ESS praises the sound of the United States E10 in-ear headphones evaluation report

SoundMagic is a headphone brand from China. So far we are still not familiar with their brand, but we can get into the sound of this E10 earphone, have the recommendation of enthusiastic users, and also have the credit of Sina Weibo. E10 is a traditional dynamic unit in-ear headphones. Its price is not high. The actual retail price is only 200 yuan, and its shape and color are more fashionable. The metal casing is also more exquisite. In addition, E10 is available in addition to red, yellow, purple, gray and other colors. What is the sound performance of this headset?

The sound of this E10 earphone in our hands is a red version, but in the picture we see that the red color of the earphone wire seems to be slightly orange. This subtle difference is related to the lighting of the shooting, and also the visual experience of everyone. Differently related. In actual use, the red version of the E10 is not as red as the Beats headphones, but it rarely has an orange feel, but the red is slightly lighter. The wire of E10 is of good quality, but this colored wire is just as white as the white wire, and it will not be so dirty in the worsening environment.

The E10 is paired with red and black pop colors, and the black card is decorated on the line card and the headphone case. The E10 headphones use a metal case, but the material is relatively thin and the weight of the headphones is acceptable. The most important thing is that the whole length of the earphone is reasonable in design, and the center of gravity when wearing is very suitable. It can be placed on the support point of the outer ear, so it will not feel too heavy and comfortable when worn. Of course, it will not be as light as the H260 and Inear2.

According to the official information, the E10 uses a 10mm diameter driver with a neodymium iron boron magnet, impedance of 16 ohms, and sensitivity of 100dB. The sensitivity index is not high in small earplugs [Vsonic GR07 is 105dB sensitivity], maybe everyone wants What about the performance of a portable player and mobile phone with the E10? Below we conduct a test of subjective hearing.

In the subjective hearing test, we used iPod Classic, iPhone 4, Sony B152F and Colorful C3 as the player sound source, and Monitor 03 US as the reference for the sound card device. Contrast headsets include Vsonic GR07, the innovative Aurvana Air, and the Edifier H260. We took the headset down for more than 200 hours, but from the downtime process, this headset is enough after only about 30-50 hours of downtime, and the opening of the E10 will leave a good impression. Its sound is atmospheric, the sound is thick, the dynamic performance is good, and it is not difficult to drive. The B152F has a good performance. Below we will intersperse the difference between the different players, the following evaluations are not specifically stated from the iPod Classic.

High-frequency performance: The high-frequency density of the sound beauty E10 is good, the sound line is relatively thick, there is good dynamic, the sound atmosphere is easy to control, on the Sony B152F, the high frequency is not sharp and burr under the exaggerated dynamics. On a player with better driving force, its high frequency will be slightly softer. The high frequency performance of the E10 is even better than the Vsonic GR07 in terms of dynamics and density. Maybe everyone was surprised? However, the E10 does not fully meet the GR07 level. Its resolution is not as good as that of the GR07. Compared with the H260 and the Vsonic GR04 we introduced earlier, the resolution of the E10 is only slightly better, but with Aurvana Air and GR07. Compared with headphones, there is still a gap in resolution.

Overall, the high-frequency E10's high-frequency performance is good on all kinds of players, it is easy to drive and easy to show great dynamics, which is very rare in small earplugs, its sound is slightly warmer, in the warm The mid-high frequency part is slightly tight, the sound is rarely burr, and the sound level is better. For an in-ear earphone, the performance is already very satisfactory. Compared with the thousand-yuan high-end headphones, the main gap is in terms of resolving power.

Mid-range performance: The mid-range characteristics of the sound and beauty E10 are close to the high-frequency, and also have good resolution, but the resolution is also the main difference compared with the high-end headphones. Its intermediate frequency is obviously thicker than GR07, and the dynamics are slightly better. The whole sound is more powerful and full, but if it is compared with GR07, it has insufficient resolution in the middle and high frequency and the tight sound style makes it The IF is a bit rigid. In the vocal performance, the sound of the sound of the E10 is full, there is a certain advantage in the vocal midrange, there is no disadvantage in the middle and low frequency part of the resolution, due to the dynamic advantage and thicker sound, let it in The sound of the low frequency part is clean, the level is good and there is tension, and the resolution is also much higher than the level of the medium and high frequency.

The sound style of the sound of the E10 atmosphere makes its medium frequency show some fast-paced dance music, even the large-scale symphony is quite calm, the sound has a certain momentum, which is also rare in the in-ear small earplugs, even GR07 Under the iPod Classic, its performance is also obviously lacking in dynamics. The dynamics of the E10 is good. Its sound is compact and powerful, the sound is stable, and the sound level is better controlled under large dynamics. As an in-ear earphone, such performance is very characteristic. Many times it is not an in-ear type. Small earplugs.

Low-frequency performance: The sound of the E10 in the low-frequency performance, still inherits the dynamic advantage, the sound is more atmospheric. In the B152F or mobile phone and other weak sound sources, its low frequency is slightly scattered, the resolution is affected, but it also performs well. If on the iPod Classic, its mid-low frequency is more convergent and softer, the deeper part of the low-frequency dive still has a good resolution. If you hear the music that just needs low-frequency performance when you listen, it may be deeply resolved by its low frequency. Deeply attracted. In the low frequency performances such as cello and timpani, the E10 performance is exceptionally stable and clean, even on the colorful C3 with insufficient thrust, there is a very clean low frequency. On the B152F and iPod Classic, its low frequency is more powerful, the dynamics are better, the sound is more convergent, but the resolution is not affected. The low frequency performance of the E10 also shows that this is an easy to drive headset. Compared with the GR07, the E10's low frequency can get better dynamic and thicker sound on the portable player.

E10 sound style summary: Sound E10 is a very special earphone. When evaluating this earphone, let us recall the Philips SHP8900 and Plextor D500. Of course, the sound style of E10 is not the same as the two headphones. Where, but in some parts there is a common place. First of all, the resolution of the E10 is really not enough in the small earplugs. Of course, it is better than the same price, even the performance of the earplugs with a price of more than 500 yuan, but compared with the high-end earplugs such as the GR07, it is still quite biased. Weakened some. But the E10's dynamic performance on the portable player can be called a very high level, its dynamic performance is better than the GR07, which is similar to the Plextor D500, very suitable for use on ordinary audio sources.

The sound style of the sound beauty E10 is somewhat similar to the Philips SHP8900. Its sound is thicker overall, not soft enough, although the dynamic is good, but the sound is still somewhat restrained. This kind of sound is slightly lacking in aura when composing music and vocals, but the sound is full and the details are good enough. Thicker sound lines, atmospheric sounds, and good enough dynamic performance are very special in small earplugs when expressing large volumes of music. Of course, everyone should not be intimidated by the contrast of the SHP8900. The E10 is relatively more balanced, and the sound source is not so difficult to serve. The sound is much wider than the SHP8900.

Summary: We summarized the E10 performance with two less-related headphones as a reference above, because the E10 as an in-ear small earplug does have some rare breakthroughs in sound style, and this style is impressive. More profound. The advantages of the E10 can be summarized as: it can achieve good dynamics in portable audio sources, mobile phones [better than most earphones, even high-end earplugs], fuller and thicker sound, better resolution in the middle and low frequency, balanced, clean, Clear sounds, easy to control low-frequency distortion and so on. The key point is that these performances are available on ordinary portable audio sources. And its shortcomings and shortcomings are that the high frequency and medium and high frequency resolution is weak, and the sound is slightly restrained. If it can be improved in terms of shortcomings without affecting its advantages, it will be a high-level work in a high-end headset, and now it is just a headset of more than 200 yuan. On the whole, the sound beauty E10 not only has a high cost performance, but also the sound performance can exceed most of the earplugs with the same price or even 2-4 times its price.
