Xiao Biao Note: The article comes from the # Sun Shandan Contest # Call for Papers, the second quarter is warm on the line, 2017 pickpockets summary, bought a good cargo at the end of the year and out of the sun, accumulatively participated in winning iPad, QC30, Kindle, Jingdong Card and other major awards. Details of the poke event announcement.
Written on the front: Some of the products in this article were actually purchased at 11:00, but they both tangled and waited for a long time on the wire and eventually ended at the end of 2017. Cobbled together a set of personally satisfactory walk-in listening programs. This article tries to evaluate the product in a non-grass-like manner. It is not responsible for any grassing results. Everyone has different musical tastes and listening preferences. Try to buy the front end and earphones before buying them.
Purchase routeThe Sony ZX300A player was purchased at Jingdong in the double eleventh, and used 3000-211 to make up a single point, which was about 2,700 yuan after discounted coupons.
The XBA-Z5 headset was a new 2599 car when it was purchased at the double 11th.
OC Studio is a maker of handcrafted wire from the Bay Bay who is well-known among enthusiasts. In order to avoid suspicion of advertisements, it will be described in detail later in this article.
Pseudo-restore out of the boxSince the cable has been received for less than a week, the player and the headset have been used for more than a month ... ... can only be restored to do a fake out of the box, as a sign of packaging accessories. What needs to be taken care of is that the Dafa audio product warranty sticker (blue) is sometimes affixed to the outside of the plastic film. Please remember to cut the reservation when unpacking. However, my ZX300A warranty sticker is a yellow sticker inside the box, not posted on the plastic film, this may be a difference between the old and new products.
Dafa’s consistent black-and-white packaging
ZX300A comes with only one USB cable
The line of this special USB port can be saved, and the music can be used for USB-DAC. If it is lost or broken, it may not be convenient to buy at one and a half. As for why not switch to a universal USB port, you can only say that Dafa has always had a "obsession with the game" in places where users are inconvenient.
Compared to the previous generation of flagship ZXK, Z5's accessories are plastic bags, more environmentally friendly and shabby
Compared with the previous generation of the flagship ZXK's luxurious line of earphones, the Z5 accessories contained several pairs of earphones in plastic bags that looked a bit shabby. However, after all, it is the flagship, middle and small number of the three sets of brothers and the middle folder sponge set, basically can meet the size of the average user. There was a slight improvement in soundproofing between the sponges in the middle of the sponge, but personal feelings of comfort were not as good as those of ordinary geeks, so the smallest number was always used.
Appearance and experience
The 3.5mm default line is too dauntless to treat
XBA-Z5, looks like how to describe it properly, "strange". The good-looking people put on them and they also have two U-disks on their heads.
My last headset was Shure's home, so I like to hang ear style. One day I saw the strange shape of Z5. I was deeply attracted by it... So I learned about the tuning preference of this headset. After the SONY flagship store felt an ear, it decided to start. For more than a month, I'm quite comfortable with wearing this headset, but if you like straight-eared ear, it's best to go to the physical store and try again after buying it. On my ear plug U disk map.
It's kind of pleasing to watch for a long time
The biggest advantage of the Z5 is the high degree of recognition. There is always someone on the road wondering if you are plugging in headphones.
As mentioned before, Z5 accessories are shabby, but Dafa has sent a double 3.5mm balance line very generously! Speaking of this move, it is really gloomy and ah, give you a balance line, is it right? Want to find opportunities? Unfortunately, only the PHA-3 portable amp at Dafa's 4999 price range can be used.
Dafa: White balance line? Want to come in handy, go buy my home's PHA-3!
Fortunately, poverty limits my impulse. However, the balance port is still on, but it is on the 4.4mm mouth, which is the reason to purchase the ZX300A.
I chose the silver version and it looks pretty
Positive matte touch screen is very textured
Side buttons: three small ones are the next to pause the next one, two big ones are the lifting volume
Personal dissatisfaction with the side keys: Although there are raised points to facilitate blind operation, the most commonly used “next song†button is placed in the middle position and there are no contacts (pause key and volume up key There are raised contacts, but these two functions are not used so often.In general, when the volume is fixed, I will not move; ZX300A comes with pull out headphone cable automatic pause function, so the pause button is almost for me It is useless.) If you can exchange them, the "next" position in the top position is perfect.
Two gold chrysanthemums, the 4.4mm balance on the left is the main reason for purchase
The 3.5mm on the right is basically sent.
ZX300A's storage is 16G, support for expansion cards is currently known to be at least 256G, as a music library is not a big person, 16G is enough for the time being. In terms of battery life, listening to one or two hours on the way to and from work every day, and being able to charge every weekend, is still acceptable. 4.4 The balanced port feels no more power consumption than the 3.5 port, the most power-consuming part of the feeling is the screen, the entire screen light conditions power consumption quickly, so it is recommended to customize the song list, the entire blind operation, can be largely To extend the use of time.
When copying a song, Dafa's own software, Media go, is recommended. This month, it has been changed to a Music Center. However, I still think that Media Go is easier to use. It is easy to garbled the Japanese song name copied directly, and it will not be added by Media Go. The first time you use it for a while, the longer song library analysis process will help you fill in the song information without album art. The Sense Me function analyzes the beat of a song and classifies the song according to the lyrics or cheerful rhythms. If the music library is large, the process will take a long time. If it is not needed, it is recommended to switch off. The function of automatically querying the song information is retained.
Some of the small features that come with icing on the cake:
The back feels like leather textured NFC
You can avoid the pairing process by touching the Bluetooth headset that supports this function.
There is a soy saucer MDR-1000X
Touching the screen, the 1000X can be connected to the ZX300A from the state where it is connected to other devices.
At the same time, it also supports Dafa's own Bluetooth high quality solution LDAC. The use of experience is ... ah ... no difference ... ... I enjoy the lossless use of wired headphones. LDAC is also available on the Dafa several thousand-dollar candy color players A35, A45, etc., so there is no need to purchase the ZX300A for Bluetooth.
USB-DACZX300-A can also be connected to a computer for USB-DAC use, but the process is cumbersome. There is an older brother's post with detailed instructions. The portal is here.
In short, the steps are:
1. Download the driver from the judge's website
2, then download Dafa's own Hi-Res Audio Player player
Then connect the ZX300A, turn on the USB-DAC mode, you can use the DAC function, and do not support Netease cloud, foobar and other common players, only use this Dafa own Hi-Res Audio Player, fortunately this player is small, The function is also simple, there is no sense of presence in the computer, the computer can be assured of cleanliness.
Currently it works successfully on my Win10 Home Edition. I don't know if there will be any impact on different system versions. The process is so cumbersome that this feature is also very tasteless.
It should also be noted that in the USB-DAC mode, although the USB cable is connected, the player cannot be charged, and the power-off thief is faster, which is faster than my daily listening to 4.4 balance. It is really puzzling. The sound of 4.4 was good enough for me and the USB-DAC seemed to be optional.
Wire purchase In order to balance the 4.4, you naturally need to buy a separate line. At first, like most people, I also consider two Dafa 4.4 lines. They are an ordinary version (model MUC-M12NB1), and another one produced by Campbell (MUC-M12SB1).
When the double eleventh was over, but waited and waited, but it was not available.
The official website is also out of stock for years
Seeing the double eleven got to the double twelve, it was almost at the end of the year, not even the root 4.4 lines have been bought, I would like to write a review combined with this month to listen to the normal 3.5 line Z5 sense of hearing, decided to customize a line . Dafa's own balance line, the connector at the pin is straight, because the Z5 is worn around the ear, the straight plug will have some impact on the wear, the official Campbell line will send a small protection head, but saw a few return map Later, I feel that this protection is really ugly. (N3AP users don't have such annoyance, slightly envy)
Finally found the OC Studio, a maker of wire from Bay Bay. Their home is in a treasure shop, the home with the global purchase logo is that the customer service pigeons return information is very timely, the wire production takes about one to two weeks, and then SF shipments, logistics is extremely fast, it will not be tax. Occasionally, I saw the Z5 that was used by the buyer in the figure, but it was actually a Z5-specific oblique plug. When asked to know that the OC had a Z5 special pin, I was very pleased to have the order.
I purchased a four-core single crystal silver upgrade line of type OC STUDIO UE X Cryo, with 4.4 balanced ports, 1270 yuan, which is almost the price of a Jinbao line.
Unpacking change line!
Wire packaging and contents
The value of beauty is also one of the reasons I fancy this line
The pin can be removed with a little force, but it is a pity that the beautiful red ring and silver ring cannot be left in the earphone body.
There is a cross-shaped fool-proof buckle at the plug, OC's this line will not be shaken and rotated, but unfortunately the red and white rings I want to take down, try it and can not take, had to let them stay in 3.5 The mm line is gray.
It's very nice to see it in white.
This line of OC is because I chose four cores, not very thick, and very light, basically the weight is at the joints, and it is comfortable to wear on the ears. Yan value did not have to say, I super like to attach ear plug U disk before and after the line change comparison:
With this diagonal plug, the lugs are more comfortable
I listen to the taste: the main listen to the Billboard list, played times to play, popular saliva songs, R & B, Chinese language popular, occasional AAC, game movie pure music OST and so on. Do not listen to folk songs and symphony.
The XBA-Z5's popular tuning is really suitable for me at first glance. The original line of the Z5 was not as bad as it was on the Internet. In the month I listened to the line, I could feel that the Z5 is still a very substantial plug in the high frequency. Z5's low-frequency dive is very deep, the amount is also very full, but the disadvantage is that the low-frequency volume is too fat, and not enough timely, a general feeling of low-frequency will continue to affect the IF, giving people a "paste" feeling .
In general, on the 4.4 balance, or on the amp, increase the thrust, strengthen the analysis, can ease the feeling of low-frequency hypertrophy. Changing a silver wire is also an improvement. Z5's two official balance lines are copper, and Campbell's one is 8-core copper (thickness and sense of wear can be imagined to be very touching). Copper is more inclined than silver to improve. The sense of hearing in the next disc. The silver line is to tighten the low frequency and increase the high frequency. I combined my feelings about the Z5 line and my needs, so I chose such a silver thread.
The following sense of hearing is based on ZX300A 4.4 balanced port + silver line Z5, I do not plan EQ, all for a better sense of service, so I also send my EQ settings:
From left to right: +4 +1.5 +1 +2 +3 +4 +4.5 +4 +2.5 +2
This DC phase linearizer is divided into two major types of AB, in which I think it is a prominent instrument, B is prominent vocal, AB and each sub-Low, Standard, High, I think it is the corresponding medium, low, high frequency. The Type B Standard is a setting that I find more comfortable to listen to.
Don't ask why I don't have a California hotel, because I don't listen to it... I know the California hotel is classic, but I don’t hear why I’m listening to my headphones. So only take the song test that I like to listen to, so this article is the evaluation song.
Low Frequency: Lorde - Everybody Wants To Rule The World
Dive enough earplugs and listen to the capital with an ear-shocking feeling. However, the song from time to time the stoppage of the drum is a test of the plug's low-frequency reception and release is comfortable, for the silver line of the Z5 in this performance is perfect, can not pick any shortcomings.
Transient: Zedd/Grey - Adrenaline
Haha, this guy has seen the B station [measured] how much difference between the headset? The people are very familiar with, I also like this verb times, the first half is very suitable for measuring the headset transient, 1 minute 46 seconds to start Some are also very suitable for measuring low frequencies, not at low frequencies, or with too few plugs. It sounds like drums are being knocked at the drums, and headphones that don't perform at the right time will stop sounding enough. The Z5 line has performed quite well in this song, so I would say that the Z5's hypertrophic low frequencies mask its excellent mid- and high-frequency transient capabilities.
Voice: Zhang Huimei - Even Named Surname
Since it came out soon and is in the loop, we will use it for testing. 4.4 The piano at the beginning of the balance line came out first. I felt guilty. How did you feel great? The loneliness of the piano... Fortunately, Amy opened her mouth and her heart was soft. I like to hear the little skin friction (not tooth sound) from the lips of female voices. The resolving power comes up, and this sound can be easily noticed.
Junjie Lin - "Singing"
A song inspired by ASMR, it really feels like "ears are pregnant." Old Lin walked around the room and circled around you. You can feel the difference in the size of the room. However, this song is only accompaniment, only the guitar, the test of the headphones is not very big, but this does not affect the song became my lure When burning friends into the pit, give them the first track.
Wei Lian - Slowly Waiting
A vocalist who likes to love him and has a very strong tooth tone. The most worried about changing the silver wire is the tooth sound explosion, and the test of this song is still acceptable. But think about it if it is EXK put on the silver line, that picture should be too beautiful I dare not look.
High Frequency: Donna Burke - Heavens Divide
Alloy equipment: and the parallel theme song, soul-stirring.
High frequency, analysis, positioning: Squirrel Nut Zippers - "My Drag"
Thieves are angry at all kinds of big violins, although the Z5 can't do string poisoning (after all, it's not really its positioning), but Z5 with good positioning and a good sound field is still very sensible to hear this song.
Audio: Porter Robinson - Lionhearted
The favorite electric tone weighed the selection of Alone in Marshmallow and this one, although Alone is also good to hear but this electric tone is more likely to test the weakness of the Z5 bass paste. The Z5 of the original line listened to this song and it was really pretty, and the chorus became a piece of paper. It only played in the vaguely moving times and felt better after changing lines.
The big scene, positioning: Revo & Yukura Yuki - "Sand Dust..."
Revo & Yukura Yuki - "sand dream"
Both songs are from the album "Dream Port". The cooperation between Sound Horizon's Revo and the two great gods in Zhangpu is full of exotic and dazzling arrangement. When the song is full, there are at most four Fiction Junction singers with complicated. Arranging and singing, the performance of the balance line Z5 in these two songs was touched by people, as if they were once again in the western region of Huangsha.
Simple summary: 4.4 balanced mouth thrust increases, enhances the analysis, the balance of the mouth volume can be less than 3.5 to open 5 cells, single crystal silver wire significantly eased the Z5 low-frequency hypertrophy of the sense of hearing, vocal more prominent, low frequency The amount is also controlled just fine. In the unbundled group, I wanted to get a good sense of hearing. This combination has satisfied me. The Z5 has been playing well under the balance line. As for whether to put it up, can we play the so-called "full body" in the In the face of the need for portability, I am not willing to sacrifice more. After all, when you need music, you are usually alone.
Summary & purchase adviceZ5 as a price of 2,500 yuan (based on the starting price) headset, the quality of less than 5,000 yuan is almost impossible to fight opponents, but relatively large impedance, so that it has a certain demand for the front end, mobile phone directly pushed slightly difficult. At the same time, the implicit changeover requirement (the Z5 line is not to say you can't listen, but the last of the Z5s are all changed, can you resist the impulse?), making the Z5's actual price become a 3,700 yuan headset ( 2500+1200 wire) This gap opened up with the cost-effectiveness of N3AP, a cousin's brother-in-law, and the N3BP with its own balanced 4.4.
So if you have a listening style similar to me, like a warm and rich atmosphere, like Dafa's tuning, and want to purchase Dafa audio products, here are my suggestions for several different needs:
1, listen to a ring, headphones need to call with wheat: N1AP
2, take a mobile phone to listen to a NetEase cloud, you only need a slightly better headset: N3AP is a better choice for you, tuning and Z5 division out of the same door, the impedance is not so high Z5, pushing the phone directly friendly.
3, mobile phone battery abuse, need a headset, but also need a front end, like the color look good: A35/A45+N3AP
4, mobile phone battery abuse, need a headset, but also need a front end, do not mind color: ZX100 + N3AP (ZX100 Jingdong is not discounted all year round, the original price is more expensive than the ZX300A, please find other cheap channels)
5, want to try Dafa 4.4 balanced black technology! ZX300A+N3BP
6, do not mind Z5's appearance and wear, but also the flagship control buy to buy the flagship, front-end 3.5mm player: Z5, do not rush to change the line, listen to familiar with the re-consideration
7, want to experience the balance Z5 in the end is what sound: ZX300A + Z5 + any 4.4 balanced line I mentioned in the text (provided that you are willing to wait) or black brick + Z5 + any 4.4 in the article I mentioned the balance line
8, the ultimate program: buy another PHA-3
9, the ultimate ultimate solution: black brick + PHA-3 + Z5 + balance line
Well, the road to making money is still long...
