国际知名有音乐制作人David Kellogg对1MORE双单元、三单元圈铁耳机的热评,这两款耳机以酷炫的外观、纯净的音质打动人心!

 



111___________________________________________________________________________

The sonic quality of 1More’s Dual Driverand Triple Driver in-ear monitors came as an utter surprise in a market wherehigh-end multi-driver in-ear monitors have generally cost $800 and up. Recentcompetition in a growing market where consumers are beginning to demand thesound quality pros and audiophiles have demanded for years has brought downprices, but not this far, and not this good.


1MORE双单元和三单元入耳式圈铁耳机的音质对于现有的耳机市场来说完全是一个大惊喜,因为高端的多单元入耳式耳机通常来说都要卖到800美元或更贵。随着普通消费者逐步开始对高品音质有所要求、发烧友长年以来对好音质孜孜以求,以及耳机市场不断拓展,竞争日益激烈,这些都令耳机价格逐步降低,但程度上来说价格降得还不够多、与价格相对应的音质还不够好。

Shure’s E500’s and UE’s Triple.fi 10’s aretwo examples of offering pro quality earphones at a lower cost. They retailrespectively at $499 and $399. Here comes the boom, and not the fake boom cheapearphones give you… 1More’s triple drivers retail at $99. That’s less than 1/3the cost of any other triple driver I’m aware of on the market.


舒尔E500UE TF10是两个高品质、价格相对稍低的例子,它们的零售价分别为499美元和399美元。但现在来了一个惊雷(不是廉价耳机带来的闷响)——1MORE三单元圈铁耳机,零售价仅99美元!这价格与其它市面上的三单元耳机相比,连1/3都不到。

Free market competition is a consumer’sdream, but this is a nightmare for the competitors. I have spent ample timeusing Shure’s E500 and UE’s Triple.fi 10’s, along with Audio Technica’s,Sony’s, and Sennhieser’s as in-ear reference monitors in various studios.1More’s are simply better. They look better, they feel better, they fit better,they sound better, and they are remarkably more affordable. It’s not clear ifthey managed this “knock out blow” price because everything they make is fromthe ground up or if the competition has been obscenely padding theirmanufacturing costs under the false flag of “been around” branding.


自由的市场竞争是消费者的梦想,但却是竞争商家的噩梦。在不同的录音室内,我大多数时间都用舒尔E500UE TF10,间或使用铁三角、索尼和森海塞尔入耳式监听耳机。1MORE的耳机的确更好——外观看着更好,摸着质感更好,佩戴更舒适,听起来声音表现也更好,并且值得一提的是它们价格更合理。我不清楚,究竟是1MORE做得够彻底,彻底到连价格都要颠覆市场?还是其它竞争品牌打着存在感的虚伪大旗,无耻地把制造成本垫高了?

My instincts tell me it’s both. I don’tthink 1More is joining this game to please audio professionals, though theywill. I think they clearly want everyone to hear what the pros hear, and moreimportantly to hear what artists and producers intended their fans to hear.These earphones are game changers and the fans win. It will actually be harderfor me to convince my artist and producer friends to listen simply because ofthe low price point, but when they do I’m sure they’ll feel the same way. Ican’t wait to see Lenny Kravitz’s expression when he’s listening to his latestmix on these while I write $99 on his lyric pad.


直觉告诉我以上两者皆有。我认为1MORE不会用传统耳机品牌的做法去取悦专业音频人士,即使它能这么做。我想1MORE就是想让每个人听到专业人士听到的声音,更重要的是专业歌手、音乐人想传达给他们的听众和粉丝的音乐与情感。1MORE耳机的出现改写了现有耳机市场的“游戏规则,让粉丝说了算。当然,要让我去说服我的歌手、音乐制作人朋友试听这耳机显然很难,因为价格真的不贵;但等到他们真的听了,我确信他们和我的感受是一样的。我等不及想让Lenny Kravitz用这耳机听他最新的混音作品,想看看当我把99美元的价格写在他的歌词本上时,他会是什么样的表情!

Out of the box, the packaging is consistentwith $500 plus headphones and the design is equally elegant. Zen minimalism,modern, compact, and sexy are words that come to mind. The forged aluminumalloy casing, with a black and brushed gold color scheme, looks sleek and isextremely lightweight. The multiple ear tip sizes, five silicon and three foam,ensure the user will find their favorite comfort and sonic fit. The foam soundsa bit brighter, and the silicon adds a bit more bass. The braided black wrappedKevlar core cable is extremely strong (tug tested), but it’s as thin as yourstandard headphone cable. The dual system intelligent controls and high qualityMEMS microphone are independently wired to eliminate crosstalk and are fullycompatible with Apple and Android. I used the controls for volume control,track switching, and answering calls on an iPhone6 and a Galaxy G5. Everythingworks great and voices are extremely clear on both ends for calls. Even thedurable magnetic latching traveling case is smart.


再来看,整个包装与这款500多美元的耳机相匹配,设计也是非常考究和精致。我脑海里涌现出来一堆描述的字眼:“日式极简主义”、“现代感”、“紧凑”、“性感”。铝合金锻造的耳机外壳采用了钛黑色与拉丝金配色,看起来极为光滑、轻盈。多款尺寸耳塞套,五副硅胶耳套与三副泡棉耳套,确保使用者佩戴更舒适,并实现更好的聆听体验。用泡棉耳套听起来声音会较明亮些,用硅胶耳套则会带低音效果更强些。耳机线用了编织线的形式,内部包裹了高强度的凯夫拉抗拉纤维(经过拉力测试),却又和常见的耳机线一样细巧。双系统智能线控与MEMS麦克风,独立声道设计,有效减少了通话串扰,并可适配操控苹果与安卓系统手机。我在iPhone6Galaxy G5试过,手机上线控可满足音量控制、音乐选曲以及接听电话,一切顺畅,接听和拨打电话的音质也都十分清晰。甚至是磁吸耳机便携盒都很精巧。

Let’s talk sound. Comparing broad marketpriced in-ear headphones to professionally priced in-ear headphones might seemodd, but that’s how good these headphones are. Comparatively, Shure’s E500’sare generally bass heavy with an obvious high end roll off. That works formonitoring drums on stage, but it’s not how music is supposed to be heard. Onthe other end, UE’s Triple.fi 10’s are treble heavy, in fact a bit tinny.Generally, Ur Beats, Bose, and Sony’s in-ears are extremely bass heavy, whereasSennheiser’s and Audio Technica’s tend to be tinny. AKG’s tend to be both bassboosted and treble heavy with lacking mids. One can’t completely make sweepingjudgments because these companies all offer various models, but one thing noneof the competitors offer is a flat balanced frequency response headphone that’striple-driver accurate and pleasing to the ear, not to mention this affordable.I’ve looked at 1MORE’S spectrum analysis chart and it splays like the horizonover a calm ocean of sound. At most, there’s a gentle and desirable slope tocompensate for the Fletcher-Munson curve, the natural way your ears perceivesound. If you saw the slope AKG and other headphones have you could ski blackdiamonds from the bass end to the high end. If you saw Ur Beat’s you would haveto “bass” jump.


让我们来谈谈音质。要在主流市场定价与专业定价的耳机之间进行对比,好像有点奇怪,但这就是“1MORE耳机好在哪儿”的原因。相比而言,舒尔E500基本上就是重低音加上明显的高端范儿,这种声音风格对舞台监听级的鼓声十分奏效,但用来听音乐旋律就不行了。另一方面,UE TF10是低音相当重,重得有一点乏味。通常来说,UrBeatsBose和索尼入耳式耳机的低音都比较重,而森海塞尔和铁三角则是低音偏轻的风格。不同的耳机具有不同的风格,因此我们不能做出完整且彻底的评价,但有一个共同点——这些品牌耳机都不具备平坦、均衡的频响,但都是多单元圈铁结构,反应精准且听感悦耳。我看了1MORE耳机的频谱分析图,它平缓延展开来,像地平线跨于宁静的海平面之上。图中曲线下滑部分的走势呈现出令人满意的顺滑“斜坡”用以抵消“弗莱彻·芒森曲线(即等响曲线)”。假如你看过AKG和其它耳机的曲线图,低频端到高频端顺滑得像可以滑雪橇;假如你看过UrBeats耳机的斜坡图,低频部分隆起一大块,“滑雪橇”的话估计得奋力跳过去了。

 

171___________________________________________________________________________

When other headphone manufactures haveattempted to create flat frequency response in-ear monitors they generally endup with unforgiving upper mids. 1MORE solves this problem with subtle soundshaping instead of harsh cuts and boosts. They hired Grammy award winning sounddesigner and producer Luca Bignardi to precisely implement this balance ofsonic accuracy and appeal. As far as I’m concerned, he painted the soundresponse for these headphones as Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Iwant to meet this guy, but for now, listening through “his” ears will beenough.


当其它耳机厂商尝试做出频响平坦的入耳式监听耳机,通常会以无法原谅的中频宣告失败。1MORE以精细的声音形态取代了粗糙的削减和增强,把这个问题解决了。同时,1MORE邀请了获得格莱美奖的音乐大师Luca Bignardi来精准把控音质精细度和音乐感染力之间的平衡。就我目前所能感受到的,Luca让这些耳机“绘声绘色”起来,就像米开朗基罗绘出的西斯廷教堂天顶的恢弘壁画。有机会的话,我想认识Luca,但目前听听他的“耳朵”也足够了。

 

181___________________________________________________________________________

Balancedfrequency response is better for listening and is better for you. The best wayto express the physical and psychoacoustic benefits of 1MORE’S flat frequencyresponse headphones is that they greatly reduce ear fatigue and thereforehearing damage. I’ve experienced this on a personal level since these are mynew in-ear reference monitors. Bass is felt as much as it’s heard. It's moreeffectively represented by 1MORE’S ergonomic angled snug fit than how otherheadphones unnaturally boost low end. Such boosting creates ear fatigue andultimately hearing damage. It also causes the listener to increase volume inorder to seek out overwhelmed upper frequencies, particularly to hear vocalsand what audiophiles call sizzle, the silky highs that make you feel likeyou’re right there.


均衡的频响表现不仅仅是听起来更悦耳,对人耳来说也更健康。提到平坦的频响曲线对于客观和主观声学的好处有一个例子:它大大减少了人耳疲劳乃至听力损伤。低音听起来没那么重。比起其他耳机硬生生地加重低频,1MORE佩戴舒适的人体工学设计能更有效地呈现低音表现。不自然的重低音将使耳朵产生疲劳,最终导致听力损伤。由于低音过重,高频细节受到抑制,为了听清高频细节,耳机使用者将加大音量。尤其是人声中被发烧友称之为气音的嘶嘶声,因为他们认为耳机能听见丝一般纤细的声响才能被称作“好耳机”。

 

191___________________________________________________________________________

Thisexplains the nearly religious experience I had listening to 1MORE’S tripledrivers for the first time. Having dedicated low end and midrange drivers withdual balanced high end armatures equals clarity and spaciousness. I thought Iwas listening in my own control room. It’s something I call transparency, wherethere is nothing between the music and your ears. For that is the goal of anygreat technology… to disappear.


这就是为什么我第一次听1MORE耳机时有了那种近乎虔诚的感受——我感觉像是在一个高端音控室或是音乐厅里。我体会到了那种叫做通透感的东西,在音乐和耳朵之间别无他物。因为那正是任何伟大科技的目标——消失,并与产品融为一体。


 

1101___________________________________________________________________________

Inaddition, with other headphones, the ear actually develops tolerance to overlyboosted bass, which quickly cancels out the unnatural benefits of saidboosting. In fact, natural frequency response headphones like 1MORE'S will givethe listener an overall experience of more bass and fullness for a longerperiod of time, without causing ear damage. The bass stays punchy and present.Their carefully designed armatures, “from the ground up” means minimalizedwelding points and unnecessary connections, allow for less harmonic distortionand more accuracy. This has another positive psychoacoustic effect on thelistener… a sense of hearing things live. Clean harmonics are thesubconsciously heard tones that enhance a sense of reality. They add depth andspace. They do what a room does to a voice or an instrument. They make it real,spacious, and 3-dimensional. 1MORE’S triple drivers are intimately clear. Thevoice is singing, the instruments are playing, it’s not just sound coming fromtiny speakers in your ears. They bring you and the music together.


此外,使用其它超重低音耳机,耳朵将对过度加强的重低音产生适应性,它将很快补偿由此产生的非自然增益。事实上,自然频响的耳机(如1MORE耳机)将给使用者带来更多低音和精彩纷呈的完整体验,以及更长的聆听时间而不会损伤听力。低音充满力道且反应迅速。1MORE精心设计了动铁单元——极致的设计通过精简焊接点和不必要的连接处——呈现更少的谐波失真和更清晰的音质。这对于使用者来说,在主观声学上具有另一个积极的作用——仿佛身临其境。你可以似有若无地听见干净的泛音,这增强了声音的真实感。这也增强了声音的纵深感与空间感,就像我们所说的殿堂感1MORE三单元耳机的泛音清晰且不乏真实感:演唱的人声,演奏的乐器,就像在现场一般,它不仅只是从耳朵里的小耳机中发出的声音,1MORE多单元圈铁耳机让你与音乐融为一体。

The dedicated armatures for sizzling highsseem to leave room for a more dedicated low end punch from the dynamic driver.This depth can be described by comparing modern modular speaker systems and oldschool stacked speakers. The triple drivers are in essence modular andspacious. They represent a colossal leap from most ear buds, one that’s evenmore noticeable than when you filled your living room with modular speakers andgave your stacks to Uncle Fred.


三单元圈铁耳机中的动铁单元让高频细节顺滑如丝,动圈单元则让低频更冲击有力。这种设计理念,可类比现代的一体化音响系统和传统型组合音响。三单元圈铁耳机大体上就是这样一体化且声场宽广的。不管怎么说,1MORE耳机比起常见的耳机,优势太明显了——你肯定更愿意在自家客厅用一体化的音响来享受音乐,而把过时的组合音响送给隔壁老王。

Let’s talk about kids. Because mostearphone manufacturers have excessive bass boosts, your kids are listening atmuch higher volumes to compensate for the overwhelmed mids and highs, andultimately to compensate for low frequency ear tolerance and hearing damage.All listeners will immediately notice the qualities of harmonic accuracy,clarity, and the naturally balanced frequency response of these earphones. Theywill both hear and emphatically enjoy the acoustic and psychoacoustic benefits.But for those of you who are parents there is a greater impetus… to protectyour children's ears! I would endorse these earphones for that reason alone. Inaddition, your kids will think it's cool to have earphones that don't fake it,that don't lie, that represent their favorite artists and bands the way theartists intended. Artists will like them for the exact same reason. 1More isoffering something unprecedented- supremely accurate and professionallybalanced earphones that are elegantly designed and incredibly affordable. Iwant 10 1More, for my family’s ears and my professional peers.


来聊聊孩子吧!因为大多数的耳机厂商做的耳机低音都太重了,为了听清被低音抑制掉的中、高音,很多小孩听耳机的音量过高,最终会让双耳在低频适应性上做出补偿并导致听力损伤。所有的耳机使用者将很快注意到耳机的多方面素质,如精准的泛音、清晰度和自然平衡的频响。他们将听到和深刻体验到主、客观声学带来的双重享受。但如果你们身为父母,你们会有更强烈地想要保护孩子听力的想法。仅仅是为了这个原因,我愿意为这些耳机画押保证。此外,你们的孩子应该会觉得这很酷——1MORE的耳机不故弄玄虚、不骗人、并且真实重现他们喜爱的歌手和乐队所要表达的音乐和情感,同样,歌手们也会喜欢这耳机。1MORE呈现了很棒的耳机产品,设计精美,合理价格。我打算买101MORE耳机送给我的家人和专业的音乐伙伴!
