Feiao EM5 Evaluation: It is a flat-headed Renaissance, and it is also a small fortune in the hands of a minority.

don't want to admit it, the flat-head headphones are indeed on the decline.

is because the sound insulation of flat-head headphones is not as good as the in-ear type, and on the other hand, the sound quality and wearing cannot be comparable to the in-ear type. Flat-head headphones are like the paraxial camera after the advent of SLR cameras, and gradually become the trend of the times. Choice outside. People who like it will still like flat headphones, while people who don't like it so much embrace the new era of in-ear headphones.

, just as the same dish may have different evaluations under different tastes, flat-head headphones also have different evaluations in different user groups, and the biggest reason for determining the evaluation is often wearing. Some people may think that flat-head headphones are the highest masterpiece of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, while others will think that flat-head headphones are extremely comfortable to wear, and the latter is one of the few flat-head fans in this in-ear era.

Old Flat Head, New Play

said so much above is actually helping me wash the floor. After all, the in-ear earpiece pain and swelling of the ear canal brought to me are very obvious. It is difficult for me to accept continuous use of in-ear headphones for more than two hours. However, many people think that the flat-head headphones that will burst their ears can remain comfortable for me after wearing them all day.

, there are not many users like me. Although there are still many entry-level flat-head headphones flooding the entry market, if you have a relatively high demand, the sound quality of entry-level flat-head headphones is obviously difficult to meet the demand. For those users who like to wear flat-head headphones but also need sound quality, the emergence of high-end flat-head headphones is already "justice.

then for an absolute minority like me, the existence of Feiao EM5 is worthy of recognition.

, let's talk about the design first. Although the iron triangle next door chose to use titanium alloy to build the flagship flat-head earphone, Feiao EM5 is still a plastic cavity earphone in essence. Of course, this does not mean that Feiao EM5 itself is not brilliant in design. In fact, this cavity created by the fourth generation DLP 3D printing molding technology has a very clear acoustic pursuit.

, it is precisely because of the existence of 3D printing technology that Feiao EM5 can adopt a unique low-frequency acoustic flute tube design in the cavity design. This complex internal design makes it difficult for traditional cavity production technology to achieve. Such a complex design can extend the low-frequency dive as much as possible, thus making up for the old problem of low-frequency shortage of flat-head headphones.

Another advantage of 3D printing cavity is that it is more integrated in workmanship. In the past, in order to obtain cavities with similar structural complexity, it was often necessary to assemble through multiple different parts, or it would inevitably leave an ugly mold clamping line. The integrated seamless design under 3D printing can bring better experience both in beauty and touch, and the black translucent effect of EU IIA medical resin is also very beautiful.

just like other headphones with moving coil units in Feiao this year, Feiao EM5 also uses beryllium-plated diaphragm units. The flat head design fully ensures the diameter of the unit. This 14.2mm large diameter beryllium plated composite diaphragm unit can not only maintain the sense of quantity and texture of low frequency itself, but also bring better medium and high frequency performance in theory.

in this era of full replaceable wires, Feiao EM5 does not use the design of replaceable wires, but this does not mean that you can only use this high-end flat head on the 3.5mm single-ended interface. In addition to the use of high-purity pure silver wire, the plug also adopts a rotary-lock replaceable plug design, which can meet the needs of different interfaces by replacing the plug.

for upgrade line enthusiasts, the design of non-interchangeable lines may make them lose some fun, but from the results, the design of interchangeable plugs strikes a balance between satisfying the contradiction between interface adaptation and ensuring reasonable matching of wires-as long as you can accept it.

As for the other soul of the flat-head earphone-the sponge cover, Feiao EM5 is equipped with three sponge covers of low frequency, transparent and balanced, each with six pairs attached. According to my personal experience, as long as the sponge sleeve itself does not age during storage, it is not a big problem to ensure comfortable wearing for two years under normal use, and the sponge strip itself can also replace the hard cavity to contact the auricle, thus adding points to the wearing experience.

just as mentioned earlier, even if the flat-head earphones are put on a sponge cover, they can't make everyone feel satisfied when wearing them. In fact, this is the same for in-ear earphones, except that more people can and are willing to accept in-ear earphones, both manufacturers and users.

the flat-headed sound of the new era

In fact, from the overall style, Feiao EM5 and ZAEKE have heard that Feiao beryllium-plated diaphragm are different.

Of course, in essence, we are still positioning a group that is relatively biased towards "consumers". In essence, we are not engineers. Although there are good reasons to think that the flat-head design leads to different styles, there is no sufficient technology and evidence to demonstrate. But only in terms of results, Feiao EM5 does bring a clear sense of freshness in tuning.

Feiao EM5 does not have a very clear sense of cohesion like those in-ear beryllium-plated diaphragm headphones before, and the sound itself is not very stimulating. This may also be considered as the characteristics of the flat-head headset itself. Although compared with the in-ear design, some of the line sense is lost, the overall looseness is improved so that Feiao EM5 can better meet the needs of long-term listening.

does not emphasize the style with obvious sound dyeing, the overall style is still relatively pure and beautiful, but this does not mean that the voice of Feiao EM5 is really plain as water. In my opinion as a female voice enthusiast, the human voice itself has potential toxicity due to its excessive thickness, sufficient sense of existence, good smoothness and high degree of separation between instruments, so I think the tuning of Feiao EM5 is actually quite to my taste.

in terms of low frequency sense and texture, Feiao EM5 is obviously relatively brilliant in flat headphones. Although it is not the real "heavy taste" in flat-head headphones (in fact, there are many flat-head headphones with stronger low-frequency measurement on the market), it is certainly not a big problem for good texture and relatively sufficient measurement to set off the atmosphere in the rhythmic repertoire. Moreover, the low frequency part of this earphone is relatively transparent, which is even more rare.

for me, who cares more about medium and high frequencies, Feiao EM5 can bring bright and energetic listening to medium and high frequencies, especially high frequencies. Its high frequency not only has a good sense of extension and line, but also has an excellent overall degree of transparency, which is a perfect match for those instruments that need a sense of transparency to awaken vitality. However, the sufficient high-frequency smoothness and the loose listening feeling of flat-head headphones also bring a slight air feeling to the high-frequency-based musical instruments.

As for the analytical power and information, I don't think it is necessary to put too much pressure on Feiao EM5. Users who pursue these hard qualities are obviously more suitable for in-ear headphones. After all, this is not the strength of flat-head headphones in itself. At this time, think more about the natural sound field of flat-head headphones. The natural sound field of Feiao EM5 and the smoothness of edge transition are enough to become the reason why many people love "ears.

Generally speaking, Feiao EM5 is more like a beryllium-plated diaphragm earphone with clear bonus in looseness and hearing resistance. Perhaps the purest definition of Hi-Fi or quality may not have any advantages over in-ear headphones at the same price, but on the basis of ensuring relatively high quality, it can bring in-ear wearing and relatively unique styles beyond the in-ear type. In my opinion, it already has full existence value.

Besides, unlike the previous high-resistance flat-head market, Feiao EM5 is a relatively easy-to-push earphone. The smart phone and the entry-level patch cord can make it sound, which is much better than the high-resistance flat-head that has to be installed on a desktop computer to give full play to its strength. After all, it is installed on the computer. Does it not smell good when I buy a headset?

flat-head headphones are faced with lightness-even some scenes that require poor sound insulation. At least when writing the evaluation of Feiao EM5, I can hear the earnest teachings of the Grand Commander on the evaluation and revision opinions even when listening to songs.

existence is reasonable

in this big era of flat-head headphones, who can introduce a flat-head headset with sufficient quality and good tuning for users of flat-head headphones is already a matter of gratitude.

with a design that looks like an old era, Feiao EM5 is equipped with a very modern Hi-Fi sound. This is a renaissance of flat-head headphones and a new attempt of flat-head headphones in the new era. As a person who is full of too much selfishness on flat-head headphones, I hope that the relationship between flat-head headphones and in-ear headphones is more like film, digital images, pens and ballpoint pens, and can coexist with the darling of the new era to a certain extent.

Feiao EM5 may be exploring such a path. After all, users who have a demand for flat-head headphones always exist. Perhaps the market is relatively narrow, and perhaps the spending power of flat-head players is limited. Products that can try to meet a few demands are always a little more sentimental. And for flat-head plug enthusiasts, such high-end flat-head headphones do provide a better choice.

, for flat-headed lovers, existence itself is already enough respect.
