Final Unveils New UX3000 SV Wireless Hybrid ANC Headphones With Voice-First Tuning
The original UX3000 headphones were first introduced in 2022 and combined excellent sound with a lightweight and foldable design suitable for traveling. The new UX3000 SV has much of the same DNA as its predecessor, but its internal architecture has been improved in terms of soundstage, greater vocal separation and more precise active noise cancellation.
Unlike conventional noise-canceling headphones that can sacrifice sound for suppression, the UX3000 SV headphones have been built to ensure sound quality is prioritized. Using Final's proprietary hybrid ANC algorithm, the UX3000 SV has dual microphones located inside and outside the earcups. The microphones analyze ambient sound which is then canceled out. According to Final, the result is immersive isolation without disrupting the integrity of the original audio quality.
Final has focused on vocal clarity and spatial accuracy with the UX3000 SV. Whether it's a stripped-back acoustic set or a full cinematic score, Final says the UX3000 SV can extract vocal nuance and instrumental tone with striking precision.
At the heart of the UX3000 SV are custom 40mm dynamic drivers, developed by Final. The drivers are housed in an acoustic chamber that is purpose-built to optimize human voice reproduction so it's suited to vocals, podcasts, audiobooks and expressive music.
With support for high-quality Bluetooth audio, the UX3000 SV supports aptX and aptX HD codecs. Alongside the support for Qualcomm's advanced codecs, the UX3000 SV uses Final's hybrid noise cancellation system. The system has been tuned with audio fidelity in mind so the music remains vibrant, open and distortion-free, even with ANC switched on.
Users can also enable a Noise-Cancellation-Only Mode, which activates ANC without powering on the audio system. This makes the headphones suitable for blocking out sounds like aircraft engines without having to listen to music.
The battery built into the UX3000 SV offers up to 35 hours of playback with ANC turned off. With ANC on, the figure drops to 25 hours and a full charge takes around 2.5 hours. Meanwhile, Bluetooth 5.0 provides stable connection and support for Multipoint pairing that enables users to be connected to two different devices at the same time, making it possible to switch between, say, a laptop and a phone.
Finished with a minimalist Shibo-textured silver, the UX3000 SV has an ergonomic and foldable design that is resistant to fingerprints, making it durable as well as stylish.
The Final UX3000 SV is available from June 19, 2025, via Amazon and selected retailers priced at $149.99 / £119.00 / €139,00.

Bose's Soundlink Plus Is the Midsize Banger You Didn't Know You Needed
With so many Bluetooth speakers out there, and more arriving almost daily, it can be easy to underestimate one that dwells in the middle ground. Sandwiched between the packable Soundlink Flex and the beefy Soundlink Max (9/10, WIRED Recommends), Bose's new midsize Soundlink Plus (no, these aren't streaming services) carves out its own niche thanks largely to winning sound with equal parts nuance and bravado. Like its siblings, the Plus looks and feels like a premium speaker with an accordingly premium price; it's dressed to the nines, especially fetching in the Citrus Yellow color I reviewed, but bears commensurate dust- and waterproofing for good defense against the elements. Medium build notwithstanding, this is still a hefty package, but if you're after a good compromise between boombox might and breezy portability, the Soundlink Plus abides. Premium Protection Photograph: Ryan Waniata There's style in the Sound Plus's minimalism, with a sleek yet strong powder-coated steel grille, supple touch keys along its rubberized topside, and a hearty checkered nylon handle at the side that makes it easier to haul (or hang). At the back are vents for its four bass radiators and an open USB-C port. A point of note there: the Plus is fine to dunk given its IP67 rating, and it even floats, but you'll need to wait for the port to dry before charging. That's further notable given that, like the Max, the Plus takes a sluggish five hours to charge its 20-hour battery from zero. That said, it didn't take long for the orange-and-white flashing LED to return to solid white following a bath in my laundry sink, signaling a clear and ready port. Measuring 9.1 x 3.94 x 3.4 inches (WxHxD) and weighing over 3 pounds, this is not the most packable speaker, but it's still game for the open road. It took me a while to get used to its heft, but it fared well on its first task after unboxing, a camping trip in the Columbia River Gorge. If it seems risky taking a shiny new lemon-meringue speaker into the dusty woods, you're not wrong, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well the speaker cleans up. You'll inevitably attract some marks, though, and the Dusk Blue and Black should age better. Whatever the color, I dig the Plus' aesthetic, and so did most people I showed it to (though they mostly remarked on the great sound). It feels nice to the touch, and both the look and build quality seem a step above flack-jacketed rivals like the JBL Charge 6 and UE MegaBoom 4. I'd still prefer either of those speakers for a hard fall—not because the Bose wouldn't survive, it's just more likely to get nicks or dents. The Charge 6's IP68 rating theoretically gives it bragging rights for water resistance, but all three are dunkable, like most speakers we test. Solid Extras Photograph: Ryan Waniata Soundlink Plus features seem a little austere at first glance, but there's enough here to keep away feature envy. The unified Bose app's compact interface will be familiar to anyone with Bose headphones, with options like the ability to connect to two devices over Bluetooth multipoint, a three-band EQ and presets, and monitoring for battery and volume.

How to Share Games on Nintendo Switch 2 (Spoiler: It's Easier Than You Think)
If your household has more than one Nintendo Switch 2, you don't have to purchase the same game again and again for every console. Instead, Nintendo offers two ways to share a single copy of a game you've purchased between multiple Switch 2s, using a new feature called Virtual Game Cards. I'll walk you through both. Before we get started however, you may have heard of a feature called GameShare, which is also found on the bottom row of the home screen. I'm not talking about GameShare here. Confusingly, GameShare doesn't mean sharing or lending full games with other systems. It's for when you want to play a multiplayer game using more than one Switch 2 to play. You could use it to play Mario Kart with additional Switch 2s all racing one another on the same track, for example, all from one copy of the game. If you had a Nintendo DS, it is very similar to DS Download Play. How to Share Games Between Two Switch 2s How to Share Games Between Two Switch 2s Click to unmute Video Player is loading.

This modal can be closed by pressing the Escape key or activating the close button. How to Share Games Between Two Switch 2s The two sharing features I'm walking you through below, and in the video above, are different. They're both ways to share games between more than one Switch 2 without having to purchase multiple copies of the game. Let's get started. Method 1: Load the game on another Switch 2 Sean Booker The first method we'll go through is loading a game on a second, separate Switch 2 system. Both consoles will be able to play the game on their own, but not at the same time. Also, save files will transfer between the two as long as each system is able to connect to the internet. That way, each system will stay up-to-date with progress made on the other. Sean Booker To start, you'll need to have your Nintendo account signed in on both Switch 2 systems. On the secondary device (the one without the game) go to Virtual Game Cards, and select your account. Here you'll be able to see all the games tied to that account, and any game with an empty cartridge icon is currently not loaded onto this system. Select the game you want to share and then Load on This System. Sean Booker You'll then be prompted to link the two Switch 2s together if you haven't already done so. If this is the first time doing this, you may need to unlink your account from an original Switch, like I had to with my old Switch OLED (pictured above). Sean Booker Select "Link on the Primary" console and wait for them to connect. Make sure both are on the same Wi-Fi network. Over on the secondary console, you'll see that they're now successfully linked together. You can then proceed to Load on This System. Once loaded, the game will automatically begin to download. Sean Booker To stop sharing, go to Virtual Game Cards on the Primary system, select the game, and Load on This System. This will remove access to it on the secondary system. Method 2: Lending to a family member Sean Booker Now let's look at the second way to share your game library. This is called Lending to a Family Group Member and it works kind of like lending a library book. But don't be confused by the wording – we're not talking about Nintendo Switch Online family. This is a method to use if you don't want your personal Nintendo Account connected to multiple Switch 2 consoles. Sean Booker The first thing you'll need to do is add the other member, in this case my SeanTest account, to your Family Group using After following the instructions and adding the new member, return to the primary Switch 2. Go to Virtual Game Cards, select the game, then Lend to Family Group Member. The Switch 2 will mention here that these lent games can only go out for up to 14 days at a time, before they automatically come back (just like a library book). Choose Select a User to Lend To, you'll then need to bring both Switch 2s near each other. Sean Booker On the secondary device, hit continue. Go to Virtual Game Cards and select Borrow. Once transferred, the game will begin to download. On the Primary Switch 2, you won't be able to play that game while it's lent out. You'll also be able to see which of your Family Group Members have which games. It's also worth noting that each member can only borrow one game at a time. If you want your game back, select the game and then choose Collect from Family Group Member. The secondary device won't get a warning. Once it's loaded, the Secondary Switch 2 will automatically be unable to play the game anymore. Sean Booker There you have both ways to share games across multiple Switch 2s. Hopefully this helps you figure out which option will work best for your gaming setup.
