The weather is warmer, and outdoor sports can finally be restarted, and it is quite pleasant to listen to songs and run alone in the spring breeze. In the past, I used to use in-ear wireless Bluetooth headsets, not to mention the uncomfortable sweating, and it was uncomfortable to wear my ears for a long time, and I saw that many people have started with open Bluetooth headsets in the past two years, and I feel that this kind of product is not only very mature now, but also has a lot of styles to choose from, so I didn't hold back, and started this new open Bluetooth headset launched by the Edifier - Edifier Comfo Solo, let's share my experience.
appearance
The Comfo Solo has three colors to choose from this time: Sky Black, Moon White, and Turquoise Blue, which is one more blue than the Comfo Fit II, which is the color I started. As a split true wireless Bluetooth earphone, the Edifier Comfo Solo is still the design of the storage box + earphones, unlike the kind of integrated earphones that hang around the neck that are not easy to store, but the storage box is larger than the ordinary in-ear headphones used before.
The first time I bought this kind of over-ear open bluetooth headset, the size of the Edifier Comfo solo headphones is still relatively small, most of the weight of the headphones is at the end of the head and tail, and the middle part is relatively slender, which is easy to wear, and it can be regarded as a relatively mature ergonomic design.
Compared with traditional in-ear headphones, which need to be matched with different sizes of rubber sleeves to allow users to adjust the wearing comfort, although the Edifier Comfo Solo is an open design, it can also be customized by adjusting the angle of the earhook, and the "filament" in the middle of the earphone is a 0.8mm nitinol high-elastic memory wire, which can be adjusted according to your ear shape when wearing.
The main material of the earphone shell is food-grade liquid silicone, which is soft and skin-friendly. The unit part is made of hard plastic, but the color of the two parts of the material is still the same, and it looks like it is integrated, and I still like this color very much.
The unit is still very different from ordinary in-ear headphones, and the headphone unit part adopts a dual sound outlet design, one near the cochlear side and the other on the rear side.
At the same time, as a noise-canceling headphone, the left and right units of the Edifier Comfo Solo are dual-Mic configurations, and the background noise can be actively filtered out with the blessing of the algorithm, whether you are listening to music or making a phone call, you don't have to worry about the impact of environmental noise.
The Edifier Comfo Solo earphones themselves do not have physical buttons, and they can be operated by touch through the touch area at the LOGO, which is still very easy to grasp when actually used.
In terms of weight, each ear weighs about 10.2g, which is slightly heavier than ordinary in-ear Bluetooth headphones, but it is very light in open-ear headphones, and the weight of the over-ear design is very easy to wear.
The appearance of the storage box is designed in the same color as the earphones, the top LOGO area highlights the acrylic finish, and the opening and closing are also designed with LED light strips that can be set in 8 different colors, whether it is the storage box or the earphone body, the Edifier Comfo Solo is exquisite enough.
In terms of battery life, the Comfo Solo earbuds officially announced that the battery life is 10.5 hours per time, and it can reach 42 hours with the charging case.
Wearing experience
With small eyes and large pierced ears, and glasses, it was difficult to find headphones that could be worn comfortably for a long time, whether it was headphones or in-ear earbuds. I was really surprised to wear the Comfo Solo for the first time, except for a little presence on the pinna, it was very easy to wear and I didn't feel uncomfortable wearing it for most of the day.
Don't think that the 0.8mm nitinol is very thin and soft, in fact, the filament part of the Comfo Solo earphone is still very tough, when you use it, adjust it according to the size of your ear for the first time, and it will not be easy to deform when you use it later, you don't need to adjust it often, if you wear it as often as I do, you can adjust it a little tighter, and it won't fall off at all when running.
Look at this wearing effect, it is really stable, and it will not fall off if you shake your head wildly, whether it is running or skipping rope, there is no problem, let alone daily use.
User experience
Since it is a headphone,The sound quality is naturally inseparable from the topic,EdifierComfo Solo can be said to be full in acoustic configuration this time,Unique anti-leakage structure design,With a custom-made high driver unit,Support LDAC decoding,It has also obtained the Hi-Res small gold standard certification,And Comfo SoloThe left and right ears have built-in independent spatial audio chips,With the dual sound outlets on the headphone unit,In terms of spatial audio technology, it can bring a very real immersive experience。
Anyone who plays audio knows the importance of unit size for acoustic quality. Compared with in-ear Bluetooth headphones, the unit of this kind of open headset is much larger, and Comfo Solo uses an 18*11mm runway type unit, plus the wide-frequency strong magnetic composite high driver unit used by Comfo Solo, the frequency response range is wider, plus PU+ fiber paper diaphragm, the performance is much better in terms of three-frequency details and sound ductility.
However, when used outdoors,Due to the influence of ambient background noise,The sound quality experience will still be affected,If you want to fully experience the sound quality of the EdifierComfo Solo,You have to be in a relatively quiet place,In general, the EdifierComfo Solo is very durable,The sound tuning is biased towards balance,The dynamic low frequency enhancement algorithm gives me a stronger low frequency。
Comfo Solo's spatial audio experience is still very good,6Axis spatial audio combined with unique head tracking technology,You can clearly experience the real three-dimensional surround space sense in the auditory experience,Whether it's watching a movie or listening to music,As if you're in a 7.1Stereo home theater environment,Play games can listen to the sound and identify the position,Don't miss any wind and grass,At the same time,Edifier's spatial audio belongs to self-developed technology,Only through multi-channel sound sources can achieve spatial audio effects,The sense of presence of watching action movies or concerts will be stronger,And you don't need to spend a penny more,You can get this kind of experience。
By the way, this headset also has ultra-low latency, with only 0.08s of delay in game mode, and it's still very cool to play some chicken games.
In addition, the "disadvantage" of open-back headphones that cannot isolate background sound is an advantage for friends who like outdoor sports, and when wearing the Comfo Solo for exercise, whether it is the sound of the horn of the passing vehicle or the voice of the companion, it will not be missed, which can be a good way to prevent unexpected dangerous situations.
The measured battery life performance is also very powerful, combined with my usage habits, I only need to charge it once a week, and I can charge it as I go, the earphones can be used for 3 hours after charging for 15 minutes, and I have hardly encountered the time when the battery life of the earphones is reminded.
summary
After a period of experience, the experience of using the Edifier Comfo Solo is still very good: it is comfortable to wear, it will not damage your hearing for a long time, and the sound quality is much better than that of bone conduction headphones. It can be said that whether it is used at home or out for sports, the Edifier Comfo Solo can fully meet the needs of all scenarios.
