Packaging and Accessories

The final ZE8000 MK2 ships in a relatively compact box, which seems to be the norm for TWS earphones today. It goes for a white background over the thick cardboard used. On the front is the brand logo and product name in addition to a render of the earphones and a mention of these being in the black color, thus leaving room for a white color version down the line, as final as done with many of its other wireless consumer products lately. We see a note about the final connect mobile app on the back as well as product specs and a list of contents inside. The Snapdragon Sound logo is also good to see for those who have a compatible phone and gain assurance from this certification. A seal on the side helps keep the box closed during transit, and it opens up as seen above to reveal separately packed paperwork in the form of a quick user manual (online copy here) and a note about how a proper seal may feel strange initially. The earphones and charging case are protected by thick foam with machined cutouts to snugly hold them in place, and the accessory box is seen below.


I recall my eyes going wide open when I first saw the ZE8000 and its unique ear tips with the ZE8000 MK2 following suit, albeit with some subtle improvements for a more secure and comfortable fit. These come in five sizes—SS/S/M/L/LL—with size M tips coming pre-installed on the earphones. You will note how these have two sections effectively, with one going over the earphones and the other into your ear canals. We also get the expected short USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable in addition to a set of replacement dust filters and a tool to help install them. This is very nice to see as it will no doubt help extend the lifetime of the ZE8000 MK2, given the filters are part of the tuning and seem restrictive enough to get clogged up quicker than most other such implementations.
