Innovative AIR and A8 unit real-time comparison

Before talking about Aurvana Air (innovative AIR), I have to talk about the A8 unit first. Don't think that it is a problem, but it is very necessary. Because the current argument of the innovative AIR is compared with the A8, and some even say that it is the A8 unit. B&O A8 I have heard this game many years ago. I listened to it for more than a year, and then I lost it with MD90. But A8 has a lot of listening things like: sound field, dynamics have deeply affected me, because I have never heard that earplugs can also be a little passion in front of complex orchestration, for the sound of A8, I have already Very familiar. The style of the A8 is known. First of all, the wide sound field is "quite" wide, not "very" wide, dynamic and horizontal. For the symphony with a lot of strings, vocals and sounds, these are all A8's. Features. As for the relationship between SHARP HP-MD90 and B&O A8, I have said many times that some old burning also mentioned a lot. Although the style is different, but retains the A8 dynamics and the strengths of the sound field, especially in the sense of large compilation, the performance of the MD90 or the sense of hearing is better than the A8. The A8 sound field is large and wide, so its mid-frequency part feels a bit "empty"; the sound field of the MD90 is "round" than the A8, because the intermediate frequency is "quite" good. Let me put it this way, in the open earbuds I have heard, only the MD90 can be compared with the sound field of the A8, which is also one of the notable signs of the A8 unit.

Creative Aurvana Air (Innovative AIR) I heard it earlier than many of my friends. At that time, my friend had boxed parallel imports, and the number was small. He spent a lot of gods, and then he finally took it out. Of course, the brand's earplugs are colder. When I listened to it, I felt that the sound field was normal and the low frequency texture was good. The tri-band is generally more balanced, and the analysis can be done. It feels good to listen to the small compilation. Of course, even after listening to it. However, some people later said that "beyond the A8", and then when the bulk of the bulk is popular, there is a "stabbing the CM700 to kill the A8" argument, and now there are AIR and A8 is the same unit. In the forum about discussing AIR, I remember that I was the first to mention that AIR sound field is not as good as A8. I also mentioned dynamic performance, but I admit that these are based on the contrast in the impression, but there is no physical comparison. , but not the kind of pure YY that I have never heard of!

I want to take a look at the unit to see if it is A8 unit, but I see AIR's fragile waist, I still can't. Because it is not my thing, I hope you will forgive me.

Although the MD90 and A8 styles are not the same, the most powerful things in the A8 are the MD90. And our innovative AIR has to "beyond" A8, and some people call it "overall", so let's defeat some of the salient features of A8. The official start below! Both are portable earplugs, I will use the basic XK to listen to, because the thrust is OK. In order to verify how AIR "overtakes" the A8, I used a lot of tracks to test the equipment.

1. "Node Wresting" l--BIG BAND in JG Thirlwel "The Venture Bros. The Music of JG Thirlwell", hence the name, the big orchestra, the test equipment.

2, E Nomine's "DEINE WELT", Delain "Stay Forever" - Gothic symphonic metal, dynamic, more than 90% of open earplugs were eliminated.

3, the old version of the NEW AGE audition track ENIGMA "SADNESS" - not much to say, for people who often test the sound, listen a lot.

4. "WILD ROSE" and "Remembering Home" in "Month of Peace"--a collection of Chinese and foreign artists and a variety of national musical instruments.

5, Bran Poetry (噢destiny goddess of fate)--the repertoire of many occasions, the legendary German armored units stimulated the repertoire of the repertoire, the atmosphere is awkward.

6, Jiang Zhimin "for your love hurts for you", Ke Yimin "too stupid", Qi Qin "let me let you collapse."

Listed the audition tracks, the order of my audition is in order of the above six, PK's debut order is: AIR, MD90, I believe it has been said enough!

In 1, the first is on AIR. Listening to the sound field of A8, MD90, the width of AIR is definitely less than MD90, and it is more obvious. Positioning, instrument separation, AIR is less, the analysis is basically a grade; in 2, the track on AIR is "gentle" type, warm and swallow, not without passion, but not enough passion. Especially in the climax of "DEINE WELT", AIR is dying. The MD90 debut, the climax of the two tracks, can be shocking. In "DEINE WELT", you seem to be incarnate in the characters in the song, high above. AIR in the "Stay Forever" in the rapid low frequency, because the low frequency is larger, the retraction is not as good as the MD90, which is a bit of poor control; in 3, the difference between AIR and MD90 is not too much, but the MD90 is in the track. The sound and sound part is obviously full of momentum and the atmosphere is strong; in 4, AIR's positioning is inferior to MD90, but the overall aspect is better than MD90. Mainly AIR is more delicate for the sound capture of various instruments, the tone is softer, and the MD90 looks rougher. Especially the pipa and the flute part, not as smart as AIR; in 5, not much to say, MD90 is almost an ear and put down AIR. If the Germans want to rely on the voice of AIR to fight, wait for the defeat! Mainly the AIR difference in momentum, especially the vocal harmony part, AIR and MD90 ratio, even seems to be somewhat "朦胧"; As for the 6th, I specifically did not choose Cai Qin, Ke Yimin's voice is thick and warm, but also With a certain vocal skill. AIR is better than MD90 due to high frequency extension, so the penetration of the climax part is better than the MD90, the intermediate frequency part. Jiang Zhimin's voice MD90 is more solid, of course, this is the strength of MD90 IF. The AIR male voice is actually not too bad, but the MD90's midrange is really one of the two in the open earplugs. Listening to female voices or AIR is better than MD90, this is definitely true. In Qi Qin's "Let Me Let You Crash", AIR has a smaller sound field and a lower sense of positioning than MD90, so there is a discount on the momentum, and Qi Qin's clear voice, AIR is definitely better than MD90.

PK summary:

Appearance wearing articles:

Appearance: The metal mesh of the earplugs and the cell caliber seem to be similar. As can be seen in the picture, it seems difficult to distinguish.

Wearing: AIR is light and comfortable, MD90 is worse.

Solidity: Look at the picture, MD90 has at least 3 to 4 AIR weights, because it is a block of "black iron." The AIR cavity I feel is a plated metallic paint, not a metal. AIR's rod and MD90 ratio is the gap between the hemp and the elephant leg.

Hearing:

High frequency: AIR is stronger than MD90. Explanation: The high frequency extension of MD90 is generally not as good as AIR. The key A8 is not present, I feel like the A8.

IF: AIR is inferior to MD90. Explanation: MD90 sometimes I think I have to cut some.

Low frequency: AIR is stronger than MD90. Interpretation: I don't need A8 at all. AIR is better than A8 in terms of quantity, quality and elasticity, but AIR's low-frequency speed is inferior to MD90. From the perspective of popular tracks such as R&B, AIR's low frequency is better than MD90, which is better than A8.

Sound field: AIR is inferior to MD90. Explanation: The AIR sound field is already ok with most plugs, and it is somewhat "circle", which is relative to most plugs; the "circle" of the MD90 sound field is relative to the A8, which is on the A8 transverse sound field. "round".

Analysis: AIR does not fall in the face of MD90, only strong or weak.

Positioning: AIR is inferior to MD90. Some instruments of AIR are not very strong, and the separation is not very good.

Tone: AIR is colder than MD90. The MD90 is a "warm" sound, and AIR is only relatively speaking. Not "ice and snow" type!

Overall listening: The two levels of sound transparency are basically equivalent. When AIR is performing dynamic and strong repertoire, it is not as good as MD90 regardless of sound field, momentum and bursting. Because MD90 is the same as A8, AIR will not be stronger than A8, and the sound field and dynamic feeling gap are more obvious. But AIR has its own advantages: the sound is more delicate, not unassuming, is a lady with a connotation or a gentleman. Whether it is a female or a small instrument, it will be better than the MD90 and A8, and the male voice is definitely better than the A8. Not to mention the dynamic quality, AIR is like finding a balance between MD90 and A8, which is the intersection of the two. Seriously, if you don't have a lot of dynamic tracks, AIR will sound better than A8 and MD90. In short, the innovative AIR is a work of “Emotional Minor”, ​​close to life, and please the ears of many people. An open earplug with a good mid-range and good extension at both ends is not too much. If the price is on, if you sell RMB1700 or so, you can ignore it. If it is around 600, it is worth starting. As for "beyond A8" or "completely beyond", let's laugh!
