Contact with the brand of water moon rain is to buy an SSP last year, the experience is good, it is a pity to lose. After a complete lap of experience, I immediately began to write this graphic.
The beautiful girl on the front of the package is still very eye-catching, if the official can give a high-definition large picture to make wallpaper is even better - that is, the sentence "high-performance LCD diaphragm dynamic into the ear headphones" particularly destroys the atmosphere.
The back is printed with various parameters, Chinese in left English and on the right, and a whole frequency response curve. This thing is frank to the old burn, and it is not aware of the new burn. The parameters are probably looked at, the sensitivity is 122dB, the impedance is 32Ω±15%, it is estimated that the mobile phone direct push should be able to push.
The packaging of Shui Yueyu is more or less similar to the packaging of the hammer, which is the kind of "open and open, open and open" design, which belongs to the more interesting hanging. But the packaging design of Shui Yueyu is poor in that it does not have a good guide, and it cannot be like the packaging of a hammer, "to get a thing only needs to open one layer", so that I have finished taking a "family portrait" before I found a small box containing instructions and spare parts under the material storage bag.
The things in the package were a lot of bits and pieces, and the light ear covers were given to six pairs, and it was a bit difficult to take them out and give me the whole thing. Inside the box containing the instruction manual, a small bag was also given, which also contained a small accessory such as tweezers and filters. There has been no change in the headphone cover, and what was originally is still what it is now - a real family design.
The design of the headphone body is still a consistent family design, and the so-called "metal injection molding" is plainly the mold part.
The color is quite attractive, the matte black matte surface with gold lines, there is a feeling of invitation to a high-end banquet, and the font of the side Aria also pulls the style very high. The overall feeling is no longer the cool girl who blows bubble gum in the SSP, nor the sweet girl in the SSR, but the high-cold and elegant witch sister on the cover of the package clearly tells you, "Please keep your distance."
The workmanship and texture are much better than before. The black paint surface is said to be oxidized and colored, and bumps should not drop the paint. It is that the pile of lines and words look more and more like silk screen printing - it is estimated that the color can not escape after all.
The headphone cable was replaced by a double stranded nylon overlay cable from the original crystal cable, which reduced the stethoscope effect to a certain extent while resisting pulling. There is finally a slider on top of the line block. Personally, I think that the slider of the headset is equivalent to the button on the chest of the OL installation: it can be unbuttoned, but it must be there. Wearing comfort is still relatively excellent, after all, so many models of ear wraps, there is no point of optimization experience can not be said.
If this article ends here, the Water Moon Rain Aria will be a decent headset – everything is just the right look. But alas, it can't.
First of all, as a quasi-dessert-grade headphone, Aria did not follow the consistent water-style tuning style, but took a more radical route, which also led to its more controversial tuning style. Although it is said that "a thousand people have a thousand ears, the sense of hearing is subjective" and "the conclusion is for reference only", I still think that Aria's tuning sincerity is not too sufficient.
Personally, I think that although Aria's sound tuning is more radical than ever, and it has opened up a certain gap with the original "water tuning", the overall bias is still relatively simple and clear styles such as JPop/ACG and light music; it is still not very friendly to pop/rock/big group music, etc., and the instrument is not as good as once it is complex - even for some music, the listening sensation is not as good as its own low-grade SSR/SSP; as a new product line, it cannot open a significant gap with its own original product line. That is, there is no substantial progress, more like "tuning for the sake of tuning".
The second point is the instruction manual. It may be that I have not seen much, it is really the first time to see a domestic first echelon of acoustic manufacturers in the manual to require users to "cooker", but also clearly pointed out that "the cooker 100 hours to get a more stretched and less distorted sense of hearing." I think this problem is particularly serious.
"Pot machine", with the so-called "improving sound quality" and at the beginning of the introduction into the domestic burner circle was sought after by a number of first-burned old burners, and was constantly mythologized in word of mouth, as if the headphones that had not been cooked could not be called good headphones, becoming a similar belief. However, with the maturity of domestic burners, there is more and more debate about whether the "pot machine" is useful. There is not yet a single article that can fully prove its usefulness/uselessness. "If you find that the headphones sound terrible when you open the package, and the sound gets better and better as the time of use increases, it's a strange response your brain makes to the world, and the miracle doesn't come to the headphones, but in your brain."
Personally, I think that the "cooker" of headphones is more of a psychological effect. Often tens of hundreds of hours of casserole process, the original sound of the headphones will be gradually forgotten, and then in the process of patience step by step to raise the expectation of the performance of the headphone cooker, so that after 100 hours of complete the whole casserole machine can not wait to get started again. This impatience and excessive anticipation of the cooker's post-cooking performance will make listening pay more attention to "details that have never been heard before", and when heard, it is considered to be the credit of the cooker - although these details may have been expressed at the beginning, but they had never paid attention to it before.
And in fact, this is a very obvious logical problem: since you know that the pot machine can improve the sound quality in 100 hours, why don't you cook it in the factory in advance and sell it?
Headphones are essentially an industrial product, and one of the most basic requirements of industrial products is stability. Just like buying a mobile phone, the most basic requirement is that the software and hardware can be stable and cooperative, and there will be all kinds of strange bugs at both ends in three days. The stability of the headphones, in my opinion, is that the performance after entering the ear will not be too large a gap due to the passage of time. Even if a pair of headphones really shows obvious differences in the course of time, the biggest possibility is that the material used in this headset does not seem to be very reasonable.
Therefore, the suggestions and requirements for the "cooker" on the instruction manual seem to be more like a "self-protection" measure for water moon and rain. With these "suggestions", even if someone is really not satisfied with the sound quality performance after getting started, Shui Yueyu can refute any doubt on the grounds that "this person did not read the instructions and followed the instructions for the cooker"; even after the "casserole" is completed, Shui Yueyu can refute it again on the grounds that the "casserole is not standardized". And my personal little conspiracy theory: 100 hours of cookers, or ten hours of times, repeated ten times, sure that will not exceed the seven-day no-reason return period?
Of course, the above is only a hypothesis, the reputation of Shui Yueyu seems to be relatively good at present, and the official will not say that he smashed his own pot. But even if it's not because of this or that, it seems a bit arrogant.
Finally, to sum up. A headset priced at 399 yuan will make people feel value for money in places that can be clearly perceived such as design, workmanship, texture or wearing experience. But the more or less perfunctory tuning and the instructions that clearly do not consider the consequences (or take into account all the consequences) feel wrong. The whole can still be maintained on the passing line, and it is not as bad as the so-called "HuFi" of some diodes, after all, Shui Yueyu's own tuning experience can still hold this headset no matter what.
But Aria is a quasi-sweet headphone after all, and the headset in this positioning should still be more balanced. If you really have to choose the same ACG style as the outer packaging, and you have to defend yourself with a strong effort, and throw the pot to the user in the name of "pot machine", it is a bit too extreme.
"Headphones are good everywhere, just don't sound good", I think this is the biggest insult to a headset.
