Sweet, thanks! It kinda looked that way, but I just wanted to be sure in case I had to make a special request or the like.

@Rikudou_Goku any experience with the final vr3000s? just got a crazy good deal on them new (hoping the order isn’t cancelled because of it)

WTF!!!

MSRP is at 80 usd…

(I have no clue on how they sound though…and no graphs AFAIK.)

the store selling them (hifiheadphones) had a coupon for black friday for amazon for £31 off, while it was at £70, which matches their own websites price currently, i guess they forgot about the coupon and reduced the amazon price for now

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08PJD4WWX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 coupon is still showing for me you could try having them shipping to wherever you live but idk if they’d do it

Sale price doesnt show up in cart

It does work. Currently checking reviews. No graphs on it is quite risky…

@Morphitsu Thanks for the heads-up… that price tag is itching me pretty bad…

I know Chinese, so to summarize this review:

The guy compared it to the A3000 and A4000, and to summarize:

  • VR3000: attached cable with mic / fun, big sound stage & pinpoint imaging, good bass, good for gaming
  • A3000: detachable cable / neutral, balanced, thick, good for monitoring
  • A4000: detachable cable / detailed, best clarity, more treble, vocals in front

Really tempting to try out the Japanese tuning…
EDIT: Purchased.

FOUND A GRAPH!!!

GS Audio GT12x Impressions:

graph - 2021-12-10T182320.655.png

Bass: sub-bass rumble and extension arent that good, but there is some texture. Mid-bass texture is pretty good, is actually still on the tighter/faster side despite the quantity.

Mids: Female vocals lack brightness and clarity and is a bit recessed. Male vocal tonality is good but does lack clarity and detail.

Treble: Dark treble, not sharp at all and non-fatiguing. Does lack clarity and detail to me.

Overall: I had pretty high expectations of it and this definitely doesnt meet them. I can see some people liking this but it will be a niche rec at best.

Qian39 Impressions:

Bass: Excellent bass, its elevated and very clean with great texture. Not as much as sub-bass as something like the X6, but close in mid-bass quantity.

Mids: Great vocals, very clean despite the tonality being a bit on the warmer side.

Treble: Well tuned treble, airy, clean and not fatiguing.

Overall: Drop whatever you are doing and get this. The Yincrow X6 might have been surpassed at half the price with a godly fit/comfort.

K´s K300 Impresssions:

Bass: sub-bass has poor extension and rumble. Mid-bass is a bit bloated but not that much quantity.

Mids: Unclean due to bass bleed, too much warmth.

Treble: Dark treble, unclean, lacks clarity and detail.

Overall: Not a budget Samsara K300, for iem people its somewhat similar to something like the Final Audio E5000

Dang. I’m still looking forward to my GT12x arriving, and I’ll see how they stack up against the ST8B. The graph of your unit seems far more subdued from 1khz up than the old graphs GS audio provided, almost makes me wonder if the tuning got changed at some point?

Final VR3000 unboxing and first impressions:

Unboxing presentation is simple yet surprisingly satisfying, every placement very well thought out. Very interesting earhook system, very nice cable and built. Final always has the best rubber quality and the softest cables. Extremely light IEMs. Oddly though, my set didn’t come with the carrying pouch advertised on the box, but I have no need for it anyways. For a JP-Fi experience, this is topnotch even for an entry level product.

Power requirement, as usual with Final IEMs, is way above the average of sub $100 IEMs, almost as much as the Variations is asking for. Upon first 10 minutes of listening compared to the Mele, the VR3000 wins immediately with more treble clarity but without any sibilant harshness. Timbre is surprisingly natural given its plastic casing. Mele becomes dark and warm against the VR3000. Sound stage is wider with a soothing spacial reference, exactly as promoted. Bass region is not as punchy as the Mele, expecially the mid-bass, but overall balance is better. 10 minutes in, I knew immediately that this is a keeper for me.

Just tested it against my favorite IEM for movie watching, Blon BL-05s, and tested with Constantine (2005)… VR3000 hands down wrecks BL-05s with it’s pinpoint imaging and spacial clarity. I’m stumped.

Final Audio’s IEMs are always known for their impressive soundstage and pin point imaging. I once own a E2000 and lost it sadly. Really like that soft earhook system and their build quality overall. As you said, everything in the package give you the feeling that it is well thought out.

Your post make me miss my E2000, might hunt down this VR3000 or get a E3000 this Christmas.
