With the booming development of the earphone industry in recent years, the earphone culture has been paid more and more attention and accepted by more and more friends. The earphone has become the darling of the trend from the original small crowd of enthusiasts, which can not be separated from the efforts of industrial designers and the personal demonstration of stars. However, "entry" is also an important factor to test manufacturers. How can an ordinary user enter the headphone ring. As a large enterprise with a veteran background in the audio and video industry, JVC has always accumulated a certain reputation in broadcasting recording equipment, personal cameras and audio products. Today, we bring you the JVC XX series HA-SR100X-B headset. It seems that this headset has not been officially launched in China yet, and the listing price in Hong Kong seems to be less than 500 Hong Kong dollars. So let's see how this earphone works today.

Unpacking:

The packaging of the SR100X is not very different from that of other headphones. We can see from the packaging box that the SR100X, as an upgrade of XX series, is more in line with the style orientation of the headset in terms of packaging style, and the red and black tones complement the color matching of the headset. The red sign of "XX" on the front is particularly eye-catching. Through the product picture of the packaging box, it feels very suitable for young people today.

Taking out earphones, the author was first attracted by the smart and fashionable appearance of this black and red matching. Maybe you have seen all kinds of headphone color matching as I have, and this kind of exciting design has awakened our original intention for street style. Simplicity, fashion and fashion are my first impression of SR100X. In terms of accessories, there is a headphone cable and warranty manual.

Product details:

It is worth mentioning that there is a striking "XX" mark on the front of the headset. The HA-SR100X-B headphone does not use a metal shell to increase its selling points like many domestic entry-level headphones, but uses a relatively lightweight design of materials and lines, as well as a very striking color combination to win the favor of young people.

The inner side of the head beam is red, echoing the red sign of "XX" on the front panel, which makes the JVC HA-SR100X-B earphone visually energetic, and the sponge on the top of the head beam looks more three-dimensional and integrated. The earphone sponge cover is made of leather. The tightness of the whole sponge cover can basically adapt to most head shapes. The ear cavity can rotate freely at a certain angle at the ear bracket junction, so it will have a better fitting angle and can adapt to more different head shapes. There is no obvious feedback on the grip strength on both sides of the headset, and there is not too much ear pinch feeling when wearing the headset for a period of time. Of course, it is impossible to wear headphones for a long time without any "stuffiness".

Like many headphones, JVC HA-SR100X-B can be telescoped and folded for easy storage. Unlike many entry-level headphones, JVC HA-SR100X-B is designed with a play pause/answer end button. And a microphone built into a part on the right. In this way, JVC HA-SR100X-B has another play method, which supports the convenience of answering and making calls and playing pause music on mobile phones. It is not designed on the headphone cable but on the headphone cavity. What is interesting is that the author did not find the exact position of the microphone after searching for it. After using and analyzing, the microphone is probably in the right ear cavity, and it is initially estimated that it is next to the sign of XX. Anyway, we know from our experience that this headset is one of the few headphones that supports answering and making calls.

JVC HA-SR100X-B, as an international famous brand, is still worth considering in details. The earphones follow the good tradition that they have always had, and can be distinguished by the left and right channel marks on the ear muff shell. In addition, the bump design similar to Braille makes the distinction between the left and right channels of the earphones more specific and complete. Bring user groups closer together.

The headphone cable of JVC HA-SR100X-B adopts the straight plug and 90 ° swivel plug 4-segment plug design, which supports the use of wire control. In principle, the straight plug is used on the headphone cavity, and the corner plug is used on the mobile phone. Of course, it is also allowed to change the characteristics, but it is easy to accidentally touch and drop the headphone, which should be noted. Since JVC HA-SR100X-B uses a more lightweight and environmentally friendly organic material shell, the measured weight, together with the wire, is also controlled within the range of 211.6g. Compared with those metal shells that bring a strong sense of mechanics, only the neck pressure that is full of gravity is a relief. The material and weight of JVC HA-SR100X-B are much more scientific and reduce the burden.

Music audition:

JVC HA-SR100X-B uses a 40mm dynamic coil unit and a dual magnet structure to increase the sound performance. The method of enhancing the magnetic circuit has a great effect on the bandwidth display. Therefore, the bandwidth of the headset is in the range of 10-25000hz, and the impedance of the headset is 32 Ohms. Generally, mobile phones can also be easily pushed. In addition, the design has a call function, so it can achieve the goal of listening to music and making calls without error. The buttons support both Android and iPhone series. It can be said that they are basically not picky about the model.

This time, the author used to push the front end of JVC HA-SR100X-B, including SONY ZX1, iPhone 6s, VIVO Xshot, P8, etc. Try to listen to the effect of this new earphone through several devices at hand. JVC HA-SR100X-B can obviously feel that it is much louder than similar products at the same volume. Of course, everyone's understanding of music has a different starting point, so the author's evaluation of music performance only represents personal subjective feelings. For reference only. We chose Zhang Huimei's "Hidden Rules", Karen Mok's "Baby", "Pipa vs Sax", Eagle Band's "Hotel California", etc

Medium and low frequency performance: In terms of low frequency, JVC HA-SR100X-B has more sense of quantity, and the diving performance is relatively satisfactory. Low frequency has a sense of strength, but it is slightly too stiff. Diving down to the position has the feeling of fist to flesh. The transient performance is not only outstanding, but also has its own tuning characteristics. It is ethereal and clean.
 

Intermediate frequency performance: Intermediate frequency is always the most easily ignored, because it is not direct and shocking from low frequency, nor loud and amazing from high frequency. It is so simple and unadorned. The mid-range style of SR100X also has obvious modification. The vocal reproduction ability is good, and the resolution is slightly poor. For the performance of lyric songs, the vocal image is good.

High frequency performance: firstly, high frequency is not harsh, and there is no obvious divergence. However, the high-frequency dynamics are chaotic, and the performance of some bell like sounds is not transparent enough. The overall sound is warm. The wide range of the violin is not fully released.

Summary of sound field, dynamics and comprehensive performance: JVC HA-SR100X-B's sound is generally open and warm. The whole sound field is flat in the longitudinal direction, and the loose and stiff middle and high frequencies make it difficult to support the performance of small-scale bands in dynamic and transient state. In terms of electronic music and video soundtrack, its sound has a certain style of obvious decoration and warm atmosphere in middle and low frequencies. Suitable for pop, rock and string music. When pushing several devices, I feel that Xshot is more suitable for this earphone.

Wearing experience:

The weight of JVC HA-SR100X-B is only over 200G, so there is not too much pressure on its own weight. It is relatively easy to wear, and the earmuffs are relatively soft. After a long time of wearing, you will still feel a little pain in the ear clip. Without a large earmuff, the sound insulation and comfort will be reduced. The second is about the call function of JVC HA-SR100X-B. The first is that the microphone is located on the right ear cavity, but it is still some distance from the mouth. In fact, the voice of speech cannot be transmitted to the other party very well, especially in a relatively noisy environment. The keys designed by JVC HA-SR100X-B are very practical for mobile phones.

Summary:

This year, the XX series of JVC launched FR100X, SR100X and its Bluetooth wireless version STB200X (supporting APT-X lossless transmission) at one go, and invited the current popular rock band AWOLNATION to endorse its products; The triple band performance of JVC HA-SR100X-B earphone is generally good. It is very good to enter the door regardless of the front end. If you are a mobile music enthusiast and have a little demand for making calls, this earphone is more suitable for you. At present, domestic e-commerce websites have not seen the distribution of this product. The specific pricing is also unknown. I believe that the goods will be distributed soon. If you are interested, please pay more attention to this good entry-level headset JVC HA-SR100X-B.
