Like an up-and-coming UFC fighter hyping himself up before stepping into the Octagon to do battle with the heaviest hitter in the business, the Final ZE8000 MK2 talk a big game, claiming the “fullest possible portrayal of sound texture and detail”. So, we are keen to discover whether they are champions elect or ham-fisted no-hopers.
With a premium price of £299, these buds are a smidge more expensive than the Award-winning Sony WF-1000XM5 (£259), and a substantial step up from Apple’s five-star AirPods Pro 2 (£229). They are more akin to the excellent Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (£300).
