Final has officially rolled out the UX1000 wireless headphones in Japan, combining hybrid ANC with a finish that shrugs off fingerprints and oil. These over-ear headphones aim to deliver better-than-expected audio over Bluetooth, even when limited to SBC or AAC codecs.
UX1000 hybrid ANC headphones tackle noise and sweat
The UX1000 isn’t chasing trends—it’s solving real-world issues. Covered in matte black and grey paint that resists stains, sebum, and smudges, these headphones are built for everyday use. Even after hours of wear, they’re designed to stay clean and low-profile.
Weighing just 250 grams, the UX1000 uses a hybrid ANC system that employs both feedforward and feedback microphones. That combo works to suppress ambient noise in a range of environments. Still need to hear what’s going on around you? Switch to ambient mode and outside sounds pass through clearly.
The Anywise W1 offers AMOLED, waterproofing, and dual-band GPS—cutting storage and maps to hit a lower price point.
Final’s Bluetooth tuning sharpens low-bitrate audio
Where many wireless headphones fall short, the UX1000 takes a different approach. Final developed a tuning method that improves audio clarity over lower-quality Bluetooth streams. The UX1000 recreates a live-performance feel even when using basic codecs like SBC or AAC.
Battery life is another strong point—Final claims up to 70 hours of playback. Bluetooth 5.4 is on board, and the headphones can stay connected to two devices simultaneously.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what the UX1000 brings:
- Hybrid active noise cancellation
- Ambient sound mode
- Matte stain-resistant finish
- Bluetooth 5.4 with dual-device support
- Up to 70-hour playback
- 250g lightweight frame
- Special Bluetooth tuning for SBC/AAC
- Frequency response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz
Bluetooth-tuned UX1000 hybrid ANC headphones go beyond the basics
While the UX1000 keeps things simple on the surface, Final clearly had deeper design goals. From the stain-resistant shell to the Bluetooth-focused tuning, this isn’t just another low-cost wireless headset. It’s built with small but sharp decisions that make it stand out—especially for listeners who care about audio, even over budget codecs.
SBC might be common. Sounding common isn’t the goal.
