  Pros Excellent build quality with a metal finish Fun, powerful, yet detailed bass  Engaging and forward female vocals Treble is bright and sparkly Decent treble extension and air  Good technicalities  Cons Some bass bleed Recessed, scooped lower midrange   Treble can be harsh and fatiguing Thin note weight and density at lower midrange Male vocals sound distant and dry Slightly thin and metallic lower midrange timbre Heavy shell and short nozzle   Source(s) Jcally JM6 Pro Truthear Shio Ear tips Acoustune AET07 Packaging Borrowed unit, so I can't comment too much on the original packaging. Build Quality Beautiful, solid copper alloy finish throughout the shell. Fit Nozzle is quite short and narrow.  Fit is .. only okay for me. Had to use a tip with a hard stem like the AET07 to make them stay in my ears. Any other tip with softer stems would not work for me. Weight is tolerable for a few hours for me, but feels quite heavy after that. Tonality V shaped.  Bass Sub bass is more prom

SeeAudio Yume 2: My Favorite Hybrid under $200

Image
Pros Beautiful packaging and accessories Excellent build quality with a gorgeous finish Clean yet natural midrange with a hint of warmth  Snappy, punchy bass Female vocals sound amazing and engaging Treble is sparkly and decently smooth Excellent treble extension and air  Great technicalities for a hybrid Cons Shell is a fingerprint magnet   Cable is thin and somewhat easy to tangle  Bass decay can be a bit too fast Lower midrange is slightly thin Slight metallic timbre Treble can be a little intense for long listening sessions Too much air, sounds a little unnatural I bought the Seeaudio Yume 2 from Stars Picker Audio Library after trying them out on several occasions. They are a audio store in Malaysia that offers a variety of different audio gears to try. The staffs are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is comfy and perfect for audio gear testing. Highly recommended to go there for audio related needs.

鑠耳 DZ4: 台幣三千塊也能享有新技術 - 被動式動圈!?

優點 特殊的單體配置 (3動圈 + 1被動式動圈) 高品質的配件 耳機的質感非常好 乾净利落的中頻  低頻表現不錯 女聲靠前,突出 高頻不刺耳 不錯的解析力 不錯的分離度與層次感 缺點 低頻不太扎實,少了一些厚度 中頻,尤其是男聲會偏薄 有時候女聲會過於靠前 高頻偏暗,不夠亮 極高頻的延伸比較一般,導致空氣感偏少 原廠綫的耳鈎太緊 聲明 非常感謝鑠耳願意寄來DZ4讓我完成這篇心得,但是請放心,我會盡力表達我真實的使用心得,鑠耳並沒有影響我的感想 本人對煲機,綫材,搭配有比較小幅度的影響,不會過於注重這些細節 煲機 - 每天都會至少使用10-12小時,大約1周后才會開始寫心得 綫材 - 我有其他4.4的升級綫 (Tripowin Zonie),對換綫不會太敏感 (對我而言,1-5%左右) 小尾巴 - 基本上只要推得到舒服的音量就差不多了,剩下的音色搭配不會把耳機的缺點完全補掉,頂多只會有小幅度的改善(對我而言,5-10%左右) 對我來説,耳套的影響才是最大的,所以我會優先注重耳套,之後才是小尾巴,最後就是綫材,煲機 單體配置 3動圈 + 1被動式動圈 搭配 小尾巴 Truthear Shio 雖然DZ4使用了4顆動圈,可是整體上DZ4還算蠻好推的,不需要用上Shio的High gain模式也可以推得非常棒 耳套 DUNU S&S  開箱 耳機 原本就配著一副平衡硅膠耳套(中) 0.78mm插口 收納盒 質感非常好 旋轉式開關 耳套 兩副平衡硅膠耳套(小,大) 普通,對我來說有點太滑了,比較容易掉出來 三副人聲硅膠耳套(小,中,大) 人聲的確有比較靠前,可是個人覺得有點太刺激,也平衡套一樣滑 線材 4股合計216芯的0.05mm高純度銅鍍銀線材 質感非常不錯,算是這價位的耳機内數一數二好的附送線材 耳鈎會比較緊,耳朵小的燒友們需要多加注意,可是可以嘗試用吹風筒的熱能來稍微改變耳鈎的形狀 佩戴感 導管偏粗,不會太長也不會太短 耳機本體也有點大,原廠線的耳鈎也會有點緊,耳朵小的人需要注意這幾點 整體上佩戴起來還不錯,也不會太重,可是用久了耳鈎會讓耳朵痛了一點,更換綫材或用了熱能來改變耳鈎形狀的話可以解決這個問題 調音 偏中性,中頻比較突出,低頻&高頻比較少 低頻 低頻的表現不錯,可是量不多,點到爲止 細節豐富,下潛還算深,彈性佳 打擊感會比較依賴推力&
