Wireless headphones for ASMR
It was widely known that listening to ASMR or binaural recordings with regular headphones caused discomfort in the high range. Although acoustics researchers understood the reason, there were few successful examples of effective countermeasures. In August 2019, the team of researchers and developers at Final Audio applied a new approach and created the E500 headphones, which accurately reproduce the tone, spatial image, and sound direction intended by the creator.
The sound quality of "E500" is so high that you can not only feel the voice and breath of the performer but also the distance to the microphone and the direction in which the speaker is located. This has become a popular topic on social media known as "naughty headphones". In particular, they have been used as monitoring headphones for sound checking in creating ASMR content and 3D games. Currently, "E500" is widely used by ASMR enthusiasts as standard ASMR headphones.
TWS as a solution for ASMR
On the other hand, many advocated for making "E500" wireless, but wireless connectivity requires a circuit board and battery built into the main unit, making it difficult to achieve the same sound quality as wired headphones. Therefore, by combining sound quality tuning technologies in headphones developed by the Final and ag brands, the ag brand released "COTSUBU for ASMR" and "COTSUBU for ASMR 3D", fully wireless headphones designed for ASMR, which are an evolution of "E500". And, using the knowledge gained from this, the Final brand developed the ultimate wireless headphones specifically for ASMR, "ZE500 for ASMR".
Unique Final design with high-quality sound optimized for ASMR content
Thanks to unique acoustic research, final has developed a new sound quality exclusively for ASMR that specializes in reproducing "voices" from a close range. Using the knowledge gained from the wireless headphones "COTSUBU for ASMR" (ag brand), engineers have achieved sound that allows deep immersion in content where you can enjoy voices and sounds from a close distance. This product is particularly focused on precise and natural reproduction of the "vocal" range, allowing you to comfortably use it for long listening sessions, including ASMR, radio, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. Compared to the "KOTSUBU for ASMR" series, the resolution of the entire sound space is higher, and the sense of sound separation is excellent. For example, even when listening to a live voice broadcast, the voice stands out clearly against the background sound, and you can imagine the speaker's mouth movements in three dimensions.
Ultra-compact size, 35% smaller than COTSUBU
Striving to create "headphones that are comfortable to use even while sleeping," Final has lowered the volume by approximately 35% compared to the ag brand COTSUBU, which is well known for its extremely small headphones. Engineers have introduced a "ultra-small and ultra-light body" that sets a new company record for the most compact design. In addition, the built-in soft earbud fits snugly into the ear canal entrance, providing a perfect fit with zero pressure. Even if you press your ears with a pillow or a roll, you are unlikely to feel a foreign body sensation, and the construction is designed to be difficult to dislodge, even if you change positions during sleep. While the "COTSUBU for ASMR" series headphones are designed to be inserted deeply into the ear canal, "ZE500 for ASMR" series headphones are designed to be inserted less deeply, further facilitating their wearability.
ASMR mode allows disabling touch sounds and voice prompts
This device uses a touch sensor to prevent accidental touches to the headphones. It also has an "ASMR mode" that disables touch sounds and voice prompts. Use this feature if you want to prevent accidental touches or want to immerse yourself deeper into ASMR content.
Accurate volume adjustment
Optimizing the volume adjustment step allows precise volume control. Suitable volume varies from person to person, and people are typically especially sensitive to volume in quiet environments, such as during sleep. On the other hand, when adjusting the volume on a smartphone, the volume change per step is too large, so you may not achieve the desired volume. ZE500 allows you to easily adjust the volume in small steps using a special app for "volume step optimization".
ASMR port reduces pressure on the eardrum
Final engineers have developed a special "ASMR port" considering extended use, such as when falling asleep or listening to radio programs. By regulating the increasing pressure in the ear canal, it reduces the load on the eardrum as well as reduces the load on the inner conducting channel. Additionally, the likelihood of ear canal blockage is reduced, so you can safely use it for extended periods.
