qdc should be one of the toughest domestic audio brands, because the slogan on the packaging is "Star's Choice", as a brand from professional acoustics and recording studios, qdc's products have many professional users, including many singers and singers. (The official website has a list of star users)
Of course, the price of the product is also quite expensive, and the main products are basically four digits and five figures. So when qdc released this Dmic Solo (hereinafter referred to as Solo), we were all joking, don't 1088, don't 998, just 988...

Packaging & Accessories
The unboxing section allows you to watch my previous videos, immersive dynamic unboxing, better looking and feeling with headphones, and 3D head microphone recording, comparable to spatial audio. Connect https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1XL4y1i7F5/
Solo's appearance is very high, 3D printed resin shell, the material is skin-friendly, the weight is very light, and it is comfortable to wear.
The standard cable is named Solo DM, the wire base is pure copper silver plating, the plug is replaceable design, the standard 2.5/3.5/4.4 three kinds of plugs, the hardware is made of metal, and the earbud end is a 0.78mm double-pin interface, which is convenient for users to upgrade and toss.
Acoustics and sound performance
qdc's Dmic dynamic earbuds are currently two models, one is the three-dynamic Dmic 3D, and the other is the Dmic Solo. But when it comes to acoustic structure, I personally prefer single motion, because I like Senhai's acoustic philosophy of less, even more.
Solo uses a micro-dynamic unit, officially called "the use of Dmagic Turbo image virtual boost acoustic patented technology", in order to achieve "the micro-dynamic details of the micro-dynamic circle can reach the surging low frequency of the large-caliber dynamic coil".
Judging from the results, Solo has indeed reached the original intention of this design, low-frequency surging and full of power, and details and micro-dynamics are not missing, and the overall performance can be called leapfrogging.
At first listening, you can obviously perceive that solo tuning is quite standard, especially low frequencies and very low frequencies, there is an abundant sense of volume to support the sense of atmosphere, not boring, the level is obvious, for the rhythm of the strong demand for the repertoire, such as R&B and House music, has a very good expressiveness and appeal, this low-frequency performance is low-end moving iron headphones can rarely be restored, in the same price dynamic circle and loop iron headphones is also a benchmark-level tuning processing, enthusiastic and full, but will not interfere with the middle and high frequencies. The only drawback is that in the music of the big scene, the low-frequency density sense will be a bit weak, of course, this is also a cross-level requirement.
The processing of the mid-frequency part continues the qdc style, neutrality-oriented, fine-tuning, detailed sound reduction is rich, and the staining is very small, because qdc is after all a brand that does ear return home, and its sound is more or less monitored with a bit of monitoring style, especially the vocal part, so qdc headphones are very reliable for the pan-pop direction, not too much rendering, more inclined to show the singer's own strength.
High frequency and very high frequency, ductility and brightness are good, the sense of volume is slightly less, the solo of instruments such as violin and flute is OK, but it is easy to be ignored in the large repertoire, of course, this is normal, as a pan-pop tuning headphones, sacrificing a little high frequency sense of volume is also necessary, after all, to highlight the expression of the intermediate and low frequency parts.
Soundstage and detail restoration, but also to show solo's ability to leapfrog the level, but need to cooperate with their own high amount of information and good driving force of the front end, to W2 and SP2000T as an example, its sound field is large and round, the sense of encirclement is very good, the vocal center, the instrument on the side, the distance and spatial position are very obvious, the junction is also relatively clear, and the micro-dynamic restoration is also very good.
PS: This audition front end for SP2000T and small tail W2, qdc Solo DM cable, 4.4mm plug, and the use of M17 and SP2000T alternating cooker 100 hours +, in view of the dynamic headphones need a certain pot cycle, so hereby declared.
summary
Because it is impossible to quantify the sense of hearing, so I can only use my personal experience to say that Solo's hearing and quality are rare at the same price, especially the tuning part, loyal to the original taste at the same time, but also with a certain fine tuning, not too restrained, but also not ostentatious, belongs to the flavor, listening and suitable for a long time to listen to the style, the tuning veteran within the thousand yuan level, the dimensionality reduction blow of the star's choice.
