In the field of neck-mounted wireless headphones, major manufacturers have launched a variety of flagship and classic products, such as Sony WI-1000XM2 a few years ago, Wanmo positioning fever-level three-unit neck-mount wireless headphones and other products, in addition to representing the flagship level of their own neck-mount products, but the follow-up has not updated the next generation of products. At the same time, as a German fever manufacturer, Baiya also further expanded the wireless headset product line after launching the wireless version of Sherantu, and launched a highly cost-effective BLUE BYRD after integrating its own audio advantages, which was used to occupy the neck-mounted wireless headset market. If you simply say BLUE BYRD this headset, the product itself has the ability to compete for the top neck-mounted wireless headphones, the price of thousands of yuan + audiophile-level audio playback ability + the big name of Baiya, which is enough for many headphone enthusiasts to use BLUE BYRD as a commuting scene replacement for wired audiophile headphones.
And in terms of 2 years of market trends, today's headphone market is not the world of neck-mounted wireless headphones, although there is no bottleneck in the technical neck-hanging wireless headphones, but after the introduction of true wireless headphones and the gradual solution of various delays and audio transmission problems, the consumption willingness of true wireless headphones is undoubtedly above the neck-mounted products, manufacturers undoubtedly prefer to launch a variety of true wireless products, so BLUE BYRD This kind of neck-mounted products Although the sound is representative of the product, if it is not Baiya to participate in the intentional Perhaps, as other manufacturers do, there will be no second-generation products. But as a veteran German headphone manufacturer Baiya is often so surprising and willful, the second-generation product BLUE BYRD 2 arrived as promised in 2022, sending me, a headphone enthusiast, some surprises and relief.
I have a Baiya BLUE BYRD 2 in hand has been listening to for a while, as mentioned above, the sound quality of BLUE BYRD 2 no doubt, there is a strict tuning of Baia as an Ashkenazi manufacturer, but also there are wireless product lines for popular and omnivorous music considerations, can crush the general true wireless headphones, and fever wired headphones first than there will be no obvious quality gap. In my opinion, the benefits of neck-mounted products are self-evident, first of all, they are superior to wired headphones in terms of convenience, and there is no need to consider the front-end matching problem, which can be directly heard on the neck, and the stethoscope effect is smaller during exercise and commuting. At the same time, because the volume space is larger than that of true wireless headphones, the design margin of components is more sufficient, if the engineer's high-quality tuning and reasonable design, the listening sense and quality can be completely benchmarked wired audiophile headphones. Moreover, whether it is a generation of BLUE BYRD or today's BLUE BYRD 2, Baiya is actually ambitious for this product, the unit quality is super strong, Baiya's own 10 ~ 25000Hz high-frequency wide-frequency unit combined with its own tuning advantages, the overall listening sensation is only slightly weaker than the wireless Sherantu, can be completely on some other fever front-end + wired fever headphones listening and quality. Although it is said that purely considering the convenience of the real wireless headphones will be a good choice, but in terms of the dual advantages of sound + convenience, BLUE BYRD 2 is undoubtedly a more comprehensive and balanced consideration.
Compared with a generation of products, Baiya BLUE BYRD 2 is still simple, the packaging of the small box is good, but after opening the box, you will find that BLUE BYRD products and accessories still pursue pragmatism, but the attached headphone cover is very complete, there are a total of 5 specifications from XS to XL, for a headset product, such a headset sleeve specification segmentation is relatively rare. And compared with the silicone sleeves that are commonly supplied with fever headphones, the blue BYRD 2 headphone sleeves are obviously softer and skin-friendly, slightly thicker than a generation of BLUE BYRD, meeting the needs of comfort and fit, and to a certain extent meeting the needs of different users with perfect playback performance.
From the product appearance, Baiya BLUE BYRD 2 cavity inherits the design of the first generation, but the neck hanging part is obviously different, the soft silicone replaces the original design similar to the bilateral drive, but the headphone cavity also has a large "Y" shaped LOGO, the recognition is relatively high, and the overall fashion is relatively young. Moreover, although the design has changed, but the headphone cavity itself is still relatively small and mini, the ear part of the design is also very rounded, there is a certain engineering design component, after choosing a suitable headphone cover, BLUE BYRD 2 wearing feeling is very excellent. At the same time, as mentioned above, as a neck hanging product, BLUE BYRD 2 is only 32g, although the weight looks larger than that of true wireless headphones, but the neck undoubtedly bears most of the weight when wearing, so in addition to solving the stethoscope effect, the falling burden on the headphones is the lightest, whether it is commuting or sports scenes, for BLUE BYRD 2 is not a big problem.
Some people may ask, blue BYRD 2 in today's view, the configuration will be backward? This concern is actually unnecessary. First of all, in the hardware configuration, BLUE BYRD 2 is updated to the specifications of Bluetooth 5.2, holding the aptX adaptive transmission protocol, and a generation of BLUE BYRD that only supports aptX LL, regardless of power control and stability is better, in addition to inheriting the advantage of low latency, it also solves the bandwidth transmission problem of high-specification audio, and the driver and audio source can give full play to the performance of blue BYRD 2 units. At the same time, because the high-performance unit of BLUE BYRD 2 requires more powerful driving capabilities, BLUE BYRD 2 as a whole will not be longer than some true wireless headphones that use low-impedance high-sensitivity units, but fortunately, BLUE BYRD 2 supports fast charging this time, known as charging for 10 minutes, listening to songs for 2 hours, which is relatively friendly. In addition, BLUE BYRD 2 is also equipped with the eighth generation of cVc HD call, iptx4 waterproof and other functions, which is a functional module that perfects the daily experience.
On the other hand, BLUE BYRD 2 has a "wired" usage, that is, to use USB-C to directly connect the headphones and mobile phones, and turn on the built-in decoding mode of BLUE BYRD 2, replacing the original wireless audio playback method. From my personal experience, the "wired" usage of sound low frequency dynamics and overall dynamics will be a little stronger, the level of resolution and wireless connectivity will be consistent, if the pursuit of convenience, wireless is still the best choice. But there is no doubt that the advantage of BLUE BYRD 2 using USB-C to connect mobile phones is that it can even listen and charge while charging, which is a good "life-saving" solution.
From an listening point of view, the "MIY" of BLUE BYRD 2 is also worth playing with. The so-called "MIY", in fact, Isia has been on the shelves for many years called "MAKE IT YOURS" claimed to be able to achieve personal sound customization APP, when using Baiya headphones, you can test your own listening level, listening preferences in this APP to establish a hearing file, combined with Baiya's own name "MOSATC detail compensation" technology, so that different users in the pairing of different headphones after death, can occasionally get a better sense of hearing through acoustics, In principle, it can be regarded as an advanced "rational" EQ, which may be more able to meet its own needs than the user's own manual. After opening the customized sound after passing the listening test, I personally feel that the low frequency will be more condensed, the high frequency will obviously have a more linear processing, the overtones seem to be richer, and the overall balance feels weaker, but the resolution and information volume of the sensory headphone playback seem to have been improved. In my opinion, custom sound work.
In terms of sound, BLUE BYRD 2 can be described as excellent in one ear, and its most critical criterion is the low-frequency diving realism and overall permeability performance that is different from the general true wireless headphones. Compared with the traditional old Baiya dynamic circle flavor, BLUE BYRD 2 is not a surprisingly calm and ascetic rigorous tuning work, but this headphone undoubtedly still has the ability to highly restore the instrument, low-frequency diving strength and layering, for me, who has used true wireless headphones as the norm in recent years, BLUE BYRD 2 gives me a bright dynamic and dynamic performance. Of course, it may be due to the need for tuning balance, BLUE BYRD 2's low-frequency sense of volume is not excessive, and some of the flagship wired headphones of the IE series of friends are first, BLUE BYRD 2 gives people the feeling that there seems to be a traditional old taste of Baiya, but the tuning is only a fit tuning for pop, jazz and soundtrack playback.
BLUE BYRD 2's transparency performance, to a certain extent thanks to the transverse sound field performance of this headset, under the premise that the high and low frequency ends are extended enough, it does not overly fit the public's needs for the human voice, but it is a bit calm and neutral, especially in the instrumental part of the energy sense demand, BLUE BYRD 2 will be the details of the instrument, overtones are very accurate and delicate, so that the overall sound playback performance is more natural and rounded.
If you are a traditional wired audiophile headphone player, especially a loyal fan of Baiya, you will find that the quality of blue BYRD 2 wireless headphones has not been weaker than the performance of wired headphones, especially in recent years, Baiya headphones have greater vitality adjustments in tuning, no longer appear too fine and rigorous, so that the actual sense of hearing will be more balanced and durable, and the sound quality effect presented is very pleasing. From the perspective of pure hearing and quality, the price of BLUE BYRD 2,000 yuan is not even at all the same price of wired headphones, but it shows a cost performance. From today's market point of view, neck-mounted wireless headphones may not have many products, and the competitors on sale may be launched two or three years ago. The launch of byyer BLUE BYRD 2, in addition to making up for the defects in the blue BYRD specifications of a generation and bringing more gameplay, will undoubtedly also present this series of classic and high-quality sounds to players through higher product specifications. For people who are not headphone enthusiasts, to be honest, the BYYARD BLUE BYRD 2 may indeed not be able to get into the eyes of the law, but for the pursuit of high-quality sound playback needs, while pursuing the convenience of wireless, BLUE BYRD 2 is definitely a good solution in one step.
