Final ZE8000SoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve

Measured frequency response (dB relative) against the SoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve. When the measurement goes above the dashed line, that frequency is louder than our preference curve, and when it goes below: it's quieter. Use the curve for comparison purposes only, as your taste may vary.

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.

✕What could be better

✕Noise canceling and isolation is lackluster

✕Hard to fit some ears

✕Doesn't play well with iOS
