"The overall style is as ethereal as the picture of the Tianshan Mountains, and it sounds like a wisp of emotion that penetrates the bottom of the heart."
This is an evaluation of Hisaishi's music, before Jiang Wen asked this hallowed film score master to compose music for his films, he only made one request, better than Mozart, which led to this steamy "The Sun Also Rises".
Although it is not really comparable to Mozart, as a contemporary film score master, Hisaishi's musical works are widely circulated around the world, especially in Miyazaki's animated films, many of the soundtracks are composed by Hisaishi.
As soon as the melody sounds, "Spirited Away", "Hal's Moving Castle", "Goldfish On the Cliff"... These classic animated images will come to mind.
So OPPO's invitation to hishiro to tune for the OPPO Enco X2 this time is more exciting and exciting for me than asking Hans Zimmer to create a mobile phone ringtone.
Without further ado, let's unbox as usual:
Unboxing: simple and delicate, more delicate and more holistic
OPPO's product packaging box is as simple as ever, but it is not lost, the product picture on the front of the box is similar to the size of the real machine, and there is a small but extremely conspicuous Hi-Res Wireless small gold label certification in the lower left corner, indicating that the sound quality of OPPO Enco X2 wireless headphones has also reached the Hi-Fi level.
After unpacking, the headphones and charging compartment come into view, and the all-over white fuselage is as warm and delicate as jade, and it has the feeling of picking up pebbles by the river when you were a child.
The box has a three-layer design, and the bottom is still the standard contents of the manual, warranty card, A-C data cable, S&L code replacement earbud sleeve.
The back connection of the headphone charging compartment is still Danna's logo, and OPPO's own logo is at the top. The biggest difference from the appearance of the previous generation is that the circle of metal frames is missing, the sense of unity of the charging compartment is stronger, and the buttons on the side have become shorter and wider from the long bar type.
One thing I think must be mentioned in particular is that this generation of headphones is taken out of the charging compartment to be more intuitive, it is directly in the direction of wearing the hand, and it can be used directly when picked up.
The weight of one ear is only 4.7g, if you choose the right size of earplugs, long-term wear will not increase the burden on the ear, after all, this year the ear also bears too much pressure, masks, glasses, headphones these must all be worn on the ear.
Sound quality: Studio-grade Hi-Fi quality
The sound quality of true wireless headphones is the user's first purchase decision - OPPO acoustic research and development leader thinks so, so we also see that oppo Enco X2 particularly emphasizes sound quality, and even invited the hall-level film soundtrack master Hisaishi to tune for this.
For wireless headphones, the biggest innate disadvantage in sound quality is the transmission bit rate limitation of wireless connections, so in addition to the wireless headphones with built-in storage space player audio, the quality of the sound source is limited by wireless transmission.
However, this time, OPPO Enco X2 supports the latest LHDC4.0 HD audio encoding technology, with a maximum transmission bit rate of 900kbps, 96kHz/24bit, which is three times that of SBC encoders, and the regular LDHC bitrate has also been upgraded to 560kbps. This means that music that exceeds CD-quality sound quality can also be transferred. With this also comes more stable connections and lower latency.
Based on this, the OPPO Enco X2 has obtained Sony's Hi-Res Audio Wireless small gold standard certification, and wireless noise-canceling headphones have also entered the Hi-Fi era.
When the transmission protocol supports a higher bit rate, whether the audio can be restored on the headphone side becomes the key to solving the sound quality problem of wireless headphones.
OPPO debuts with SuperDEBEE's second-generation coaxial dual-element technology, a structure consisting of a 6mm flat quad magnetic diaphragm and an 11mm full-frequency drive unit, placed on top of each other.
The stacking of low-frequency and high-frequency units can achieve ultra-high resolution in a limited space while having a good bass dive, which is also a very clever solution to achieve better sound quality in the small size of wireless headphones.
Do not underestimate this 11mm diameter full-frequency driver unit, its thickness is only 0.0095mm, with a wire diameter of only 0.033mm DCCA voice coil, so in a lighter mass, there is a smaller inertia, so that both transient and dynamic performance, the dynamic unit can achieve higher conversion efficiency and higher sensitivity, but also richer details.
The high-frequency unit has newly customized the Sandwich four-magnetic structure, which extends up to 40kHz at high frequencies and has super resolution, so that the high-frequency part will have more details.
Therefore, OPPO Enco X2 already has a "good listening" basis in the hardware part, and the actual listening feel depends on OPPO's tuning style.
Listening: Hisaishi let the master tune and restore the truth
Since the previous generation, OPPO Enco X has been deeply involved in Tanner, from the sound unit to the internal design and sound tuning, which are jointly developed by OPPO and Tanner, which also makes wireless headphones can also have high-end audio technology.
This time in addition to "Tanner tuning", OPPO also brought us a new surprise - "Hisaishi let the master tuning", if The Tanner tuning has a wider applicability and a more pleasing sense of surging listening, then Hisaishi's tuning will restore the real sense of hearing, more light, but also more natural, more suitable for professional audio workers.
We also tried the Enco Matser tuning built into the headphones, the default Dynaudio pure original low frequency is strong and powerful, without the feeling of a boom, while the mid and high frequencies are very full and delicate, and the vocals are clear and transparent.
Hisaishi let the master tuning in fact, the perception is not so obvious, even less than Dan to catch the ear with the tuning, but it is indeed obvious that the sound is more restorative, more natural and real, the first time I heard it was very "boiled water", but after listening to it for a while, you will find that it is actually a "boiling water cabbage" at a state banquet.
So the master tuning is not a gimmick, on the contrary, many products under the banner of Hi-Fi headphones will strengthen the high-frequency part of the bottomless line, so that many enthusiasts with rich listening experience feel super analytical and extremely rich in details at first listening, but after listening for a long time, they will feel that it is a bowl of soup with too much MSG and no nutrition.
I think that enthusiasts who really love Hi-Fi and have a certain pursuit of sound quality will love this headset, and among the wireless headphones I have ever heard, the oppo Enco X2's listening can be said to be the most satisfying and extremely balanced. Of course, if you prefer bass, maybe this won't be your best bet.
However, before experiencing it, I still recommend spending five minutes with the "Golden Hearing" to test it, and build your own ear canal sound model, so that the sound reproduction is more accurate, and the difference between different ear canals can also achieve a close hearing sense, ensuring that the sound output of OPPO Enco X2 can be closest to the ideal effect of the recording studio.
Noise reduction: Put on headphones to isolate the hustle and bustle of the world
Noise reduction has become a necessity for me, I must wear headphones to block the roar of the subway when commuting, and by default, the headphones can switch between noise reduction and transparency mode by long pressing (pinching) the earphone handle.
In fact, there are many products on the market that claim that the depth of noise reduction is 35-40dB, but the actual noise reduction effect will be affected by frequency, only for some low-frequency noise to achieve. So for noisy vocals, traditional noise-canceling headphones don't have much effect except for physical isolation.
But the OPPO Enco X2 gave me a big surprise, and it was also very effective in reducing the noise of the human voice in the environment, and I wore headphones and couldn't even hear the names of the people around me calling me.
In addition to the depth of noise reduction, the noise reduction bandwidth is also the judging dimension that determines the actual noise reduction effect, the former represents the maximum amount of noise reduction for a certain frequency, and the latter means that the range of sound frequencies can be processed.
The oppo Enco X2 has an effective noise reduction frequency bandwidth of up to 4000Hz, and can also achieve a very effective noise reduction effect for the human voice band that is difficult to eliminate for other noise-canceling headphones, and the deepest depth of noise reduction dives reach 45dB. It has a wide noise reduction range and sufficient noise reduction depth.
The reason why it can also have an effective noise reduction effect on the mid-frequency vocals is because on the basis of feedback active noise reduction, feed-forward active noise reduction is used at the same time, and each earbud has two high signal-to-noise ratio noise reduction microphones to achieve double active noise reduction.
Before starting noise reduction, the headphone fit can be checked to determine the most appropriate earbud size to achieve optimal noise reduction, and there is an S&L code in the box to replace.
Of course, turning on the depth noise reduction for a long time is too much pressure for the ear, OPPO Enco X2 can recognize the ambient sound, without the need to manually switch the noise reduction level frequently, and match the noise reduction depth according to the ambient volume, which will greatly improve the comfort for people like me who wear headphones for a long time.
However, it must be admitted that switching to the transparency mode is like turning on the "hearing aid", the ambient sound is amplified too much, it is recommended to adjust the volume down before turning on the transparency mode.
However, the transparency mode of OPPO Enco X2 has greatly improved the high-frequency sound, and a considerable number of noise-canceling headphones on the market will be particularly strengthened for high frequencies when the transparency mode is turned on, and some high-frequency sounds will be more harsh, OPPO controls this very well, and the anti-wind noise is also done well in the transparency mode and noise reduction mode.
Comprehensive experience: Perhaps the most perfect wireless headset available
The connection of OPPO Enco X2 continues the perfect experience of the previous generation, for OPPO, OnePlus, True My mobile phone can be quickly connected, automatic pop-up window display battery information. However, for non-green factory mobile phones, you need to download the Huanlu APP to experience the full function.
The pop-up window can also change the theme, in addition to the Emperor IP pop-up window and ski theme, this time also released the "Wheat Field and Cypress Tree" and "St. Adrés Garden" two theme pop-ups in cooperation with the metropolitan museum of art, more personalized, but also more artistic.
The effect of the four personalized pop-ups is as shown in the picture, and I hope to add more personalized themes in the future.
One of my favorite things is probably the device's auto-switching feature, where oppo Enco X2 can automatically determine the source of sound and switch devices when connecting tablets and phones at the same time. And this feature not only supports OPPO family buckets, but also has a good adaptation for Android, iOS, Win, and watches.
In terms of battery life, OPPO Enco X2 can be used with a charging compartment for up to 40h, even if there is no power, it can quickly return the blood to the headphones through fast charging, charge for five minutes, and listen to songs for two hours.
At the same time, the charging compartment also supports wireless charging, but due to the design of the coil, only the Danna Logo can be used to stimulate the Qi protocol, remember not to reverse.
For calls, OPPO Enco X2 is equipped with a bone conduction microphone, which supports AI bone voiceprint call noise reduction, even if the ambient environment is noisy, it can also assist the pickup through bone conduction, so that the person on the other side of the phone can also hear what to say.
Therefore, for speech recognition is also more accurate, without waking up the voice assistant can be directly through the voice command for headphone control. Next, the volume reduction, noise reduction mode, when it is not convenient to control by hand, you can also directly control the headphones through the voice.
However, I still like to control it manually, and it is really elegant and intuitive to slide it with my hand to adjust the volume, and it is convenient and practical to have an in-ear detection so it can be taken off the automatic pause.
In general, oppo Enco X2 is only "Hisaishi let tune the true wireless Hi-Fi headphones" is enough to return to the ticket price, studio-level sound quality experience, almost isolated from the outside world noise reduction ability, with OPPO mobile phone perfect ecological experience, these together constitute the excellent performance of this headset.
