Final Audio has released a refreshed and premium version of the ZE8000 earbuds. The new ZE8000 MK2 earbuds feature Bluetooth Multipoint and Qualcomm aptX connectivity. The new earbuds are coming just a few months after the release of the ZE800 earbuds.

Final Audio announced the original model back in February 2023 but the new version comes with significant improvements. Final Audio says the ZE8000 MK2 is an evolution of 8K sound but retains the same drivers as its predecessor. It has a slightly higher sound threshold than the original model by up to 5 dB. The maximum volume rating of the new pair of Final Audio earbuds has not been specified, however. The model comes with an improved sound quality using signal processing and an optimized design.

In terms of noise cancellation, the ZE8000 is about 32% more efficient than its predecessor. In addition, Bluetooth Multipoint connectivity is featured in the new earbuds, while the aptX Adaptive audio is retained as with the ZE8000. The new pair of Final Audio earbuds come with a battery life of five hours on typical usage. The earbuds are fully charged in about 80 minutes. The Qualcomm aptX Adaptive offers 24-bit audio at 96kHz compressed to 420 kbit/s which is similar to its predecessor.
