Recently, while browsing Weibo, I noticed a thought-provoking hot search topic: only two headphones have obtained the A-level certification of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. This topic is really interesting, especially for someone like me who uses noise-canceling headphones every day, if only two headphones really meet the A standard, wouldn't the headphones I use now suffer?
So, I was curious to find out which two headphones were so powerful. A message on Weibo wrote: "According to CCTV reports, nearly fifty percent of noise-canceling headphones have insufficient noise reduction... According to the testing and evaluation of headphones by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, only two noise-canceling headphones, NeoBuds Pro and Xiaodu Active Noise Canceling Smart Headphones Pro, have obtained A-level certification, of which Rambler headphones are priced at 698 yuan and Xiaodu headphones are priced at 349 yuan. ”
This result made me smile, because many netizens also questioned it: "Let's not talk about the performance of these two headphones, but at least the test list should be announced." Even if the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is involved, it needs to have a full basis. ”
I immediately searched the internet for the relevant test list, and it turned out that it was not that simple. First of all, Weibo's phrase "nearly fifty percent of noise-canceling headphones have insufficient noise reduction" was indeed reported by CCTV in July last year, but this is already old news. And CCTV did not mention at the time that this was a test by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and that the batch of headphones was monitored by the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), and there was nothing to do with the two.
By this time, I already sensed that the truth of the matter could be more complicated. Through further investigation, I learned that the A-level certification was determined based on the "Multi-scenario Performance Evaluation Research Report of Smart Noise Canceling Headsets and Call Noise Canceling Headsets" released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in December last year. In the report, 12 headphones participated in the selection, but in fact, 4 headphones received comprehensive noise reduction grade A certification, not just two, which is very different from some media reports. The four headphones are the Rambler TWS NB2, Rambler NeoBuds Pro, OPPO Enco Free2i, and OnePlus Buds Pro.
Interestingly, OPPO said in this case: "It seems that if you don't recharge, it will be deleted?" "What's even more puzzling is that there is no model of Xiaodu Active Noise Canceling Smart Headphones Pro. This makes me wonder, who gave Xiaodu headphones the courage to hang the certification of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on their headphones?
After I continued to search deeply on Weibo, I found that as early as October last year, there was already news about Xiaodu obtaining an A-level certificate. However, this news mentions the A-level certificate of innovation evaluation, not the ANC comprehensive noise reduction A-certificate issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in December. The difference between the two is so great that it can even be said that they are completely different.
In fact, this hot search topic itself is like rubbing the heat, taking different certificates to endorse themselves, and using the name of the national department. This behavior is really dishonorable, like holding chicken feathers as arrows. I strongly recommend that this be closely investigated.
In fact, I already saw this hot search yesterday, but I immediately noticed that it was unusual, so I didn't follow it deeply. However, the hot search has attracted 150 million views online and has been forwarded by 110 media outlets, because it has even attracted a lot of attention from state media under the banner of CCTV and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. For those consumers who don't know much about digital products, but want to buy headphones, will they feel that this is a good time and can choose without worry?
However, manufacturers may have earned eyeballs, but for consumers, this is a fraud. Products that are misled to buy, regardless of their quality, at least can be unpleasant to use. Many people may ask, since the A-class headphones certified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can be trusted, can they be purchased with confidence? The actual situation is that no, there are many places worth in-depth study in this test of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
First of all, although there were international brands including Sony, Audio-Technica, Bose, Samsung and other international brands in the test, in the end, only certified headphones were selected from domestic brands. As the report shows, the highest overall performance is actually Bose's QuietComfort
Earbuds, however, did not receive an A certification. In addition, this test adopts the method of self-declaration by enterprises, that is, the manufacturer submits the product for testing. This means that many good headphones that are not tested may not be failing, but simply because they were not sent for testing. This also explains why some popular brands such as Huawei and Apple are not included in the scope of certification, because they may not need these certificates to prove the quality of their products.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that the current test standards for noise-canceling headphones have not been unified and standardized. The effectiveness of noise reduction depends largely on individual differences. If you have high requirements for noise reduction performance, I recommend that you try to increase your budget, after all, you get what you pay for, this principle always applies.
In short, this hot search incident not only makes people doubt the real situation of the headphone market, but also reveals the troubles caused by false propaganda in the information age. When buying digital products, we should remain rational, seek verification from multiple parties, do not believe in the so-called "national certification", and do not be confused by some eye-catching means. Only after in-depth investigation and comparison can you really find a quality product that suits your needs.
