Logitech UE600vi in-ear moving iron headset evaluation report

Logitech UE600vi headset is a trophy of Soomal in this year's "Double 11" e-commerce promotion. Jingdong.com will cut the price of this original 699 yuan headset to 319 yuan, and then restore the price of 699 yuan. UE600 is divided into UE600vm and UE600vi. The models are suffixed with vi with a line controller and microphone compatible with iOS and iPod [three button remotes], while the vm version comes with a microphone and remote control, and the remote control is a single button, not fully compatible with iOS and iPod.

Select UE600vi this headset in addition to the double 11 special, there are several reasons. First, we have measured Logitech's UE700, it is also a landmark model of the 2008 iron unit in-ear headphones miniaturization, and from the model Looking at its positioning UE600 seems to be lower than the UE700; second, we have talked in several evaluations that the innovative Aurvana In-ear2 headphones are very similar to the UE700, although the UE700 officially represents a dual unit and In -ear2 is a single unit, maybe UE600 also has a certain reference and comparison value, especially after In-ear2 has been reduced to 399 yuan price, UE600vm is also 399 yuan; third, not a reminder of users, we seem to have forgotten UE600 The shape is actually the same as UE Super.Fi5 [abbreviated as SF5, the famous TF10 full name is Triple.Fi10]. It is said that UE600 is the original SF5.SF5 is a UE headset with TF10 at the same time, but SF5 It is the design of a single moving iron unit. To be honest, we didn't notice this at the time of purchase. If you remember, I am afraid I won't buy it. After all, TF10 has no advantage compared with the current headphones. Since it is bought Will take it seriously.

I believe that a headset with the shape of UE600 is the brand of UE. The attractive price of 399 yuan is not worse than the innovation of Aurvana In-Ear2. If UE600 is SF5, then it is a price in 2008-2009. The earphones of about 1000 yuan. The appearance of this earphone is very delicate, and the surface of the plastic case uses an excellent metal bright surface plating process.

UE600's shape design and surface texture are not only very modern, but UE's LOGO can also highlight the brand's image. For the street, even if it is a LOGO on a small earplug area, it is believed that users need to consider when choosing headphones. Very important aspect.

The UE600 style design also takes into account the wearing method of the in-ear earphone, which can be worn by the earphone wire downwards [common wearing method], or the earphone wire can be extended upward and worn around the ear, the two wearing methods are not It will reverse the left and right channels, and the wearing comfort is better. Maybe for ordinary brands, this design is irrelevant, but for UE, it is more interesting. After all, its high-end moving iron headphones will use the ear-worn wear. Way. When this product becomes the entry price of 399 yuan, the wearing style, appearance, and the recognition of the product brand UE will give the product a certain extra point.

UE600vi and UE600vm both provide a wide range of accessories, especially in the aspect of patch cords, providing a 3.5mm four-core to three-three-core inter-connected cable. It is convenient for different designs of notebooks. In addition, a small The plastic storage box still maintains the same configuration as a thousand-yuan product.

If the Logitech UE600 is designed identically to the acoustic part of the SF5 [the same possibility is greater], then the technology of its moving iron speaker unit may be relatively earlier, at least earlier than the speaker unit of the UE700. From the official The same is true for the exploded view of the internal structure provided. On the one hand, the external dimensions of the UE600 are set according to the size of the moving iron unit. The volume of this single unit is obviously larger. This is indeed the moving iron earphone of the SF5, TF10 period. It is similar.

In fact, we are particularly expecting that Logitech can simplify the UE900, retain the unit responsible for high-pitched sound, and introduce lower-priced products. We once thought that the UE600 might be such a product. Of course, after the above analysis, it is not the case. In order to better test this headset, we have over 200 hours of headset down. As a moving iron unit, the downtime also has a certain effect. From the sense of hearing, it seems to make the high frequency slightly softer, but with the headset The dynamic headphone headset is a little smaller. The test source is still based on portable devices, including iPod Classic, vivo Xplay, iPhone 5 and iPad Air. The test comparison is aimed at the innovative Aurvana In-ear2. It is not only a good comparison object at the same price, but also can be used as a voice substitute for UE700.

High-frequency performance: Since we have not heard of SF5, we can't determine whether UE600 is completely the same as SF5. The sound of UE600 is not quite the same as that of the era of moving iron headphones. The high-frequency resolution of UE600 is not as good as In-ear2. Exquisite, this difference is also a big change. It is also the change brought by the unit of UE700 and In-ear2 that Soomal has been talking about when measuring the moving iron earphone. However, UE600 does not have a particularly obvious "iron piece flavor", some similar TF10, UE600's high-frequency extension is not very good, it seems to deliberately do the attenuation of high-frequency processing. However, UE600 is a very easy to drive headphones, even easier to drive than In-ear2 to get better Dynamic.

UE600 will not be as rigid as TF10, high frequency is more open than TF10, the whole high frequency appears to be stretched, but there are some slightly blunt "moving iron flavor" in the details. The UE600 sound is relatively compared. Open, significantly better than the dynamics of In-ear2, the density of the mid-high frequency part is relatively better, the sound is stronger, and the In-ear2 shows a completely different style, and seems to be closer to the TF10, but it has to It's a lot looser than the TF10. What's rare is that even with the neutrality of the iPod Classic and iPhone5, and even the high-frequency sound source, the UE600 still maintains a good sound level, and there is no particular sharpness or burr.

IF performance: UE600's IF should be the advantage of the old moving iron, but we think that in the earlier period of moving iron headphones used by Soomal, UE600's IF processing is good, especially with TF10. UE600's intermediate frequency is obviously More full than In-ear2, the sound style is neutral, but it is soft, and the lower distortion of the moving iron unit ensures that it is very balanced in the medium and high frequency in the larger dynamic. The performance of the vocals is relatively strong. The image is better, the resolution is weaker than In-ear2, and the dynamics are better than In-ear2.

Overall, the mid-range of In-ear2 is more beautiful, and the mid-high frequency part has a good detail, especially like a dynamic earphone, but its sound is like its figure, it is difficult to show big scenes, which is very different. The traditional moving iron earphone features. The medium frequency of the UE600 not only has good sound dynamics, but also is more balanced, and it can withstand high sound pressure in great dynamics, has better transients, and the sound level is clear and guaranteed. What is rare is that it It is more open than the TF10 sound, it is easier to have a good performance on the portable sound source, and the sound is more slack. The disadvantage is that the resolution is slightly worse, and the low-frequency part is slightly rigid.

Low-frequency performance: similar to the IF performance sound style, the UE600's low frequency still shows the characteristics of the traditional moving iron earphones, can withstand the loud sound pressure, and the shocking effect and movement in the small earplugs can be obtained under the condition that the quality of the portable sound source is guaranteed. The iron earphones excel in good transient detail. From the details, its low frequency details are obviously not as rich as VSD1 or W4R headphones, and even in its low frequency you can occasionally hear some iron smell - the kind is very The details of dynamic and control lack a very special sound texture. However, compared with In-ear2, it is another style, In-ear2 is obviously green, and UE600 is more balanced, neutral, and even somewhat imposing.

Soomal has always disliked what we call the "old moving iron" taste, because the Etymotic ER4, UE TF10 and even the innovative In-ear generation, etc.. Overall, the overall resolution of the moving iron headphones during that period, but Has always had a good transient control, if the designer is willing, it can be made into the style of ER4, a sound with little distortion but no detail. And UE600 is indeed close to the TF10 style, as a single The unit product, the UE600 sound with two woofer units is more slack and open, not as rigid and too thick as the TF10. The UE600 has also become very easy to drive, and it can get good dynamics on portable audio sources. Slightly better than In-ear2.

The overall sense of UE600's overall sense of hearing is somewhat inadequate, but the mid-range stretch style, full sound, IF and high-frequency balanced connection, low-frequency transient performance, let this headset perform and In-ear2 [with UE700 More than the same] each has its own characteristics. UE600vm and UE600vi sound performance is believed to be no big difference, their online control function is different, the price is different by 300 yuan.
