IPhone is connected with Super Canton, and the sound quality is also excellent! Comments on "BeatsX headphones" (1Compact 2)

　On February 11th, au teamed up with "Beats by Dr.Dre" (hereinafter referred to as BeatsX headphones) to launch the wireless phone "BeatsX headphones". The price is fourteen thousand eight hundred yen excluding tax. Since the launch of iPhone7, the product in the middle of the popularity of wireless phones has quickly attracted attention from gadgets-loving neighborhoods. I tried that power right away.

Au first launched its "BeatsX headphones" on Feb. 11. The price is 14,800 yen excluding tax.

Unique shape, headphones extend through soft cables

　What is the BeatsX headset, unlike the "AirPods", it is not completely wireless, that is, the so-called ordinary Bluetooth connected headset, this is the first product with Apple's "W1 chip".

　The product packaging is as fashionable as beef. After opening the box, the headphone body and the lower layer will appear four kinds of bundled items such as replacement ear lugs, detachable wingtips, charging cables and so on.

Items in the same bag

　The most important feature of the Bluetooth-connected BeatsX headset is the use of a "Flex-Form" cable with a soft neckband around the neck, as well as the shape of the headset extending from the front.

　The remote control is located in the headphone cable part on the left, and the front end of the silicon part is a power button on the right and a charging part on the left. The charging terminal is a Lightning terminal with a Lightning-USB-A charging cable.

　The headset part is pointed, because the back part is connected with a magnet, so it is an anti-skid material to prevent cable winding.

W1 chip installation pairing is the Cantan of "AirPods stream"

　Immediately try to connect with iPhone, thanks to the W1 chip, just turn on the power, the iPhone7 screen will display "BeatsX", a faucet can complete the connection. Press the headphone power button for one second and the nearby iPhone7 will be recognized immediately.

　Because it's the same thing as AirPods, you won't be surprised if you've used it, but the frustration of skipping the complicated pairing steps is also a place for other companies to learn.

The nearby iPhone7 will automatically identify when it is turned on.

　Take it out after the pairing is over. Before that, let's get in touch with the carrying case. This comes with a silicon box, which is a great idea for the block.

　The Flex-Form cable of the BeatsX headset is soft and when carried, the body will be rolled into a circle and placed in a small accessory carrying box. It's a box, but it's a simple thing that can't be shut up, but it's great that a ball can be stuffed in right away. As an item actually taken outside, if that's the case, I'd like to use it, including boxes.

Comfortable quality and adequate sound quality

　Try to wear BeatsX headphones, first of all, there is a Flex-Form cable around the neck in the form of riding, unexpected no sense of disharmony, feel very comfortable to wear.

　Thick winter clothes, especially in jackets, will overlap on the clothes, so they don't care about existence at all. However, when wearing a T-shirt, there should be a corresponding sense of presence around the neck. If you are looking for stress-free there, use AirPods instead.

The look of wearing BeatsX headphones

The band part of the Flex-Form cable is also more comfortable than expected.

　After wearing BeatsX headphones, I noticed that the sound insulation was quite good. Because it is Carnell type, it is much better than open AirPods in structure, but it is also a good level compared with ordinary Carnell headphones.

　We mentioned noise isolation on the product home page, which is different from noise elimination, only through passive (structural without the use of power supply).

Noise isolation is passive. Accessories can also be adjusted according to the improved sense of installation.

　Next, listen to some music and check the sound quality.

　Listening to RADWIMPS's "past past Life (Movie Ver)", with the scale of a deep sinking beat like Bets, the male lead singer is also thick and can be heard clearly. This is a solid sound with a degree of relaxation, but also leads to the shrill sound of the resonance of the drum.

　Listen to the words of "Tao" by Utada Guang, with the existence of the heavy bass heard in the beat, the high domain will also make a very good sound. The female lead singer has a little echo, so she doesn't appear in front like the male lead singer, but there is no problem in being separated from the music. This is the fate between the original sound source and the original sound source.

　This is basically the voice of users who pursue bass (it is not biased towards the so-called heavy bass type), but it is not compatible with modern lead songs such as J-POP and Anison. As a "10,000 yen or so advanced wireless phone", it is expected to have high sound quality.

　In comparison with AirPods, the subtlety of the sound and the sinking of the bass are better than. The AirPods does not include tax 16, 800 yen, so it is 2000 yen cheaper, the sound quality is better, and there is nothing to complain about as a sound of performance-to-price ratio.
