The success of TWS is undoubtedly squeezing the "ecological niche" of other Bluetooth headsets, among which the market for portable headsets and single-ear call headsets has shrunk significantly, and the popular neck-mounted Bluetooth headsets of the year have also been impacted, and the recent large new products in this category are quite small, but recently Baiya is unusually normal, launching a high-end positioning "BLUE BYRD 2" neck-mounted Bluetooth headset.
Bai Ya, English name "beyerdynamic", once Chinese name Baia Power, HiFi circle well-known veteran headphone manufacturer, the inventor of the dynamic earphone (omit the various titles comparable to the dragon mother), the circle loves to call "white teeth", so I still call white teeth.
As one of the "Kings" brands of the old generation, the white tooth sound part is not to worry, let's talk about the design and digital part.
Although the neck-hanging Bluetooth headset is not as portable as TWS storage, it has an innate advantage in use, that is, it is not easy to lose, and it can also be hung on the neck when it is not used, without deliberate storage, and it is not easy to fall off after wearing.
BLUE BYRD 2 belongs to a relatively small and lightweight neck hanging headphones, its neck hanging part is a lightweight memory alloy, very soft, can be rolled up and stored, takeaway coating is silicone, not traditional hard plastic or PU leather, there is no rubber paint, more friendly to sensitive skin, but also resistant to scrubbing and cleaning.
The main part is also designed to be lightweight, wrapped in lightweight metal, but the top is also made of silicone, with no sharp parts. The earbuds are classic deflected cavity structures, small, lightweight, comfortable to wear, and offer 5 pairs of silicone ear tips, of which XS can be adapted to the female ear canal. After choosing the right silicone ear tips, its physical passive noise reduction ability is also quite good.
Blue BYRD 2 supports IPX4 rated water and sweat resistance, suitable for daily life or sports.
Bluetooth, BLUE BYRD 2 is the latest Bluetooth 5.2 standard, support AAC and Qualcomm's latest aptX Adaptive audio encoding, of which aptX Adaptive is the main audio encoding promoted by Qualcomm in the future, which can dynamically switch between sound quality priority, signal priority and delay, effectively improving the overall sound quality performance of the headset.
In terms of calls, Qualcomm CVC's eighth-generation high-definition microphone is used, and the suppression of ambient noise is very obvious, and the call sound is clear and full
BLUE BYRD 2 also supports multi-device connectivity, which automatically connects different devices without the need for multiple pairing switches. The official battery life is 14 hours, and it has Qualcomm fast charge, which can be used for 2 hours after charging for 10 minutes, and it is a Type-C port.
In terms of sound, neutral nature is the embodiment of white teeth' understanding of music in the past hundred years, and the sound of BLUE BYRD 2 is no exception, with a very good full-band performance, the sound is transparent and natural, the vocals are full and clean, and the low frequencies are deep and powerful, but the overall is still the neutral high-resolution transparent "white teeth". If the sound of Apple headphones is boiled water, white teeth are "real water without fragrance", truly objectively restoring the essence of sound and truly exposing the existence of HiFi origin.
Of course, if you just like "verb big words" or "aftersound", it doesn't matter, Baya has an App called MIY that can make subtle adjustments to BLUE BYRD 2, including adjusting the EQ gain (the app is called the equalizer, professional praise), redefining the key function, etc., and even detecting your aural weaknesses through testing and customizing compensation.
In short, whether it is software or hardware, as well as sound performance, BLUE BYRD 2 is currently one of the best neck-mounted Bluetooth headsets, and the demand for this category can be given priority.
