With the development of The Times, headphones have become an indispensable electronic product in daily life. (Headband Headphones, Stereo Headphones, Gaming Headsets, Computer Headphones, In Ear Earphones, Mobile Earphone, Headphones Earbuds).
Whether it is earplugs for outdoor use or headsets for indoor use, the overall demand has been increasing. Even many mobile phones Manufacturers have seen this business opportunity (such as Meizu, Xiaomi), after entering the headset field, they have launched their own flagship headphones.
Some people say that headphones are a metaphysical. The so-called descriptions of the interpretation, sound field, resolution, and imagery are just a means for the earphone manufacturers to confuse consumers. The earphones have to rely on their own ears to identify them. I think this is true, but it is also one-sided. Although the sense of hearing is subjective, mature technology and powerful hardware are the guarantee of good sound quality. For example, you will feel Is HD800 playing metaphysics?
And in the field of high-end headphones, many users will pay attention to a ubiquitous phenomenon. Most of the expensive fever headphones are open, such as HD800, HD600, K812, LCD-3, PS1000. So why are these good headphones? All adopt open design? First of all, it is certain that there is absolutely no metaphysics in it. Xiaobian also consulted with the senior enthusiast Qi Qi children's shoes around him. It feels quite interesting. I believe that many headphones users have their own questions about this problem. Insights, let us talk about the things about open and closed headphones today.
First of all, let's take a look at what is an open earphone. Open type means that the back of the sounding unit of the earphone communicates with the outside world. There are many small holes in the outer casing of the earphone or you can directly see the sounding unit inside. The user can hear it when using it. The sound of the outside world, and the people around you can also hear the sound from the headphones (commonly known as the leak phenomenon), which makes the open headphones not suitable for street use. However, the open headphones have a large sound field and a more natural sound. Tri-band is more balanced. As we said above, HD800, K812, etc. are all open-type headphones, and these headphones are basically HiFi headphones for home use.
When it comes to open-type headphones, you have to say that closed-type headphones, as the name suggests, closed-type headphones means that the inner and outer sides of the sounding unit are not connected to the outside world, the sounding unit is in a completely closed cavity, which can reduce the outside when used. Noise, and earphones are often used with leather and some soundproof materials. For example, Denon D7100, FOSTEX TH900, Extreme ED5, Iron Triangle W3000ANV are very classic closed headphones. Good sound insulation also makes closed headphones more suitable. Out of the street. However, compared with the open-type headphones, the high-frequency of the closed-type headphones will be a bit boring, it is difficult to reach the level of open headphones in terms of resolution.
I don't know if you noticed that closed headphones are often used for monitoring and recording studios. They are often used for monitoring and recording studios. For musicians, you need to have very clear and clean sounds while avoiding interference from the outside world. These are the features of the enclosed headphones. Although its sound field is not as wide and natural as the open headphones, its sound surround is strong, which can bring better immersion. In addition, the low frequency of the closed headphones is more open than the open type. Headphones are more sturdy and flexible, which is very suitable for listening to pop music. But in the eyes of enthusiasts, the performance of the high-frequency and high-frequency performance is more representative of the strength of the headphones, so in the circle of enthusiasts, open-type headphones are still their main topic of discussion.
It is estimated that there are definitely netizens who want to start rebutting. "Who said that closed-end headphones have no open headphones at high frequencies? You can use the FOSTEX TH900, the Denon D7100 and the Iron Triangle W3000ANV to mention the high-frequency headphones. Okay!". Ok, I will emphasize the urinating. I said that the high-frequency boring of the closed headphones is not absolute, but it is the common problem of most closed headphones. First of all, it is difficult to make sound in the structural design. Natural, balanced and transparent, even a few thousand yuan of closed headphones in the high-frequency clarity and details, not as good as more than a thousand open headphones.
As a senior enthusiast, Yu Mengqi's children's shoes around Xiaobian can be described as rich and powerful. The home uses HD800, HD600, PS1000, HE-6 and other flagship HiFi headphones. Interestingly, why is he using open headphones? The answer to Qi’s children’s shoes is that these headphones are very comfortable to listen to, the sound is more natural, the sound field is large, and the flagship headphones that have been in contact with the vast majority are open-ended. When Xiaobian asks him what kind of closed headphones he has, He thought about it and only said the FOSTEX TH900 and the Extreme ED series, and once again stressed that the sound of the closed headphones is generally boring, and occasionally used when going out of the street. It seems that this senior enthusiast is closed. Headphones are not too cold.
As the saying goes, as long as it is a technical problem, it is not a problem, but for closed headphones, its sound is difficult to be as natural and transparent as open headphones. Even the top closed headphones mentioned above. There are also some gaps in the sound quality of open headphones with the same level. Therefore, to make a good closed earphone, the difficulty is many times higher than that of the open earphone, and the research and development cost is naturally very high. This is also why The reason why the top-end closed-end headphones that are recognized as good, the brand and the output are few.
In addition, from the product design and use environment, most closed-type headphones have been positioned to go out of the street, because it has much better sound insulation than open-type headphones, the shell can be made more stylish, more suitable for outdoor, books In the environment of the museum, subway, etc., it will not be noisy to others and will not be arguing by others, but the compromise of sound quality is unavoidable. Why are so many closed headphones on the market proclaiming how low the low frequency is? Heavy), how to listen to pop music (bang), how stylish the fashion (fashion). In fact, for those who do not pursue sound quality, it seems enough to meet these needs.
But the open-ended headphones are obviously different. I can't remember which high-end open-type headphones look like a whistle. I haven't heard how low-frequency it is, and the use is limited to the home, but the fans prefer open-ended. Headphones, because they are most concerned about the sound quality. With the words of senior enthusiasts in Mengqi children's shoes, "as long as the sound can make me touch, what fashion is not important" is enough to see its consistent pursuit of sound quality. From a purely listening perspective, wearing a good open earphone in a quiet environment is the essence of music.
to sum up:
In fact, the topic of open and closed headphones has never stopped. Xiaobian thinks that this problem does not need to be too tangled. If it is used when going out, choose closed headphones; if you are using music at home, Choose open headphones. The former focuses on fashion, low frequency and sound insulation; the latter pays full attention to the quality of sound. Therefore, based on these reasons, it is not difficult to understand why most of the top headphones are open design. .
