What can move people more than innovation? It should be a return. Return means picking up what you have put down, re focusing on your earliest foothold, and re finding your style. Meizu MX4 Pro is such a return, returning to music, returning to original heart, Welcome Back， Meizu.
Meizu's return to music this time is obviously not just a slogan. In terms of mobile phone music, the pioneer Vivo has raised the sound quality of its mobile phones to a very high level. The use of various professional chips and the continuous innovation and accumulation of tuning have made Vivo firmly sit on the throne of the king of mobile phone sound quality, Meizu MX4 Pro emerged as a challenger. It also used professional audio chips, and its long MP3 manufacturing experience before making mobile phones was also Meizu's accumulated capital. Maybe Vivo really met an opponent today.
MX4 Pro has chosen the combination of ES9018K2M+OPA1612 this time, of which ES9018K2M is no stranger to us. This decoding chip is famous for its excellent quality, while the appearance rate of OPA1612 is relatively low.
On Meizu's official website, the introduction of OPA1612 is just a paragraph and a picture, which can be summed up as "better than OPA2604". As for other materials, such as ceramic film capacitors, high-precision low-temperature drift resistors, and their own patented passive filtering technology, the MX4 Pro really looks like that.
It doesn't mean much to set parameters. In addition, the PDF on the official website of Deyi is also in a mess. It's a headache, so you'd better use your ears to receive the goods. After all, what kind of materials you use is one thing, and the sound you make is another thing. If the sound is bad, the materials you use will be useless.
In terms of file format support, MX4 Pro is relatively comprehensive, supporting FLAC APE、AAC、MKA、OGG、 MIDI、M4A、AMR， But there is no MP3 format?
In the actual test, the MX4 Pro actually supports MP3 format, which should be an oversight on the official website. The Meizu official website also owes you the maximum support of each format for what kind of documents. The format used is basically a bit confusing.
In addition, The most appreciated function on the MX4 Pro is the software gain switch. In the phone settings, users can choose to use high gain or low gain, or let the phone choose by itself. However, in actual use, if you manually adjust from low gain to high gain, you need to turn off the music player and plug in the headset again, otherwise it will not work. I don't know whether it is an example.

The overall sound trend of the MX4 Pro is quite different from that of the Vivo's X5 Max and Xplay 3S, The MX4 Pro is a true quality stream. Its overall voice focuses on reflecting its own high quality, which is different from Vivo's emphasis on soft and delicate voice. The MX4 Pro's voice can be called fierce, and its low-frequency diving and high-frequency extension are very excellent. Considering that it is a mobile phone, its overall quality can be described as amazing.
When matching with the W4R, the MX4 Pro itself has a slightly harsh style and the warm voice of the W4R can be well balanced. When using a high gain setting, The MX4 Pro can produce quite strong thrust. The overall sound has a strong sense of power. The tri frequency can be played and played freely. The low frequency rebound speed is very fast. It can also control the voices of Maria Kelly and Celine Dion that are difficult to control, The high frequency of W4R, which is a little darker, can also be brightened. The overall sound is a very positive average sound, and there is no obvious weakness in quality.
MX4 Pro The performance of musical instruments is quite brilliant, and the strong analytical power and thrust ensure that the overall sound has a very excellent performance in detail, which is obvious in the works of Kushirang and the Women's Twelve Orchestras. All kinds of musical instruments are clear, flexible and crisp, without mutual interference and cover up. The sound of zither plucking is clear and audible. In Faye Wong's "Sky", the tremor The scraping between the pick and the guitar string, as well as the singer's breath and mouth sound can be clearly restored. It is a pleasure to enjoy the instrument with the EX1000, a high resolution headset.
The sound field positioning junction of the MX4 Pro is also very good. The size of the sound field mainly depends on what earphones are used. If you plug in a 535, the MX4 Pro sound field will not be too big. This is also obvious when it is used with the M50, The M50 itself is a strong sense of monitoring, and the sound field is narrow. There is no way to do this. As for Meizu's official configuration EP21HD, this combination is quite good. The MX4 Pro can slightly compensate for the general attributes of the EP21HD's low-frequency diving and high-frequency extension, and the EP21HD can also make up for the lack of a relatively flat voice of the MX4 Pro.
Is there a defect in the sound of the MX4 Pro?
Yes, of course, and quite obvious.
Personally, I think the overall tuning of the MX4 Pro is a little too outstanding. The performance of the instrument is really great, and the analytical power is amazing (but if you want to say how gorgeous the instrument is, it can't be said that it is just the charm of the high-quality itself). But the voice of the MX4 Pro is too straightforward, peaceful and plain, For Zhang Huimei's three slightly sad songs, The voice of the MX4 Pro can not render enough atmosphere. Singers' singing gives me a personal feeling that I and the singer are sitting at both ends of the same table, and they are talking to me without expression. Compared with the style of the Xplay 3S, the style of the ZX1 is much better. As for the ZX1, it feels like two people sitting on a bench, whispering and sighing, Therefore, the MX4 Pro may not be suitable for players who like the infectious voice.
Does it work with headphones that pay attention to voice? Yes, there is one thing. For example, when appreciating Faye Wong's singing voice with Innovative Air, the ethereal feeling is really good, but it is still not delicious. The style is a little strange when paired with Astrid AX7, which focuses on female voice.
In addition, when the MX4 Pro uses the high gain gear, there will be a slight background noise. Although it is really very slight, and it will not occur when the low gain gear is used, this cost is not a big deal in consideration of obtaining strong thrust and outstanding analytical power, Just think you should know。
In terms of suitable music types, the author personally thinks that the MX4 Pro is suitable for pure music (which is a bit like the feeling of vivo X1 when it first came out). Of course, people who have voices can not listen, but the appeal brought by the voice is not good enough in front of the performance of MX4 Pro's musical instruments. If you listen to Live, as long as you match the earphones, you can feel the scene very well and very powerful.
It is easy to match the MX4 Pro with earphones. As long as the earphones themselves are not bad, the sound will be good. The author personally recommends using a slightly warm plug. Otherwise, the overall sound may be too harsh, and the hearing endurance will be discounted. In addition, thanks to the abundant power of the MX4 Pro, it is also possible to choose a high-end earplug to match, As for large headphones, it's better not to force a mobile phone, and try to choose one that is easy to push.
As for ordinary users, buying an EP21HD is naturally the most appropriate and cost-effective choice. EP21HD and MX4 Pro have the so-called "suit" attribute bonus, and the overall sound is quite in tune with each other. In addition, EP21HD also has the practical function of adjusting the volume by wire. Meizu also works hard to do so.
Summary:
Seeing that the MX4 Pro has chosen to return to music, the author is prepared to order 32 likes. After all, Meizu itself starts from music and should return to music. Although I have complained about the lack of "flavor" in the voice of the MX4 Pro above, as a very unique style, Meizu cannot be said to be wrong. After all, standing at a fork in the road, everyone chooses a different direction, Even the X1 of Vivo, the leader of music mobile phones at present, is still quite green in tuning. It is very good that Meizu's first mobile phone with dominant sound quality can perform like this. In the current environment where domestic mobile phones are generally impetuous, It is not inappropriate for the MX4 Pro to be a pioneer with high quality and "tall" tuning. If Meizu can improve the tuning and form its own unique style in the future, it would be great.
Finally, for Meizu returning to music, the author is willing to smile and say "Welcome Back".
