Following the UX2000 and UX3000 in 2022 and the UX3000 SV refresh in early 2025, Final is expanding its wireless headphones lineup with two new models: the ultra-budget UX1000 ($65) and the more refined UX5000 ($250). Details are still coming in, but early specs confirm that both target the value end of the market with aptX support, while the UX5000 steps up with LDAC to compete with far more expensive wireless headphones. Here’s what we know so far.
UX1000
The UX1000 is Final’s new entry-level wireless ANC headphone, positioned below the UX3000 and UX3000 SV and aimed at listeners who want an affordable option without giving up the benefits of Final’s design and engineering experience.
Tuning: Final has tuned the UX1000 for clarity and long-term listening comfort. Driver performance is optimized first, with EQ applied only where it is needed to address minor Bluetooth artifacts. The result is deep and controlled bass with crisp and well-defined highs that avoid fatigue.
High Performance Hybrid ANC: Many budget ANC headphones raise isolation at the expense of sound quality. Final takes a different approach with its Hybrid ANC system, which is designed to preserve the headphone’s natural tuning. Feedforward and feedback microphones work together to reduce ambient noise across a wide range of environments, allowing the character of the headphone to remain intact. An Ambient Mode allows outside sounds to come through when needed, making it easy to stay aware of travel announcements or have quick conversations without taking the headphones off.
Lightweight Design with a Premium Finish: The UX1000 is built for all day use with a light frame, soft padding, and an easy fit that holds up during long listening sessions. The design is simple and understated, offered in Black or Greige. A durable matte finish helps resist fingerprints, oils, and surface wear so the headphones maintain their appearance over time. When it is time to pack up, the foldable headband lets the UX1000 fit easily into bags or backpacks.
Playback Time: The UX1000 includes a battery rated for up to 70 hours of playback with ANC off and up to 40 hours with ANC on.
Bluetooth Support: The UX1000 uses Bluetooth 5.4 and supports multi point connection, allowing listeners to stay connected to two devices at the same time.
UX5000
Positioned above the UX3000 and UX3000 SV and informed by Final’s ongoing acoustic research, the UX5000 blends the company’s engineering heritage with modern wireless convenience. It is designed to present a three dimensional soundstage with balanced tonality.
Crystal Clear Balanced Sound: The UX5000 draws on acoustic principles developed for Final’s A series earphones. It is tuned for clarity across the full frequency range, supported by a precisely engineered internal sound cavity that shapes the presentation. The result is clear highs, solid bass, and strong depth. It is designed to handle everything from detailed orchestral recordings to gaming audio and more aggressive genres while keeping the presentation spacious and expressive.
Dynamic Driver and Bluetooth Implementation: The UX5000 uses a newly developed 40 mm dynamic driver that employs refined acoustic damping and filtering to improve performance. Wireless operation is handled by Qualcomm’s QCC3095 Bluetooth chip, which offers improved efficiency and expanded codec support. The UX5000 supports aptX, aptX Adaptive, and LDAC.
Designed for Everyday Comfort: The UX5000 carries Final’s minimalist industrial design language with soft ergonomic padding and a lightweight frame suited for long listening sessions. Every component is selected to support comfort, durability, and a clean aesthetic that works at home or on the go. Final also includes a practical carrying case that protects the headphones and makes daily transport easy.

The Bottom Line
Final may not have the brand recognition of some mainstream players, but they have earned real credibility in the headphone and earbud space, and our reviews of the UX2000 and UX3000 reflect that. The UX1000 gives them a true budget ANC option under $70, while the UX5000 moves them deeper into the crowded $250 wireless category where Skullcandy, OneOdio, CMF, and EarFun are all swinging for the same customer. If Final can deliver the tuning, build quality, and codec support they are promising here, the UX1000 and UX5000 should make the UX series a much stronger contender in the everyday wireless headphone market.
