Foreword - Wang Feng did FIIl

Perhaps as more and more people's portable devices support high-quality audio sources, or perhaps people's pursuit of audio is getting higher and higher, the competition in the headphone market is not only fierce, but also tragic. Consumer grade earphones have been launched in batches and collapsed in batches. The high-end Hi end earphones are still legendary. Even Xiaomi and Meizu, who have made their debut from mobile phones, have entered the troubled waters. In addition, many music celebrities have also developed earphones of their own brands following the development model of Beats. In October 2015, Wang Feng stood on the stage of Beijing Power Cans, officially launched his earphone products, and began to expand his sidelines.

When talking about Wang Feng, Xiaobian naturally came up with such keywords as "rock and roll", "music", "amorous", "headliner" and "what is your dream". To be honest, Xiaobian didn't like Wang Feng's way of speaking (but the singer really didn't say it), so the first feeling when seeing Wang Feng coming out of headphones was that a singer was a director, With the help of relevant variety shows and self publicity, we want to sell a headset, which is called Fiil. At first, after watching the video of the press conference, the editor was not optimistic about the earphone because of Wang Feng's slow speaking rhythm, Fiil's appearance in the good voice before, and the promotional news such as its promotion of the Chinese version of Beats in China. After all, an awesome product does not need to be explained. The editor subjectively believes that this earphone will be more inclined to rock style. After an occasional chance to listen to it in an offline store, he also made a comparison with his friend's forced side scene. After comparison, he found many surprises. This time, he was lucky to have a deep experience. As Wang Feng said at the release meeting, "I'm just a newcomer in the technology industry", What about Wang Feng's new works in the scientific and technological circles? Next, we will not talk about Wang Feng, but about earphones.

Unpacking appearance - simple and fashionable, giving you intimate

The classic theory of architect Mise van der Rohe: less is more. Compared with the physical packaging of steamed buns and MDR-1a, the fashionable earphone products like Fiil are too plain. Fiil's flat packaging design and black words on a white background are crisp, without many patterns and text descriptions. Although Xiaobian can't directly see the color of the earphones inside, he still likes this minimalist packaging design.

One side of the package is the color and serial number of the product, and the other side is the equipment and related technical information supported by the product. From the perspective of the supported devices, we would think that this earphone is specially designed for Apple audio playback devices. In addition, from the earphone's own technology, we can see that Fiil supports Apt-X, but the Iphone6sp and does not support Apt-X, so this algorithm has not been evaluated in this evaluation.

In addition to functions, a product should also have a clear positioning. Wang Feng's age also has the capital to talk about feelings. The "public" in the "starting point of mass musicians" in this side of the inner box is Fiil's basic market positioning.

Open the box, a black storage bag like a pebble lies in the center, with a silver LOGO card embedded on the top and the logo of FIIl. As a designer, I feel full of creativity in both entrepreneurship and font design of this logo.

Pick up the storage bag, and a window is opened in the middle of the tray, just revealing the LOGO on the instructions. In the product packaging, we have made great efforts. Take out the storage bag tray. At the bottom are the climbing buckles, charging cables, Android data cables and instructions. It is also very considerate to take care of the IOS and Android data cables.

These accessories can be easily put into the storage bag. The various details on the storage bag are also well done. The silver Fiil logo on the front, the internal headphone slot, the wire storage network design, including the small details of the cable buckle, are exquisite everywhere.

In terms of modeling, Fiil drew on Beats' early design to focus on the young people who love music in China, and made a fashion headset that young people like. From the perspective of appearance design, FIIL has nothing to be too picky about. The extremely simple design style shows delicacy. As far as Xiaobian is concerned, he likes the simple style very much. In terms of the market, it should be able to meet the consumer psychology of the public.

Manufacturing technology - exquisite technology, touching details

What I got this time is Starlight Blue. The actual weight of Fiil Wireless is only 270g. The overall appearance of the earphone uses the frosted anodized aviation aluminum process. The texture is very good, but the metal shell is exposed and needs to be carefully bumped or scratched. The silver logo font on the surface is designed with full force.

The first impression of the two earmuffs is that they are very soft, seemingly made of genuine leather. In fact, they are the combination of protein silk skin and rebound memory cotton. The protein silk skin strengthens the protection of the skin. The speaker unit adopts the best 4cm dynamic coil unit in the industry. The external diameter of the earmuff has reached 9cm, and the internal diameter has also reached nearly 5cm. In actual wear, this size matches with soft materials, and can be adjusted to the most comfortable state according to the size of the ear when wearing. The wearing experience is far better than that of the first generation of steamed buns before Xiaobian. This part is something that Xiao Bian likes.

On the two side shells of the two units, there are two FIIl logos that are high in size. After three clicks or setting, these two logos will light up. For some students who like to be cool, one is equipped with a powerful tool.

The two unit cavities and the middle part of the earmuff are designed with dynamic air change holes, which are made of silica gel and have vertical holes around them, so that the earmuff can better fit with the head when wearing. There is no sense of pressure from ear to ear earphones, and you won't feel uncomfortable with your head and ears after using them for a long time. The two units are distributed with Bluetooth keys, headphone cable jacks, Micro USB charging sockets, status lights, logo loading lights, etc.

At the junction of the two units and the head beam, the expansion and 90 ° rotation adjustment design is adopted, which is more convenient for storage and carrying. The telescopic rod is made of hard plastic, and the joint between the two requires frequent rotation, using metal materials. Details~~See the headphone number.

The workmanship of the head beam is still more exquisite than the price. The clamping force of the head beam is 5n. When wearing, the clamping force is just right. The author tries to wear the head beam continuously for more than 3 hours, without any sense of oppression or other discomfort. The part of the head beam contacting the head is still made of protein silk skin.

The details determine the success or failure. The handover and seam between the headgear and the speaker unit of the headset are impeccable. The dynamic adjustment of the ear muff with a lead angle of nearly 1mm is accurate. This is also the result of the manufacturers using a large number of expensive materials for molds, which shows the design care everywhere.

The wire material is also a big selling point of Fiil. The headset provides IOS and Android wire materials. It uses low resistance wires and gold-plated 3.5mm plugs. The three button wire control meets the basic requirements of the public. Fiil adopts a unilateral incoming line. The headphone cable has excellent bending resistance and feel, so you don't have to worry about tying it together.

Use part - intelligent play, convenient and fast

The earphone body has a physical key, which may be very normal for first-time users, but in addition to the physical key, the external panel of the right unit integrates the basic music control operation panel, which realizes the volume, fast forward and fast backward, song cutting and other functions through the actions of the panel. The Bluetooth entity key is a multi-functional key of the body. When the machine is powered on and connected to Bluetooth, gently press it to play or pause, release it for 2.5 seconds to start siri, long press it to switch on, double click it to turn on or off the noise reduction mode, and triple click it to turn on or off the logo light. It is the same as an ordinary headset in case of a call.

The touch panel provides almost all the gestures for users to listen to music. In Bluetooth mode, slide up and down to increase or decrease the volume, and press up and down to increase or decrease the volume continuously; When playing music, the front and back conversation is the front and back cut song. When in standby mode, sliding forward and backward is the switch and listening mode, and pressing forward and backward is the fast forward and backward mode

Fiil can be divided into wired mode and Bluetooth mode. The wired mode can also be divided into two modes: power off and power on. After the small editing experience, turning on the power will obviously cause some loss of sound quality, and there will be bottom noise when the song is not played.

Fiil is fully applicable to audio source devices in wired mode, but not all devices can support Bluetooth perfectly. For example, for Ps4, Fiil shows that the connection is successful, but it cannot be used normally, and the handle can only be connected in priority mode.

In the test, the editor also found an interesting phenomenon. Fiil can connect multiple Bluetooth devices at the same time. When one device is running through Bluetooth, if another device actively plays an effective sound, the headset will switch to another device. For example, when Xiaobian connects a notebook to a mobile phone, and clicks the WeChat voice of the mobile phone when listening to music using the notebook Bluetooth, the voice of WeChat appears in the headset, and automatically switches back to the music of the notebook after the end.

In addition, some functions of the headset need to be realized in combination with Fiil+, the App client of Fiil. There are too many apps to repeat. After all, Fiil+'s app is simple and easy to understand, but it has to be said that although it is simple and easy to understand, it includes headset maintenance, adjustment, explanation, and other aspects of the headset. Its functions are very powerful, and it can kill the use of similar headphones on the App. The editor gives a brief introduction to the App section.

Fiil+mainly consists of 8 parts: earphones, earphones, authentic product verification, instructions, product introduction, registered warranty, offline stores and product information. We will introduce them in order of priority.

Headphone setting is the part that has the greatest impact on the user's listening experience. The subfunctions under this function are very rich. When pairing with the headset for the first time, you only need to follow the diagram step by step.

The style provides users with different preferences for high and low pitch, while Shengchang provides four options: grand theater, small theater, living room, and none. For example, if you prefer to listen to symphony, you can choose grand theater. If you prefer to listen to more exquisite life, you can choose living room or none. But these Shengchang are all virtual simulations, It is the sound field effect simulated by compressing or expanding the sound field and the junction image.

The firmware of the headset is upgraded via Fiil+, and the upgrade process is also very simple and convenient.

Noise reduction, as the name implies, reduces external noise. It is worth mentioning that the design of the simultaneous listening mode is striking. The principle of the simultaneous listening mode is that when listening to music, the external sound is sensed through the built-in microphone, and then click the Bluetooth button of the headset, the external sound can be transmitted to the headset through the microphone, so that users can talk without having to remove the headset, This function is quite useful in specific occasions. I think Xiao Bian likes to paint with paint or a drawing board in his hand and a brush in his other hand. With this function, you only need to click a button to solve many unnecessary actions.

When it comes to earphones, it is always a controversial topic. In view of the fact that more and more earphone manufacturers have added instructions on earphones, earphones are still more or less useful for the adjustment of earphones, which means quickly aging earphones to a mature and stable state. Previously, the earphone was mainly used to play soft music with low volume. This time, the function of earphone playing in Fiil+made me feel surprised.

Fiil+lets Xiaobai stop treating earphone burning as a mysterious process, and don't worry about the damage of earphones caused by too much high volume in the initial stage (the MDR in hand, which used to burn earphones too long at high volume, leading to the broken sound in the high volume part now). Instead, pink noise is used for a fool like process of machine burning, step by step, and the total machine burning time is 3000 hours, Xiao Bian managed to end 3000 minutes without listening or playing a few days ago. However, this is also the easy process of cooking. This must be praised.

The product description and product introduction replace all the paper instructions. If there are operational problems and specific parameter queries, it saves the tedious process of looking for instructions. In order to cater to young people, Wang Feng's team cleverly displayed Fiil's relevant videos and pictures in the product introduction, and they were full of artistic style!

Audible experience - not losing, winning the headlines

I use earphones, and I don't like to discuss the sound quality with others, because different people have different hearing sensitivity, and there is never a standard for sound quality. The author had a SONY 1MDR and a steamed bun to compare, but because he had been writing on the way on business trip, there was no comparison picture of the three in this part. He compared the three in the first few days, and then he will open a comparison article of the three separately on the Eason platform. Because I still know more about the two earphones before, I will talk about my own listening feelings in this part, just for my own listening feelings.

The test music is in APE format, and the headset settings are in default mode

As for earphones, tri band has to be talked about. This is a basic skill of earphones. The overall tuning is relatively fashionable. Low frequency is basically the same as medium frequency, and high frequency is slightly higher. After 3000 hours of warm-up, the personal feeling is that the proportion is about 3.5:3.0:3.5. The overall tuning is relatively balanced, and the tuning is relatively popular.

The low-frequency performance is good, and it can sink down. The overall feeling is relatively thick, but it is slightly inferior to the big steamed bun. In terms of the explosive power of the transient performance, I feel a little weak, and the diving rebound lacks a sense of compactness. After all, I use Iphone 6s to push. The thrust is not big, and the performance is fairly good.

The intermediate frequency processing is also more delicate. It was thought that Fiil would prefer male voices, but in fact, there is not too much preference for male and female voices. The distance sense of the vocal knot image is very beautiful. Without too much processing, everything is restored to the most authentic and more durable.

High frequency performance is OK, it can go up, but the high place is not clear enough. It seems that it has been processed. Compared with the high pitch of 1a, it is slightly worse. The processing of mid frequency high band is very good, higher than that of big steamed buns.

In terms of resolution, Fiil scored a lot. In terms of musical instruments, Fiil had a great experience and had to admire Wang Feng's team's ability to explore earphones, especially the piano, string music and violin. Compared with steamed bread, the separation between musical instruments was very good and the level of performance was rich. Readers can listen to William Tell's overture. Compared with steamed buns and 1a, the separation of musical instruments in the middle is obviously higher than the latter two. The big steamed buns will feel like they are stuck together, while 1a is a little poor in reduction due to its high analytical power. Listen to one I love. The breathing sound, throat water sound and small ending sound of the singing part are clear, and the analytical power is very beautiful, which makes people doubt whether to increase the analytical power. For example, the classic eagles hotel in california will not be repeated.

In terms of sound field, in the default off sound field environment, Fiil's junction image is relatively stable, and the sound field feels relatively broad. The sound field of earphones at the original price level cannot be completely excellent. The stability of the junction image means that the field sense will be partially compressed, and the self perception will be somewhat compressed and deformed, but there will not be too much distortion. The sound field performance is still a relatively standard semicircle

In terms of dynamics, Fiil's tri band dynamic range is not too large. As mentioned above, the low-frequency dynamic sense is not very strong. It is hard to break through the high pitch. It may be difficult for Fiil to listen to music with a strong sense of power.

In terms of noise reduction, I don't like noise reduction. Earmuffs have good coverage. They can meet the requirements for sound quality even when sliding outside. After noise reduction, it will indeed reduce external noise, but there are also corresponding changes in the sound quality, which is still different from person to person.

In addition, the playback quality of the Bluetooth connection, in a word, is far from effective distance, which is harmful, but the quality is higher than 1a in the same Bluetooth mode.

Summary - Toutiao has made a reliable product

Fiil, as a product aimed at forcing the side, how can it stand firm without some dry goods since the slogan has been put out. In addition to the care of materials and workmanship, Fiil has taken great care in design. Although there are not many highlights in sound quality, the overall level of performance is excellent. In addition, this product is only 156. This cost performance ratio makes me really unable to have too much prejudice against Fiil. I personally feel that Fiil is not a commercial product, but an exploration of spiritual values.

Fiil wireless is at the forefront of the industry in terms of workmanship, materials and sound quality, which is enough to become a benchmark product for high-end earphones in China. There are many words above. Here are some advantages of Fiil wireless for those who are not interested in picking words to quickly understand.

advantage:

1. Products with excellent workmanship and conscience;

2. The materials are excellent, and they are always considerate of users;

3. The headpiece of the headset has a great sense of expansion, rotation and damping

4. The design of installing forcing lights has greatly improved the forcing of earphones, adding more points to the appearance

5. Multi function keys and touchpad free your hand and let you do what you want;

6. The super intelligence of App makes Fiil's users no longer have any problems

7. Personally, I feel that the overall quality is very good, and I can totally afford this price

Disadvantages:

1. The surface is easy to lose paint

2. When connecting to a new device and there is no Fiil App setting, the automatic monitoring mode will occur

3. Some facilities rely too much on App

In the past, the small evaluation articles usually have more than 5 shortcomings or suggestions at the end. But this time, it is really a work of conscience to throw away the audio quality feeling of personal hearing preference, and it also adds a high-end cost performance standard to the domestic mixed market. As a consumer, who is not willing to buy cheap and high-quality products? We also look forward to Fiil team creating more and better products in the future!

If there are any shortcomings in the text, please also correct them.
