The verdict

The Final ZE8000 is an ambitious flagship that doesn't quite nail the brief. Although the ZE8000 promises noise canceling, it barely registers. Combination ear tips and stabilizers mean getting a good, isolating fit is difficult for some ears. We like the streamlined nature of the app's user interface and the equalizer's design, but the ZE8000 needs to try harder to justify the price tag.
