▲ In recent years, domestic HiFi earphones have sprung up like mushrooms. The author has heard about several of them. What is impressive is Wang Feng's FILL earphones. Active noise reduction and Bluetooth wireless link are all very popular functions. However, in terms of sound quality, there are different opinions. The author believes that the price is much higher. Recently, I came into contact with the IVOC-100 music headset. First of all, the price is relatively affordable. What about its appearance and sound quality? Let's take a look at the mystery of this entry-level HiFi headset.

▲ The IVOC-100 music headset is actually the first headset product invested by Netease Cloud Music. Everyone is no stranger to Netease Cloud Music. There is no doubt about the richness of authentic audio resources. Many member users recharge for lossless music. However, NetEase Cloud Music unexpectedly launched HiFi earphones that are most closely tied to its own music software, which makes people feel a bit like the way that Xiaomi first completed the software MIUI, and then launched Xiaomi series mobile phones. In any case, industry is the focus of the moment, let alone hardware products?

▲ The name "Yin Fu" is supposed to be a homonym of "note". The overall package of the headset is black, low-key and textured. The appearance has a circle of wavy lines. When I opened the package, I was surprised to find that the sole was also designed in this way, with a strong sense of hierarchy. The earphone is well wrapped and fixed on the base. The earphones obtained by the author are Silent Black earphones. In fact, there are three colors: Jingse blue, crystal powder and khaki yellow. The matching color of earmuffs is silver, which is suitable for different people.

▲ In terms of accessories, it can be said that we spared no expense. In addition to the manual, quality assurance card, special headphone cable and cleaning cloth, there is also a leather storage bag. After the author touches it, it feels particularly good, and can also better protect the earphone from being damaged by bumping. In addition, there are no other accessories.

▲ Just got it, the author once thought it was a wireless headset with Bluetooth, but after careful inspection, he found that it did not have this function. It was a headset cable with good workmanship that attracted attention. According to official data, the earphone cable is made of high-purity oxygen free copper wire with Kevlar fiber on the outside to prevent uncertain strain and protect the safety of the wire. I have always heard that if the headphone cable is equipped with volume adjustment, the signal will be attenuated and the sound quality will become worse. In order to solve this problem, the audio-video headset can also enable the wearer to make normal calls without taking off the headset. A key based remote control is designed, but it can realize many functions, such as playing, pausing, answering, and hanging up when you press a button; Press twice to realize the next song, and long press to fast forward; Press three times to realize the previous song, and long press to rewind. It can be said that in addition to the volume adjustment function, the functions of ordinary earphone remote control can be realized, and it is a common feature of Android, Apple and Microsoft. What's the purpose of the card slot at one end of the headphone cable? The answer will be revealed later.

▲ The cavity contour of the audio-video headset is familiar, and it is also a classic design: small at the top and large at the bottom. In addition to beautiful appearance, it can also cover the ears perfectly, isolate external noise, and ensure the tightness of listening to music. The front of the chamber is designed in silver, with frosted texture in the middle and high gloss texture in the outer ring, which is very eye-catching.

▲ Leather earmuffs have become the standard configuration of domestic earphones, and many earphones claim to be protein earmuffs. The author guessed that the protein earmuff should also be used for the earmuff of this earphone, because it has good air permeability and is more delicate when worn and used, and there is no discomfort in long-term contact with the skin. The hardness of the filling sponge inside is moderate, and it rebounds quickly after pressing, ensuring the comfort of wearing.

▲ The audio-video headset uses a 40mm titanium plated diaphragm dynamic coil unit with an impedance of only 25 ohms. The advantage of the low impedance headset is its good compatibility. It can be said that any player or mobile phone can easily push it forward, with a wide range of applications. The front and rear chambers of the IVOC-100 headset are designed with offset separation. To put it simply, the dynamic coil is built in the middle of the chamber, leaving some space in the rear and front. At the same time, there are two dynamic guide holes, which maximize the design to create full and dynamic sound quality.

▲ According to the head radian data of Chinese people and the mechanical bearing mode of earphones, the tapered three-dimensional head beam is customized. The inner side near the head is completely wrapped with skin friendly vegetable tanned leather, and the perforation process is also carried out, so the air permeability of the head is guaranteed to the greatest extent. The outer layer of the head beam is also leather, but it is not perforated, and it is integrally shaped. The surface is smooth while maintaining the same soft feel as the inner side. The shaft arm of the headset is made of zinc alloy, which is also integrated. It can be pulled according to the size of the head, with moderate damping, and can also be rotated 90 ° to adjust the wearing comfort. After listening to it for several hours, the author felt that the IVOC-100 earphone was in place in terms of comfort. Compared with the collet feeling of FILL, the comfort of this earphone was surprising.

▲ As mentioned above, one end of the headphone cable has a card slot design, which was originally designed to achieve the locking function, so that the headphone cable and the headset can be firmly connected together to avoid the awkward situation of pulling away the headset. This is also the only earphone with this design among the domestic earphones I have seen so far. Now let's listen to the sound quality of this well made and comfortable entry-level HiFi headset.

▲ The equipment for the experience of sound quality is the new entry-level HiFi player Q launched by Patriot EROS. Both are entry-level, which is not wasteful when combined. The songs are lossless songs that the author often listens to. Let's start with the song Nightingale by Diriber. In the final climax of this song, the soprano performs incisively and vividly. The IVOC-100 earphone performs well in the middle and high frequencies. You can experience the exciting effect, but it is not too sharp. It can make you feel just right. Liang Jingru's Happy Break up is a typical popular drooling song. The opening female voice's drooling voice is slightly weak, and if you don't pay attention to it, it may be covered by string music. Still can hear the female voice concentrated in the middle, very stable. From the analytical point of view, it is also excellent. The sound quality performance of the middle and high frequencies is exhaustive, but the performance of the middle and low frequencies is somewhat soft.

▲ The first drum of Yan and Huang is the best choice for the author to experience the low frequency of earphones. The performance of IVOC-100 earphones in this music is not as eye-catching as that of mid high frequency earphones. The density of drums is solid, the dive is deeper, the rebound is rapid, and the drum point is clear. In the climax part of the ensemble, the high and low levels can be clearly distinguished, and there is no ambiguity, which surprised the author.

▲ Bokailini Cello Concerto is a string symphony that the author likes to listen to recently. The IVOC-100 earphone is more authentic in the performance of instrument timbre (violin, cello), and the positioning of various instruments is also correct, which meets the author's expectations for it.

▲ The Hotel California of the Eagle Band is an old song to experience the sense of space. What's surprising is the comprehensive quality of this earphone in playing this song, which is comparable to the high-end earphone at the level of 2000 yuan. You should know that this is just an entry-level HiFi earphone at 699 yuan. The opening bass string solo restores the original sound quality. The next drum sound does not make you feel bored. It dives with a certain degree of strength. It has a strong sense of dynamics and is not tense. The sense of space is not like that of a earphone with a price below 1000 yuan. It is highly wrapped and gives the author the sense of space that a small concert should have. In a word, please rest assured that this is not a blockbuster headset like iBeats, but a HiFi headset that stresses tone.

▲ At present, the IVOC-100 earphone with a price of 699 yuan is the first earphone launched by Netease Cloud Music, but it does not look like the first manufacturer of earphone hardware. The shape of the earphones can keep up with the trend, and they look good when worn. In terms of sound quality, the tri band is relatively balanced, and the performance of medium and high frequencies is eye-catching. The sound quality is authentic, which conforms to the author's taste. It belongs to HiFi earphones, especially suitable for wearing and listening to popular, string, jazz and other types of songs. The only thing that makes me feel weak is that the function is a little weak. I hope that the second earphone will continue to improve the sound quality while adding wireless connection and active noise reduction functions. Netease Cloud Music APP can also be used to create a smart HiFi earphone. Let's wait and see.
