1000 yuan headphones are not necessarily better than 500 yuan

Today, Xiaobian was happy to get a pair of headphones worth 1,000 yuan. The quality was excellent and the tuning was also pleasing, so I couldn’t wait to listen to my friends. I wanted to get some heroes from his mouth. A little like the praise, how do he expect him to gently shake his head and take off his earphones, and said to me seriously: "I don't feel it, I still haven't got the 500-in-ear earphones."

I stumbled and wondered if my friend was confused or was joking with me. After all, "the more expensive the earphones, the better" seems to be the consensus of most people. Although the friends do not own the "golden ears", but the voice There are still some unique insights. I don’t know how to look at high-priced equipment. I have to humbly ask for advice. I want to hear the conclusion that the so-called "500 yuan earplugs are better than 1000 yuan headphones" is convincing. The results must be guessed, friends The point of view is actually the fact that many audio singers have neglected in the process of blindly burning some old ones - we listened to music after all, never changed.

All the audio enthusiasts who have gone on the fever road have a common intention. They want to make the music in the player better and more touching. So they bite their teeth and buy the most expensive earphone in life. Since then, you seem to be the best, the price of this headset may only be a bargain in the old eyes, but it is chosen by you personally, you choose it in the sea of ​​headphones, it is a fate, and you So I have harvested the touch of music. You should cherish this initial experience, because with the growth of experience, you have heard more and more headphones, and the equipment you purchase is getting more and more expensive, you gradually get from a burnt It became a master who praised the people in the circle, but he could no longer find the kind of "speaking" that was touched.

Because the original intention has changed, people's feelings have changed, and the purpose of adding headphones is no longer to seek moving music, but to become a pure desire for equipment. It is true that in the face of 1000 yuan headphones, 500 yuan into the quality of earplugs There may be no residue left. The "price determines the strength" is still very informative, unless it is based on design and refined in appearance materials, even if it is a cross-brand comparison, this law can be applied. The continuous improvement will lead to the relative loss of personality of the headphones. The personality here is not the characteristic of your high-frequency point, my medium-frequency is a little bit of this small family, but the difference in the overall style. It can be said that each Headphone brands have their own personality, but this personality is not reflected in most high-end headphones.

The reason is very simple. Personality is a partial cover. Do you think that a person with a long-term, beautiful, intelligent, and comprehensive development will have a personality? The same is true for the headset industry, because a headset has its limitations in quality. Therefore, manufacturers need to add personality to cover up this gap. Although they can't resolve the disintegration, they can at least make the headphones sound more dynamic. This kind of personality is generally called "tone dyeing", which is headphone tuning. The inevitable method used in the process (except for professional-level monitor headphones). Headphones with strong quality are inevitably less balanced and more balanced, because manufacturers no longer need to hide the defects in quality, and the tuning method will be more subtle and subtle, so Ordinary people will feel the same sound when they enjoy high-end headphones. Only those old ones will compare AB carefully, and then instill in you "this is more dynamic", "the bass has a box smell" and even "you can hear N The audience in Block M sneezed a sneeze. "After a wonderful sense of hearing, you were finally moved and paid."

Those headset players who have gone from the first burn to the middle burn do not have this similar experience? They are deeply impressed by the powerful resolution of the headphones, and constantly abandon the original old "bargains" in order to pursue a higher level. And trying to save money, in exchange for a pile of expensive equipment and complacency. Your bookshelf is no longer a piece of gold music album that once touched you, but it is used to test whether the equipment is "low bass," The middle of the sound, the high-pitched sweet "fevery dish, may I ask if there is any complacency? Again, you are holding the pile of unrecognizable, tens of thousands of headphones to listen to popular pop music, this is not killing chicken. Do you use a slaughter knife?

This is not nonsense. The current popular music is based on the atmosphere and vocals. The atmosphere is of course the more the bass, the better, enough to mobilize the whole person's auditory nerve. Or the singer has a good singing ability, you can use each Singing to evoke the listener's resonance. There is one of them. If there is no atmosphere and no singing, then you should stop the pop singer and change quickly. The topic is recovered, it is not difficult to find popular pop music instrumental music. The programming and recording technology is not too demanding. Then, what do you mean by listening to the atmosphere and vocals with thousands of headphones? High-end headphones pay attention to the balance of sound, you think they will give You are very hot and passionate about the pop music atmosphere? The vocal restoration can at least touch the high-end headphones, you can feel the immersion of the song, but if you want it to be beautiful, the vocal sweet High-end headphones are really very difficult to find, you might as well try to hit the middle and low-end headphones with heavier sound, perhaps even more flavor.

After all, this is a trade-off between music and resilience. High-end headphones must restore light taste, and poor quality headphones must improve their taste by highlighting their taste. For popular music, headphones do not need to be wide. The sound field and the superior analysis, on the contrary, the narrow sound field and the slightly confusing sound of the background music can bring out the strong pop music flavor. Just like the fried pork chops must be spicy sauce, pay attention to a match, you must Adding XO sauce will only show you the bandits, not the taste. If you are a symphony, opera, rock fan, then the analytical headphones are of course more suitable for you. Everything follows your own hobbies and musical styles. .

So you don't necessarily need high-end equipment. Those expensive headphones will also bring a common problem - the impedance is too high. Just as pushing the card requires more horsepower, you take a car to pull the container. What is the neurological disease? The size of the diaphragm and the earplugs are not at one level at all, and the required thrust is also greater, so that the performance of the headphones can be fully utilized. Many people will fall into a misunderstanding, buy headphones only to buy expensive, not to buy Yes, holding a mobile phone or a cheap player listening to thousands of headphones, I think it is superior to those with hundreds of headphones.

Excluding some personal hobbies, obviously those headphones with thousands of dollars can not bring you the sound quality far better than hundreds of earplugs. On the contrary, the earplugs are easier to drive due to the small size of the diaphragm, and the sound is more relaxed and natural with the mobile phone. It’s not impossible to be better than a thousand yuan headphones. Of course, Xiao Bian is not promoting the importance of high-priced players, but you must understand that it is unnecessary to discard the big and bad of the brand. It’s worthless. We’re always listening to music. It’s impossible to say that if you listen to music with dozens of earplugs, it’s very low and despised. You can’t hear the singer because you’re using low-end headphones. Singing. The fact is that the ability of people on Earth to appreciate sound is extremely limited and the level is very different. This is an important factor restricting people's purchase of a second headset.

Conversely, those who insist on using the original earplugs are the most enviable, because they are the most calm, they are really listening to music, not what is a fever song, nor expensive equipment. Even if the equipment is not high-end They are still able to appreciate the joys and sorrows of music, and at this point, what is the difference between low-end and high-end headphones?

Playing audio is just like playing a camera. It is a hard-burning way to burn money. I remember that Xiaobian was only a ignorant first-time fever a few years ago, but also "move us to always be music, not equipment" as its motto. I firmly believe that music is the source of impressing people. Now I see more worlds, listening to more equipment, and I am somewhat confused. I lost the earplugs that I bought 500 yuan that year and I was excited to hear the morning. The truth is true. The answer given by my friend is very simple. He listens to popular dance music. The low frequency of the 1000 yuan headphones is too light and can not give him a dynamic atmosphere. And I prefer the string music, the headphones are bright. The high frequency is just my dish, so the difference of opinion between us is so disparate.

1000 yuan headphones will not be better than 500 yuan, the reason is only that everyone's attitude is different, what kind of opinions you have on music, the preference for headphones personality, the preference for music style, will affect you to a The view of the headphones. If you think that there will be good music in good equipment, it is really a big mistake, because it is always music, not equipment.
