Upgrade the balance line secret, Z5 and HH1000A flagship earbuds change the line experience

Since it is a product, it is naturally inseparable from the production of materials, and different materials can create different commodities. In the early years, there was a classic earplug named MDR-E888, which used a scarce bio-diaphragm technology to create a generation of female poison models. Mass production began in 1994 until the end of production in 2011, and for 18 years, it has created a legend of the long life cycle of earplugs. After the suspension of production, it is hard to find a price. It can also be said that it is a feeling of hype, but sometimes listening to music, isn't it the unique sense of hearing that belongs to one's own age?

With the leap forward of the times, more attention has been paid to the material technology, opening the era of changing the earplugs! It is not enough to pursue the ultimate material only for the earplug cavity, but also to succumb to the difference in the material of the connecting wire, and finally the improvement of the sound quality.

Since the income of PHA3, after the persuasion of the fans, it is determined that the upgrade balance line of the Sofa family must be added, the specific model MUC-M20BL1. The side of the package is annotated with a multi-conductor design with silver-plated OFC and star-shaped twisted wires.

The back of the package gives a more detailed explanation of the wire advantage. The simple summary is the material used, which can effectively reduce the sound loss caused by signal transmission and improve the fluency of each audio segment and LR dual channel.

After opening the plaque, you can see that the legalist has a black lacquered storage bag.

For a long time, take a look at the true face of the MUC-M20BL1. The port adopts the MMCX standard, L is marked with silver, and R is marked with red. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the use of the left and right channels. As for how to change the line? The original heart does not have to worry too much, anyway, it is facing the front of the port, you can pull it out.

The appearance of the wire looks like "hemp rope". It can't be chic, but it can feel thick and durable. The MUC-M20BL1 line has a length of 2 meters.

There are two earplugs for this line-change operation, namely SONY's XBA-Z5 and ELECOM's new flagship plug EHP-R/HH1000A.

XBA-Z5 most people first listened to their comments, nothing more than two evaluations "boring" or "not boring", some people think that because of the tuning modification, it is not as good as the EX1000. After all, tuning this kind of thing, hundreds of people will have hundreds of preferences, and it is difficult to adjust. There may be two streams of quality that pursue the restoration of the original sound. After the initial listening, the evaluation will judge the sound "boring" and not like it.

As a small partner who has been in contact with Sofa for more than 20 years, I am very aware that the connection between the equipments is a pit. Since the upgrade balance line is intentionally launched, the quality of the original XBA-Z5 wire must be retained. Is the truth really like this?

Look at the appearance, and the difference between the original wiring of the XBA-Z5 is that there is no troublesome design around the ear, and it is a simple and rude straight plug, which is a more pleasing place. Because it is too lazy to bring the ear every time, but also have to bother to adjust the angle around the ear. Starting from the convenience, this perfect score has the necessity of "upgrading".

After the initial upgrade to the upgrade balance line, the most obvious feeling is the sublimation of transparency. The specific feeling is that the separation of the three frequencies in the airflow has been changed to the extreme, solving the overtone problem that would otherwise occur in the low frequency. Got a strong boost. Solved the problem that some people think that the XBA-Z5 pronunciation will be "boring", so this time the line change is necessary. At least the upgrade balance line should be replaced before the comment, and it is more appropriate to make a final conclusion.

Sawano Hiroyuki, Japanese composer and arranger. The representative work "Mobile Suit Gundam UC", the melody is very beautiful in the electronic orchestral music, with the combination of metal guitar, drumming and other multi-group instruments and vocal chorus, so that the music ignition point can be improved. Sometimes calm, sometimes intricate mid-high and low-frequency ensembles, if the earplugs lack of resolving power, it is easy to feel "boring". Putting on the XBA-Z5 with the upgraded balance line, it is very good to show the magnificent instrumental music and sound field in the music scene.

In Japan's electronic stores, there is still a tradition, that is, the physical appearance of goods can be seen everywhere, the advantage is that consumers can listen to the game at random, the disadvantage is that it is easy to pay attention to, the physical appeal plus The enthusiasm of the clerk has a "hands-on" phenomenon.
