When talking about "Quantie" earphones, we have to mention AKG's K3003, which is almost the benchmark of earphones as the imaginary enemy of various products. After a long period of development, Quantie earphones have also shown a trend of letting a hundred flowers bloom. Wang Feng's FILL has also launched Quantie earphones BESTIE with the stream. How about its experience? Let's have a look.
Compared with other headphone products, which pursue luxury and grand packaging, the packaging of FIIL BESTIE is relatively "delicate", and the front of the packaging has a slogan of "FIIL ME NOW".
Open the outer package, and there is a slogan inside that seems ideal but a little abrupt.
The logo of Lou's Knowles is printed on the side of the package, indicating that it uses the moving iron unit of the company. Compared with the domestic moving iron unit of other products, the cost is much higher. BESTIE uses Lou's high-frequency moving iron unit WBFK-30095, and the cost of using two units will exceed 100 yuan.
Continue to open the package, you can see the shape of the FIIL BESTIE. The shell of the headset is made of metal, and the brand logo is printed on it.
In terms of appearance, BESTIE is not very distinctive. It uses a combination of black and metal blue (as well as red and silver). In terms of wire material, it uses the "noodle" line, which reminds us of Beats' products.
There is a black filter screen on the tube, especially the tube is oval, but the edge of the plastic tube is not so smooth.
There is an air hole beside the conduit, which is set for the moving coil unit. BESTIE uses a double unit structure of one moving coil and one moving iron unit.
The remote control part is made of plastic, but it is sprayed with the same metallic blue color as the headphone shell, with a playback button and volume adjustment. However, the remote control is only suitable for Android phones, and iPhone cannot use the volume key and some combination of media keys.
Four pole gold-plated 3.5mm interface.
The accessories included with the headset, like the packaging, are too simple. There are only three pairs of silicone covers and earphones in total, one simple cloth bag. Such accessories are not even as good as some products worth one or two hundred yuan. It's a bit unreasonable. The manual also lacks some necessary product parameters, such as the impedance and sensitivity of earphones.
Next is the most important experience:
Wearing: The silicone sleeve used by BESTIE is called "liquid silicone earplug", which is comfortable from the material point of view, but it is easy to loosen after wearing. Therefore, we can consider replacing earplugs made of other materials. Noodle line will not have any adverse effect on wearing, but stethoscope effect is relatively serious, "active" students may find it difficult to accept, and also slightly cumbersome in vision.
Ease of push: BESTIE itself is relatively easy to push, and it can play a good role by using a mobile phone with a larger push force. If we use some walkman with high thrust (we use DX100 and LP5 gold as the front end of the audition), BESTIE will have a significant improvement in the overall control of sound, and the sound will be more smooth. However, compared with some multi unit dynamic iron earphones, we still need to increase the volume to feel that there is enough sound pressure.
Sound: As a headset, we think that the sound performance is still the first. The sound quality of the FIIL headworn gives us a good impression. What about BESTIE? As far as the sound style is concerned, BESTIE is the same as the FIIL headphone. In general, BESTIE tends to be more popular, focusing on medium and low frequency performance. The first feeling is that the feeling of low frequency is enough, but it is almost hot when diving. The mid-range voice is relatively close, so it can be heard that the tuning of FIIL has purposely strengthened the expressive force in this respect, but its slightly thick sound background makes it more sensitive than the female voice in expressing the male voice. Another problem is that the dental sound of BESTIE is obvious, which needs more attention in the cooperation of the front end. High frequency is a bit dry and prickly, and it is not very natural to connect with intermediate frequency. The sound field size is moderate, and the analytical power is commendable. From the sound point of view, BESTIE is a "popular plug" made to cater to the mass market. Maybe the enthusiasts don't think HiFi, but it sounds good. However, this style of earphone also faces a problem. If it is matched with some front end which is also in the direction of mid low frequency (for example, Meizu PRO 5 used in our test), it will lead to the problem that the low frequency is too thick, and the sense of low frequency will be difficult to accept. Therefore, when using this earphone, we should choose some earphones with greater thrust, The tuning is balanced or on the front end of the middle and high frequencies.
As the first FIIL to set foot in the headphone industry, it has won the attention of many people with Wang Feng's personal influence. From the perspective of the product itself, FIIL BESTIE is a popular music oriented headset for Android phones, which is more suitable for ordinary users. From the perspective of sound quality, it is still competitive with the price of 599 yuan, but it seems to be inexperienced in some product design details and accessories. As far as the author is concerned, the surprise brought by this headset is not as big as that of the FIIL headset.
