A new classic audiophile-grade truly wireless earbuds with its sound designed based on the latest research results in acoustic engineering and psychoacoustics.
The ZE3000 takes its name from the E3000, the brand's most widely recognized wired earphones, which have sold hundreds of thousands of units since its launch in 2017 and have won an unprecedented ten consecutive Gold medals at Japan's largest audio awards, the VGP.
The first challenge is truly wireless earbuds are having batteries, electronic circuit boards and antennas occupying most of the space inside the housing. This means that there is less freedom to create a perfect acoustic chamber to achieve a high quality sound. In order to avoid such issue, by fully utilizing the unoccupied acoustic space inside the ZE3000 and our knowledge in fluid mechanic engineering, we introduce a newly developed "f-LINK Damping System" that optimizes the pressure in the acoustic space inside the earbuds housing to create a sound equivalent to wired earphones without the need for external vents. This system makes it possible to achieve both waterproof performance and well-controlled sound production in the low-frequency range, making it possible to achieve the iconic natural sound production of E3000 in truly wireless form.
The ZE3000's "f-LINK Damping System" creates a natural sound similar to that of wired earphones, while the newly developed "f-Core for Wireless" driver unit delivers ultra-low distortion, resulting in a sound quality that is unmistakably different from conventional truly wireless earbuds. We want to convey the intentions of artists and creators as they are by creating a clear and natural sound through ultra-low distortion.
Newly Designed Driver "f-Core for Wireless" to Realize Ultra-Low Distortion
With the ZE3000, instead of fully depending on the equaliser, we've improved the fundamental performance of the driver units and optimized the acoustic space inside the earbuds to perfect the sound quality so that it is satisfying enough to listen to and equalizer is only utilized to make precise pinpoint effective corrections in narrow bands.
"f-LINK Damping System" to Optimise Internal Pressure of the Acoustic Chamber
The ZE3000 features a new "f-LINK Damping System" that optimizes the pressure in the acoustic space inside the earbuds housing to create a sound equivalent to wired earphones without the need for external vents. This makes it possible to properly control the low frequencies that were difficult to achieve with the sound quality design of truly wireless earbuds, and reproduce vocals that tend to be far away in the balance intended by the artist. In addition, even in low-frequency reproduction such as drum kicks and bass lines, combined with the ultra-low distortion of the driver unit, we have achieved high quality that allows you to feel the fine and detailed expression of the bass range.
Compatible with aptX™ Adaptive for High Quality Sound and Low Latency
Compatible with a wide range of iPhone and Android devices and easy to pair. In addition to the SBC and AAC, it also supports the uninterrupted, high-quality aptX™. It also supports 48kHz/24bit wireless transmission using the Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive.
Convenient Touch Media Control
The ZE3000 supports touch operation, so you can easily operate music play / stop / volume up / volume down / next track / previous track and call / end call. The touch point is on the triangle-like surface on the faceplate of the earbuds (the side where the logo is not printed), and this design is to avoid erroneous operation when wearing it.
IPX4 Water Resistance
The IPX4 Water Resistance rating makes ZE3000 suitable for sports and active lifestyles. Rapidly changing weather conditions will not stop you from enjoying your favorite music or other entertainment contents.
Ear Tips that Realize Ultimate Wearing Comfort
The new "TYPE E Truly Wireless Exclusive Edition" ear tips are a type that fit softly into the entrance of the ear canal, and so there is no sensation of a foreign object. By minimizing the sensation of fit itself, we have achieved the “Supreme Highest Sensation of Fit”.
Ideally Shaped Charging Case for Maximum Comfort as a Daily Companion
In addition to its thin and compact size, it can be easily opened and closed with one hand, and we are particular about the shape that fits comfortably in the hand when grasped which is realized through repeated prototyping and actual human evaluation.
