 Preface

  "Smart headsets" and "wireless Bluetooth headsets" can be said to be the development trend of the headset market in the future. The change from wired headsets to wireless headsets will be an important transition in the development of wearable devices. In fact, Bluetooth headsets are not new, but it is not easy to get a sentimental headset this time Skullcandy Smokin' Buds2 Wireless In ear headphones. This new series is created by Skullcandy Star products SMOKIN ’ BUDS 2 It has evolved and hopes to give us a good experience through this headset.

 Appearance and wearing feeling

The package of earphones is simple, and the black and white with graffiti elements that have remained unchanged for thousands of years are fashionable. When I opened the box, the earphone lay flat in the box. I got the black model, which looked very calm. In addition, it also includes a pair of ear muffs, a manual, a warranty card, and a charging line.

The overall length of the headset does not exceed 80cm There is no way to increase it. There is a black skull on the back of the earplug Logo The connection between the earphone cable and the earplug is connected with a soft plug, which may cause degumming for a long time. Headphones adopt off-Axis Design, which makes the ear mouth and cochlea twenty-four °, which can greatly improve the user's wearing comfort. Of course, this design will easily compress the sound transmission channel and make the sound very dull.

Skullcandy Smokin 'Buds2 Wireless Headset has a flat head design, which also continues Skullcandy The traditional design advantages greatly prevent problems such as poor contact of the headphone cable. The back chamber of the cochlea is designed with air holes to release sound from a narrow sound transmission channel, so that the sound is not stuffy and the reverberation is reduced. However, the design of the exhaust holes in the front and rear chambers will have better effects.

The Bluetooth headset is controlled by three button wire, and the two sides are marked with“ + ”“-” If you press and hold“ + ”Then skip to the next song, long press "-" to return to the previous song, and the middle button is marked with Logo The switch pause button has a distinct concave convex feeling and can be operated freely at any time, place and environment. On the back of the remote control“ Skullcandy ”At the same time, the microphone air vent is designed in the letter“ U ”In the middle, the homophone of the letter is“ you ”That is, always in your heart. There is a wire harness slider on the wire control to bind the two headphone wires, and the left and right wires can be separated.

The headphone cable is very soft TPE The soft noodle line is not easy to be twisted when used. The headset is equipped with a lithium battery, which is small in size. There is an indicator light above the battery, which can emit red and blue lights of different colors, indicating that the headset is turned on or off. There is a USB Charger, put the whole headset in one“ U ”The inside of the V-shaped wire rod bracket is safe and fixed. The whole wire rod is the same as the earphone. According to the ergonomic design, it is very comfortable to wear. It has been worn for a long time, and there is no sense of oppression. However, the neck is still a little cold in winter, and the bracket slot is slightly hard. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can separate the earphone from the wire rod bracket, In this way, although the headset cannot be fixed, it is more comfortable to wear.

Long press start / Pause key four For more than seconds, the indicator will flash blue for Bluetooth pairing. At this time, turn on the Bluetooth of the phone, and the SB2 Wireless The test is performed after self connection. If the indicator turns red and blue, it indicates that the pairing is complete. If you want to turn off the Bluetooth headset, you can repeat the operation. There is no prompt tone in the whole process. It is easy to turn on the music when the headset is not connected properly in public, which is very embarrassing.

Skullcandy brand is positioned in extreme sports, The protection of wire support, which is used by users during running, will not produce stethoscope effect at all, and has a good blocking effect on sweat. Moreover, the headset can fit the face well and is not easy to slip down. However, this earphone will expose some shortcomings when used in sports. For example, the three button remote control will have poor contact, which will cause great distortion when changing from walking to using. In fact, this is also a common problem of the Bluetooth headset I have used, which makes listeners disappointed.

 Sound quality experience

  In addition to the installation of Bluetooth headset, a good audio quality experience can stand out. For a 599RMB The sound quality of our earphones must be preserved. Good battery life six Hours, nearly six point five Hours, so the sound quality should not be too demanding. In the absence of earphones, the test sound quality is as follows:

For low frequencies, Skullcandy The earphone is good at bass, so choose Wang Xi《 Besame Mucho 》, for low c The performance of songs and earphones is poor. Compared with similar products, Skullcandy Smokin 'Buds2 Wireless sacrificed too much, and its life performance was dull and heavy. The drooling sound was not recognized at all, and it lost the sense of clarity. The diving was very bad. The sound separation was poor, and the sensation of roar made people want to cut songs. Try subwoofer music again《 Hello 》The bass is still a little stiff. I guess it's because I haven't cooked it.

For MF, I try to listen JJ "Songs not written for anyone", JJ The voice is called the voice kissed by angels. The main melody of the piano is clear, but JJ The voice of is a little bit stale. On the whole, the voice liquidity is very ordinary. A very emotional song becomes very boring. Choose Girls' Music《 Faded 》The ethereal feeling of girls can be maintained. The electric sound part is solid and powerful, without jarring, and the music becomes layered. The interpretation of resolution is good. This earphone is more suitable for ordinary electric music, and is a good choice for sports users.

For high frequency, select《 Young For You 》This music has evenly distributed frequencies. The high voice has a little less power, and the low voice has a loud sound, which is a bit disorderly , try David Garrett Of《 viva la vida 》The high-frequency violin sound is still very clear. Generally speaking, the extension of the treble is very good, but the loud bass always affects the appreciation of the whole music. The details need to be improved.

 Summary

advantage:

① The overall design of the headset is beautiful and generous, and has a good appearance.

② It is comfortable to wear without discomfort for a long time.

③ It is quite stable for sports headphones, and can be worn tightly or loosely.

④ The headset is in standby for up to 6 hours.

⑤ It is convenient to use.

Disadvantages:

① The biggest problem with headphones is poor contact.

② You can change the air hole before and after the earplug design, so that the sound of the earphone can be more released.

③ Use voice prompts when connecting to Bluetooth.

④ The volume of the headset is low. I don't know whether it is the Bluetooth connection or the impedance is too high.

⑤ Pay more attention to all bonding points of the headset, or it will be easy to unglue.

⑥ The bass processing is not very good, the dive is not deep, and the voice is slightly behind.

It is worth mentioning that the earphone's wired volume is really low. It seems that the 21 level volume adjustment needs to be fully opened to reach the normal volume use value. I don't know whether it is due to the influence of Bluetooth transmission. In general, the sound quality of this Bluetooth headset cannot be discounted. After all, the headset is for listening. In terms of cost performance, it is better than similar products. Therefore, this earphone is a good choice for friends who like sports, such as cycling, and its cool appearance is more worthy of our young people.
