According to Vsonic, there is a VSD5 headset that is closer to the flagship "7" series after VSD3/3s. At the end of 2014, VSD5 is finally available. The price is 100 yuan higher than VSD3, and the price is 399 yuan. At present, there seems to be no VSD5s and VSD5. Distinguish, and only one VSD5. Officially said that this headset sales number 6000. Since the VSD1 and VSD3 series have very good performance, and the number is getting closer to the 7 series, let us look forward to VSD5.
The VSD5 headset we received was from Vsonic's sample. In order not to occupy the retail number, the headset we used can be seen from the photo without a number. But we guarantee that it is consistent with the headphones we buy through some channels. We probably received the VSD5 headset about a week before the launch of the Atlas, and started to crash, and it is no earlier than the user who bought the headset through the ordinary channel. We also borrowed a VSD5 from the purchased users to verify it. Consistency, in this way, a total of three VSD5 were used. Why should we increase the number of test samples to three? Because this test we found a special phenomenon, the following talks. [In fact, VSD3/3s, we can not hear 7. The GR07 MKII also has more than 3, and it is not entirely from the test.]
The Vsonic VSD5 uses the same shape design as the VSD3, and is probably also made of the same mold. The headphones use a translucent plastic material and a tough line style. A closer comparison will reveal the brown color of the VSD5 and the color of the previous VSD3 series. There is a difference, regardless of the contrast of the darker or lighter VSD3, the transparency of the VSD5 shell is better. On the VSD3, the glue bubble problem at the shell joint is still present on the VSD5, in the macro These details are easy to see under the lens, and the workmanship is not good, but compared to Vsonic, there is still no small progress. However, the large bubbles on the VSD3 we evaluated are not the whole VSD3 problem, just an individual phenomenon.
The shape of the wiring part of the VSD5 looks very similar to that of the VSD3, but the VSD5 eliminates the design of the changeable line. It is said that the reliability of the plug-in design of the VSD3 is not good. Indeed, the two VSD3 wires in our hands There are also problems. I hope that Vsonic can do the VSD3 related after-sales work. As our highly recommended headphones, most of us can only rate based on the sound performance of the headphones. The reliability test is still our test short board, users can only use the regular channels reasonably. Maintain your own consumer rights.
Due to the abnormal update of Vsonic official website, official Weibo and other publicity display windows, we are not clear about the relevant data of VSD5. However, there are irregular channels, VSD5 adopts new or improved diaphragm design [multi-layer diaphragm There may be metal plating], and the VSD5 is said to be tuned for the Sony EX1000 headphones. In this promotional background, the performance of the VSD5 is also worth looking forward to. But we still hope to see the official publicity window can objectively introduce a Technical points of the product.
The problem of downtime: Next, we will introduce three VSD5 earphones used in this evaluation. Two from Vsonic for testing, two times for delivery; one for commercial products purchased by netizens. Since the three headphones reach different times, we Three samples were used to verify the VSD5's sound changes due to the downtime.
Downtime refers to the process of getting the newly assembled speaker to the best condition from the vibrating structure such as diaphragm and voice coil through proper normal operation. Different speakers need different time, which may take a few hours to achieve the best. The state may also take hundreds of hours. But in the earphones we have evaluated over the years, this magical change of VSD5 is still encountered for the first time.
In general, the sound of our VSD5 is divided into three stages: A, B, and C. Phase A: We got the first VSD5, the first time we used it, and found that its sound is very restrained, and the high frequency has good resolution, but I don't think there is any good dynamic on Monitor 06 MX. The sound style on iPhone-level mobile phone is very positive. At this time, many of our netizens got VSD5 earlier than us, indicating that VSD5 has tooth sound. We were still at the time. Expressed objections. Later, we got a brand new VSD5, the status is similar, but not as obvious as the first one.
Stage B: As long as the headphones play music for about 20 hours, the temperament of VSD5 begins to change. There are signs of temperament change around 50 hours. At this point, we started to have some accidents and doubts, and started to borrow the later two headphones. .VSD5 about 80 hours ago, the sound gradually spread, the high frequency and the middle and high frequency became bright, the high frequency metal taste became very obvious. Listening on the iPhone, the high frequency resolution is very good, but extremely blunt, almost 95% of popular music is difficult to hear. We can't determine the material and composition of the VSD5 diaphragm, but this high-frequency style is like the taste of a metal diaphragm, too good high frequency extension, too fast transient response, so high The frequency of the sound is full of metal flavor. The details are rich, but the taste is very different.
Stage C: Continue to VSD5 downtime, about 100 hours or more, this high-frequency metal taste begins to weaken, the whole sound slowly begins to relax, but it is not completely A-stage style. At this stage, the VSD5's intermediate frequency begins to change. Relaxed, the sense of low frequency is also improved, the dynamic performance of the headphones is better than the A and B stages under a good sound source. In the end, we will freeze the C stage for about 200 hours to perform this evaluation. There are still huge changes in more than 200 hours, and we may add evaluations.
We determined that the above analysis is correct by the different downtime status of the three headphones. It also confirms that the Vsonic test sample is the same as the commercially available numbering machine. However, the time of the A phase may be different, but the A phase is only needed from the new to the change. A few hours. At the time of purchase, you can pay attention to the strange characteristics of VSD5. In fact, in the past evaluation, we paid attention to the consistency problem. In the key models, although not mentioned in the article, we are also doing these work. HD800 pit Why is it not filled? It is also related to different numbers of different sounds. At present, the test plan has not been confirmed. You are welcome to send different numbers of HD800.
Closer to home. The overall sound style of VSD5 is more like a small upgrade based on VSD3s. It is obviously different from Vsonic's original R04 Pro, R07 and GR07 series, and it still has no harmony with its overall style and quality. GR07 MKII and GR07 Classic compete with each other, so this article will not do much comparison with GR07 MKII. VSD5 high frequency special taste is rarely encountered in recent dynamic earplugs, it is high with micro-motion or moving iron The frequency and the very high frequency performance are different. Under the small sound pressure and small dynamics, the high frequency of the VSD5 shows almost the highest level, and even some of the high frequency taste like the UE 900 [all under very good sound sources]. When you encounter a little more dynamic, the metal taste comes out. If your player is just an iPhone, the high frequency of the percussion sounds harsh, and the string sounds too irritating.
Therefore, choosing the right player for VSD5 is also a problem. In general, iPhone and ordinary Android phones, ordinary MP3 players can basically be excluded, so users of the player please directly view the VSD3/3s evaluation report. We finally selected FIIO X1 Vivo X5Max, iBasso DX90 as the main reference. Music State Monitor 06 MX and Lotto Paw Gold as auxiliary reference. Contrast headphones use Vsonic VSD3s.
High-frequency performance: I have already talked about the high-frequency performance of many VSD5s. This is the most obvious part of VSD5's difference between VSD3s. In the case of 200 hours of full downtime, the high frequency of VSD5 is more relaxed and relaxed, and the sound field is slightly wider than VSD3s. However, because it must use a warm, soft sound source with VSD5, its high frequency and medium frequency density is slightly worse than VSD3. Of course, if you use Paw Gold, 06 MX, VSD5 can achieve significantly better dynamics. And density, but at this time the high-frequency taste is too heavy metal. 06 MX VSD5 high frequency has a kind of iron skin that is squeezed out [rich details, bright enough, but very unreal], under the VSD5 under the iPhone Ice slag flavor [out of control].
This style is difficult to cope with making very popular pop music, especially the high frequency of percussion instruments. Of course, on the X1 and DX90 players with poor resolution, it is a helpless complement. Of course, avoid encountering this. A slightly larger dynamic high frequency. VSD5 also exhibits very good high-frequency resolution, excellent explosiveness in the performance of wind instruments, and exceptionally simple transient performance. In well-recorded, high-frequency darkening fever recordings In the middle, the performance of VSD5 is better than VSD3. On X5Max, FIIO X1 and DX90, the tooth sound problem mentioned by everyone will be significantly improved.
In addition, in the B state, this metal taste is more obvious, more exciting, must be fully down.
IF performance : VSD5 has some changes in the intermediate frequency of different states. Under 200 hours, its intermediate frequency becomes stretched and softened [VSD5 IF is closer to VSD3s at 100 hours], compared with VSD3s, VSD5s The intermediate frequency is looser and the sound is slightly thinner. Due to the phenomenon of "highing up" that is difficult to avoid by high frequency, the intermediate frequency is slightly collapsed. Under the big dynamic, the sound of VSD3s is more full and solid, while the intermediate frequency of VSD5 is slightly better, dynamic slightly. Weak. For soft vocal performance, VSD5 is more beautiful and more delicate [various styles of vocals will appear a little more sweet].
For the performance of IF instrumental music, the VSD5 image is not dominant [relative to VSD3s], but the sound level in the big dynamics is more transparent than the VSD3s. But as mentioned earlier, we have to limit it by the sound source style. The high frequency performance, therefore, in this kind of sound source itself dynamic is not an advantage. Of course, this fierce style also makes many string IFs perform more vividly in some emotional sounds, medium and high frequency details Highlight the feeling that the overall sense of hearing is more detailed.
In some music programs with saliva songs and fever vocals, the VSD5 tooth sound problem is most vomited. The sound field of the tooth sound is generally distributed in the middle and high frequency and high frequency parts. However, because the vocal performance is brought out, everyone is used to it. The medium frequency of this device or this device is not good. This problem has been mentioned above. After more than 200 hours of downtime, this problem will be improved. Of course, your source is at least FIIO X1 or Vivo X5Max level.
Low frequency performance: The low frequency of VSD5 does not have the clean and neutral performance of GR07 MKII or even R04 Pro period, but is closer to the taste of VSD3s. Of course, it is only relatively close, there is still a certain difference. Its low frequency is more slack, low frequency It's a bit rich. But what's interesting is that when you encounter music that you like to audition low frequency, such as "drum" performance, we can feel the metal taste at high frequency, the transient speed is too fast, after the shock Relatively simple. This is similar to the vocal sound problem. It is simply said that the bass instrument also has a wealth of higher harmonics, and its transient details also determine some of its taste. Compared with the GR07 MKII, VSD3s, VSD5 The low frequency is not particularly high quality, but in the entry-level headphones and the loose style, it has significantly better dynamics than similar products, the thickness and resolution of the sound. Compared with VSD3s, the low frequency is more slack and the dynamic is better. [There are differences between different sources], the resolution is slightly better. The low frequency of VSD3s is harder.
Special VSD5: We are here to make a summary of the overall sound performance of VSD5.
First of all, the above evaluations are based on FIIO X1, DX90 and vivo X5Max [more forward two models, X5Max for medium and small volume and soft music]. We hope to get a softer high frequency VSD5 performance, which is actually It is an obvious contradiction. Many users said that the low frequency and dynamics of VSD5 are very good. If the sound source is changed to a more straight white or better sound card and player, the VSD5 dynamic will be improved compared with the above several sound sources, but High frequency may be difficult to control.
Many users use VSD5 with amp or decoder headphone output, because they find that the high frequency tooth and metal taste of VSD5 has better performance under the output of more powerful headphones. But this is not a panacea. For example, under HP11 or 06 MX, the correct tooth tone is better controlled, and the high-frequency resolution and dynamics are significantly improved. However, the high-frequency style at this time is more blunt and strange.
How do you choose VSD5 and VSD3s? When we listen to VSD5 for a long time and then go back to VSD3s, we will find that the progress of VSD5 is relatively limited. On ordinary mobile phones and entry players, VSD3s is easier to reach full intermediate frequency, relatively restrained style, and even more. It is a thick and rich low frequency; at this time, the high frequency of the VSD5 is hard to be harsh. Under the soft style of the player and the sound source, the VSD5 has the most balanced performance, but this does not limit the VSD5's original pursuit of high frequency characteristics? When you find a music that VSD5 sounds very good, in fact, there is no obvious shortage of VSD3s. In short, the high-frequency performance of VSD5 is always uncomfortable.
VSD5 is suitable for music. First of all, its high frequency has obvious modification marks, it will make the middle and high frequency and high frequency overall become more powerful, the transient response is very fast, the high frequency details are amplified, not suitable for large Dynamic and loud under pressure performance. Secondly, its high frequency has a good extension in the very high frequency part, has a good resolution, so that the music in the middle and high frequency part of the performance is brighter, rich in details, "speed" faster. Finally, for audio and music, VSD5 is obviously more picky than the average headset. In addition, the use of VSD5 at a small volume is a good choice, the sound will be more transparent than the same type of headphones, rich in details.
to sum up
The performance of the Vsonic VSD5 is somewhat unexpected. Its style is completely similar to that of the Sony EX1000. However, it shows us the "excellent" transient response of the dynamic diaphragm in recent years on small earplugs. The resolution. If there is no VSD3 series and VSD1 series, VSD5 has a low price of 399 yuan and excellent performance, which is enough for everyone to open the "eye" world, even worth recommending. But between GR07 Classic/MKII and VSD3 series, VSD5 More like a variant version of VSD3s, there are a lot of changes and advantages in detail, but it also brings more obvious problems. If you really like the high-frequency style, you have a soft style of playback. Perhaps VSD5 is more worthy than the VSD3 series.
In addition, in the player match we specifically recommend everyone to pay attention to FIIO X1, iBasso DX90, the phone is currently only suitable for vivo X5Max is right. And 06 MX, Paw Gold level player [speculative Sony ZX1 can also] or decoder, The amp can make the VSD5's high-frequency resolution and dynamic advantage better, but the sound is strange and hard. For iPod, iPhone-level or lower-level sources, please choose VSD3/3s directly.
