Xuelin 812v2 contrasts the colorful C4 and reviews the Sonic GR07 Ultimate

Originally, I didn't want to buy a player now. But yesterday, I was in a bad mood. I ran to Xiamen Harbor Headphones to kill time. Xuelin 812 just sold out. After listening to the colorful C4/C3, I left. I called today to find out 812 arrivals and ran a result. Take 812 away. I went to the time with very few people, so I can easily compare them. Today, the shopkeeper gave me a cup of tea. I slowly compare ihifi-812v2 and c4 (both 3.5MM jacks, otherwise the conversion is too much trouble). A little unfair is that 812 is a new machine, C4 is a test machine.

The earphone I used is the HD380PRO of Sennheiser monitoring system. The sound is relatively neutral. It is neither dry nor fat. The low frequency inherits the atmosphere of Senhai, but there is no uncontrollable faint feeling of other products. I have been very satisfied with the purchase of 1300 or so. This is a fully enclosed monitor, so there is a certain noise reduction, just to block the noise of the store.

The audition music I used was my own, and they all turned into FLAC (level 4), which are:

1. Nikolayev Bach's "The Art of Fugue" Match 4: Mainly to see the distinction between the four parts

2. Zivla Liszt, "Hungarian Rhapsody" No.9: Mainly look at the strength and weakness of contrast and control, because the version of Zivla is strong and the weak is very weak.

3.Tengger "嘎达梅林": the same song, Tengger's singing method is also the strong contrast between strong and weak, plus the symphonic arrangement and orchestration of this piece

4. Karajan directs Wagner's "The Gold of the Rhine": Prelude and the first song, testing the control of the big compilation and the compilation of strong voices and sudden vocals

5. Feng Feifei "Hand in Hand", included in the "Autumn Festival" album: test the voice, pay tribute to my favorite Feng sister.

I don't have any preference for the sound style of the machine itself. The only requirement is to provide me with enough information. Although I am not a professional, I am only a fan, but my greatest pleasure is to analyze music, listen to structure, arrange, Listen to the singer's singing, the player's emotions and skills – all of which require good equipment to communicate. Of course, there is no need for particularly good equipment, because providing information is a matter of level. Providing pleasing information is another level of things. I don't pursue pleasing or repelling, so I like to monitor headphones, and they are cheap. .

Comparing C4 and 812, my conclusion is clear: 812 is a grade worse than C4, but both machines are sufficient for my basic requirements. Let's talk about it in detail:

1. Provide sufficient information: For analyzing music, 812 is enough.

2. Provide equalization tri-band: Tri-band equalization, especially the IF of the intermediate frequency is the place where they are separated from the low-end MP3. Now the low-end models often adopt the method of IF depression to highlight the analysis and spatial sense. The result is the same. The first song, you have to increase the volume when you listen to the weak sound. When you listen to the strong sound at the same volume, it is very noisy. You have to go back and forth in the volume adjustment, which affects the sense of hearing and damages your hearing. Therefore, the intermediate frequency is the core of the sound and the basis of the foot. Only when the intermediate frequency is stabilized can it be extended to both ends, and the reason why the new generation of headphones and players are not tolerant and people feel that they are not as good as the old ones. Abandoned the intermediate frequency.

3. Provide sufficient thrust: the thrust is quite the same. The first hearing seems to be that the 812 thrust is larger, but the finer hearing will find that it is actually because its sound is more concentrated, the sound field is not so open, in fact, the control of C4 is better. This is the difference in their grades.

At first glance, the tuning of 812 is bright, while the tuning of C4 is relatively dark. Under careful listening, the grade of C4 is highlighted. The darkness of C4 is actually caused by two reasons:

1. It is caused by the good sense of space of C4. This is very obvious when comparing the first song of "Rhine Gold". The position of the first water fairy is 812 in the middle, C4 is in the middle, the second water fairy is in the position, 812 is on the left. C4 is on the far left side. I hope that my expression can be understood. The root cause of this difference is that C4's sound field is wider than 812. The same is true in the comparison of popular music. The 812 has a relatively high voice and the C4 is more subtle.

2. It is caused by the delicateness of C4. This is obvious in Liszt's Rhapsody. The strong sound of 812 is a bit rushed, and when it is turned into a weak sound, it feels a little scattered. C4 controls the strong sound very well, and when it turns weak, it can maintain the elasticity of the touch. The internal strength is deep, and non-812 can be achieved. In the large-scale Wagner Overture, 812 is also a bit squeaky, and C4 is more calm.

I think the sound of C4 is described by the words commonly used by Shanghai people in the headset club. It is quite accentuated, not arrogant, and it is clear from the tolerance, and the skill is restrained; although the voice of 812 is good, Still not completely out of the low-level interest of digital sound, a little bit more angry. So the difference between the two is a level.

In addition, the appearance, workmanship, UI, 812 is defeated, this does not have to say, the roughness of 812 is really staggering, the buttons on the panel are like falling off, when pressed, hey, the metal is disgusting Touch, how can C4 be soft. The response of the UI is also very slow. In addition to the large screen, the amount of information displayed is sufficient, and the rest is lacking. However, the weight of 812 is heavier than C4. May be the relationship of the metal shell. These external gaps are at least 1.5 grades.

However, their prices are also more than twice the difference, so look at it together, I think 812 is value-for-money, enough to meet all my requirements for listening to music.
