We\u2019ve been lucky enough to have been given a few sets of headphones from Final to test out, from standard sets to closed-back units. Interestingly, they\u2019re all well suited for gaming, making them a good fit for this very site. So read on to see what we thought of a trio of Final products.<\/p>\n
### SIVGA SV021 Review<\/p>\n
We were given a set of these SIVGA SV021 headphones to test out too, and they certainly look the part with a natural wooden look and ear pads with comfortable skin-friendly velour. In terms of sound, they can\u2019t be faulted either, with a frequency response of 20Hz \u2013 20kHz and Oxygen-free copper cable meaning we heard everything we played loud and clear \u2013 from booming explosions to the tiniest notification jingle. They are on the higher price end at \u00a3179 when it comes to budget options, but if you\u2019re looking for headphones that are good for watching TV\/Films **and** gaming, these are a decent bet.<\/p>\n
### Final VR3000 Review<\/p>\n
One of the more expensive Final offerings, but these justify their cost and then some, especially as they\u2019ve been designed with gaming in mind \u2013 which is always nice. They have imaging far better than others in their budget field and offer superb bass performance. Music sounds good on these, but they excel when playing immersive gaming experiences with crisp treble making sure you catch every important sound and (where relevant) gunshot.<\/p>\n
### VR500 Review<\/p>\n
Wired headphones may be a relative rarity in the audio game nowadays, but the affordable VR500s are definitely not to be ignored. Designed for all uses, we found these worked particularly well for gaming thanks to their full-range dynamic drivers. There\u2019s an impressive level of detail retrieval, spaciousness, precision, and fidelity too \u2013 meaning these gave us an immersive experience while playing a range of different games. Another advantage is the rock-solid build quality, with the ABS resin construction meaning we felt we could leave these in our bag, coat pocket, or really anywhere with no fear of them being damaged or breaking. The fact these are wired will, of course, put off many immediately, but these are ideal for those looking for a more reliable audio source that doesn\u2019t rely on a large headset or tiny easy-to-lose earbuds. The 1.2m cable is more than long enough, and there\u2019s even a one-button in-line remote with a mic \u2013 something much easier to use than earbuds with their fiddly touch controls. This and the price make the VR500 an option that may surprise a few.<\/p>\n
### UX3000 Review<\/p>\n
From cheap and cheerful to possibly slightly overpriced, the UX3000s are closed-back headphones that are hard to **fully** recommend because of the cost. And \u2013 yes \u2013 the fact they\u2019re closed back headphones. But if you can look past those two points, these are a set of headphones that, quite simply, sound fantastic. For gaming and, really, almost anything else. The drivers have been specifically designed for this set \u2013 due to the fact the ANC feature usually causes issues to drivers. In terms of the actual noise canceling, it works well with little hiss or noticeable noise. Soundstage is solidly wide, with acceptable instrument separation. The bass is impressively tight and detailed \u2013 we found that with the more action-based games we played the set came into its own. Treble in comparison is merely serviceable. Like most Final products, the build of the UX3000s is rock solid, with a robust quality that meant we never worried they\u2019d fall apart if dropped or take a whack. There are some issues with the UX3000s, with them perhaps not offering quite enough in the way of comfort for the price tag \u2013 but the sound quality and number of features mean they can\u2019t be dismissed entirely. Ultimately, these are perhaps a little overpriced for what they are, but are still affordable for a gamer who doesn\u2019t care too much about audiophile fripperies and just wants good sound. That may well be you.<\/p>\n
### VR2000 Review<\/p>\n
Our final piece of hardware is the VR2000s, and these are our favorite of the three units tested. And not just because of their ambitious full name, saying they\u2019re \u201cVirtual Reality In-Ear Isolating Gaming\u201d headphones. Although being made with gamers in mind is definitely helpful \u2013 specifically mobile gamers. Lovely. But what makes these worth investing in is simple \u2013 for the relatively low price, they offer superb latency and remarkable sound quality. Simply put, every game experience we tried with these was elevated. Action games\u2019 explosions were punchy and near-ear shattering (in a good way), and more relaxed fare saw the music envelope and soothe. The over-ear design is perhaps not for everyone, but for the budget, we can\u2019t recommend these enough for those who put some serious hours into their mobile gaming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
