First of all, we must thank Zhang Aunt. The first time in life was so ruthlessly deprived by the aunt... The moment when I received the SMS could not believe my eyes, because the brand Skullcandy was concerned about for a long time, did not expect This time I was really fortunate to experience Skullcandy's latest sports headphones. Not much to say, start the topic ~
First, prepare to open the box
Aunt's work efficiency was really high. On June 28, he informed the public that the test application was successful → June 30 shipment → July 4 saw the legendary “value arrivedâ€.
Carefully open the package, which quietly lying on the headphones and the public notice. As a good student of Aunt Zhang, I carefully read every sentence that I need to know.
These are all the contents. Although they are all measured, Skullcandy still comes with a small bracelet, which is almost full of conscience.
However, even more surprising is that the gift of a small bracelet night has a luminous effect, very cool, full of flavor.
Second, formally opened
As a brand with a fashionable positioning, Skullcandy also devoted a lot of effort to the packaging design. Red with a graffiti wall design, eye-catching 骷髅 logo, so that XTplyo's packaging as a whole on the tide full of flavor.
On the back, XTplyo's basic parameters, warranty information, and anti-counterfeit information are specified. Through the window you can see the main body of the headphones lying still. Another box on the earmarked retail price of 499 soft sister paper, and the current price of domestic channels is 349 soft sister paper, is it just the earphones on the market price cut it.
The bottom of the box is marked with various certification and environmental information.
The hanging buckle on the top of the box is movable. It seems simple, but it is a very interesting little design.
After disassembling the lanyard and hang buckle, it can be found that the lanyard is actually a wristband. It can be seen that Skullcandy's designers did a lot of work.
The unique design of the inside of the package allows XTplyo to lay firmly inside, but the slot of the remote control and headphone is very tight. Be sure to take care when removing it. Do not pull the cable off. It is recommended that the remote and headphones be squeezed directly from the back of the box, which would be much safer.
For accessories, XTplyo comes with a storage bag, a lapel clip and an additional three sets of different sizes of silicone sleeves.
The 4 sets of silicone sleeves included with XTplyo are actually two large and small silicone sleeves of different designs. Here specifically talk about the gap with a silicone sleeve, put the headset after the mid-frequency part became significantly thin, almost no low-frequency part, the sound quality compared to the Apple iPhone4 era headphones even worse than a few levels. If it is not a sturdy logo, it is just 10 yuan to spread the goods. This kind of in-ear earphone wear feeling + earbud earphone sound quality feel really strange.
Although there is a large logo on the collar clip, the overall plastic feels extremely strong and cheap, and it can completely lower the headset by a few grades.
Second, the appearance
As a real tidal brand in the headset, the avant-garde appearance is the best part of Skullcandy, and the XTplyo's classic cymbals are very nice.
The shape of XTplyo is very unique. Although the night was dark, the distance was still very easy to separate. For the outsourcing party, XTplyo will surely please them.
XTplyo's silicone sleeves can also be replaced at will, with a soft texture. Unfortunately, the fins cannot be replaced.
The logo can be seen everywhere on the XTplyo. There is also one on the front of the line control and the only physical button on the headset. But what I do not understand is that there is no button on the remote control of the headset to adjust the volume! ! ! It's hard to imagine that when you're doing intense sports, you'll need to tap the phone to adjust the volume. In addition, as advertised, XTplyo can play/pause, play the next/next, and answer the phone via the remote control on the iPhone. However, the "previous" function cannot be implemented on Android phones.
The back of the wire is Skullcandy's logo and microphone. Through several phone and WeChat voice tests, the effect of the microphone is close to EarPods, which is ideal.
The classic logo can still be seen at the point of the headset.
XTplyo's plug has an L-shaped design and the plug is also gold plated.
Although the area of ​​the top of the plug is very small, it is still given the 骷髅logo by the designer.
Third, wear feelings
XTplyo's fins feature a bendable design that maximizes the tight integration with the ears.
However, it is also because XTplyo's unique fin design has a slight foreign body sensation when it starts to wear, and it takes time to adapt.
As a headset for positioning sports, wearing solid is its essential quality. The unique design of Skullcandy XTplyo is undoubtedly qualified in this respect. No matter how the head is shaken, the headset is always strong enough to be used in everyday sports environments. Even if it is worn for a long time, it will definitely stand the test.
Fourth, on the sound quality
For a headset priced between 300-400 yuan, there is basically no need for too high demands on the sound quality. Although XTplyo still does not have a stunning sensation in sound quality, the cool appearance design and practical functions of the positioning movement can definitely make it stand out from the crowd in this price range. Through a one-week experience, a brief summary of the sound quality of XTplyo (purely personal, for reference only).
Audition equipment: iPhone 6S Plus
Audition Software: QQ Music (All Effects Off)
Audition music type: pop, rock
Reference earphones: EarPods, ATH-CKS77S
Some of the audition songs: Fantastic Baby, Good Boy, If You, Daylight, Love Like You Loved, enter the play too deep, do not say goodbye, if the sky is not dark, moonlight ...
1. The parameter part is a simple contrast with several headphones that are frequently used at present. The sound quality of a headset is actually quite subjective with the look of good looks. Different people have different standards for sound quality in the same headset, but the parameters of the headset are relatively objective and can serve as a simple reference. Although the price of the three headsets ranges from 200-500, the individual parameters are quite similar.
2, in the actual auditory experience above, perhaps the reason for the new headphones, the feeling of a little chaotic in the performance of the vocal, low-frequency performance is not as strong as imagined. However, after opening the software's effects, this feeling will be significantly improved. The sound is rich in layering, moderate in low frequency, natural and clear in high frequencies, and is more suitable for listening to popular music such as pop and rock. As in-ear headphones, good sound insulation has become another major advantage of XTplyo, which can basically cut off about 70% of the ambient sound of the outside world. If the volume is slightly adjusted, the effect of this sound insulation will be more obvious.
V. Summary
advantage
1, beautiful appearance, XTplyo's unique design and classic 骷髅 logo can definitely make people shine, tide bursting;
2, as the sports headset positioning accuracy, wear comfort, new fins designed to meet the use of sports environment;
3. As a big brand, Skullcandy is very conscientious in the materials and workmanship of the headset itself, which is worthy of praise;
4, from the perspective of sports headphones, XTplyo's sound quality is completely acceptable, and it can definitely meet the hearing requirements of most fungus. If you are planning on starting a sports headset with a budget of around 300, then XTplyo is a good choice.
insufficient:
1, the line control can not adjust the volume;
2. The design and materials of the collar clip are absolutely the fault of XTplyo;
3, unique shape of the silicone sleeve greatly reduces the sound quality of the headphones.
The first assessment is here, and if there is something wrong with the content, I hope to have more exchanges with you. Finally, once again thanked Zhang Aunt for giving me the chance to test this time.
THE END
