Japan’s Final has announced the release of two new pairs of wireless headphones. The UX1000 are wireless ANC headphones aimed at entry-level buyers and priced under £50. The second pair of headphones is the Final UX5000, which has a luxury finish and, according to Final, set a new standard in wireless sound and comfort.
The new UX1000 headphones provide hybrid ANC at an accessible price point with fatigue-free sound. As well as offering Hybrid Noise Cancellation, the headphones can play for up to 70 hours on a single charge.
Final has tuned the UX1000 with a focus on clarity and long-term listening comfort. By optimizing the acoustic performance of the driver itself and applying EQ only where needed to smooth subtle Bluetooth artefacts, the UX1000 have a deep and controlled bass and a well-defined treble.
The new Final UX1000 is a budget-priced pair of wireless headphones with ANC and a long battery life.

Clean Presentation
Final says the result is a clean and natural presentation of music with effortless sound across all genres, whether that’s spoken word, acoustic recordings, dense electronic tracks or cinematic scores. Unlike some entry-level ANC headphones that can sacrifice sound quality to boost noise reduction, the UX1000 headphones use Final’s proprietary Hybrid ANC processing to maintain a more natural tuning.
Feedforward and feedback microphones in the headphones work together to reduce ambient noise in a wide range of environments, creating a calmer and more focused listening experience.
At the press of a button, an Ambient Mode can be invoked to allow surrounding sounds back into the mix, making it easier for the listener to stay aware of things like travel announcements or to hold a quick conversation without removing the headphones.
The Final UX1000 headphones are available in a choice of black or Greige.
FINAL
Up to 70 Hours of Wireless Playback
The UX1000 have a lightweight frame, soft padding and a fit that’s comfortable for long listening sessions. There is a choice of two finishes: Black and Greige (a blend of grey and beige). Final has added a durable matte coating to the headphones to keep them looking newer for longer. The surface also resists fingerprints, oils and surface wear. The headphones can be folded up to make them easier to stow in a bag or backpack.
Final has given the UX1000 with a battery designed around real-world use. A full charge can provide up to 70 hours of playback with ANC turned off. With ANC on, the figure drops to 40 hours, long enough for several weeks of commuting duties.
The UX1000 use Bluetooth 5.4 which supports Multi-point connections so listeners can be paired with up to two devices at once, enabling the user to switch seamlessly between music on one device and a call on a smartphone.

Samsung May Stop Producing These SSDs Next Year
Samsung may be preparing to step away from SATA SSD production. According to multiple industry reports, the company is planning a long-term exit from SATA SSD manufacturing starting next year.
YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead (MLID) says several sources have told him Samsung will end SATA SSD production entirely after it fulfills existing contracts.
SATA SSDs can feel like older technology as more new laptops and desktops rely on faster NVMe storage. High-end systems have also moved to SAS (Serial Attached SCSI).
Still, SATA SSDs remain common in 2025. They continue to see demand in budget PCs, external storage, and upgrades for older machines. Retail channels also continue to sell SATA SSDs in large numbers.
Samsung is one of the largest suppliers of finished consumer SSDs. MLID says Samsung-made SSDs make up a significant portion of top-selling products on major online retailers, with roughly one-fifth of those listings still using the SATA interface.
If Samsung removes that supply, the impact may extend beyond one product category. The report suggests the move could tighten availability across the broader SSD market, including NVMe drives.
The report lands as memory pricing faces pressure. Samsung has reportedly raised DDR5 memory prices by as much as 60% recently. Micron has also decided to halt its consumer memory business to focus on supplying memory for high-powered AI chips.
The reports suggest end consumers are likely to feel the effects the most.
For now, Samsung has not made anything official. But if the company does exit SATA SSDs, the report suggests SATA drives could become more expensive and harder to find than many expect.

Pakistan Tops Global Searches for Explicit Content
Pakistan continues to rank at the top globally in searches related to indecent content, despite no longer leading in actual viewership, Director General Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) Dr. Muqarram Ali said while addressing a cybersecurity seminar at the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI).
He said that following PTA’s actions, including large-scale blocking of indecent websites, a clear impact has been observed, and Pakistan is no longer at the top in terms of viewing such content. He added that Pakistan had previously ranked highest in viewership, but sustained enforcement measures have moved the country down from that position.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Muqarram Ali said the PTA is actively working on online child protection and has blocked around 1.3 million indecent websites. He stated that the authority only blocks immoral and unethical material and does not act proactively to shut down websites on its own.
He further said that the PTA often receives contradictory court orders, with one court directing the blocking of a platform while another ordering that it should not be blocked. He added that the authority is bound to follow the prescribed legal and administrative system in such cases.
Referring to the temporary blocking of Wikipedia, the PTA chief said the move triggered an international reaction, after which an inter-ministerial committee was formed to review the issue. He said that the PTA blocks websites strictly on government directives, noting that similar instructions were also issued during previous governments.
Highlighting cyber security developments, Dr. Muqarram Ali said Pakistan has emerged among the top countries in cyber security preparedness. He claimed that during the Pak-India conflict in May, Pakistan won the cyber war and that not a single Pakistani website was taken offline. He also clarified that the PTA does not collect mobile taxes, stating that this responsibility lies with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
