Xiaomi style Hi-Fi new headphones + Note sound quality first test

IT168?Comment millet every time to open the conference get a big bunch of people climax, such as this time the annual new conference. How to say it, this time millet following the piston headset and the previous DiracHD cooperation, finally is no longer covered up, but completely and utterly out of the Hi-Fi signboard. As we all know, a while ago the Meizu, and VIVO have released their own Hi-Fi music phone, and this time Xiaomi's Hi-Fi out, in the end, how much firepower? We might as well take a look at it.

First look at millet this time Hi-Fi are a what, first of all, this time the new flagship, millet Note on the Hi-Fi level audio design, including the use of each are using the ES9018K2M and other chips, including the use of. Secondly, the design and manufacture of the millet headset by the plus one Lianchuang, 50mm beryllium diaphragm, interchangeable earmuffs design, perhaps it can be understood that this headset is the official recommendation of the millet Note supporting headphones ~

So let's take a look at this time the headset, still by the plus one Lianchuang R & D and manufacturing, this millet headset, uh, simply we call him Mi Da ear! (Forgive my low literary literacy ...... and laziness!!!) The MiDaEar is a headset that has been developed and manufactured by Xiaomi. The many designs of the Mi-Daer actually do not have to go as far as the launch of the said that much care, after all, this aspect of the highest realm is: "good to listen to on the line," that to the Mi-Daer performance how it? Or let me continue to blind drag it!

▲Semi-open design

First, the sound, the overall sound is stimulating and enthusiastic, with good dynamics and transients, the details are also very prominent, for the previous has been in the use of the iPhone comes with headphones for the people, this headset with the first time will inevitably feel the obvious gap. Three-frequency aspect is indeed become balanced some, compared to the previous piston, this MiDa ear is indeed more Hi-Fi.

▲Overall appearance display

The above is the first ear impression, if we take a detailed look at it, we can also find a lot of highlights, the low-frequency diving general, but the elasticity is good, the amount of overtones is just right, for the performance of the sense of music to be able to aptly show out, if you use to listen to the cello feel a little bit of toxicity, in the performance of the pop music is good, the drums are very clear, the bass is very clear, the drums are very clear, the bass is very clear, the drums are very clear, the bass is very clear. The rhythm is very clear, and the bass is not overshadowed.

▲50mm beryllium diaphragm design

Midrange frequency instruments feel a little bit backward, there will be some covered feeling, the conjunction is also relatively thin, density and thickness of some of the missing, but the opposite of the performance of the human voice, vocal prominence, although there is still a head in the effect, but the human voice is more cohesive, give a person a sense of smoothness, while both the relaxation The vocal is more cohesive, giving a sense of fluidity and tension, which is a plus for emotional performance.

▲With headphones connected to the part of the 2.5mm interface, and access to the phone is the standard 3.5mm

▲Wire control looks like a three-button In fact, it is just a button

And the high-frequency aspect can not be said to be so perfect, although the quality of the good, high-frequency is also very bright, but the feeling of a little bit crushed, some deliberate, as if in order to let everyone more clearly aware of the existence of high-frequency, and so on, and so on, the sound of the sound. It's like a special treatment to make people realize the existence of high frequencies. So it's a little unnatural, but for first-time users of high-end headphones, the sound will be very pleasing to the ear, and it's a pleasure to listen to.

▲Both adapters are included

Beyond the three frequencies, this MiDAR is also noteworthy, the soundstage is small, but the positioning is not chaotic, so the sound is also full of order. The overall sound completion has been considered good, and can be said to be in the domestic headset in the better sound. The sound outside the aspect of this headset is really conscientious, portable bag, portable bag, 3.5mm to 6.5mm adapter, airplane adapter have, with quite complete.

▲The full set of accessories together

In fact, just now there is a little bit of intentionally did not say, this is two kinds of ear cover replacement. In addition to the compression ear cups, MiDaEar also offers wrap-around ear cups, and the two types can be replaced at will, which is very simple, and by replacing the ear cups, you can make certain adjustments to the wearer as well as the sound. The advantage of the compression ear type is smaller, more convenient to carry, and wear compared to the wrap-around ear type to be a little worse, in addition to the low-frequency will also have a certain enhancement. While the over-ear type although larger, but wear a lot more comfortable, so the choice of the two types of earmuffs can be said to be benevolent, wise to see the wisdom of it. (The original factory headset on the pressure ear type earmuffs)

▲Twist that can be removed

Summary: This rice big ear, millet headset priced at 499 yuan, or a very conscientious product, in the crowd of domestic headphones have a very strong competitiveness, even if and the AKG or Senghai such an internationally renowned brand! Compared with AKG or Sennhei such internationally recognized brands, at this price point can also be a fight. With the relatively is designed for the first burn white design tuning and good workmanship design, we can say that this millet headset is worth buying.

New flagship to bring Hi-Fi sound quality Xiaomi Note sound quality details:

This time the Xiaomi Note, this flagship phone also hit the cell phone Hi-Fi banner, the acoustic architecture of the Xiaomi Note uses various shouting we want to play Hi-Fi cell phone manufacturers are using the ES9018K2M Decoder chip, this chip is a castrated version of the top decoder chip ES9018, which does have top decoding ability among portable devices. Secondly, it also uses two ADA4896 and two OPA1612 front and rear stage op-amps, which is basically similar to the architecture of the VIVO X5Max a while ago, but the pile of material is undoubtedly more adequate. And it is worth noting that this Note also uses a dual crystal to achieve more accurate clock control. But in terms of configuration, Xiaomi does remain feverish, with the materials given a good deal.

▲A part of the audition headphones out for a group photo ~

However, about the sound, the most said sentence should be: audio is a very subjective thing, simply improve the quality of the sound, does not mean that the sound is good, or rather, does not mean that a higher quality of the sound will be able to carry more of a piece of music's soul. The hardware design is undoubtedly to hard, and tuning is to decide whether to let everyone like the fundamental, we also got the first time this millet Note, then we here to see the editor as a "senior" audio enthusiasts for this Note sound what evaluation it:

▲M50X Vocals are also softer and generally sound good. Compared to previous products, there is a significant improvement. Background blackness is a bit worse than expected, giving the impression that the circuitry may not have done enough to shield the signal, but it's still a significant improvement.

In terms of thrust millet this Note is still relatively weak, open Hi-Fi mode is basically equal to the iPad Mini, compared to VIVO's X5Max to be a little worse, not to mention and the MX4 Pro Meizu ratio, of course, the phone is overly concerned about the thrust of the problem of the purely serious, just mention it.

▲Hi-Fi mode on can be independently controlled volume enhancement

EQ, Note is still very good, although in the open Hi-Fi mode can not use the equalizer with the meters, but and Dirac HD Sound cooperation of the meters does have its own unique features, for those better push earbuds, may wish to consider turning off the Hi-Fi mode,. Instead, you can get the best listening experience by choosing different options with different styles of songs from MiTone.

▲Standard 3.5mm port Unfortunately, it's still on the top end of the phone

It looks and feels like the Xiaomi Mi Note's Hi-Fi is still pretty good, but it's not really as good as expected, and there are a few problems:

More and better stacking, but no obvious advantage to listening.

Compared to the previous burst of Meizu and VIVO, Xiaomi Note is the last to debut, in terms of circuitry is really one of the best to do, however, the actual listening experience, won over the Meizu but failed to exceed VIVO, one can not help but wonder if it is really and VIVO to do Hi-Fi for a much longer time longer?

▲When it comes to playback, the volume is really enough for square dancing, and the sound quality is

Sound is spot on, but what about the files?

At this point, VIVO and Xiaomi were surpassed by Meizu, which is really ashamed of the importance it attaches to non-destructive music, and many of the non-destructive music in its music store is genuinely inexpensive, although it charges a fee, which is undoubtedly very attractive in terms of volume as well as speed of updating. However, Xiaomi's music is still cooperating with Baidu Music ...... Honestly, I'd recommend going with NetEase Cloud Music, and those high-quality 320K MP3s will satisfy most people's ears.

About the Note's sound let's just say this, and for the phone, in fact, Hi-Fi is just a icing on the cake, why? Let's scroll down a page and take a look at some of the editor's opinions.

Hi-Fi first battle headset phone sound quality first test summary:

After seeing these two products, there may be a lot of people who have questions about why the recent cell phone manufacturers have frequently started to pay attention to the field of Hi-Fi? Is it because Meizu started out as an MP3 player, VIVO went to play Hi-Fi in order to differentiate itself from the rest, and Xiaomi came in because it wanted to be fully audiophile? (This page is about to enter the state of graphic irrelevance, focusing on the display of millet headset details)

In fact, in the last two years, we can see the rise of audio products in a variety of electronic exhibitions, the earliest is the Beats hit, so that everyone understands the headset there is such an expensive, and when everyone is interested in this, but also gradually understand that, in fact, the sound quality of Beats is not very good, and there are many sound products, and the sound quality of the headphones, and the sound quality of the headphones, the sound quality of the headphone, the sound quality of the headphones, and the sound quality of the headphones. There are a lot of products that focus on sound, plus these two years everyone has a little bit of spare money in hand, three or four hundred headphones are really not expensive, buy a try try. As a result, Beats began to do sound, AKG and Sennhei these old manufacturers began to focus on the appearance, and finally the headset market rose significantly, a number of manufacturers have been developed to a certain degree of gluttony on. And this is the big head, naturally, is the cell phone manufacturers, after all, many people are using the phone to listen to songs well.

But the phone itself can listen to the song ah, why is the phone Hi-Fi is necessary? Are there so many people care about sound quality? In fact, with the feet can also think out: no. But can not do, the development of cell phones has reached a certain realm, every cell phone is long a same, have a similar experience, have almost the same function, then how can we stand out? To do individual people do not have the chant ...... so the concept of Hi-Fi was taken out. The first one will have a second one, and in the end, everyone will not be willing to fall behind, so everyone will have to come in to play a foot.

So, the nature of cell phone Hi-Fi is actually the icing on the cake. If you have time, you may want to ask your friends around you how much they want to listen to songs on their cell phones, and most of them may give answers similar to those that can be heard on the line. The general public for Hi-Fi this concept itself is fuzzy, let alone to specialize in the pursuit of it? And from the perspective of the entire audio industry, more cell phone manufacturers to enter the field of Hi-Fi is actually a better thing, after all, in the purchase of a cell phone with Hi-Fi level playback capabilities, there will be a certain percentage of people will naturally born to find a better headphones to match the idea, thus producing a certain positive effect on the industry as a whole.

Then again, Xiaomi this time into the Hi-Fi influence may be greater, because the current promotion effect, Xiaomi's energy is still very strong, not to mention the main target group will be young, this part of the population of the consumer capacity is not low, and for the preferred things with high enthusiasm, so if once in this part of the population to develop a The first step in the process is to develop the "believers", then a series of products can be launched smoothly and harvest good results.

Ramblings will not say more, in general, millet this time began to do Hi-Fi for users, and did not let them for this to bear more prices, so both for the market, or users, is a good thing, as for the launch of the headset, 499 yuan, is also in line with the first burn want to experience a good headset user's budget, so interested in buying back to try! It is also quite good.
