Reviewer verdict

Across 14 YouTube reviews, the Final Audio Final ZE8000 MK2 earns an Index score of 3.4/5, ranking #71 among True Wireless Earbuds. Reviewers most often praise its sound quality, controls and features, comfort and fit, while the most common criticisms concern noise cancellation, controls and features.

The Final ZE8000 MK2 is repeatedly praised for its exceptional sound quality, with reviewers (105 mentions) calling the tuning detailed, balanced and one of the best-sounding true wireless options they’ve heard, highlighting strong mids, clear treble, tight textured bass and an expansive, three-dimensional soundstage. Many reviewers also noted reliable controls and useful app features (19 mentions) such as customizable EQ, touch controls and Snapdragon/8K-related processing options, and frequently mentioned comfort and fit (13 mentions) with multiple tip sizes and a secure, ergonomic design that supports long listening sessions. Build quality, design cues and connectivity features (each mentioned across several reviews) were also positively noted, including durable materials, IPX4 resistance and support for modern codecs and multipoint/aptX options. Overall there is broad agreement that the ZE8000 MK2 stands out mostly for audio fidelity and a refined listening experience.

Criticisms center on underwhelming noise control: many reviewers (21 mentions) described ANC, transparency and ambient modes as weak, inconsistent or introducing artifacts, and wind handling as problematic. Software and control frustrations were common (20 mentions), with complaints about a limited or buggy app, awkward touch control behavior, EQ that appears ineffective and unintuitive gesture requirements. Several reviewers also flagged practical tradeoffs: large, bulky design and case size with mixed comfort (18 mentions for design, 14 mentions for fit), below‑average battery life and lack of wireless charging (15 mentions), and some connectivity or call glitches reported by a minority. In short, excellent sound is tempered by software, ANC, ergonomics and battery compromises that multiple reviewers found notable.

“Wind Cut” mode helps to cut out the rushing wind sound that you can get in earbuds on a windy day. It’s similar to the sound of wind rushing past an open car door window.. THIS mode works really well and completely eliminates it. I use it when I’m out walking the dog all the time. ▶ 6 THINGS TO KNOW before buying wireless earbuds! | Final ZE8 @ 7:41

Cons (133)

Noise Cancellation (21)

they do catch a whole bunch of wind ▶ The Final ZE8000 deliver a knockout punch to BAD SOUNDING wi @ 4:38
the main ‘Noise Cancelling’ mode, and this one, if I’m being honest, was a bit of a disappointment. Because there is no real difference to how much background noise you can hear, or rather can’t, regardless of whether ANC is turned off or on! You might as well not bother using it. ▶ 6 THINGS TO KNOW before buying wireless earbuds! | Final ZE8 @ 8:14
the ANC the active noise cancellation is minimal at best ▶ The Final ZE8000 deliver a knockout punch to BAD SOUNDING wi @ 9:20

ANC is probably below average and transparency is okay ▶ 2023 True Wireless Shootout – The Best TWS IEMs @ 10:45
the ANC is just okay ▶ BEST In-Ear Headphones Tier List 2024 @ 9:26
The ANC is honestly poor - and for us came in at Tier D. It was worse than the budget Edifier W240TN which is Tier C and retails for $60. The Final lets in more low end than the Edifier - despite that excellent passive seal! ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 3:42
The wind noise reduction helped for sure, but at the same time it made the ambient awareness worse than it already was. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 5:18
‘Ambient Sound’ mode is supposed to let outside noise into your earbuds so you can hear your surroundings better. But turning it on really didn’t make a huge difference compared to not having it enabled so I’m not sure that it’s much use. ▶ 6 THINGS TO KNOW before buying wireless earbuds! | Final ZE8 @ 7:58
Final decided to include those relaxing waterfall sounds in transparency mode. You’ll also notice some white noise. Very disturbing… ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 4:32
I feel like they don't seal well enough to do like crazy active noise cancelling ▶ in-Ear Fetish Review \\ Final ZE8000 TWS IEM @ 12:14
“Voice Through” allows you to hear people over your music. But it lowers the volume of the music so much that you might as well just take an earbud out to talk to someone. I really didn’t find that mode that helpful. ▶ 6 THINGS TO KNOW before buying wireless earbuds! | Final ZE8 @ 7:30
you’re going to need the wind noise reduction because even a little bit of wind caused crazy whooshing to be piped into our ears. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 5:10

not a single bit of difference in any of the the EQ bands was made through the application ▶ The Final ZE8000 deliver a knockout punch to BAD SOUNDING wi @ 7:43
You can of course tweak the EQ, but the Final Connect app’s ‘Pro’ EQ is… limited. First off - it looks parametric, but isn’t, because there’s no Q factor to play with. You can only adjust 4 bands at any given time. This is a bit weird - you choose between 14 frequencies, but at any given time, you can only adjust 4 of them. You get a choice between one of 4 bass frequencies, one of 3 low mid frequencies, one of 4 higher mid frequencies and one of 3 treble frequencies. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 11:00

the application that it comes with is one of the washed applications that I've ever seen included with a an earphone it virtually does nothing ▶ The Final ZE8000 deliver a knockout punch to BAD SOUNDING wi @ 6:59
There is an ‘8k sound’ mode in the mobile app which you can turn on that supposedly gives you better sound but I really didn’t notice any real difference with it on or off, and having it on does reduce battery life so I’d just leave it off. ▶ 6 THINGS TO KNOW before buying wireless earbuds! | Final ZE8 @ 5:44
You need 5 consecutive taps to call up your voice assistant. 5?! ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 2:58
the buds make a beep after tapping a bud. So if you tap twice, you hear two beeps after you’re done tapping. It basically gives you a summary of how many taps it thinks you did. I mean - this is a feature when you’ve probably missed a tap, but it’s a bug when you gotta tap 5 times! ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 3:06

Sound Quality (17)

to get the best sound out of these, you will need a Snapdragon sound enabled phone. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 8:59
impact and slim are okay it's more about the texture here than it is the feel of the bass ▶ 2023 True Wireless Shootout – The Best TWS IEMs @ 11:42

high- end is tamed ▶ Final ZE8000 MK2 Review | Defying Wireless Limitations @ 4:22
Final is also touting an ‘8K sound’ feature and we didn’t see any significant difference enabling or disabling this, so we ended up just leaving it on. We thought that this might be similar to Sony’s digital upscaling DSEE feature, but after testing with a low quality file, it was really zero difference. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 11:33
don't have the most Airy or spacious sound ▶ Final ZE8000 MK2 Review | Defying Wireless Limitations @ 4:19

minor nitpicks would be the upper base is a little bloomed and that means sometimes it can be a little dominating and that means sometimes vocals can become a little recessed ▶ GREAT Sounding WIRELESS 8K EarBuds FINAL-ly ZE8000 REVIEW @ 12:47

Battery Life (15)

it's not got wireless charging ▶ The Final ZE8000 deliver a knockout punch to BAD SOUNDING wi @ 14:38
the cost of that is battery life. Because you only get 5 hours of playtime on a single charge with these, which is below average when compared to other premium earbuds that typically provide 6-8 hours on a single charge. ▶ 6 THINGS TO KNOW before buying wireless earbuds! | Final ZE8 @ 11:05
whilst most other premium earbuds typically provide around 30 hours of power with their cases, these only give you 15 hours, and that’s significantly below par, especially considering the size of the case. ▶ 6 THINGS TO KNOW before buying wireless earbuds! | Final ZE8 @ 11:18

Connectivity and Stability (7)

after we finished one call and wanted to hop onto another, the buds wouldn’t work for calls. We could select it as a device, but others couldn’t hear us and our mic didn’t work either. The only way we could solve both of these was by putting both buds into the case and taking them out again. Very annoying. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 7:08
after being on a call for a while the right bud sometimes stopped working. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 7:04
something we’ve experienced with the ZE3000 after we published our review is that one of the samples broke on us. The right earbud would have intermittent connectivity. We haven’t had anything like that on the ZE8000 yet, except for the right bud occasionally not working on calls. But that was fixed after putting it in the case. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 8:03
The ZE8000 is monogamous and will only stay connected to a single device - no multipoint here. Neither is there support for pulling a connection from a previously paired device. No Google Fast Pair either and you can forget about seeing a device list in the app. The only way to quickly connect to another device is by opening the case with the buds in it and clicking the pairing button two times. It will disconnect from the paired device and enter pairing mode. Definitely not ideal. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 7:35

Call Quality (4)

Phone calls on the ZE8000 should be fine in quiet conditions. But that’s not hard to do. Outdoors we see that the wind and background noise is very audible and takes away from the speaker's voice. It lowers and cuts the voice making it hard to understand at certain times. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 6:15
Even though the ZE8000 has volume controls they only apply to music, not to calls. And there’s no muting on the buds themselves, you’ll need to grab your phone for that. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 6:47
certainly there is a little bit of wind in the background, and in previous testing I have found that these earbuds don't do well as soon as the wind picks up. It really starts to struggle in hearing your voice over the background noise of that wind. It's definitely a microphone that is better suited to quiet environments. Any background noise and it really doesn't do well at all. ▶ 6 THINGS TO KNOW before buying wireless earbuds! | Final ZE8 @ 10:00
mic sounds a little bit digital ▶ The Best Sounding Earbuds Aren't Cheap! : Final ZE8000 MK2 @ 7:16

Other (1)

Again, Tier D. It performed worse than the SoundPeats Capsule3 Pro and the 1More Evo. The voices didn’t sound all too clear and were somewhat suppressed. The low end is very much still cancelled. It’s good enough to go for a walk outdoors and be aware of your surroundings, but don’t expect a very natural ambient experience. Or even thinking you can walk around the office or at home talking to people with the buds in your ears. ▶ Better than the Sennheiser IE 200? Final ZE8000 Audiophile @ 4:08
