11 headphone counts sum up their own fever experience

Since I switched to the big headphones in 2010, I have been playing a lot of headphones, so I hope to send a post to share with you, in order to let everyone know the quality of some of the works of the big manufacturers and the style of tuning, so that When you buy headphones, it is more targeted.

Sony XB800

That is, the domestic XB900, XB800 is the US line model. The biggest feature and advantage of this earphone is good comfort + strong sound insulation, and its sound insulation is no less than the active noise reduction effect of some brands. The low frequency of the head makes it an artifact of listening to the music. A small improvement to the old XB series is the clearer mid-high frequency. The slightly prominent mid-range makes the vocals hard to be overwhelmed by the violent low-frequency, so it has the qualities that this price should have. However, considering that this price has an artifact like the American AE2, the price/performance ratio is not very high.

Evaluation: wear good-looking, street artifact

Philips L1

I have never heard of Philips headphones before buying this headset, but I am looking forward to this brand. I think that a non-known earphone brand like Philips needs to have a sincere work and a high price/performance ratio in the market of enthusiasts. L1 didn't disappoint me. The biggest highlight of this headset is the excellent workmanship. After more than seven years of fever, I have never seen such a pleasing workmanship. Even the anniversary editions such as ESW10 and A100 have been blown out. The tuning of the earphone belongs to a gentle and soft style. No frequency band is prominent and stimulating, so it is more versatile and has higher HIFI. On the comprehensive quality, it is difficult to have the right one at the price of 2000.

One ear toxicity: low

Music adaptation surface: wide

Suitable for music type: all except metal

Ultimate PRO2900

At the moment, I have heard the flagships of the two series, HFI2400 and PRO2900, respectively. The ED series has not heard of it. However, for these two series (the ED series is too embarrassing), the ultimate sound is an extremely twisting and stimulating tuning, which is characterized by: a large amount of low-dive low-frequency, extremely prominent, hard-bang intermediate frequency, and metallic sense. Strong, almost no high frequency of overtones. The S-LOGIC+ technology creates an illusion that the sound field is large, but the shape of the sound field is not natural and the orientation is poor. In short, this headset is like the beauty pictures on the Internet that are exaggerated by P. There is no HIFI. This style has made the tri-bands very clear, but it seems to be irrelevant. There is no connection at all. From the other brands of headphones, suddenly switching to the ultimate headphones, it feels like opening a certain sound effect in the player. Having said that, the ultimate personality has won a group of cult loyalty to it. So as a headphone enthusiast, if you don't listen to the extreme voice, you should say that the burning route is still incomplete.

Tianlong A100

The headset model of the Centennial series. The sound is the classic pure Japanese-style dragon sound, known as the last Tianlong sound. The turbulent low-frequency quality is both good, the mid-range is a little far away, and the high-frequency is as silky and smooth as the Dove chocolate - this headset does not hide its identity as a warm-smelling chicken. But what should this earphone be used to listen to? popular? The low frequency is qualified, but the speed is slightly slower and the vocals are slightly farther. classical? The low-frequency rumble is slightly worse. In fact, many Tianlong buddies have their own set of arguments. As a non-Tianlong party, I don’t have much to say. But as far as the A100 is concerned, I think it is still very good to listen to some lazy jazz. The warm tone is matched with a lazy vocal. Moreover, the winner of this headset is not the quality, but the ease of pushing. Plugged in IPC will be able to launch 100% of the potential, plus the appearance of the wooden shell of Liang Sao, is it not a street artifact?

AKG K550

Since the K550 appears in the above picture, it means two sentences. The brand of AKG, to be honest, is not very suitable for my taste. The main reason is one point: no low frequency. From playing K701 in the past, and later borrowing this K550 to listen, I found that the high-end model of this brand is indeed low-frequency, resulting in a relatively small adaptation. Many friends think that low-frequency headphones are low-end headphones, high-end headphones have low frequency, and it sounds nothing to be said. This is not right, HIFI pays attention to balance, not monopoly. Having said that, AKG's medium and high frequency is the most distinctive, and can be described with extreme exquisiteness (note that there is a difference between the feelings of the iron triangle and the flooding). If you like to listen to classical (without cello) or New Century music (or any music without low frequency), then there is nothing wrong with choosing AKG headphones. As a headphone enthusiast, I have never heard of AKG's high frequency is not complete.

Evaluation: lack of low frequency thin headphones

White tooth T90

This is my first white tooth headset. The biggest feature of this earphone is that the high frequency is bright. The quality at this price is remarkable, the low-frequency dive, the details, the image are all done in a model, compared with the PS500 in the same price, it is completely in the sound field. However, this high-frequency high-frequency is not a big deal. I don't know how much white dye is used in the middle and high frequency bands. Because this tone can't hear classical, it may be to open the gap with the flagship T1. I don’t understand T1, I have never heard of it. Because of such a bright color high frequency, T90 can be defined as a female poison earphone, which has a younger effect on the female voice, and therefore has a competitive relationship with the iron triangle (although it is still very different from the old iron female poison). . It is also worth mentioning that the head beam operation of this earphone is relatively bad, the head beam is very smooth, the scale is not good, and there is a feeling of pulling hard when pulling the head beam.

Goethe PS500

PS500 is my first Goethe headset, I bought it and I like it. Here is a summary of Goethe. Goethe is a very special kind of tuning. Although Goethe has many series, compared with other earphone brands, the common characteristics of these series are very obvious, such as the signature Goethe low frequency - quality and flexibility, and Goethe Style vocals - dry grainy. Specific to the PS500 headset - compared to the other two Goethe mentioned below - its characteristics is that the energy is significantly more concentrated in the intermediate frequency, the voice is more smooth before the sudden. The tuning of this headset is obviously not considered classical music, the intention of the main attack is very obvious. From the perspective of hard quality, it can't beat the T90 at the same price. After all, Tesla technology of white teeth is there, and Goethe is just a small cottage that is famous for tuning. However, it is this unique tuning, and specializing in popular orientation, making it one of my main headphones.

Goethe RS1

The RS1 is probably the most popular Goethe headset. The Goethe sound, which is more distinctive than the PS series, is its selling point. This headset, I talked about in the previous post, the sound of an ear is very strong, there is a spike in the PS500, but if you listen for a week or two, repeatedly use it to taste the song you have cooked with PS500, you You will find that this headset is not so listenable - or rather, it is easier to make a bad noise. Because of the strong tuning characteristics, making this headset has become a problem. Under my system, sometimes this headset is very harsh, and the vocal rush is forced to press. If there is no suitable front end, I suggest that it is better to like the Goethe sound or enter the PS500 - good service. This headset is indeed more than the PS500 in terms of hard quality. Specifically, the sound field is half a circle larger than the PS500, and the low frequency is half a meter deep. But this does not mean that the RS1 is a headset suitable for classical music - in fact, I am currently The three Goethe headphones that I heard did not have access to classical music.

Goethe GS1000i

This is the highest Goethe model I have heard so far. As the Goethe flagship before the PS1000, it must be said that this headset is indeed beyond the PS500 and RS1. Especially as the former flagship, you can hear that the tuning has also made the necessary compromises to the classical, which makes the earphones feel less popular than the PS500. However, after a long time of listening, it is still a strong quality and tuning to get the upper hand. In terms of fashion, although the intermediate frequency of GSK is much farther than the PS500, the vocal image is much stronger than the PS500. With the high-quality low-frequency sensation, huge sound field and softer high frequency, the overall listening feeling is still victorious. PS500. Classical rolling RS1 and PS500 need not say much. At this price point (with US$1,000 as the standard), this headset can be described as omnivorous. If you decide to stay at the price of 6000, then I think GSK can basically satisfy all your listening needs. Its fault, if compared with the higher-priced headphones, or the characteristics of Goethe itself - big sound, high distortion. Therefore, its classical sound is very good (all instruments are very powerful), but when you compare HD800, you know that you are weak and weak.

Denon D7100

Another Tianlong headset, this headset made some fine-tuning of the original Japanese Tianlong sound, feeling that the low frequency is not so loud before, and replaced by a kind of soft low frequency that plays cotton. If this kind of low frequency is used to listen to the classical compilation, the sound of the cello and double bass will overwhelm the sound of all other instruments, and it will be very bad for me. In the middle and high frequency, you can still hear the foundation of the Japanese dragon - exquisite and delicate, silky smooth, completely different from Goethe's rough; the voice is soft and comfortable, unlike Goethe, it will stimulate your ears. Of course, its medium and high frequency is not without problems. For example, there are still some problems in tuning. When listening to some popular music, it is obvious that it should not be in front of the orchestration. This is also in my previous post. As mentioned, it feels a bit overwhelming. I suspect that if you look at the frequency response curve, there may be some strange bumps in some frequency bands. As for the sound field, as a closed earphone, it can be regarded as a big one. This is not the title of the flagship earphone; however, the biggest problem of the Tianlong equipment, the so-called house sound, still exists on this earphone - compared with other open Headphones, listening to the D7100 is a bit like listening to music in a cave. Because the advantages and disadvantages of this headset are almost mutually constrained, after listening to this headset, I actually didn't understand what type of music it is good at, I can hear it, but it is almost the same (as a flagship headset, you can listen Not the attitude that should be there). Therefore, you want to invest in this headset as the main flagship headset friends need to think twice. I think the price of this headset is about 6000 or so.

Sennheiser HD800

HD800 is my first desktop headset in the true sense. Very embarrassing, so many headphones that I listened to after the HD800, none of them exceeded the price, so I may be biased against the HD800. However, I still like to praise the HD800 like the Berlin IF. This headset is really nice. It does not have an ear toxicity, but it has long-lasting hearing resistance. The excellent quality and loose balance of the tuning make it possible to crush the opponent without any pressure when performing all the music types, and I believe that if the system is improved, the HD800 and the other headphones above The gap will widen further. I don't want to say anything about this headset, because I prefer it and it is easier to shoot. However, since I started listening to HD800, I gradually understood some of the truths about listening, but I might as well share it with you at the end of the article:

1. If you only listen to a certain kind of music (except classical), you don't need to pursue the flagship.

The industry has a specialization, the flagship identity determines that it must take care of the classical crowd, and some of the more cost-effective flagship will give up some of the classical appeal to pursue other elements. For example, the metal of PRO2900 and the popularity of PS500. Of course, the flagship headphones are compatible with many different types of music due to their powerful tuning and hard quality. I am still most happy to listen to all types of music with the HD800. Occasionally adjust the taste with PS500.

2. The details are not only to hear the frog call a few times

The so-called detail expression is generally defined as whether it can be heard, not how much better. In fact, when it comes to desktop headphones, all the recorded sounds in the songs can be heard as long as they are focused. It is just that the different headphones have different sounding curves, and the details are easier to hear. It is different. Just like the D7100 mentioned before, it will push all the small details that you don't care about in front of you. In fact, this is not an advantage. I believe that the image, not only the level of sound reproduction, is a more important indicator of quality. For example, HD800's restoration of vocals is much stronger than Goethe.

3. Do not be blinded by the toxicity of an ear

A thorough understanding of a headset is the need to listen to familiar music in a familiar system, which can be formed within a week or a month. If you can't decide to listen to a headset with your familiar equipment in your familiar environment, but constantly plug and unplug two headphones in a headset store, then you can't get any inspiration. of. Many earphones are very personal due to the tuning, and the toxicity of one ear is very large, and some of the more converging earphones are dwarfed. In addition, many of the characteristics of headphones, such as the image, sound field, etc., are time to slowly taste the experience. If I use the AB method to select the PS500 and RS1, I think I will definitely choose RS1, but after a long listening, I know my real needs, but I will choose the PS500. In the same way, if I use the HD800 and GSK to compare the performance of the popular, I think I will not hesitate to choose GSK. But after listening to hundreds of hours, I realized the beauty of the HD800's tuning. Just like falling in love, the momentary passion can't represent anything. Only after a long time of getting along, can you know if this person is an object of marriage.
