone, the midrange errs slighty on the warmer side, but overal a very enjoyable presentation.

Treble: The treble is smooth but still well presented in the mix, enough snap and sizzle to keep things exciting but not enough to ever sound grating or fatiguing. It extends without any real noticeable roll-off which isn’t always easy with bluetooth (aptx used in this review). Snares are snappy, cymbals are well defined and don’t get lost in the mix either, overall a well presented and smooth top end.

Soundstaging and Genres

The soundstage isn’t overly wide, however due to good detail and control the separation and stereo imaging makes them sound quite accurate and enjoyable.

They are a good all-rounder with an easy to listen to yet fun sound that is perfectly suited to casual everyday use. This means they handle most genres well, but modern pop and rock sounds particularly fun on these.
