Evaluation of High Color Value & High Quality Feiao F3 in-ear Earplugs
1Feiao F3 in-ear earplug evaluation
[Original of Zhongguancun Online Audio Channel]approached the end of the year, I thought all the big moves of various brands had been finished. I didn't expect Feiao to bring two new products to enthusiasts in the last month of this year, namely Feiao X5 3rd generation and EX1 2nd generation. And your ownplayer, Feiaoheadphonesproducts are very low-key and are not at the same level of attention. However, good products are often not easy to find, which we have evaluated before.Feiao F1confirms this point very well. Its value exceeds the price and it is an undervalued product.
High Color Value & High Quality FeiaoF3in-ear earplugs
, as an audio brand that has successfully entered the middle and high-end market, Feiao's strategy on headphones is just the opposite. It mainly launches entry-level products, which is actually rare. And the official introduction of the product is also quite conservative. You will never see the exaggerated publicity of "super-second flat" like some domestic brands. This may be one of the reasons why Feiao's product sales have always been in a leading position.
today, we are introducing another headset product F3. Previously, the amazing performance of Feiao F1 was indeed impressive, and the overall completion was quite high, which also gave the author a new understanding of the 100-yuan headset.Feiao F3is 138 yuan, which is only 40 yuan more expensive than F1, which shows that it is also an entry-level product. So what kind of surprise this small price difference can bring to users has become the focus of this experience. The following author will introduce this product from the aspects of appearance, function and sound quality.

The shape of F3 shell changes obviously, its hand feel is relatively round, and its volume is slightly larger, but its weight changes little, and it is lightweight.

Feiao F3
F3 is almost the same as F1. The main color is black with red stripes and the material is PU. It has soft, durable and anti-pulling characteristics, and is not easy to discount and absorb dust when used. The earphone line on the right is equipped with a small three-button wire control, and the operation function is compatible with mainstream mobile devices such as Android/IOS. When connecting with the device, the user can play/pause music, switch tracks, adjust the volume and answer incoming calls through the earphone wire control, and the wire control key design is also very small and convenient to operate.

colorful earphone housing
worth mentioning that,Feiao F3has added personalized design elements. Users can choose to use one or two of the three colors of red, blue and black, and can replace them at will. This colorful design method kills F1 in terms of color value. In addition, using different color ear shells on both sides of the earphone can also highlight the characteristics of the left and right sides, effectively helping users to distinguish the wearing direction of the earphone.

attachment part also comes with a pair of silicone ear hangers, which also shows that the correct wearing posture of F3 is around the ear instead of the common straight plug type. Using the way around the ear can make the earphone more stable in the wearing process, effectively avoid falling. Other accessories of F3 include three pairs of silicone sleeves and an earphone storage bag, which is consistent with F1.

audition equipment
in this audition, we still used mobile phones and numbers.playerTwo different front-end devices. Considering the usage preference of domestic users, we chose iPhone 5s as the representative of mobile phone. In terms of sound, 5s is a relatively balanced type, and the sound quality has reached the average level in mobile phones without any problem.

HiFi-Skyn phone case
in order to fully exploreheadphones's potential enables headphones to achieve the best sound performance. We have also added a HiFi-Skyn phone case to the iPhone 5s to form a better front-end system. An independent decoding module is integrated in this shell. With Anqiao HF PLAYER APP, PCM and DSD format audio files with high resolution audio level can be played, and the output power of the mobile phone can be greatly improved.
Feiao F1
Sennheiser IE80
as FeiaoF3's reference to headphones, I believe there is no more suitable than F1. The most important part of this experience is whether F3's sound performance can be improved again and become the strongest entry earplug beyond F1, which is extremely cost-effective. The benchmark headset we chose this time is the classic Sennheiser's IE80, which can enrich the music adaptability of 80 with Sony's sponge cover.

4Subjective Listening
Subjective Listening
before the audition, we adjusted the gain of the HiFi-Skyn to the mid-range,F3and IE80 both use the ear winding method, F1 is worn in a straight plug type, and try to cover all types of music in the song selection. The low frequency control knob of IE80 is turned to the middle so thatheadphones's voice reached a relatively balanced level.
audition song: Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence
chose to audition was "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" in the digital album "The Best of 'Playing the Orchestra 2014 '2nd". This live version of the symphony has a relatively soothing rhythm and distinct sound levels. In the part where the piano drives other instruments to the climax and the final stage of the ensemble, it is not very easy for the headset to perform well. Among these three products, IE80 is the most prominent one. Its loud field can obtain a very excellent sense of space, and its instrument positioning and dynamic performance are satisfactory. The sound performance of F3 can be ranked second, and its resolution is the best among the three products, which also makes up for the defects of F1. It sounds very clean, and the sound field is also greatly improved compared with F1. Compared with the other two headphones, F1 has a lot of sound, and symphony is not the type it is good.
the second song, the GARNiDELiA "Jilao Jingtu" chosen by the author. This song has a strong sense of rhythm, from the beginning to the end are accompanied by a low frequency with impact. Among the three earphones, F1 has the best listening feeling. In the first song, the human voice has always been very prominent, and the low frequency dive of the background music is very deep, and the transient and rebound are not delayed. F3 has the clearest sound and more details, and the human voice is slightly backward, which is a more balanced sense of hearing. The overall quality of IE80 is still the highest. The low frequency performs best in the three earphones. Due to the reason of the song cover, the human voice is not dark, but the low frequency sounds too exciting to cover up the sound of other frequency bands, so it is not very balanced.
audition song: It's My Life
third song is "It's My Life" from the album Crush by veteran American rock band Bon Jovi. The characteristic of this song is that the vocals are very passionate, and the background music is mixed with many metal instruments. Among the three headphones, F3 has the best listening feeling, which completely highlights the singer's high-pitched and passionate voice. When listening to songs with IE80, the sound is a bit stuffy, but the details of the sound are the most. F1 has a relatively small sound field and a forward voice, which is not as powerful as the other two headphones.
is written at the end:
throughFeiao F3a detailed experience, the author thinks that the sound quality of this earphone is very high in the products of the same price, and it is reasonable to have some gap with the earphone of 1000 yuan level. When it comes to the specific sound performance of F3, it improves F1's weaknesses in terms of acoustic resolution and sound field. It is a plug with a balanced sound. But because of this, F3 has also lost F1's listening advantage, and the sound characteristics are not prominent, but it has better adaptability to song types. Of course, Feiao F3 is still a very recommended product for about 100 yuan. For friends who listen to songs at ordinary times, this product will be a very good choice.
