【Preface】
Electronic products With the rapid development of science and technology, people's dependence on mobile phones has gradually increased, and mobile phones are generally used as the medium for playing music. People wearing headphones (Bluetooth Headsets, Metal Earphones, Mobile Earphone, Wireless Earbud, Earbuds Earphones, Noise Cancelling Headphones, Stereo Headphones) and listening to music can be seen anywhere on the bus or on the street. For ordinary users, headphones sound as good as they can in their eyes, but for users who are pursuing sound quality, it is necessary to choose a good headset for their mobile phones. For example, I applied for this iron triangle ATH-LS300iS in ear earphones. Now let's talk about this headset and see if it's worth it.
【Unpacking】
The iron triangle ATH-LS300iS headphone's outer packaging has continued the old iron gate's style of ingenuity, and it makes me feel sorry for its price. The entire package uses a simple white paper box, without the flamboyant atmosphere, a picture of a headset printed on the front, simply not artificial.
There is a counterfeit coating on the back of the box. The imitation goods on the market for large brand products such as the iron triangle are still quite numerous. It is always harmless to verify the integrity of the brand. It is worth mentioning that there is a yellow sticker beside the anti-scratch coating. This is the warranty card for the headset. Therefore, after the headset is bought, the box must not be thrown and it should be kept properly.
After opening the package, we will be able to enter the topic and the protagonist will officially appear.
To be honest, the packaging inside the headset is still very creative, the internal is divided into two parts, the top part is the earbuds of the earphones, the position of the earbuds is designed into a butterfly-like shape, highly aesthetic Creative. The lower part of the package is the headset cord, so the overall look does not seem cluttered.
The accessories of ATH-LS300iS earphones have a rigid storage bag and four pairs of grey earmuffs of different sizes. In addition, a large-size manual is also provided. The manual is very detailed and it can meet the needs of different users. , also provided in different language versions, considered very thoughtful.
【Exterior】
ATH-LS300iS earbuds are large, irregular geometric shape with the surface of the silver-gray metal material, it seems quite texture. The gray-and-white iron triangle LOGO logo printed on the ear plug also played a good embellishment function, which will not make people feel boring.
The surface of the earplug has a curved surface that shows a different kind of tension.
The cavity part is semi-transparent material, and the internal structure of the earphone can be seen faintly.
Unplug the earmuffs, you can see the sound tube of the headphones, ATH-LS300iS sound pipe is made of stainless steel and synthetic resin composite materials, made in the headset to improve high-frequency performance has a significant effect.
Because the earphone's cavity is slightly larger, when wearing a flat headphone directly, many people must wear it with certain difficulties, so the ATH-LS300iS uses the ear-hook type. The ear-hook built-in steel wire is designed and placed according to the contour of the ear, and has a good fixing effect. It is comfortable to wear and it is not easy to fall.
The length of the LS300iS earphone cable is 1.2m. It is equipped with a 3.5mm four-core gold-plated L-shaped bent plug. The leather cable is soft and the subjective experience is not bad.
Interestingly, the LS300iS's earphone cord is detachable for easy replacement and storage.
As for the remote part of the headset, using a design similar to a cylinder, the overall shape is sleek, and engraved with the logo of the iron triangle, workmanship is still very good, is too simple, there is only a main control button, there is no volume control keys, this It makes people feel helpless.
The microphone is set on the back of the line control, and the distance between the line control and the earphone is very close. After wearing the headset, the microphone can just be near the mouth, and the radio effect is greatly improved.
【Experience】
Since the earbuds of the LS300iS can be flexibly rotated, I have to struggle for a while to find the correct direction for wearing each time I wear the LS300iS. However, although the earbuds of the LS300iS are relatively large, when worn on the ear, there is no particularly noticeable feeling that large hard objects are inserted into the ear. Instead, it is a very soft feeling and very comfortable.
It has to be said that the soundproof effect of the headphones is really excellent. After wearing it, basically no outside noise can be heard, and the airtightness and physical noise reduction effects are obvious, so the sound quality can be guaranteed.
However, it is a bit bad that when wearing headphones, if you want to plug the headphones tightly, you will feel as if the eardrum is sucked and pulled out, it is very uncomfortable, the earplugs are the same, so when using headphones It's better not to wear too tight.
The LS300iS has an impedance of 15 ohms and a sensitivity of 106dB/mW, which is relatively ideal for a portable audio source-smartphone. In addition, the earphone's frequency response range is 18-18000Hz, which is quite wide.
High-frequency performance: The earliest attention of headphones in high-frequency is two points, one is whether the high frequency is harsh, and the other is whether there is divergence at high frequency. The author chose two popular songs that are commonly used to test the high-frequency sound effects of headphones. They were “The Song of the Homeless” and “Your Saxophone.” After testing, it was found that the high frequency of the LS300iS is not only gentle, stretched, but also dynamic. When it comes to the high frequencies of violins and cymbals, it doesn’t feel harsh, but it gives people a feeling that is close to their ears, and everything appears in real form.
IF performance: "Ferry" and "Amarantine" are the classic tracks of the headset IF test, after experience, found that the LS300iS in the performance of human voice is true and natural, the sound is more stretched, structured, no blunt, rude feeling.
Low-frequency performance: The LS300iS is relatively heavy in low-frequency performance. When listening to the drum drum poem, which is based on Chinese traditional drum sounds, although the drums in the entire track are mostly short and powerful, the LS300iS does not have sound divergence or It is a muddling problem, but it is very flexible. It's quick to go, it's full and solid, and there are no aftershocks. There is a kind of momentum that gets into the bottom of the heart.
In terms of the overall sense of hearing, the low frequency of the LS300iS is relatively heavy, and the ambience of the LS300iS is quite satisfying. Its high frequency is not arrogant, but it expresses music in very calm details. As for the midrange vocal part, it is controlled by a very good sound, and the sound is stable and has a thickness. The overall performance is quite satisfactory.
In addition to its outstanding performance in music, the LS300iS also provides users with a good experience in voice chat. The microphone has a clear sound and works well with the headphones to ensure excellent call conditions.
【to sum up】
In general, the Audio-Technica ATH-LS300iS headphones are still very good. The creative, irregular geometric appearance reveals a sense of fashion, and the lug-like design ensures a comfortable wearing feel that is ideal for use on mobile devices. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is for friends who are pursuing sound quality. This tri-band equalization headset is worth starting. The only thing that makes people queasy is that its packaging and wire control is really simple...
