Listening to your feelings and moving to the creative

I don't remember when I heard about the name of innovation. Xu is the time that is still obsessed with the computer DIY, holding a second-hand sound card with a sneak peek, such as holding a fairy fruit like a sense of care and excitement; Xu is the pair of innovative little speakers PCworks 2.1, accompanied me through a whole bitter Summer; Xu is the first time to listen to the shocking impact ZEN brought to me, ZVM brought me a surprise feeling. In the impression, the voice of innovation is always warm and not cold, and it is not dry, and the Zhongzheng is peaceful.

Once in a boring situation, I started the innovative EP630 as a boring pastime. Unfortunately, this earplug did not impress me. Although some people compare it to the shark's fin of the poor, in my opinion, innovation seems to have lost its way in the field of music and lost its unique style. With the flow, it is destined to disappear into the vast waves of smoke.

Later, innovation began to strengthen their propaganda in earphones, live, air, as if they were deeply rooted in the night, there were many related discussion posts on the Internet, and they were praised and degraded. I couldn’t help but pull my sight back to innovation. . With curiosity, I was fortunate enough to get one of the headphones live.

If the first impression of the live on the photo is amazing, and the second eye is bright, then the actual live in the hand gives more feeling of exquisiteness and elegance. Although all engineering plastics are used to control the weight, whether it is the head beam connecting shaft, the connection between the wire and the unit, or the plug, the details of the innovation reflect the spirit of innovation in the manufacturing process. The elegant piano black with the surrounding mirrored silver ring, plus the earmuffs that can be fine-tuned to make it fit the head, is an ergonomic principle that reflects innovation.

After finishing the work, let's take a look at the live wear. After all, a headset is beautiful. If it is not comfortable, it is still difficult to be accepted and loved by the fans. Throughout the positioning of the live, it is similar to the ES7 with the iron triangle, the D1001 of the Dragon, the SR80 of Goethe, the DTX910 of the white tooth, and the K450 of the AKG. DTX910 I have never had a side, skipping the table. In the remaining few, I think the wearing comfort of live is NO.1. ES7 must not need to say more, is the most familiar one, the problem of the chuck is also a very headache; SR80, the problem is its head beam design, wearing the head for a long time; Tianlong D1001, the problem is relatively small, slightly Chuck, the head beam is slightly hard, the earmuffs are slightly airtight; and the problem with the K450 is that the earmuffs are too small to cover the ears, and wearing them for a long time will hurt the ears.

Live, indeed, as stated in the propaganda, it has been "can be worn easily for a long time", please pay attention to the word "easy", I tried the longest wearing time of 4 hours and 19 minutes, and then completely forgot the existence of live. I believe that the reason why the live wear is so comfortable is that it is inseparable from several features: one is that the leather pad used for the live head beam is quite soft and thick; the other is that the live head beam has a large arc and can be stretched. Longer, plus the use of breathable high-grade leather material in the earmuffs, largely solves the problem of chucks and ears in many earphones. Third, because the material of the earmuffs is relatively breathable, it will not be worn for a long time. I feel that my ears are stuffy and sweaty. Of course, the big summer is still not suitable for long-term wear. I don't think anyone will be on the hot head with a headphone out of the street.

Of course, while wearing comfort, there are some problems with live. In order to improve the comfort of the earphones, the design has abandoned the folding design, which is a bit embarrassing for the positioning of “internal and outdoor listening to beautiful music at any time”. But I don't want to hide it. I don't think anyone will give up this very comfortable headset because of the inconvenience of carrying it. Let's take a look at some of the official parameters of live:

Drive unit: 40mm neodymium magnet, composite biofibrous diaphragm

Frequency response range: 10Hz-30KHz

Impedance: 32 ohms

Sensitivity: 103dB/mW

It is not difficult to see from these parameters that live is ready to serve portable devices such as MP3. To know that the ES7, which has always been known for its easy drive, is also 32 ohms with a sensitivity of only 100 dB/mW. The live is 3dB higher than the ES7.

Taking this opportunity, I still want to reiterate that the sensitivity parameter is much more important than the impedance. There are even more extreme claims that a sensitivity of 1 dB is equivalent to doubling the impedance. Of course, this argument is too extreme, but it is not difficult to see that the sensitivity of the earphone is far more important than the impedance. Many new friends often ignore the sensitivity parameter and focus only on the impedance. The larger the impedance, the harder it is to push. In fact, this idea is wrong.

Of course, the official parameters can only be used as a reference, and the actual problems still need to be analyzed. Therefore, I prepared several front ends for live, the first one is Avery and the P20, MP3; the second is SONY's old bone, D150, CD machine; the third is Tianlong 1500AE, and Zefeng freshly baked, Just borrowed the ZP40 to audition. Music has selected such CDs: 2009 Hong Kong Advanced Audition Audition, Rubinstein's complete collection of Chopin nocturnes, and the vocal audition disc of the Iron Triangle. Covering a more comprehensive, basically can test how many pounds two live.

I also wrote in the above, live gave me the feeling: disappointment, surprise, moving, dull. Why do you say this, let me slowly come.

Disappointment: When the first opening of the live, one ear can hear that the quality of the unit used is indeed high, wide sound field, accurate positioning, it is like being in the field, it is no wonder that innovation will use "Live" for this Name the headphones. However, listening carefully, but I really disappointed him, the voice is weak and weak, the tri-band is blurred, the analysis is poor, the sound is dirty, and the tooth is heavy. Almost let me want to pick it up and throw it aside. In fact, I did do this.

The quality of the unit has been recognized by me, so I think it is the reason that the new live is too oyster, which makes the listening experience so disappointing, and the live after opening should have a lot of room for improvement. So I decided to adopt a sly way, try to run live in a short time. The specific method is actually very simple. Plug in the company computer and play it continuously 24 hours a day. In fact, I have always hated doing this. I have always advocated the use of drugs, that is, natural paralysis. Although the sputum medicine is effective, it will inevitably cause some damage.

Surprise: I didn't touch live for a whole few days. When I was busy with the work at hand and remembered it, live had quietly lie on the computer for 8 or 9 days. Pick it up again, put it on, and press the play button. The music slowly flows out from the live, still the sound field of admiration, still accurate positioning, but this time, there is something different.

The bottom of the sound is much cleaner, the burr is less, and the tooth sound is well controlled. The amount of low frequency is obviously increased, and the texture is strengthened. It is no longer the dirty mess before the attempt, but is scattered and orderly. There is a clear improvement in flexibility and depth, and the drum sound finally frees me from the trouble of hearing the sound of the drums. The texture of the intermediate frequency has also become smooth, although there are still some tooth sounds, but the overall has not affected the sense of hearing. Whether it is vocals or sounds of instruments distributed in the intermediate frequency, they are more hydrated and not dry. But the sound is not heavy, not even enchanting. In terms of sound, it can be said that innovation is to adhere to its own style.

Zhongzheng Pinghe, the voice of innovation is always very positive, without too much modification, no messy rendering, just lubricate the original sound, making the sound of the sound sound more moving. Moving, not catching people, although not able to grab the human ear in the first place, but can bring the most comfortable sensory experience in long-term listening. The ills of live are still in the high frequency. Xu is the intention of the tuner, and the high frequency is over-expressed, which is inevitable.

I have already said before, look at the official parameters of live, I feel that this headset will not be difficult to push. However, the actual actual problem really needs actual analysis. The fact is that live is not easy to drive. Note that the drive is "good". It’s not difficult to make a sound. Basically, the thrust of several front ends is getting bigger and bigger. The first is the P20. The thrust of this hard drive is much larger than the average flash MP3, and then the D150. This thrust is similar to the D50, and then the machine, so there is no need to say more.

I was very dissatisfied with the effect of Live's direct push on the computer, especially the high frequency part, which was almost weak and disappeared. When connected to the P20, because the style of the P20 is more in tune with the live, it feels much better than the computer. When switching to the D150, the live obviously has a big improvement, the tri-band is clearly separated, and the high-frequency performance has also improved. However, the sound of the D150 is harder, and it is not as hydrated as the P20. And when it was put on the platform, it can be said that live played its original strength. It's hard to imagine that a 1000-in-one earphone can have such qualities. The sound field is only slightly worse than the W1000 I have at hand. Even the low-frequency elasticity is better than the W1000. The only thing that remains is the high-frequency extension.

After moving, I gradually became dull. In the live, I have re-visited the innovation that insists on my unique musical concept. There is no shortage of dragons in the Chinese market, and I hope that one day I can see innovation stand out.
