meet the needs of your three iPhone listening to songs at one time: Feiao i1 Earring | Welfare School

as a music lover, I spend a lot of time listening to songs on iPhone every day. However, because the earphone I use does not have wire control and microphone, every time I listen to a song, I have to unplug the earphone first and then take out the phone to answer it, which is very troublesome. Not only that, since the iPhone 7 canceled the 3.5mm connector, the patch cord that Ligtning to 3.5mm has become a "tail" that can never be thrown off behind my headphones 」.

facing these problems, although Bluetooth headsets are a good solution, most of the Bluetooth headsets with good sound quality on the market are expensive. Without changing headphones, I found Feiao i1, a product that integrates Lightning to 3.5mm adapter, earphone wire control and earphone amplifier.

is an adapter and earphone wire control.

Feiao i1 is an earpiece, its appearance is completely different from those big and thick "big brick" earpieces in the traditional impression. At first glance, it is very similar to the "wire control" of the previous function machine era. Friends who used to play MD and CD Walkman should feel a little friendly.

, I can find that it is actually smaller than those CD wire controls. There is no fastener and joint in the whole wire control part, and a lot of efforts should be made in the manufacturing process. The frosted texture makes the grip feel comfortable.

function button, the wire control operation is basically the same as that of the original iPhone headset before, with volume increase/decrease and answer keys, and the interval is quite large, so if you are used to the wire control of the original headset, it should be very easy to use. Considering the need to wear it fixedly, the package also comes with a clip that can be fixed to the clothes, which happens to use earplugs or earrings. The clip can effectively reduce the pulling feeling of the ear canal after wearing.

package shows that Feiao i1 has obtained Apple MFI certification, and good compatibility can ensure subsequent stable upgrade and normal use. From the lowest iPhone 5 to the latest iPhone 8/8 Plus, as long as it is supported by devices with Lightning interface, I happen to have an iPhone SE in my hand, so plug and play without driving and redundant setting steps.

considering that it is a "Lightning adapter" after all, the compatibility of headphones is very important. The earphones in my hand include three segments of B & O ear3i and two standard segments of Weston W50. I have not encountered any situation where one channel does not sound when inserted.

, however, the only thing that makes me feel the same is that most earphones on the market are designed with long lines. After the earphone line is connected to Feiao i1, the original earphone line needs to be folded and tied up for too long. It seems a little unsightly to take it out of the street. However, if you have a moving iron earphone with an MMCX plug in your hand, you should use Feiao's new short.

mini earphone amplifier, hearing feeling is very different.

another more important function of Feiao i1 is the earphone amplifier. For many people, the earphone can be listened to by connecting the earphone to the mobile phone. What role will the earphone amplifier play?

For many music lovers, the headphone amplifier is a very important link in the entire audio playback system, and it will have a great impact on those who finally hear music. In fact, even in the small system of mobile phone audio playback, there is also the shadow of the headphone amplifier, but its circuit design and effect are really incomparable with the independent headphone amplifier.

Headphone amplifier, as its name implies, is a device that works on headphones. It is essentially an audio amplifier used to drive headphones. Its purpose is to enable headphones to be better driven, and to improve the listening sense of audio playback in the final headphones. Feiao i1 plays an independent role in this "iPhone music playback system.

first need to talk about how iPhone handles digital music:

of the above steps, the most influential parts of sound quality are in the "digital-to-analog conversion" and "level output" sections. In short, when the song is decoded into a digital signal, the sound output from the 3.5mm interface will lose a lot of details and the sound quality will naturally be damaged due to the design of the iPhone itself in the process of converting it into an analog signal.

Now, through the Lightning interface, this conversion and audio amplification process will be handled by the independent Feiao i1. The advantage is that the output sound can retain more details without being subject to the audio circuit integrated by the iPhone itself, and naturally the sound you hear will be better.

improvement, because there is no very professional testing tool in your hand, you can only see some technical details from some third-party evaluations. Most instrument tests show that the maximum output power of this Lightning earphone is not high. In other words, the connection and improvement of the high impedance large earphone on your hand may not be obvious. Obviously, Feiao Lightning earphone amplifier mainly makes some small improvements in the listening sense of portable earphones/earphones, not to push high-resistance headphones that need more power to push.

When using Feiao i1, it does not require much operation to insert the ear into the iPhone. The system will automatically change the audio to output from the Lightning by default, and Feiao i1 will directly take electricity from the Lightning port. According to Feiao officials, when using Feiao i1 on the iPhone 7, the battery life is about 23 hours. In addition, Feiao i1 can enter the standby low power mode with the device to extend the battery life.

, of course, I still need to speak with subjective listening. In order to be relatively rigorous, I still used Weston W50 as a test earphone to listen to three pieces of music with different styles, which were used to compare the sound output by the Lightning earphone and directly use the 3.5mm earphone interface to output the sound.

three songs are:

  • Artist: Wenque Band Album: "Big Goose" Song: "Can't Go Back"

  • Artist: Oda Kazuo Album: "Yourself" Song: "Suddenly"

  • Artist: Chen Qizhen Album: "Gorgeous Adventure" Song: "Gorgeous Adventure"

Subjective Listening

is completely different from that of the iPhone SE's earphone mouth. The sound from the iPhone SE's 3.5mm earphone mouth is relatively thin, and the typical "plain boiled water" sound is balanced with three frequencies. However, the sound produced by the Lightning ear is very rich. It can be seen that after amplification, the sound bottom is thicker, the sound field becomes wider, and the details and positioning are richer than those of the 3.5mm interface.

to different earphones, I chose Sony EX85 SL in-ear earplug and AKG K314P as comparison, because the sound bottom of the two earphones themselves is completely different, and the EX85SL low frequency is thick. The K314P sound bottom is clean, but the overall thin. However, the sound performance under the lightning of Feiao is also very different: on EX85SL, the music performance is more emotional and the sense of atmosphere is enhanced, especially in the more lyrical sound scenes. At the same time, the originally dim high-pitched part has improved significantly and become more gorgeous, but the low-pitched part is somewhat overweight. In K314P, the sound is well controlled, making up for the fact that part of K314P, the problem of insufficient low frequency, the increase of sound density makes the listening feel fuller and full of tension.

However, for those high-end earplugs that are easier to promote themselves, the improvement of using Feiao Lightning earplugs is not so obvious. The amplified sound may enhance the low-frequency and high-frequency parts, and the listening feeling can be improved on the low-end earphones. However, on the higher-end earphones/earplugs, the timbre will be too strong, and the gorgeous treble part covers a part of the middle sound part, instead, it reduces the layering of the sound.

put it on specific music, Feiao Lightning earphones are more suitable for music types with more orchestration (symphony, classical music) from the subjective sense of listening, and can hear a richer sense of hierarchy and space than the iPhone earphone mouth; In folk songs and light music with fewer orchestration, they are more emotional. If the earphone you are using is not a so-called high-end earphone, this small earphone can definitely make you "light up in front of your ear 」.

summary

advantages:

  • a product meets three usage scenarios: Lightning patch cord/earphone wire control, iPhone audio decoder, and small earphone amplifier

  • do not need to charge, directly take electricity from the Lightning port.

  • is easy to carry

Disadvantages:

  • audio is limited to 48 Khz, and high definition audio files with high sampling rate are not supported.

if you just want to continue to use the 3.5mm earphone to listen to songs and answer and make phone calls on the new iPhone, then feiao Lightning earphone should be very suitable for you. for the iPhone listening party, this small accessory can effectively improve your earphone listening feeling on the iPhone and is worth trying.
