A new generation of Meizu earphones

[Introduction]

Meizu has not only made great efforts in mobile phones, but also in earphones in recent years. For example, Meizu's HD5 headset and EP51 for sports are also popular. On the morning of November 7 this year, Meizu released its new generation earphone EP2X. This time, the appearance design and sound quality of the earphone will give people a refreshing feeling. It is the same price as the EP21HD I bought for 14 years - 129 yuan.

Fortunately, after two years, the author Love to play computer games To get the qualification to try out "Meizu's EP2X headset".

Let's compare it with EP21HD together with the writer.

Packaging

Meizu EP2X earphones are more protected by a layer of hard paper shell than ever before, with the English word "white" on the front and transparent triangle in the absence of obvious light. This time, the earphones are introduced in black and white. As you can see, the earphones I got this time are white earphones. At that time, the first reaction was whether they were easy to get dirty like EP21HD. With this question in mind, I am also looking at the back of the outer package step by step.

On the back of the package is written the important selling point of EP2X: create a classic curve design to restore the essence of music, which is very important. From these words, it can be seen that EP2X earphones are really different from EP21HD in hit style.

Compared with the appearance of the EP21HD, it has an additional layer of protection, which reflects Meizu's products are more and more solemn. The logo is printed and the logo is marked. Unlike the transparent box of the EP21HD, the package is very simple at a glance, and you want to be forced to give you a headset, but you don't know what the advantages of this headset are. It seems too hasty. The packaging alone shows that Meizu has made full preparations for this earphone, which is a very careful product. This is really aimed at reshaping the appearance and sound quality.

[Headphone appearance]

The EP2X transparent plastic case, as before, highlights the streamlined design of the headset when viewed from outside. The streamlined design of the fuselage and the ridge lines outline the perfect fuselage. The radian reaches the ear end alone.

At the bottom is the earphone manual, which details the earphone parameters and some instructions for use. It can be described in two words - simplification

Meizu logo is printed on the bottom of the back.

The earphone is placed in the rubber storage box, and the earphone cable is wound in the notch. Compared with the hard plastic storage box of EP21HD, it is more conducive to protecting the body of the headset. It is also a good choice to give up the hard plastic box and carry the rubber storage box with you, without worrying about the headphone cable coming out. Meizu EP2X earphones are inspired by musical symbols and have a sense of leaping.

This new integrated small waist ear fitting style is more sleek and closer to the shape of the ear. Compared with the former, it is more secure and more protective to the sound quality, which solves the problem of sound leakage.

[Compare with EP21HD]

Compared with the former, it does not look like the expression from a mother's womb, from rigid to vivid.

The external cavity of EP2X is made of PC+ABS composite material, which is resistant to dirt and abrasion; Built in 14mm double material synthetic diaphragm, and the side diaphragm is made of TPU high compliance material. Unique Free Edge design can effectively reduce distortion and enhance the surging feeling of bass. High density Nd-Fe-B magnet, with a unique dual rear cavity design, ensures the flow of true music.

Because the structure of the cavity is different, it is not very similar to the former. The former belongs to the traditional flat head plug earphone, and the sound is transmitted directly through the metal mesh to the ear. The EP2X, like Apple earphones, is a shallow earphone with two independent sound producing holes. It seems that the triangular hole can increase the sound field. I believe that the sound of EP2X will change significantly, at least for low frequencies.

Officially, EP2X is of 32 Ω+105dB low resistance and high sensitivity design. There is no need to choose equipment deliberately, and it can basically be promoted. This time, the Japanese microfiber diaphragm is still used, which has better analytical power than the ordinary paper diaphragm or metal diaphragm, and can completely restore the real sound.

Seen from the top, the independent sounding hole and ear tube of EP2X are both arc shaped, and the ear canal interface is filled with soft silicone material, which further ensures the sealing performance of sound quality. Compared with the appearance, it is really much thinner.

It may be that the light is too bright to see the edges and lines on the back of the EP2X.

Meizu EP2X adopts an integrated remote control/unique edge design. The middle part is an integrated remote control of the headset, the upper part is the volume+button, the lower part is the number - button, and the white dot in the middle is the play/pause button. Compared with the former, the volume is larger, and the blind operation recognition is slightly higher. Just look here, the key style is similar to that of Meizu H1 bracelet.

The headphone cable of EP2X is made of TPE material and added with high elastic Kevlar fiber, which has good tensile resistance and flexibility. In the former case, the headphone cable has not been improved. It is often tangled with friction. Students with obsessive-compulsive disorder can buy one now, but they should also pay attention to keeping it properly. A splitter is added, which is more convenient.

For the plug part, the EP2X adopts the L-type 3.5mm headphone plug, which is more suitable for the phone frame. Compared with the former, the vertical plug is easy to wear, inconvenient and inflexible to use. EP2X is compatible with most mainstream Android phones, but for Apple models, remote control is not supported. It can also be said that Meizu is perfectly supported.
[Sense of hearing]

In terms of sound quality, Meizu EP2X tri band is relatively balanced and can adapt to a variety of music types. The author has seen from the website that this time the emphasis is on low-frequency details, but it is also slightly inferior. In contrast, it is much better. During the audition, the low frequency is elastic and the details are outstanding. The music and voice are clearly layered, but the middle frequency and high frequency can be heard clearly. The overall voice performance is clean and neat, without any sloppiness, and the tone is more popular and comfortable. Compared with the 100 yuan earphones in the market, it is rare to have such a balanced performance.
The sound quality of the EP2X is significantly improved compared with that of the EP21HD, which is improved compared with the previous ones, but it should also see a larger direction. However, compared with the EP21HD, its style is more mainstream. The streamlined in ear earphones are more exquisite than the flat plug earphones. The unique Free Edge design plays a role in reducing distortion, making the user's low pitched bass more powerful.
Summary

Meizu focuses on the 100 yuan earphone market. This year, it focuses on the iterative upgrade of a classic product, constantly optimizing and improving itself to meet more user needs. This time, EP2X has a new small waist appearance design without metal materials, which adds a touch of color to the aura of Meizu design products. It reminds me of the sentence written on Li Nan's microblog: "I'm still in the mold factory, I can't print these words without changing him 100 times..." It took more than a hundred times to polish the earphone. This also makes us see clearly that Meizu's products have a broader world.
