preface
The last time Bear Meow experienced the Rambler's W820NB Double Gold Standard Edition is already very fragrant, this time to experience the Rambler's headphones flagship model W860NB Pro, try whether it will be more fragrant, don't go to the beginning of how to be verbose, directly open the evaluation process, what can't be understood, welcome to private message Bear Meow exchange, by the way, the 6.18 in 2023 is coming soon, W860NB Pro has dropped to a very heartwarming price.
Open the box first
Unlike the W820NB, the W860NB Pro supports 3.5mm wired input, accessories have an additional 3.5mm audio cable, as well as headphone storage bags and aviation plugs, that storage bag bear meow likes very much, the workmanship is good.
Briefly talk about the hardware configuration of the W860NB Pro
W860NB Pro sound unit adopts imported voice coil line + titanium plated diaphragm 40mm dynamic unit, frequency response range of 20Hz~40KHz, audio strength has obtained Hi-Res and Hi-Res Wireless double small gold standard certification.
Titanium-plated diaphragm often appears in thousands of wired HiFi headsets, but W860NB Pro is only priced at 579 when it is promoted in a certain east, and it also supports wireless and noise reduction functions, which is really fragrant! The titanium-plated diaphragm unit boiled on the sound is also good, and we will talk about the sound quality performance in detail later.
In terms of Bluetooth configuration, W860NB Pro adopts Bluetooth 5.3 technology, supports A2DP, AVRCP, HCP Bluetooth protocol, audio decoding supports LDAC, AAC, SBC, LDAC, supports 96KHz/24bit, 990kbps.
The battery life is about 34 hours of noise reduction, about 55 hours of noise reduction, the depth of noise reduction can reach -45dB, call noise reduction using CrossBeam true four microphone call noise reduction technology, other configuration parameters ah go to see the official description, bear meow is not here more verbose, W860NB Pro software and hardware configuration parameters are still very high.
Workmanship, wearing evaluation
W860NB Pro is much stronger than W820NB in workmanship details, the headset panel is similar to the touch of leather, the head beam is metal, and the use of telescopic kit to improve the service life, wearing bear meow measured without chuck, protein skin earmuffs are very soft, comfort is still good.
Battery life evaluation
The volume is controlled at 50%, no noise reduction and a wave of noise reduction tested down, the battery life is almost the same as the official, there is no big problem, the specific depends on the time difference caused by the volume control, if it is not deep use, no more than 2 hours a day to use, even if the noise reduction can be fully charged, can be used for more than ten days, do not open the noise reduction for indoor use, then almost 1 month only need to be fully charged 1 time on the line, really fragrant.
Edifier Connect app review
W860NB Pro supports Rambler's own Edifier Connect APP, which is powerful and easy to operate, and there is no stuttering during the bear meow evaluation.
This headset supports five working modes of deep noise reduction, comfortable noise reduction, wind noise, ambient sound, and noise reduction, and supports micro-adjustment of wind noise, sensitive and sensitive control without lag, and Mandarin voice prompts are praised.
Support three sound effect choices, support EQ to adjust the desired sound
Support touch settings, sound effect selection, game mode and other functions.
Noise reduction, wind noise protection and ambient sound mode evaluation
Noise reduction supports comfort and deep noise reduction modes, compared with the previous noise reduction headphone ear pressure is more serious problems, the W860NB Pro can hardly feel the discomfort caused by ear pressure, and the noise reduction depth has also been increased to -45dB. Xiong Meow took the W860NB Pro to turn on the deep noise reduction to take the subway and bus, the external sound was almost completely eliminated, only when a huge roar was generated, some small noise could be heard, and the noise cancellation of public relations traffic was still no problem.
Comfortable noise reduction performance will be a little lower, take the subway will hear more outside noise, in the street and supermarkets most of the noise can be canceled, anti-wind noise bear meow riding shared bicycles and running tried, can offset a lot of wind noise, in general, the functionality is good, noise reduction is also enough, but not completely erase the feeling of external sounds.
Call assessment
The W860NB Pro's call noise reduction level is excellent, and there will be no external noise interference during the measured call, which will reduce the call quality.
Game mode review
The game mode has played several kings of glory, the sound and picture synchronization is accurate, the human ear can no longer feel the delay, playing chicken is also this feeling, unless the network abnormality causes the jam, there will be a phenomenon of sound and picture out of synchronization.
Bluetooth distance, delay sensing evaluation
Xiong Meow took W860NB Pro to do a distance test outdoors and indoors, indoor 1~2 walls in about 8 meters is no problem, there will be no intermittent situation, more than 2 walls and more than 8 meters will appear intermittent, outdoor can reach more than 10 meters transmission distance, with W860NB Pro watched an afternoon of movies, did not appear intermittent 1 time, excellent stable performance, Bluetooth open is also a second connection pairing.
Sound performance evaluation, the evaluation phones are: OPPO Reno8 pro+, Meizu 17Pro
The sound experience is for reference only, and the specific content is subject to the on-site mobile phone model, song source condition and personal listening experience.
Headphone cooker time: more than 50 hours
Tips
W860NB Pro adopts titanium plated diaphragm, the early rigidity is large, need to cooker, the cooker can hear the good sound of the unit in about 50 hours, how to cook? Turn the volume to 40% and play the song casually, and the first round of battery is almost used up, and the cooker is 50 hours.
The lazy cooker method is to turn on the cooker before going to bed, wake up for 8 hours, and then turn off and rest for a while, turn on and continue to boil when you go to work, at least about 20 hours a day, turn off the machine after going home and rest, turn on the cooker before going to bed, about 3 days to boil almost, of course, you can also listen directly without the cooker, but if you want to quickly hear the good state of the unit, it is best to boil it according to this method taught by Xiong Meow, after the pot is opened, the sound is greatly improved.
In addition, W860NB Pro also supports other sound selection and EQ modes, which can be selected and adjusted according to your own needs, and the default mode is enabled during the evaluation for listening sensitivity evaluation.
Master tuning style
The main mixing style of W860NB Pro is three-frequency balanced, compared with W820NB, it does not pay so much attention to the performance of the middle and lower sets, and the instrumental positioning distance and analytical information are also better than the W820NB, and the overall tuning style is more dependent on the balanced quality flow.
Among the many head-wearing Bluetooth headsets, the sound of W860NB Pro is more transparent and clean, there is not much information in the middle and lower disks, resulting in three-band congestion and stuffiness, W860NB Pro is not a thin voice, three-band density is full, the timbre is warm, the atmosphere and vocal emotional expression is also better than the W820NB, more omnivorous, and can also be solved in response to various track styles.
Sound stage performance
If you look closely, you can find that the W860NB Pro has optimized the tuning details in the earcup details and cavity, increasing the channel distance, even if the W860NB Pro is a closed design, through detail optimization can also provide a relatively balanced, larger sound field performance, and better physical sound insulation performance.
Musical instrument performance
W860NB Pro's musical instrument performance is transparent and clean, without a bit of stuffiness, this is done quite well, the overall tone of the instrument is warm, the density of the knot is full and the sense of line is not weak, there will be no thin cold stimulation of the hearing, the positioning of the instrument is more accurate, the sense of distance from each other can be heard, but not so obvious, the three-dimensional sense of the entire sound frame is still there, the layering from top to bottom and the positioning position of various musical instruments are reflected.
Although there is still a gap compared to which thousands of wired HiFi headphones, reflected in the separation distance and the amount of information parsed, but in a variety of wireless headphones, the resolution and separation of W860NB Pro is indeed a lot stronger, you can hear the amount of information of many instruments, when multiple instruments play, they are not easy to stick to each other to cause stuffiness and crowding, listening to guitar, lute, flute, cello sound of bright instruments is also very good.
Vocal performance
The voice of the W860NB Pro is more delicate than that of the W820NB, the tooth tone is much lowered, the knot image is clearer and brighter, you can hear more sound details in the singer's singing, the knot is in the middle position, and there is no sense of hearing behind the voice.
W860NB Pro's vocal line sense is full but not thick, the sense of hearing is warm and affectionate, there is no obvious adhesion with the accompanying instrument to cause stuffiness, listen to love songs loose and enduring, full of details, the disadvantage is that compared with wired HiFi headphones of the same price, there is a certain gap between the line sense of the human voice and the separation distance between the human voice and the instrumental music, but compared to many wireless headphones of the same price, the human voice is really clear and full, and the tooth tone will not explode.
Drum performance
Compared with the low-frequency sultry performance of many wireless headphones, the low-frequency quality is significantly higher.
W860NB Pro's low frequency is large, the condensation is good, the shape of the drum is solid and not stiff, the transient speed is faster, the elasticity is good, the drum beat can clearly hear the atmosphere and rhythm, and the dive is also deeper, the level of detail and information of the drum dissipation can be heard a lot, although it is much stronger than the wired HiFi headphones in the low-frequency diving, separation level and drum condensation, but compared to other wireless headphones low-frequency headphones low-frequency head-to-head sullen hearing is still much stronger, However, this strength has not yet reached the level of HiFi, and it needs to continue to improve.
What kind of songs is the W860NB Pro suitable for?
Popular vocals, love songs, R&B, H&P, DJ, Slow Rock, Folk, Chinese Style Instrumental Music, Small Orchestration, Game Movie BGM Soundtrack
Assessment summary
After a wave of evaluation, the W860NB Pro is still very powerful in terms of sound price ratio, whether it is workmanship or wearing feeling, and then the sound quality is really fragrant compared to the price. I can also see the progress of wireless Bluetooth headsets in tuning from this headset, although there is still a gap compared to wired HiFi headsets, but it is also getting closer and closer, maybe the future day the sound quality comparison will be almost no gap. All in all, the Rambler W860NB Pro is not difficult to hear, nor is it stuffy, and as the unit time goes on longer and longer, the three-frequency connection and smoothness will become more and more smooth, and it is more and more beautiful to sound a real fragrance product.
