, music wireless-Feiao new X1 second-generation multi-function player

2016 can be described as a year when portable digital products broke out. Many manufacturers rushed to release new products that followed the trend. Feiao, one of China's powerful manufacturers from Guangzhou, released a series of audio products with good sound quality at the Guangzhou Oriental Hotel Headset Exhibition on September 10. One of the most eye-catching is the new X1 second generation. It is a stylish and powerful player with outstanding cost performance. The price is 666 yuan. I believe no one will forget such a personalized price. But looking at the player market in the same price range, there are many products that compete with it, so how can X1 II take a place in it and break out? Everyone wants to know, X1 II global unified listing time is 1010th, Xiaobian had the honor to get the prototype before the National Day, after the National Day time of some play research, here to share with you the charm of X1 II.

Appearance and Accessories

is simple and clear. After opening it, I found many interesting accessories. Feiao has always given me the feeling of being a very careful manufacturer. The accessories have a data cable, two screen protectors, two sets of body stickers and clear water sets, so that your love machine has full marks. Unexpectedly, it was discovered that there were still three small gold stickers, because many of Feiao's products were certified by Hi-Res, including X1 II. (Later, it will be changed to directly stick a gold label on the fuselage without additional distribution.)

Feiao X1 II is more smooth and delicate in appearance design, and is not as tough as X3 and X5. Made of all aluminum alloy, it is small in size, 97*55.5*12(mm) in size, 102g in weight, and has a better grip. The metal surface treated by sandblasting process has first-class feel. It has three popular colors (silver/rose gold/black). The key layout still continues the design style of Feiao's iconic physical keys and turntable. The difference is that Feiao X1 II has been upgraded from the previous physical turntable to a touch turntable with independent research and development patent design. After comparing dozens of design schemes and hundreds of experimental tests, Feiao's unique touch dial was finally developed. The touch dial has higher sensitivity, better anti-interference, higher reliability, longer life, and overall improvement of feel. The front is matched with tempered glass mirror design, and the overall grade and sense of technology are improved by several levels.

Hardware configuration and function settings

Feiao X1 II has Micro USB and a 3.5mm earphone port. USB 2.0 (charging/data transmission/base function), multiplexing 3.5mm earphone interface can be used as PO port or converted into LO output in the system, which saves space and is very convenient to use in practice. In the playback settings of the system, you can also select the line output mode of LO mode, including two options of adjustable volume and fixed level. Usually we will choose to use fixed level. The fixed level can also be set at 0db,-3db and-6db to adapt to the matching of ear equipment with different requirements. Of course, I recommend using the 0db option, because when it is set to-6db, the bit rate of the audio will be attenuated accordingly, resulting in a certain degree of sound loss. The output power of PO port is ≥ 90 mW (16 Ω/THD + N<1%), and the thrust corresponds to medium and low impedance earplugs. The output level of LO port line is 1.7 Vrms (10 K Ω/1 kHz), which can be matched with most types of earphones. The wire control function is more perfect, it is effectively suitable for most earphones on the market, and the volume adjustment function is increased. Moreover, when the earplugs are pulled out, the player will automatically pause. The intelligence of UI system is very excellent in the player.

professional-grade high-quality DAC chip, the new X1 DAC chip adopts a Ti high-performance DAC PCM5242. Compared with the PCM5142 of the previous generation X1, it has a higher signal-to-noise ratio and supports fully differential line output, and can realize balanced line output function with K5.

architecture is further optimized. It also has an independent LPF and an independent operational amplifier. At the same time, Feiao has optimized the power supply architecture and circuits to further improve the sound quality of the new X1, making the low-frequency texture and lower dive of the new X1 better.

is a powerful lossless audio format. It supports five common lossless music formats: APE/FLAC/WAV/WMA/ALAC. It can support up to 192kHz/32bit

has a built-in 1800 mA lithium battery, which can be charged for 2.5 hours and lasts more than 10 hours. The deep standby function is added to support the ready-to-use and 15-day long standby time, allowing music to accompany you all the time.

wireless Bluetooth 4.0 to easily enjoy good music. Built-in Bluetooth 4.0 system based on F1C81 chipset can easily enjoy low latency and high sound quality. It can realize Bluetooth two-way transmission, and can also receive Bluetooth signals while transmitting Bluetooth signals (RM1 can be used when connecting Bluetooth headsets or Bluetooth speakers) to get rid of the shackles and kill two birds with one stone. When exercising, you are no longer constrained, you can sweat and enjoy wireless music, and you are not subject to the "line" system.

car good music, accompany all the way. Through the car mode, good music can be perfectly connected with the car audio system, greatly improving the sound quality of the car audio, and let good music accompany you all the way. (When the car starts, X1 Ⅱ also starts; when the car is turned off, X1 Ⅱ also stops working immediately; cumbersome manual operations are omitted)

* In order to ensure better sound quality, the car mode is recommended to connect via AUX line

30000 minutes of listening enjoyment, the MicroSD expansion can support up to 256G, calculated by 30MB of a lossless music, about 8738 songs can be saved; If a song is calculated for 4 minutes, it can be listened to for 34952 minutes, 2098 hours and 87 days.

sound performance

from the above functions, we can see that X1 II has entered the field of consumer electronics, focusing more on life applications and experience, so is it not worth mentioning in terms of sound performance? Of course not, from the audio processing part of the hardware can see that Feiao in the tuning part or a lot of work. I happen to have several earplugs in my hand, namely Feiduo A73 (one iron structure in a circle), ibasso it03 (two iron structures in a circle) and IE800. The track used for this audition is an album I like very much, "Steamboy OST Steam Boy". The movie was released in 2004 and was deeply attracted by his soundtrack when watching it. It uses a large number of classical music elements to create a grand scene and tense rhythm atmosphere. The vocal audition uses popular tracks.

Feiao X1 II and Feiduo A73, although A73 is an entry-level earplug, it has good hearing feeling with X1 II, medium high frequency extension ability, good resolution performance of intermediate frequency, separation degree and detail reduction of musical instruments can be reflected, low frequency dive and quantity sense are relatively balanced, but the performance is not lost, the transverse sound field has a certain width, but the longitudinal performance is general, reflecting a flat oval sound field structure, the vocal tooth sounds are slightly obvious.

Feiao X1 II and it03, the first feeling is that the longitudinal sound field is deeper, and the stereoscopic impression of the whole sound field is immediately restored. Among these earplugs, it is undoubtedly the one with the best sense of hearing. First, it is easier to drive with low impedance, and then it is the structure of double-acting iron and one-moving coil. The high frequency performance is gorgeous, and the medium frequency density is better than A73.. The vocal position is not deliberately prominent, but keeps a comfortable distance from the soundtrack, and the dental sound control is better.

Feiao X1 II and IE800, when IE800 is just replaced, the volume needs to be adjusted to more than 60 squares before the hearing is normal, and the other two are suitable within 50 squares. The first feeling is that the sound field performance killed the other two earplugs. The positioning of the musical instrument is very clear and natural and harmonious. Mainly because it is a single-acting coil design, the connection of various frequency bands is very natural. The texture and density of the musical instrument are excellent. IE800 is undoubtedly one of the best earplugs for listening to classical music. Unfortunately, it is a bit dry in listening to human voices. The taste is not as good as it03 but better than A73. However, for IE800, which is generally recognized as difficult to push, it is really rare that Feiao X1 II can launch this level.

, there is also a special guest, that is, CANSOLO M, which held a grand press conference in Beijing on September 1. In addition to bringing you good music when commuting or traveling, a portable player can also wirelessly connect to the Bluetooth speaker at home via Bluetooth, which is a feeling of freedom being released. I was really surprised in terms of sound effects. I tried to connect other players through Bluetooth connection of Apple mobile phone and AUX port. The sound effects were different. Most of them felt uncomfortable and natural, and did not touch my feeling. However, when I connect the sound after CANSOLO M with Feiao X1 II, it really makes me feel very comfortable and relaxed. It is a bit too much to evaluate Bluetooth speaker with a high quality requirement. However, I only need it to give me the melody to relax and let me feel the warm atmosphere at home.

summary

, in the audition session, I found that when Feiao X1 II played 24/96 or above high-format files, a HI-RES small gold logo pattern would appear on the right side of the screen to indicate that this track is a high-format file, which is very considerate. In addition, I would like to add one more point in terms of listening feeling. I have heard many players and found that Feiao X1 II has an advantage that is less heard in sound, that is, it has a very attractive feeling when performing brass music. The timbre and texture are restored to be very natural, real and attractive. Bronze music is the most expressive, warm and powerful in the midrange area. As the scale increases, the sound will become louder and more energetic. Therefore, the advantage of Feiao X1 II is that it can give you a comfortable listening experience in the midrange area.

Feiao X1 II is a fashionable, portable and multifunctional portable player with sound quality. With a very sincere price of 666 yuan, interested friends may as well go to major dealerships to try and play.
