a good example of national brick in the new era FiiO X7 Mark II three-unit ring iron earplug F9
FiiO X7 was first launched, it became a clear stream in the national brick industry. A brick-level audio playback system was stuffed into a small body that was relatively convenient. It also had a good appearance and was well received by consumers. welcome. Recently, X7 has welcomed a new model. While practicing its internal skills, it has not forgotten to continuously optimize the user experience, bringing us a fully optimized X7 Mark II. Let's watch a short operation video first (after 35 seconds, it is the system operation experience video, and those who are not interested can skip it directly)
FiiO X7 Mark Ⅱis the change of shape,passed on fromX5 Ⅲthe beginning of the family-style side independent volume wheel and geometric cutting design.
I am very poisoned by this simple, low-key and smart design. A simple one-sided change instantly gives vitality to the square bricks. The geometric cutting design looks very coordinated, and the metal volume pulsator looks full of texture. The overall design is not only beautiful, but also reduces the probability of volume misoperation, and at the same time greatly improves the grip of the whole machine. In addition to the volume control, the main playback operation buttons are also concentrated on the left side of the body, namely "pause/play", "previous" and "next".
, the slight regret is that the operation experience of the volume pulsator is still insufficient. The sliding range between each two volume scales is relatively large, and there will be a relatively loose feeling. I don't know if it is an individual problem.
There are no more buttons on the right side of the fuselage. The original TF card slot is now two. Moreover, the "black pit" card slot has been changed into a hidden Cato design. Each card slot supports TF cards with a maximum capacity of 256G, totaling 512G. The fuselage itself has 64G internal storage. It is both practical and beautiful, and there is no need to worry about DSD or HiRes music files.
switch button was moved to the top of the fuselage, and the LineOut was also retained at the top of the fuselage. In addition to the traditional LO/coaxial output, it also has the capability of optical fiber output.
switch key has also been greatly improved, with beautiful appearance and good hand feeling.
FiiO X7 Mark Ⅱcontinues the design of the X7 replaceable ear module, and can completely use all the ear modules of the X7 era. The new machine is accompanied by a new earpiece module AM3A equipped with both single-ended and balanced output interfaces.
, due to the use of all previous ear modules, it is bound to affect the miniaturization and lightweight process of X7 Mark II, and too much shrinkage will be incompatible with the original ear shape. But even so, the length of the new machine is 1.2mm shorter than X7, the thickness is 1mm thinner, and the weight is 10g lighter. The back of the new machine has been leveled and seems to be coordinated a lot.
coupled with the mysterious addition of the factory clear water jacket, the hand feeling of X7 Mark II has been greatly improved. There is no longer the discomfort of being fat and easy to fall.
also comes with a leather case and a screwdriver for disassembling and replacing the ear module. The screwdriver is not very delicate
to maintain a good hand feeling, the leather case is designed to be relatively thin. After installing the holster, the feeling of holding will not be greatly reduced due to obesity. The main color of black also makes the design style of the machine low-key and calm a lot.
box is simple and calm, and the small gold label on the black box is particularly eye-catching. The cover is no longer that inexplicable foreign woman.
inner box is also more exquisite and humanized. The side is open with magnetic inner buckle. The internal display draws on the small box assembly form of most domestic mobile phones. The card pick-up pin I saw when I opened the box for the first time was even more surprising. I wondered if I had unpacked a mobile phone. In fact, when I think about it later, it is not impossible to add a SIM card slot. With a flow card, I can quickly search for the songs I want to listen to anywhere and present them in a higher quality way.
finish the appearance improvement, and then talk about the internal improvement. In order to ensure a smoother operation experience, the memory of X7 Mark II is increased to 2G. 5G wifi is equipped with gigabit routing, which can achieve faster transmission speed than wired (USB2.0). APT-X Bluetooth transmission improves the effect of wireless headphones and speakers. Quick Charge2.0 and Pump Express are supported. The above improvements have little to do with sound quality, but they have greatly improved the user experience. When listening to songs with a player, you always need to consume all the electricity and then charge it. You always need to touch the screen to select songs. You always need to add new songs to the player. Personally, I think the improvement of this use experience is the right way to make products.
and slot points also exist. The compatibility between fast charging and my Anker QC2.0 charger is not good. The green indicator light started by QC is not on, and the machine also shows that USB charging is being carried out. The speed is very slow. However, the charging speed is relatively fast after replacing compatible QC charging equipment. I hope this problem can be improved through firmware upgrade in the future. In addition, the transmission speed through the traditional USB is still quite slow. Fortunately, you can choose to directly use the USB3.0 card reader to store it in the TF card, or you can transfer files through 5G wifi.
voice. I am very impressed by the voice of X7, and X7 Mark II has been further improved on the basis of X7. I have always firmly believed that good hardware is the bottom building of good sound, and when good sound quality is guaranteed, we will talk about listening. X7 Mark II uses ES9028 Pro decoding chip, three independent ring vibrato, and a new double-layer anti-interference shield on the circuit board to ensure high-quality and low-noise output.
The new AM3A ear module has a 3.5mm single-ended output and a 2.5mm balanced output. AM3 uses 6 OPA1622 operational amplifier chips, of which 4 are used for balanced output and 2 are used for single-ended output. AM3A is optimized on the basis of AM3, which improves the sense of hearing while improving the quality.
SE846 under balanced output, you can clearly feel the expansion of the sound field brought by full thrust. Various musical instruments are evenly distributed in a wide space. When listening to songs, you can easily focus your attention on a certain musical instrument or human voice. The integrity of the music will not be destroyed, and the atmosphere is very good. The three-frequency distribution is balanced. Compared with AM1, there is a little optimization in the tuning. You can feel a little increase in the vocal part and the low-frequency part, but the adjustment is definitely within an acceptable range and will not affect various The timbre of musical instruments. Transient and parsing are very good, and there will be no extra overtones and procrastination to interfere with powerful parsing. With HiRES high-quality sound source, you can hear more information. The most impressive one is Aiko's summer clothes. The subtle hoarse graininess in the sound line is very well expressed.
X7's expression of orchestral music is very positive, and the timbre of various instruments is not distorted. Under the condition of large thrust of balanced output, you can feel that each music group is calm and orderly, and at the same time, it can be retracted and released freely. Compared with the M1s player that I heard before, the X7 brick has obvious advantages, such as greater thrust, larger sound field, higher timbre density, and more complete timbre performance of various musical instruments. Not only is the overall music performance excellent, but it is also very complete and beautiful to listen to the timbre by carrying out a certain musical instrument alone.
HMI has also evolved greatly in terms of human-computer interaction and is more user-friendly in terms of operation logic. It can basically realize most operation functions in the music playing interface, such as EQ, playing sequence, Bluetooth, previous song, next song, pause/play, add collection, and even delete songs directly from the player in this interface. In addition to displaying the song name and artist, the display part also displays the serial number of the song in the current playlist. You can see the total number of songs and the sequence of the current song. Touch the cover to switch to the lyrics display and power output table. In the case of one-handed operation, you can also directly use gestures to control the volume and switch songs, which is very humanized. In terms of UI design, compared with X7, the word "refined" should still be very appropriate. There are no more complicated lines, transparent or translucent floating menus, and the overall design is simple, generous and easy to use. I am very satisfied.
on the whole, X7 Mark II is upgraded from every conceivable small detail, from quantitative change to qualitative change, and the overall improvement effect is very significant. It has become better to listen to and better to use at the same time. It can really be called a good example of national bricks in the new era.
came with X7 Mark II and this three-unit iron earplug. When I first learned this plug information from the Internet, I saw an introduction about comfort. The F9 model draws on the westone with the highest comfort evaluation and shure model in the ear earplugs to ensure long-term wear. Comfort and sound insulation ensure that the best sound can be provided when used outdoors. At that time, I felt that the plug was going in the right direction. Most of the application scenarios of portable earplugs were not at home. At this time, it has a very high dependence on sound insulation and noise reduction effect and wearing comfort. Personally, I am very willing to pay for products with such consideration.
's second surprise was the storage box I saw when I opened the box. It was simply cool.
I haven't had this type of storage box yet. It seems that high-end multi-unit custom earplugs will be used in the past. This box of F9 is obviously much better than those. Although the texture is not very outstanding. But good-looking is enough.
F9 adopts replaceable line design, and the interface is MMCX compatible with shure and westone.
provides two sets of silicone sleeves for users to choose from.
unit is as mentioned just now, referring to the shape of westone and shure. The surface also has a distinctive ripple design, which is very beautiful after wearing.
three-unit ring iron is a routine structure of 2 iron and 1 ring. The conduit is neither thin nor thick, and the filter screen is exquisite in workmanship.
another big surprise is that it is equipped with two wires, one 3.5mm single-ended wire with wire control and one 2.5mm balance wire. According to the actual measurement, the two wires are very soft and strong, have no stethoscope effect, and have their own winding buckle. In particular, I am very satisfied with this 3.5mm line with a wire-controlled microphone. I can adjust the volume when I go out to pick up the mobile phone and answer it directly when I call. It is very convenient. Unfortunately, it seems that I can only control the volume when I receive the mobile phone. I pressed the volume for a long time and then the volume exploded directly.
, this 2.5mm MMCX balance line is just a conscience compared to the retail version of SE1B. The wire has better texture, softer and more comfortable to wear. The key match SE846 and X7 Mark II are better than SE1B.
based on the above, F9 has made a lot of efforts in sound insulation, comfort and wire, which alone is enough to make me willing to pay for its price of less than 700 yuan. However, the voice of F9 did not disappoint at all. First of all, as a ring iron earplug, the sound of F9 is very complete, without sound faults and obvious incongruity, giving full play to the high frequency characteristics of the moving iron unit and the surging low frequency characteristics of the moving iron unit, which is better than some possibly higher-end ring iron earplugs.
, in order to take into account the preferences of most listeners and the needs of going out, the overall voice is still on the lower side. The overall sense of hearing is relatively warm. When going out to pick up a mobile phone to listen to songs, the more low frequency is just offset by the noisy external environment, and the sound is very complete and beautiful. When I showed this stopper to my boss for audition, I was even more praised as a small 846 and was very happy to buy it. When using balanced output connection X7 at home, using SE1B wire connection can make the low frequency convergent, the high frequency louder and brighter, and bring a better sense of hearing. I feel that at this price, there seems to be no more conscientious earplugs. If the budget is enough, sell it.
experience FiiO X7 Mark II and F9 products, we can feel from every detail that the manufacturers are making products very attentively, which makes me have more favorable impression on FiiO brand and hope that FiiO can provide us with better products in all aspects in the future.
