I’m a self-confessed music nerd. When I listen to music, I need to know I’m using the best wireless earbuds, because there’s nothing I hate more than lackluster sound quality. I listen to a wide array of genres, from indie, to house, to hip hop, to singer-songwriter, and everything in between, so I want buds with custom EQ that can help every genre shine. So when I found Final’s new earbuds, the ZE8000 MK2s, I was lured in by the Japanese audio brand’s impressive claims: these earbuds have ‘8K’ sound quality.
I know — what is that? ‘8K’ audio sounds fancy, but essentially it’s a combination of existing technologies including digital signal processing, good design and strong codec support. The result is ‘upscaled’ audio that sounds better with these earbuds than on traditional wireless earbuds that don’t use these technologies.
