is excellent in sound and appearance-Feiao New X1 Test

first saw Feiao's new X1, and it has been more than half a month since we got the new X1 from Feiao. This period of time is mainly to play with this player. I have to say that after playing with the new X1, we will soon like this product. Although personally, this product still has room for improvement in design, but in terms of its price and performance, the new X1 should be an audio player that is relatively easy to succeed!

appearance design: less than outside, more than inside

saw the new X1 in the factory for the first time, it was quite amazing. After playing for a long time, the freshness will naturally fade away. However, I still affirm Feiao's appearance design on the new X1.

The new X1 shell is made of aluminum alloy as expected, with a round waist design and a good grip. In terms of the neatness of the corners and arcs, Feiao has not lowered the standard because the new X1 focuses on the low end. At least in players below 1,000 yuan, the metal shell can be played so smoothly. Except Feiao's new X1, I haven't seen a second one. Metal materials, neat and smooth corners are easy to make people feel good at the first impression, which Feiao Xin X1 obviously knows well.

Feiao New X1 should be very difficult to disassemble. The author searched the whole fuselage and found no screws, so naturally there was no way to disassemble it. When dismantling the Rainbow C200 before, he had already complained that it was not good to disassemble it. This time, facing Feiao New X1, the author directly cut off the idea of disassembling the machine.

In addition to the metal shell, in the middle part, Feiao did not inlay the control key in the metal like X5, but drew a part of it separately. This part feels especially good. From the appearance, it does not change much from the previous X1, and the function keys are the same, so Feiao users will continue their previous usage habits on the new X1!

on the whole, Feiao Xin X1 gives the personal feeling that it is already a product with outstanding design in low-end machines. Compared with Jr of Avery, it may not seem kawaii, but compared with many domestic players, Feiao Xin X1 undoubtedly has certain advantages.

control function: touch is excellent, Bluetooth car is the highlight

from the function of the new X1, there are three points that are different from the new X1. This is not different from the old X1, but different from most other similar products.

is control. The old X1 uses turntable control. The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantage is that it sometimes fails or has a sense of obstruction. However, this time the new X1 gave up the design of the physical turntable and directly adopted the touch turntable operation. It is quite talented and has accurate directivity and positioning. Of course, this kind of control also requires users to get used to and pay attention to details. Otherwise, it is common for fingers to slide too much and run off. We have experienced this method on Apple's iPod before. Feiao X1's operating feeling is no worse than that of iPod. Of course, there is a difference between the two technologies, so Feiao can also bypass Apple's patent pit.

followed by Bluetooth. Bluetooth originally wanted to be put into the sound quality, but think about it, let's put it in the function part. This time Feiao's new X1 is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support APT-X, but the APT-X itself is only a standard, not a hard hardware device (as can be seen from the Win10 and Mac OS system support APT-X), so it can be expected that Feiao will add APT-X to their player's Bluetooth function in the future. Feiao's new X1's Bluetooth performance is not bad. After listening to it with S1000, the effect is better than expected, and the delay is not as big as expected. Under this circumstance, whether it is put at home or on the car, the Bluetooth speaker has a place to display its talents. After all, it is quite a pity for the author to put X7 on the car to connect Bluetooth to listen to it!

then comes the deep standby that I prefer, which is very cool to use immediately. Apple's IPC and Sony's players have this and function, which is very practical. However, it is still a little slow when waking up, which is acceptable, but I hope the official will continue to optimize.

is the on-board function. The on-board function is required to be connected to the AUX interface of the car, the car starts, and then the new X1 starts. This function is quite convenient. The author has not tried the USB port, and I don't know if it will work. However, this function itself shows the difference between the new X1 and other players.

the price of the new X1 is 666 yuan, which is not expensive for most music lovers. Obviously, Feiao hopes that the new X1 is an entry-level machine that can play a role in all fields. With its rich functions and low price, it should attract many people!

sound quality performance: wide adaptability, slightly different from old X1

listened to the new X1 for two weeks and used a lot of headphones. The IM03 of the iron triangle, AX35 of Astra and GR10 of Goethe all tried! Also calculate a little experience!

First of all, it is certain that the new X1 is slightly different from the old X1 in sound orientation, but the general direction is basically the same. The old X1 has a warm voice and strong wrapping, which makes it easy for people to indulge in it and forget the details of sound quality. However, the sound of the new X1 is still warmer, lighter than that of the old X1. The feeling of wrapping still exists when listening, but it will not be as closed as the old X1. It is difficult to say what kind of sound orientation is more suitable for users. After all, the feeling of the two is still close after all, and there may not be much difference for ordinary users.

in terms of sound quality, the sound of the new X1 is not stronger than that of the old X1, which is very natural. after all, the cost is here, and you can't compare the 666 yuan machine with the 2000 yuan machine. As for the recently popular thousand-dollar machines, some products that are not well tuned sound worse than the new X1. This is not determined by the details of a certain piece of music, but the overall ability to control the sound.

the new X1 belongs to omnivores in terms of some music auditioned by individuals. All kinds of music still sound like a model. Some machines that I have heard can listen to popular and small-scale music, but it is terrible to encounter rock and electric music. The new X1 obviously does not have this problem. Any music can sound like this. Of course, classical and large-scale music is not suitable for playing on the new X1. It is estimated that no one will buy a new X1 to play like this! Interestingly, the horizontal sound field performance of the new X1 is better than that of the old X1, which will make the new X1 more advantageous than the old X1 in some music types.

the analysis of the new X1 is basically half a catty and eight taels compared with the old X1, uh, that is, it is not high, and the sound is similar. Of course, this is also the performance of low-end machines. From this point of view, at present, some of the mobile phones featuring HiFi in the 2000 of Laiyuan have little problem in terms of pure sound quality over the new X1, so both X1 generations try their best to approach ordinary users in terms of listening feeling, which is also the right choice.

, the new X1 obviously has more sense of quantity than the old X1. The low-frequency quality is not bad. It has a certain density and will not make people feel dry and scattered. This is also the reason why the new X1 plays rock and roll better than many thousand-dollar players. At the same time, the good degree of separation of the new X1 also makes people feel that the low frequency is appropriate when listening to songs. It has a sense of existence but will not disturb the medium and high frequency.

is slightly different from that of the old X1. Although the human voice is relatively close, the new X1 also has an obvious sense of distance. With warm timbre and good sense of range, it is still easy to immerse people in high-quality human voice. The listening feeling is really good.

the high-frequency part, the new X1 is more general, which is also the place where entry-level players and higher-priced devices are easy to compare. The high frequency of the new X1 sounds a bit embellished and not exciting. In this way, listening to popular music or listening to some electric sounds can give you a fairly relaxed listening feeling. However, listening to some string music makes you feel a little collapsed. Of course, you still cannot ask too much! Besides, who bought a 666 yuan machine to listen to string music?

Summary: Digital Products Suitable for Ordinary Users

the new X1 is a music player with good sound, good appearance design and good control. On the whole, its performance exceeds the author's expectation, especially the design and control. In terms of sound, it is still very friendly to ordinary users. The whole sound performance can highlight its own characteristics. As for the shortcomings we think, I am afraid that it does not care about or feel it in the user group it is aimed!

the new X1 is a colleague who has maintained the sound quality. It focuses on appearance and function. In fact, low-end machines below 1,000 yuan should pay attention to it. Personally, I think the strategy is completely correct! As far as its performance is concerned, I personally feel that it is not necessary to divide high-fever users and entry-level users. As long as you like music, you can buy one to play. Bluetooth and car mode, coupled with excellent touch dial operation, are indeed suitable for use in various occasions!
