Hello everyone, I'm Neo!
First of all, we must say that AKG, as a traditional headphone brand, does have many classic products.
Which K420 is a classic high-cost headphones. I also recommend a lot of friends to start with, is a good headset at a hundred yuan price.
However, after all, subject to cost control, the K420 cannot compare with higher-end products. There are several fatal injuries:
Chuck! Especially clip glasses, it is no solution.
Leakage! At noon everyone was in the lunch break. The sound leakage problem was particularly serious and disturbing.
Cheap sense , this is no way, itself is cheap headphones.
In addition, now that computers and mobile phones have Bluetooth and wireless Bluetooth connections , it is really useful for Neo who jumps from the workstation to discuss issues with colleagues.
After searching and researching, Neo took into consideration the protection of hearing and still needed to hear leaders and colleagues summon the call. Therefore, he chose not to choose the traditional earbuds and now the most popular in-ear sports earphones. Instead, he continued to stay in the big earphone circle. However, large headphones are also divided into "ear-pressure" and "ear-type" two. The advantages of pressure ear style are generally relatively small, and often can also be folded, whether it is storage or carrying are more convenient; the corresponding ear-type is the largest headset, the best package, but it may lead to too hot summer.
After several searches, Neo continued to choose the AKG product, which is today's protagonist Y45BT (Y45 for short). The real reason is nothing more than that: Headphones are really ugly. ! !
II. Design
The design of the Y45 is relatively simple. It once won the red dot award in 2014. However, this red dot is now seen by many people.
However, compared with the K420, the appearance of the actual texture has been improved a lot. And Bluetooth does not need to insert the line, the visual is also relatively refreshing.
The switch key and the headphone connector are on the right, which is more suitable for the right-handed friend. It is also very easy to carry it afterwards.
Slightly higher volume control button.
From this point of view, it can be more obvious that the Y45 looks like two small buns, much higher than the K420.
The improvement of texture and design sense is very obvious.
In the head section, the Y45's rubber package is more comprehensive, while the K420 only has a soft rubber air cushion at the top of the head.
Headphone opening and closing scale, Y45's all-metal + digital scale, is also better than K420's plastic + no digital scale.
The ear pad part, K420 is a thin two big sponge, and Y45 with a leather material, touch and appearance are even better.
Warning! ! ! Soul painting hands out! !
Although both earphones are of the ear type, they are still quite different. details as follows:
The K420 on the left are two large and flat earcups that hold the head directly. This leads to a friend who wears glasses. He will find that the earphones and ears are tightly pressed on the scalp. There will be pain.
The Y45 on the right is two relatively round and high earmuffs, so after the head is clamped, it basically covers only the ear part and will not affect the wearing of the glasses . This is worthy of consideration for the value-friends who wear glasses.
III. Comparison of sound quality & summary This time, the sound quality contrasts are mainly divided into three groups, namely Y45 Bluetooth mode; Y45 wired mode and K420 wired mode. Please check out Neo's captive audition bear: Big! White! Bear!
Bluetooth connection to mobile phones and computers is very simple, not detailed, and measured Android phones can also display power.
In terms of tracks, Neo has chosen to listen to pop music more often than usual. For example:
Xue Zhiqian's Actor
Lin Junjie & Deng Ziqi's "The Rose of the Palm"
and many more. Summarized as follows:
Y45BT Bluetooth : The noise is more noticeable in a quiet environment and when the music stops. The chuck is medium and the sound quality is 70 points.
Y45BT connection : The noise floor disappeared. The chuck sense is still medium, and the sound quality is obviously improved. It can reach 85 minutes.
K420 connection : there is no noise at the end, the chuck feels better than the Y45BT, but the sense of the clip glasses is much stronger, the sound quality is about 80 minutes, more transparent, but the sound insulation and package are also worse.
In other words, Y45BT in Bluetooth mode, in addition to no glasses, appearance texture enhancement, the sound quality is not as good as the much lower price of K420; and if you use the cable mode, it seems to have lost the Y45 Bluetooth headset's biggest feature. Although this conclusion is somewhat regrettable, considering the loss of Bluetooth sound quality and the African slang phrase “ Bluetooth, not HiFi â€, everything is justified.
But Bluetooth is really cool! After setting up the automatic connection is also very convenient, feel free to no more trembling and careful. If value-friends want to buy a non-sports Bluetooth headset, the good price of 500~600 AKG Y45BT is a good choice, but if there is no enough psychological expectation of Bluetooth sound quality, it will not reach the hand A bit disappointed.
Between gains and losses, it depends on how the valued friends choose! thanks for watching!
