preface

Since Apple canceled the headphone interface, Bluetooth headsets have begun to develop like a blowout. Now there are various Bluetooth headsets in Ma's home, whether in the mall or Taobao store, at any price from the 20th.

Until now, I still think so. Every price is worth every product. Businesses want to make money. The shell can be beautiful, but the chips that cannot be seen inside are likely to use solutions from solution providers. I often experience some digital products. I often give an example to illustrate that every price is worth every purchase. What is the difference between the current 2000 price mobile phone and the 1000 price mobile phone in terms of processor solution, screen, and metal shell experience? Does the price difference mean that the manufacturer makes money? No, the components used in it are different. For example, speakers, high-end phones are certainly different from 1000 yuan phones. However, due to the different sales targets of mobile phones, entry-level users often think that 1000 yuan phones have large memory, delicate and smooth screens, so they often despise Apple users who spend a lot of money on iPhones.

Similarly, Bluetooth headsets are also faced with such a phenomenon. Manufacturers often advertise the quality of the products with a price of one hundred yuan and a price of one thousand yuan! Maybe this is cheating Beginner Buy the so-called thousand yuan quality earphones, and when you get the earphones, you find that the bass is enough, and you think that the thousand yuan earphones are just like that. I think the current Bluetooth headset market is just like the market where Xiaomi bargained for mobile phones. When the market accepted, the quality premium began to appear.

Sound quality comparison

For the word "cool me"“ 1000 yuan sound quality 100 yuan price ”、“ If the sound quality cannot be improved, we will return the earphones of the same kind for free ”； I found my colleague's Sony MDR-XB950BT Bluetooth headset for comparison (the official flagship store of Sony 1098, and other stores have 979). I think Kuwo agrees that this headset is of the same kind.

First, let's talk about my background, so that you can first understand my ear level.

Before I got this headset, I had experienced Meizu's EP51 and Kuwo's K1 at my own expense, and they were rejected by me. The first reason is that the sound quality is not as good as Xiaomi Piston's simple version. First, I bought the EP51. After I got it, the first song I experienced was Manjiang's "Return". At one stage, the cymbal sounded softly in my ear, but the EP51 sounded dry and astringent, and I didn't feel that way. It is for this reason that I choose to return the goods. Why did I choose Kuwo K1 later? Because I think JD's evaluation and sales are very good, with a positive rating of 95%. But after I got it, I chose to return it after a day of experience. The reason is that it is uncomfortable to wear, the workmanship is average, the analysis of the plastic injection mold of the headset has residue, which is very uncomfortable to the ear. Another reason is that the sound quality is average, very average, so I choose to return it. After these two times, I decided to make a Bluetooth headset by myself (I modified one before, but it was less than a month ago, and I accidentally lost it on my neck, (T_T)), so I had the experience of purchasing so many headsets.

Fortunately, Love to play computer games I was asked to win the bid for Kuwo H1. After winning, I checked the details of the headset, what advanced Bluetooth chip and diaphragm were used. Since I experienced K1, I have begun to hehehe. Tmall has a special price of 199 these days. I think the sound quality of the earphones is worth the price. Let's get the goods to evaluate the specific sound quality.

My ears should be at the level of Xiaomi Piston, and I may like the sound of heavy bass. But later I wanted to buy earphones and improve the level of earphones. Because of earphones, I have gone from the previous 9.9 package earphones to Rambler's K210 (Jingdong 59) to Xiaomi's simple piston version. Now I can't listen when I pick up the old earphones, which shows that my ear level has also improved a lot.

Colleagues are also competing for experience after receiving it.

Colleague A (has experience with two earphones worth about 500 yuan): This earphone is very dull after listening to it.

Colleague B (who bought the AKG K420 recommended by Lao Luo): After listening to this earphone, the sound field is not very wide.

Me: Compared with Meizu EP51 K1、 The sound quality of Xiaomi piston is good.

It's hard to explain music, which is very subjective, because everyone's reference is different. People who have used earphones of different levels will give different scores to the same earphone. When you listen to the earphone that comes with your phone before, it is a good experience to get this earphone. But if you are an enthusiast, you will definitely feel that this earphone is the same.

Now I mainly focus on Kuwo H1 and Sony MDR-XB950BT Compare the sound quality of the two earphones (note that this is my experience at this level)

My main music experiences are Hotel California and Xu Jun's Myself.

In order to compare the two earphones, I have listened to the two songs more than 50 times, mainly to hear the difference between the two earphones. For the music details, Kuwo H1 and Sony can show the corresponding instruments, and the corresponding vibration of plucking strings can be heard.

So there is no difference between the two earphones? Of course, there are still some. From my experience and that of my colleagues, the bass of Sony earphones is 20%~30% better than that of Kuwo (with the subwoofer function turned on), and Sony earphones feel that the sound field is better than that of Kuwo H1, which makes them feel more live. However, this does not mean stereo sound. Kuwo is also a standing sound, but the overall on-site feeling is weaker. Another difference is the two voice features. When listening to "Myself", Sony feels more exquisite, while the male voice of Kuwo should be a little rough and broad, feeling a little rusty. In the words of colleagues, it is the feeling of heavy metal.

Difference between wired and wireless sound quality

After wired connection, the wireless connection will be automatically turned off. When the cable is unplugged, the wireless connection needs to be manually turned on.

After comparing the wired and wireless music listening, the details of wired music listening are better than those of wireless music listening. I tried to listen to the comparison of the guitar sound at the beginning of the X-Ray Dog Pride And The Power. The wireless music is a part of the wired music listening, but it does not reflect the overall situation. Without special comparison, no difference can be heard.

Watching the movie, I compared the difference between wired and wireless. I mainly listened to the sound of the bullet hitting the glass in the gunfight. The wired effect is better than wireless. Wireless has a harsh feeling, and there are more details than wired. The overall wired and wireless feel like the brightness of five light bulbs. When one is turned off, the difference between four and five is different. A careful comparison will make a difference.

Bluetooth module

Bluetooth male module

When I turn on the power of H1, I hear a female voice "power on", "Bluetooth connection in progress", "connected", I feel inexplicably familiar, because my previous 9.9 email single ear Bluetooth headset prompt is the same as that of Kuwo K1. Then I was thinking about whether these Bluetooth headsets would sell like the counterfeit mobile phones using MediaTek solutions? Then I searched the list of "Bluetooth Headset Solution" in Baidu, and I was still amazed that a male model of Bluetooth headset PCBA only 8~9 Yuan. It seems that Bluetooth headsets are very profitable, but I don't know whether the manufacturer will give the best hardware to consumers. The prompt sound of Meizu's EP51 Bluetooth headset was the same as that of the modified headset I used before, so I decided to return the product because its voice did not meet my requirements. The Bluetooth prompt sound of the Sony headset I tried is absolutely different from the headset I used before. This indicates that Sony does not use the male model. The chip Kuwo may use is imported, but the Bluetooth solution may be a male model (I guess, please do not take it as a certainty).

H1 Bluetooth experience

For Bluetooth headsets, the first problem is that the Bluetooth bandwidth leads to the reduction of the signal, which ultimately leads to the discount of the music effect. Here we will focus on the biggest factor of the image experience, signal stability. First of all, interference is inevitable in the Bluetooth connection. If there is an occasional jam, consumers can accept it, but if it happens frequently, we can't stand it. One of the problems with this Kuwo H1 is that when it is used in the office (there are many computers and mobile phones in the office with Bluetooth on), it rarely appears that the music is stuck. But when you wear it on the way to work, your experience is extremely bad. When you pass a car, In H1, there will be various poor signals. That is, you can't hear the music clearly within a few seconds after passing the vehicle. I started to think it was an accidental phenomenon, but repeated passing of the second and third cars will also cause such problems. The more serious problem is that when you are waiting for the traffic lights at the intersection, the music is really like a card disc. This phenomenon has never occurred in other Bluetooth headsets I use.

Principle of Auto Play

If you touch the left earmuff face carefully, you will find that there is a disc in it. At first, I thought it was something that the workers accidentally dropped in, but later, when analyzing the intelligent principle, it should be a sensor. The initial pause is controlled by the bending degree, but the pull will also pause. I began to suspect that it was a temperature sensor, and my guess was correct after experiments. I used a cup of hot water to lean directly against the sensor on the left side of the headset, and the headset began to sing. Prove that my guess is correct. But because the temperature sensor is used, there is always a certain delay when using it. Because the equipment must first detect the temperature change. Therefore, the change is not very sensitive. Therefore, it is recommended to let the sensor touch your skin when using, so that the headset can control the switch well.

Design

Wearing comfort: ★★

Headphones can be divided into over ear and on ear according to the way they are worn. Kuwo H1 is the way of On ear. I can tell the students who want to buy headphones clearly that this way of experience is the worst. It hurts to press your ears. But try Sony MDR-XB950BT, because it is an Over ear mode, and its sponge is extremely soft, so it is very comfortable to wear.

For this kind of ear clip earphone, if it is not for music appreciation, I don't want to wear it for a long time. It is very uncomfortable when I clip my ear for a long time. Especially if you are a classmate wearing glasses, you will find that the ear clip is very uncomfortable. But I don't know why earphones are designed like this now. Are they all beautiful?

Walking effect:

You may often encounter many students walking with headphones, but after my experience, both Sony and Kuwo H1 will make a thump sound when the volume of headphones is low.

Appearance workmanship: ★★★★

First of all, let's say that at present, the domestic electronic product market is looking for the best products, and there is no market for rough workmanship. In order to catch the consumers' psychology, the product must have a good appearance and workmanship. So Kuwo also did a good job in this regard. We found a foreign designer to design the appearance (whether there is one or not, then we don't know).

Both the left and right sides of the headset are made of aluminum alloy, and the car is textured. But the other part is clinker. The overall workmanship is good. At the same time, the earphone part can rotate a little and swing from side to side, which may be designed to better fit the ear at an angle and avoid exerting the same force on the ear, making the ear uncomfortable. However, the swing of the left and right sides of Kuwo H1 is a little difficult, and the swing range of the left and right sides is a little different, which may be the place where Kuwo needs to improve.

In terms of earmuffs, I think the workmanship is pretty good. The imported protein skin is really good. It feels very thin and soft. The edge wrapping is very exquisite, and the mesh cover in the middle is also very exquisite. These are all good workmanship and materials, which are of international standard.

Kuwo H1 can be bent. The bending part is made of metal components. The bending feel is very stable, and the middle line is the line connecting the two sides. The bending tightness is just right, and there is no pulling phenomenon. The length can be adjusted to suit different people. The scale and damping of the adjustment are very good and have a sense of quality.

The fixing parts of the bending part all use hexagonal screws, which is very unusual. The joint with leather is also very exquisite.

Now let's talk about the problem here. The three keys are Pause, Volume+and Volume -. The design of the pause key here is very good. There is a bump to avoid accidental touch, and it is also convenient to identify the key. However, here comes the problem. This key is particularly difficult to press. How difficult is it? You can't press it directly with your forefinger. You have to use your nails to press it down. But volume+, volume - there is no such phenomenon, it is better to press a lot. The problem here may be the design of the keys, because the actual keys below are soldered on the circuit board, and there should be no difference. Here should be the two sides of the middle of the triple key, which is not easy to press. It may need to be disassembled. In fact, it is suggested that the manufacturer should design the key surface wider so that the handle will be much better. Another point is that the following icon is not printed on the headset.

The following figure is on the right. There are power on key and function key (breathing light switch and intelligent pause switch). Double click the function key continuously. If the breathing light flashes twice, the intelligent switch is turned on. The following is a detailed explanation of the principle of the intelligent switch, so that you can use it better.

If you touch the left earmuff face carefully, you will find that there is a disc in it. At first, I thought it was something that the workers accidentally dropped in, but later, when analyzing the intelligent principle, it should be a sensor. The initial pause is controlled by the bending degree, but the pull will also pause. I began to suspect that it was a temperature sensor, and my guess was correct after experiments. I used a cup of hot water to lean directly against the sensor on the left side of the headset, and the headset began to sing. Prove that my guess is correct. But because the temperature sensor is used, there is always a certain delay when using it. Because the equipment must first detect the temperature change. Therefore, the change is not very sensitive. Therefore, it is recommended to let the sensor touch your skin when using, so that the headset can control the switch well.

Now let's talk about the breath lamp. I don't know why my earphone can't realize the breath lamp. No matter the switch or the pause of music playing, there is no flashing phenomenon. Maybe there is something wrong with me.

Overall appearance

Bending status, convenient for storage.

Expand Status

On the whole, the earphones are very good.

The connected headphone cable feels good and soft. But the remote control button has only one pause and start button. And the handle is also very hard.

The KUWO logo is made at the interface.

This is the charging cable. It feels good. They are all universal models.

This is a free bag. In order to save costs, it is very simple. Don't imagine how good it is.

conclusion

Is it worth buying: The price of 199 is still hard to refuse.

Buyer: Students who have not purchased earphones worth more than 50 yuan before can purchase and use them.

Disadvantages:

1. It is uncomfortable to use it for a long time because it is not ear covering. At least I don't like wearing it for a long time.

2. The left and right earmuffs are too tightly adjusted, and the range is too small, resulting in severe ear compression and discomfort.

3. Compared with Sony MDR-XB950BT, the sound field has no Sony range light.

4. The bass is not as good as that of Sony. Sony has a better sense of listening to music.

5. The sponge filled in the ear muff is relatively solid compared with the sponge filled in Sony, resulting in a poor fit with the ear and improved comfort.

6. When the headset battery indicator has three more bars, it suddenly shows that the battery is low.

advantage:

1. The details are good. Compared with Sony, they can show the corresponding details.

I don't know whether it is a advantage or a disadvantage

2. Compared with Sony, the sound is more crisp

3. The design structure is unified, without various edges and corners;

4. There is no problem in charging once and using it for a week.
