Summary: The most underrated "national tide" brand this year?
To be honest, "Guochao" has always been a word that I love and hate.
In the past few years, it seems that if you stick the logo with the words Song on the outside of the package, and then get a few ancient Chinese buildings as patterns, you can frankly say that you are a "national tide" brand, and if you change the face cream to retro packaging, you can become an Internet celebrity store in the middle of the Bund Road in Shanghai; Ice cream can be sold at a high price if you use the word "old"; It seems that the word "national tide" has become the growth hormone of leeks. This makes me, who has a very good impression of the national tide, and at the same time often pays attention to this emerging field, which is really angry.
It is recommended that these brands pay attention to the fashion circle.
There is a brand that I believe everyone is familiar with, that is, Jiangnan Buyi.
If you put aside the background of the listing, this Chinese brand with a history of 30 years is completely a representative of "national tide", note that there are still some differences between "national tide" and "domestic products".
Guochao is an understanding of traditional Chinese cultural concepts.
For example, Jiangnan Buyi integrates elements of nature in its design, such as branches, leaves, flowers and plants, etc., which symbolize nature and vitality, echoing the concept of advocating nature in traditional Chinese culture; In terms of material selection, fabrics made of natural fibers such as silk, linen, cotton, and wool are used, which can reflect the pursuit of comfort and natural beauty in traditional clothing; In terms of design, it also adopts a loose and casual cut, which is free and easy, and adapts to the needs of modern people for comfortable wear. The color tends to be plain and elegant, which is in line with the concept of "indifferent and bright" in traditional Chinese aesthetics, and has a sense of freshness and refinement.
Of course, this is also inseparable from their brand, which advocates a natural, harmonious and poetic lifestyle.
Integrating traditional cultural concepts into products, maintaining a certain restrained distance from consumers, and achieving both "true self" and "self", this is the highest level of national tide cultural development.
- 200元真旗舰，竹林鸟青鸾Z4
The bamboo bird is like the golden-breasted song robin in the forest, which is unique to China, although the body is robust, but the upper body of the bluestone slate gray is connected with wings, coupled with the bright orange logo that extends to the neck, light and vibrant.
It rarely appears at various headphone exhibitions, but with the advantage of good quality and good price, it has already gained a firm foothold in the 100-yuan entry HiFi market.
From less than 100 yuan, the all-metal aviation aluminum is used to make Bailing; In the early 100s, it adopts a double moving coil and has a natural rough texture; In addition, it also brought OWS headphones that are only in their early 100s, and this price is also very explosive in the industry.
The Z4 Qingluan (hereinafter referred to as Qingluan), which is more than 200 yuan in his hand, is the current flagship of the bamboo forest bird. If you put aside the price, whether it is the huge outer packaging with the national style design, or the internal exquisite manual, the warranty card placement and opening method, and then to the use of mature technology processing and the perfect combination of the oriental curve zinc alloy cavity, to overcome the rigid with softness, the logo is the finishing touch, and the surface arc of the cavity complements each other, the external magnetic dual cavity 10mm moving coil unit can eliminate excess high-frequency standing waves, enhance the design guidance structure of the low-frequency dynamic, so that this headset has exceeded the price limit from the outside to the inside, which in turn gives a deeper value.
And this deep value is how to form a unique sound characteristic.
In fact, the configuration of Bamboo Forest Bird Qingluan in this price range has been given "very sufficient", for example, the use of diamond-like diaphragm in the unit, with high rigidity characteristics, with the big black voice coil can bring high stroke, can drive a good unit, and with double cavity and special cavity design, as well as high-purity silver-plated wire, you can ensure the quality of the sound floor, of course, in the price of Qingluan added a replaceable sound guide tube, and equipped with three pairs of different models of silicone sleeve, but also increased playability, can match their favorite sound.
But let's talk a little more about the collocation,This time it's with a transparent sound tube with a bamboo rhyme silicone sleeve,If you feel that the low-frequency volume is not enough, you can adjust it through the equalization set,Other qualities have not changed much,If you like a little more sound,You can replace the red conduit,At this time, the whole will be more inclined to the upper plate,The high-frequency extension of the air will be better。
This leather protection bag is very textured
The sound part is because it's "Extras",So it's a little bit of a style.,To combine several players to talk about.。
- A couple of nice combinations
First of all, let's talk about the relatively "entry-level" set, which is also my current business trip commuter suit, and the ONIX Alpha small tail is directly connected to the iPhone. At the time of writing, ONIX has launched an upgraded recording line, so in the follow-up video, it will be paired with the upgrade line, and here it will be paired with the original line. After more than 50 hours of burning, Qingluan is not completely charming, but focuses on the quality and timbre of the two-layer characteristic, which is rare in the price of 200 hundred yuan, because many stoppers at this price are completely at the expense of timbre, highlighting the quality, and Qingluan can try to balance the trade-offs is indeed not ordinary.
Under this set of collocation, Qingluan is decent in low-frequency performance, elasticity is better than volume, emphasizing speed and rebound strength, although the amount is not large, but there is still a good atmosphere of the lower disk, so that the entire frequency band is not thin and light. In terms of mid-frequency and high-frequency performance, I personally think it is better than low frequency, the sound image is not close to the ear, nor far away from the lack of intimacy, the position is just right, whether it is a male or female voice, the mouth shape is moderate, and the sense of line is slightly obvious, but fortunately, a certain sense of charm makes the voice full and natural, not shriveled; Instrumental separation is excellent, with excellent extension and a certain sense of air, but the overall sound image is a little forward-leaning, which makes the entire lateral soundstage feel slightly oppressive.
This set of performance is actually good enough, but in terms of details, it is still because the front-end is rougher, so it is recommended to go directly to the portable player.
As long as it is on the player, whether it is a mid-range like Astell&Kern's ACTIVO P1 or a flagship like Haibei R8 II generation, the sound has been qualitatively improved compared to the small tail.
First of all, there has been a considerable improvement in the low frequency, both in terms of volume and depth. In terms of dynamics,Even in ACTIVO P1, it can be perceived obviously,The drum sound at this time is rhythmic、The changes are turbulent and obvious,It is not flat and sluggish,In addition, in terms of transients,With a front end like BeiR8The second generation that pays more attention to the performance of the lower plate,The speed will be faster,But there is still no sacrifice of volume and elasticity; There is not much change in the midrange, whether it is a small tail or a flagship, the vocals are a highlight of this earbud, and it is universal, and it can perform well without picking the genre; The main change of high frequency is in the control, there will still be some "floating" in the connection with the small tail, and after replacing the player, first of all, the texture and density of the instrumental music have been improved, plus the overall sound image has moved back a little, so that the whole is not too close to the ear, the extension and overtones do not change much, the instrumental music has a certain sense of luster, but I feel a little weak, the reverberation and reverberation are a little too clean, and the high frequency lacks a certain tone, in addition, the horizontal sound field is looser, but there is still a sense of marginality, and the longitudinal change is not large, So I'd recommend listening to the vocals, which are capable of small pieces in terms of instrumental music, which is not common in the early 200s earbuds.
- brief summary
In fact, for a 200 yuan into the ear, after unboxing, the impression of the sound quality part is far beyond the appearance of such a "surface sense", of course, the only deficiency is that the overall cavity still has a certain weight, which needs to be adjusted when wearing, but after adjustment, you can wear it for a long time without feeling tired.
The sound of the current flagship Qingluan of the bamboo forest bird has obvious style characteristics, after the matching, the two ends are extended but not abrupt, the vocal rhyme is in place and clean and natural, the pursuit of dynamic transient changes but the control is just right, from the Qingluan can feel the traditional temperament of Zhang He has a degree and knows how to restrain himself, I think this is the understanding of the bamboo forest bird for the "national tide".
