Every time Vivo Xplay series phones are introduced, audio decoding solutions are always a focus. More and more mobile phone manufacturers spend much time thinking about audio decoding solutions, which means that the sound quality of mobile phones is also getting better and better. Thousands of yuan audio players have been challenged and even the market is not optimistic, and they are often evaluated as inferior to mobile phones.
So a thousand yuan player is really not as good as a mobile phone? This problem is still seen in many ways. The digital player is the product of the transition from media to digital. The emergence of MP3 slowly replaced the market position of tapes and CDs, because MP3 does not require additional media and uses comparisons, but initially MP3 players have relatively small storage space. MP3 files have high compression ratios and poor sound quality. They are far inferior to CD players and cannot meet the needs of fans. This has led to the support of high-definition audio players for lossless formats. Then the development of smart phones gradually eliminated the ordinary MP3. As Meizu, a well-known brand of domestic MP3, expected this, early in the day when suddenly gave up MP3 research and development to turn and do smart phone M8, many fans and charm friends for Sorry. Perhaps they are really right, the mobile phone market is much larger than the player market. In today's market, more and more mobile phones have integrated audio decoding chips, and the sound quality provided by Cloud Music, QQ Music, Netease and other platforms is much higher than before, and the sound quality is nearly lossless. In addition, the convenience of operation has become the strongest opponent of the thousand-digit digital player.
Listen to music using a mobile phone or a player? I personally feel that the two are not in conflict and that the applicable environment and people are different. For me, it's a half-burner. There are several entry-level earbuds on the player. In general, the most common way to use public transport to commute is to listen to music on mobile phones. In general, you will use the player to listen to songs at home. The mobile phone is generally charged. The frequency used by the player is not too high, two to three times a week. Usually it is rarely taken out, unless you participate in an offline meeting. As a fancier does not have a personal device, you are not too happy to participate. Therefore, the player has no substantive meaning for most consumers. They have no pursuit in this regard. It may be seen on the subway that there are 10 earphones for 7 people using the Iphone with an earphone, and some may be because of the original The earplugs were dropped, and the taobao 40,50 high-fidelity plugs were still in use. It can be said that 1/20 is not enough to have HiFi ear buds with a value over 500. Therefore, it is unlikely that music phones will replace digital players. People who need them will buy them, and those who don’t need them will disregard them.
Gossip more talk, or talk about recently played AUNE M1s audio player. It takes about 5, 6 days to reach this player. It's not too long to share it briefly.
Aune M1S HiFi Player Portable Lossless Music Player Fever Grade Walkman MP3 Player DSD Hard Solution Black 1199 Yuan Jingdong Direct Link Nothing to say about packaging, the design of the gold AUNE in the middle of the black carton is simple and simple.
Accessories are fairly complete, player host, silicone sleeve, film, data cable (data line is the green line)
Player metal body, 2.4-inch black and white non-touch screen, full-key design, the middle circular direction keys. Compared with traditional player design ideas, workmanship is fairly neat, and there is no place for novel designs. Advantages, great texture, the disadvantage is that the metal backboard is easily contaminated fingerprint fingerprint.
The manufacturer's machine is equipped with a silicone sleeve. The advantage of wearing a silicone sleeve is that the winter touch will not feel too ice. The disadvantage is that the silicone sleeve is easily sticky gray and the shell is slightly thicker. It is recommended that the manufacturer design an ultra-thin clear water jacket. And the middle of the button is not all-inclusive, all-inclusive really does not look good.
Domestically-designed things now have good hardware configurations, but the firmware system has always been a weakness. AUNE this machine's firmware is also decent enough, boot speed is about 3s faster, TF card song update speed, almost no sense of the process of updating the track. But the disadvantage is that there is no song breakpoint memory function; the other volume does not set the preload value, the volume setting preload safety value is still more important, if you connect a high resistance large headphones so the volume adjustment is relatively large, and shut down When you forget to recall the volume, the next time you use a high-sensitivity, low-resistance earbud, once you start playing music, the volume of the earbud is very large, and it is easy to damage the earbuds and damage your hearing. The opinion still needs to be corrected.
The most important feature from this player logo is that it supports 32-bit DSD hard decoding. This should be something that the general mobile phone does not have.
M1S player's thrust is a medium level, not very powerful and not a tasteless, such as the HE400S is not difficult to wait on the big ears do not need to bundle earbuds can well play the level of earplugs, Push HE400S Po The mouth volume needs to be adjusted to about 60 (about 2/3) or so is right for me. For general earplugs adjust the volume to 1/2.
The other player in the audio player does not have a balanced output. The M1s has two output ports, a 3.5 Po port and a 2.5 balanced output port. My Xiaoqiang uses a balanced output of 3.5, and the player itself is not equipped with a 3.5 to 2.5 patch cord, so there is basically no comparison of the balance between the two.
The sound characteristics of the AUNE M1s player are quite obvious, that is, the vocals are more prominent, typical of the popular style of tuning, this player vocal centered close to the ear, very prominent and very attractive attention, sound gentle and delicate There is no obvious tooth sound and is not sexy, the overall sound is not thick and thin, the sound field is generally slightly smaller, the brightness of the sound is not clear or dark, high-frequency clear resolution is still fairly good extension of control. Low volume feel is not much texture, diving is powerful and flexible. The sound style is more suitable for the popular, clear and well-adapted line, the overall thickness is generally not shocking, may be slightly less satisfactory in the large-scale preparation.
The difference between the voice and Xiaoqiang is that the overall M1s tri-band vocals are prominent, the Supermini is relatively more balanced, and the M1s on the sound field are slightly smaller. The SuperMini at the low frequencies is more full than the M1s, and the sound is more profound and the M1s sound is relatively fresh. Thrust strength is also significantly stronger than M1s, but Xiaoqiang therefore has the problem of noise floor. In terms of overall quality, SuperMini is stronger, but the gap is relatively small, which is in line with his price.
to sum up:
The audio player is always the niche player's plaything, the market is not as big as the mobile phone, but this niche market is not a mobile phone can be replaced at once. The mobile phone is for the public to listen to music, while the audio player is tossing the enthusiasts. The joy of a fancier is to keep tossing, and it's no fun that day.
M1s as a whole is considered a law-abiding product, there is no particularly brilliant place, Yan value is not high, the quality is not particularly prominent, there is room for improvement in the design feel, such as the design of the button, this product button comparison Loose, and there will be abnormal sounds that need improvement. Another place is the rationality of the layout of the space. It feels like the player should have space to shrink, and it can be more compact. It is hoped that the manufacturers can improve and the quality of the products can be better.
In summary, the advantages and disadvantages of the product can be summed up in the following points:
advantage:
1. The player supports DSD hard decoding, higher sound reproduction, and natural resistance to tuning.
2. Long battery life, low impedance earplugs can be maintained for 7-8 hours.
3. The firmware responds quickly, updating tracks, switching songs with lower delays.
4 with 2.5 balanced output, and the noise control is better, there is no obvious noise floor.
Disadvantages:
The player does not have storage space on its own, and it requires TF card support to upgrade the firmware and store music files.
Value is not high, the internal space utilization needs to be improved, the machine button is a little loose, there is abnormal sound when pressing.
The lack of humanization of the firmware, such as the boot volume automatically restore the predetermined value.
There is a 3.5 to 2.5 balance switch cable. If you have a balanced earbuds on your hands, you need to use a separate patch cable.
