Bright set with lots of treble detail. Airy, splashy, and shimmery with great extension. Isn't sharp or metallic in the timbre, but not 100% "natural" either, comes down to preference. Mid-volume set, good with slower genres, not rec for high energy tracks, can get much at higher volumes. Favors female vocals, male could be a bit light and could use more power, but vocals aren't thin or shrill sounding like the Oracle MK2s. Not gonna float everyone's boat, but it's a unique listen (not the same planar tuning yay) and worth having as a collectors piece.

Actually good mids and imaging for its price during sales (sub-30).... Rest is "meh" at best, specially techs. Avoid at full retail price. Final Audio QC is a problem.

Final Audio VR3000 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E+
  • Expect a discordant presentation where frequency clashes ruin any chance of relaxed listening. It struggles to render a cohesive musical picture.

Average Technical Grade

E-
  • Hopelessly smeared and congested, it struggles with basic instrument separation and loses detail even in simple tracks. Even casual listening quickly becomes tiring.
Bass E+
Expect a lightweight response that keeps rumble and warmth at arm’s length. Low-end ambience dissipates quickly.
Mids E+
A hollow mid band strips body from instruments and voices. Instrumental harmonics fade too quickly.
Treble E+
Treble feels muted, reducing brilliance and sheen across tracks. Recordings lack their usual energy.
Details E-
Everything important hides behind a thick curtain, robbing performances of clarity and intent. Listeners craving clarity will be disappointed.
Imaging E+
Layering blurs because positional cues can't stay locked in place. Layering suffers from constant smearing.
Gaming E
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
