Foreword: Personally, I am very picky about earphones. From the appearance, appearance and quality of the product, these are the conditions I consider when purchasing earphones. At present, domestic earphones are famous for their cost performance. You can buy a headset with good cost performance at a price less than 100 yuan. Recently, Qiku has released a new earphone, This earphone features a more durable Zinc alloy. At present, this earphone should also be the first one made in China to use zinc alloy earphones. Then what about this earphone? I believe you should want to know. Let's review it together!
The package of Qiku Zinc Storm Headset is very simple. It is packed in a white paper box, and the front is the logo of Qiku. There is nothing special about the whole model from the outside, but some product information is printed in other parts of the package in great detail.
After opening the package, you will find that the Qiku Zinc Storm Headset has adopted The inner and outer packing boxes are different from the outer packing, and the black cardboard shell with strong hardness is used Qiku zinc storm earphones are quietly placed in a black sponge. From the packaging, it can be seen that this earphone will not be damaged due to extrusion during transportation.
According to the picture above the crowdfunding, the Qiku zinc storm earphone should be divided into two colors, one is black and the other is white. In addition, I want to tell you that this earphone is a commemorative version of Qiku curious people's trial, so the earphone's cavity shell is all hand polished, so it may cause some roughness in the later product detail evaluation, and I personally asked for advice Product Manager of Qiku Zinc Storm Headset. He said that the zinc storm earphones sold in the future would never be hand polished, let alone rough!
At present, most earphones on the market are made of aluminum alloy, while Qiku zinc storm earphones are made of more abrasion resistant zinc alloy The zinc storm earphones are not careless. In addition, the wires of the zinc storm earphones use the common noodle wires. Choosing such wires can effectively prevent the headphone wires from winding. Intuitively, the first impression of the zinc storm earphones is that the metal is very competitive. Users are not as vague as other earphones. They use some plastics and some metals.
The back part of the chamber of the zinc storm earphone is designed with distinctive features. The spiral edges and corners are a bit like a tornado, which is exactly The origin of the meaning of the zinc storm earphone, and the distinguishing mark of the left and right positions of L R is printed in the center of the corner, instead of printing the position distinguishing mark directly on the earphone like other earphones The zinc storm earphone is very careful, because the carved design will not be worn away in daily use.
The zinc storm earphone uses a nano diaphragm coating. Of course, we cannot see the inner diaphragm from the outside. Although it is a trial version, we can still see the inner diaphragm from the earphone cavity Metal mesh I can feel the careful design of this earphone, and the design of the metal mesh is a bit similar to the shower nozzle. The spacing between the holes of the metal mesh is designed very neatly. Even for the commemorative version, it is not difficult to see the careful work of this earphone.
Zinc storm headset The appearance design of the earphone is a bit like a hair dryer, but why not make the "handle" below the earphone cavity into a straight line instead of a diagonal line, perhaps to enable the wearer to better touch the earphone at any time, so as to find the most comfortable way to wear it. In addition, this \The "handle " and the headphone cavity are integrally formed. You are right, and they are metal integrally formed. Most headphones will design the part connecting the headphone cable as plastic instead of metal, but Zinc storm The earphone may be designed for a longer time in the future, so it adopts a metallized integrated shell design. If you carefully taste the whole earphone, there are still many details. In addition, the earphone cavity shell may be the same as the commemorative version in the future, using the sanding process, and the front end is designed with bright polishing. According to the characteristics of zinc alloy, it is unknown whether the bright edge design will produce scratches in future use.
As for the appearance of the earphones, I believe you should feel how the design of the zinc storm earphones is. Now let's look at the design of other parts. The zinc storm earphones have a remote control design, and also support microphone voice. On the online control side, there are Qiku's logo and Mack Wind.
The other side is the main key of the remote control. The zinc storm earphone uses the standard three button remote control. Like the remote control of other earphones, the middle is used for playing pause, while the call is answered and ended. The addition and subtraction of the two sides are the previous song, the next song, and the increase and decrease of the volume. The design of this part has no noteworthy highlights for everyone to evaluate, However, it is hoped that in the later stage, it will be better to create a lot of attractive remote control button functions with Qiku mobile phones.
There is a very big gap in the middle of the remote control button of this commemorative version, which may be because it is a trial product, and this part has not been carefully designed yet. I hope this gap can be solved during mass production. Considering that the earphones are all polished manually, this part will not be urgently handled in order to rush to give you a try. According to previous product trials, this part may be made into an integral shape, or other materials may be used to fill the gap, so as to achieve an aesthetic effect.
The connector of the zinc storm headset uses a standard 3.5mm interface, and the interface part is also nickel plated, which can improve the antioxidant capacity of the connector. In addition, the connector part inserted into the mobile phone has a flat design, which can make it easier to plug and unplug the headset. In addition, it is made flat to protect the noodle headset cable. In addition to the bright edge design of the earpiece, the overall appearance of the earphone is frosted.
Zinc alloy is also used for the left and right channel branching of the zinc storm earphone, and the part of the take-up ring is carefully polished and chamfered, so that the earphone will not be damaged when the earphone branching is adjusted up and down. Because of the reasonable design, the ring will not run easily after the branching position is adjusted, so the design of the branching part is good.
Audio quality audition: The editor selected the top version of the Xiaomi Note mobile phone with HIFI effect. However, because everyone has different views on the sense of hearing, this headphone audio quality audition is only for personal feelings, not for everyone. However, due to the problem of evaluation time, it is recommended that this earphone should be properly warmed up to achieve the best listening effect.
The impedance of the headphone speaker is 32 ohms, the sensitivity is 98 dB, and the frequency response range is 20-20KHz. Ordinary headphones can be driven, but it seems that some mobile phones can't support it. I hope that it would be better to explain this in the mass production headphones in the future, so that users won't be unable to buy them.
After listening to the audition, I felt that the voice performance of this earphone was mellow and very expressive, which restored fairly well. When listening to some rock music, the characteristics of this earphone showed up, giving people a very clear feeling after listening, and they can clearly feel the feeling of "high pitch and rolling". The bass is very good. When listening to some sound field music, you can feel the sound field storm brought by the zinc storm earphone, which is very powerful. On the whole, for a 100 yuan earphone, the zinc storm earphone performs very well. If you can burn it for a long time, I believe it will perform better. There are not many songs that I tried to listen to, and I can't give you an accurate feeling after listening to them. But the only thing I can tell you is that this earphone performs well and is worth recommending.
As a new force in the headphone market, Qiku Zinc Storm Headset will be defeated by other domestic brands that have fixed their roots if they do not make serious efforts in sound quality, appearance, quality and price. However, since Qiku is dedicated to releasing this earphone, it must have made a lot of efforts in this earphone, And the unique appearance design can reflect the intention of this earphone, because now many earphones are emphasizing the sound quality, and the appearance is at most a piece of material, but after the real user gets it, it is still the same plastic and metal for thousands of years, while the zinc alloy material of the zinc storm earphone is dazzling, Then I hope that in the future, Qiku Zinc Storm Headset can step up its quality control, quality and after-sales checks, and step up its service reputation, so as to create an excellent headset.
Advantages: The aluminum alloy is integrally formed, and the sound quality is standard, which is good, but it still needs to be strengthened, such as the analytical power.
Disadvantages: common problems of stethoscope, appearance grinding defects? Some mobile phones cannot be pushed.
This earphone needs more modification to be perfect. Let's look forward to that day. Whether to recommend purchase: The trial commemorative version can't decide whether to recommend purchase due to various circumstances, but if the above problems are seriously repaired after waiting for the mass production version, it is still worth recommending purchase. It is quite good to make a series of sound quality modifications, software and other supporting facilities with Qiku mobile phones, and it is worth looking forward to.
