Edit：adminTime：2018-12-17Browse： 1207【SmallBig】
Japanese media released a recent ranking of headphones sold in large e-earphone chain stores. From this ranking, we can see that the super king in this field is still unshakable. Do you know who this king is? Slowly pull to the end...
The sales list TOP10 is as follows:
Tenth place: Camfire Audio
In the past two years, American brands, which have been particularly active, have often appeared in front of you in various forms, not only in China, but also in Japan. Of course, this is based on the success of product design.
CASCADE has a very thick low frequency, robust intermediate frequency, gorgeous high frequency and real restoration of live music, which are its unforgettable features. As the first headset of the brand, it can be crowded into the top 10 of the Japanese market sales list is also an extraordinarily amazing achievement!
Ninth place: SteelSeries Arctis 5
SteelSeries is a Danish company founded in 2001. It is headquartered in Chicago, USA. It is a global leader in professional game peripheral industry. Its product categories include headphones, mouse pads, mice and keyboards.
Arctis Ice Series is a new series of game headphones launched by Sai Rui in 16 years. Compared with traditional game headphones, the appearance of Arctis Ice Series is more complex and high-profile. Arctis 5 is semi-wrapped headband design, ski mirror type hanging headband design can reduce the discomfort of wearing for a long time, the headbeam with multiple color matching and pattern can be replaced, the earmuff part is made of AirWeave material, and the additional material of imitation protein skin and velvet can be selected. Arctis 5 has a 16.8 million color RGB backlight outlined on the outside of the headset, which can be synchronized with other products that support Prism RGB through software.
Arctis 5 uses a CLearCast microphone with noise reduction function. This microphone reduces the interference of external noise to communication by limiting the pickup area to 2-8 inches (5-20 centimeters) before and after the microphone. DTS Headphone: X Analog 7.1 Surround Sound is supported. This technology optimizes and improves the implementation of multi-channel and stereo playback. PC, Mac and game console (PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) can be connected by expanding accessories. Arctis 5 uses the same sound generating unit as Siberia 800/840. In terms of parameters, the frequency response range is 20-20000Hz, the impedance is 32_, the sensitivity is 98 dB, and the weight is 298g.
Eighth place: Kingston Kingston Hyper XCloud Revolver
It's a headset that emphasizes comfort in design. It's very suitable for those who play games for a long time. The sound quality of the microphone is also quite clear. With the USB audio control box, you can change the volume of the headphone, the volume of the microphone, and turn on/off the mute! It also supports virtual 7.1 channels, so you can enjoy the unique scenery of various games! Japan's editor said: "strongly recommended to FPS users!"
Seventh: Baya T12
Crystallization of Tesla Technology
When you listen to high-resolution female voices, R&B and other music types, you can hear very clearly every tiny sound, as well as very vivid melody. The unique high-frequency extension and minimal distortion of Tesla drivers are deeply shocking. Although the volume of voice information is very large, but it can maintain a good balance, long-term listening is also its characteristics.
It's not famous in China. It is reported that it was born in a music studio in Japan, but it is sought after by Japanese enthusiasts because of its strong performance and unique appearance.
Japanese media say it has a professional voice.
Music producer Kunio Taku hopes to achieve some kind of "reliable" and very natural sound through flat-panel headphones, so that the headphones can really be used for work. The performance of T3-01 on the instrument is wonderful. It sounds like listening on the loudspeaker. Even the bass is natural. You can feel the subtle difference of sound by changing the earmuffs of different trees! uuuuuuuuuuu Of course, the convenience of changing headbands and earpads is also the unique feature of professional equipment!
It's too expensive. There are few channels to see it (also not tested). Japanese media highly praised its performance of BASS, calling it "unparalleled power", and the experience of open design is very good. The sense of scale and space is satisfactory.
Fourth place: Sony MDR-1AM2
The VGP 2019 Gold Award model was awarded in November this year. It shows Sony's in-depth exploration of the high-resolution capabilities of thousand-dollar headphones. However, it may take longer to cook the machine, the voice sounds lack of emotion, the overall quality of the tone is biased, the energy of the three frequencies is good, especially the high frequency, the intermediate frequency is relatively thin, the voice is not warm enough, it is a pity. With ZX300A, listen with 4.4 balance mouth, fullness is good, is the most worthwhile ZX300A headset for Sony at this stage.
Japanese media are very satisfied with its ultra-light weight. It has the strength that is rare in earphones and can be worn almost all day. It can also be seen that Sony's research on ergonomics is adequate. Correspondingly, the iron triangle MSR7b is still lagging behind Sony MDR-1AM2 in weight control, even though it is actively "slimming" and losing weight. In addition, the Japanese media also gave a high evaluation of the performance of 1AM2 in classical and jazz. Indeed, the high-definition 1AM2, after being fully driven, can also show a good sense of hierarchy and deterrent momentum of large-scale production.
The model is also sold in China, but it seems to be purchased on behalf of others.
HD660S as a comprehensive upgrade of HD650 (non-replacement), the styling design remains unchanged, some minor details are adjusted, the use of a new moving coil unit, stainless steel fiber diaphragm increase sensor, resistance reduction, with superconductive OFC copper material, audio performance is even better.
In terms of appearance, HD660 S continues the classic HD600 series, similar to HD650, it adopts open design and has super large oval cavity. The main changes are some minor details of appearance, such as the raised "Senhai" logo nameplate added to the screen cover, the brand logo printed on the head beam to the side, and the overall recognition is more obvious. HD660S adopts a new development of moving coil unit and stainless steel fiber diaphragm. It also adds sensors. The diaphragm control is better and can bring reference audio enjoyment. In other respects, HD660 S also supports the replacement of earmuffs and rapid dismantling of wires, with gilded 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapters to facilitate user portable equipment. In addition, an additional 4.4mm balance interface wire is provided.
Sennheiser HD820, No. 1 in the headphone market, 2018
Did you find that the Japanese are also very "foreign-oriented" in the field of headphones, the local Sony did not take too much advantage. The top three are dominated by products from Britain and Germany. In China, Beats and Sony often dominate our double 11 and double 12 sales thrones. The reason is also worth pondering...
