With the VR2000 Final has turned its attention to gamers, VR users and the captivating world of ASMR and immersive audio. Using newly designed ‘f-Core DU’ custom-made dynamic 6mm drivers developed in-house, final has been able to tune the VR2000 to extract every detail from your digital surroundings.

hear every note played as though you were there

Whether playing a first-person shooter, exploring virtual worlds, relaxing to mediative ASMR or listening to a live jazz recording – the VR2000 will transport you into the heart of the action and deliver an experience like never before with no sound going unheard.

Hear distant footsteps and gunfire as though you were in battle yourself. Feel every reaction from a stadium full of thousands of spectators. Transport yourself to a 1970’s jazz club and hear every note played as though you were there.

A Wealth of Applications

Primarily designed for gaming and VR, the VR2000 can also be utilised to get the most out of live recordings, intricate electronic music, ASMR and the latest advancements in Dolby Atmos technology. Unlike typical earphones, the VR2000 has been designed to provide a spatial listening experience with a naturally vast soundstage and the ability to hear each and every sound individually separated with absolute clarity.

The VR2000 is able to separate each sound and simultaneously deliver them accurately

This attention to detail and separation lends itself most effectively to gamers – especially those involved within a competitive domain. The ability to react in-game is heavily reliant on the quality of the audio, and the speed at which users notice sound effects that have been produced for this very reason. The VR2000 is able to separate each sound and simultaneously deliver them accurately, and naturally, within its expansive soundstage.

‘f-Core DU’ Custom-Made Dynamic Driver

With the ‘f-Core DU’ driver, Final has managed to achieve a quality of sound that is unheard of in this price range. Completely redesigning driver parts such as diaphragms, voice coils, magnets, magnetic circuits, and adhesives, as well as production equipment. The material of the driver front housing is brass, which is less affected by magnetic force and has a higher specific gravity than general aluminium. In order to improve the time response performance of the diaphragm, the voice coil uses 30? ultra-fine CCAW and is assembled with a minimum amount of adhesive to thoroughly reduce the weight of the moving parts.

Further developments in housing design have resulted in a uniquely attractive appearance and comfortable fit for the VR2000. Shells made from ABS plastic provides durability, and the OFC cable is covered in a tough and flexible coating with an in-line 3 button control with a high-quality built-in microphone – ideal for online gaming, streaming and taking calls.

The VR2000 comes supplied with a number of accessories including a selection of final Type E silicon eartips, earhooks for added support, and a carry pouch for safe storage.

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.
