Specification is good, inasmuch as the VR500 are fitted with proven full-range dynamic drivers.

Build quality is solid, thanks to their neat ABS resin construction.

And in practice, the VR500 work very well indeed.

Demure build, but the Final VR500 aren’t shy about sound

The cable connecting the earbuds to the three-pole 3.5mm jack is of oxygen-free copper.

Its drive for clarity, spaciousness and good location of effects when gaming has been a complete success.

In every other respect, though, theyre a straightforward pleasure to listen to.

The level of care Final has delivered at this price point is unmatched

The soundstage they generate is big and well-organised, so both music and games are convincingly laid out.

The cable is tangle-resistant, and at 1.2m is long enough for all likely applications.

The single button of the in-line mic feels positive in its action.

The care Final Audio has taken with the physical and performance aspects of the VR500 is really quite impressive.

Should I buy the Final VR500?

The Final VR500 are easily as good, but they don’t have those years of popularity behind them.

Bijou branding and a compact design

Are they still worth it?

And at no point was I anything less than impressed.
