A Brief Review of Feiao Q3, an Excellent Original Cable and Portable Audio Solution

people's desire is always so elusive-take portable audio equipment as an example, the current Bluetooth headset technology is very mature in terms of sound quality and delayed endurance, which is enough to meet the needs of most users for portable listening to music. However, while being satisfied with the convenience, I will always miss the voice of the wired era, the full voice without information loss, even at the expense of some portability.

portable decoding earpiece is the standard answer to this requirement. Its idea is very simple, in front of the specific hardware cost, based on sound quality, the rest can be discussed.

Feiao's most successful product when he was known in his early days was not headphones, but portable decoding earphones. And Feiao is obviously a very musical company. They will completely release themselves in pursuit of a flagship flat-head earplug. They will spare no time to develop the increasingly rare flat-head flagship EM5 in the market (see my evaluation: https://weibo.com/ttarticle/p/show?id=2309404541103851569336#_0 for details). This time, Feiao has introduced portable decoding earphones positioned between Q1MKII and Q5 series, striving to achieve a good balance in volume, portability and sound quality.

Q3 integrates 3.5 standard interfaces in a small size, and also comes standard with 2.5mm and 4.4mm balanced outputs. This configuration is relatively rare as a portable audio device. The body is prominently marked with THX lineage ear chip and audio small gold mark certification. As a thousand-dollar decoding earpiece, Q3 is still quite piled up in materials. AKM AK4462 is known as velvet sound DAC chip, MFi authentication, xMOS xuf208 decoding core, good compatibility, etc. On the other side of the machine, Type C data/charging port, gain key, charging switch (to avoid unnecessary consumption of precious power of the mobile phone) and low frequency compensation are provided.

that TypeC-TypeC short-term is directional. The wrong insertion is silent.

decoding earphones is that mobile phones (or computers) are used as pure turntables to output audio and digital information. After all, file navigation and management, mobile phone control can be said to be arbitrary. The task of Q3 is to decode the ear part as mentioned in the product name. During the test, the most common APE/FLAC lossless and 320Kbps MP3 were used, and Feiao three-step earplug FH3 (see my evaluation: https://weibo.com/ttarticle/p/show?id=2309404542911131025502#_0 for details) was used. The opening sound was a performance full of surprises. I even listened to a few of Meng Tingwei's old albums, which were not yet popular at that time. The best of these albums was the 320K mp3. A song "Winter to Taipei to see the rain" directly brought me the real impact of hearing this song for the first time. The voice of Q3 FH3 is very full and warm, and the "tube smell" is full. The guitar treble in the prelude of the song is crisp, and the low frequency of the bass is full of strength. I couldn't believe it was the sound source of mp3 format at first. I am not a fan of Cantonese songs, but I listened to several classic songs of Beyond at random, and the warm and powerful sound performance still made me want to stop. Hearing this, I can't help but sigh that cable is still strong after all-if you can accept its relative inconvenience.

Of course, Q3 has also provided enough accessories to overcome this shortcoming, such as fixed leather rings and soft graben for mobile phones of different sizes and tensions, and various connection short lines. Perhaps these are really not a matter for players who only pursue sound quality. Feiao Q3 provides a "sound quality priority first" solution on the premise of little investment, and the sound quality performance is really full of surprises. Feiao Q3 is a good answer to the pursuit of sound quality and the memory of lossless sound playback under wired connection.
