Since 2010, Sennheiser has made a more elaborate plan for the consumer-grade headphone product line. Many classic models have also been updated collectively during the year, such as the second generation of the PX100 and 200, the CX series. A variety of products, sports series with Adidas and so on. The MX980 and CX980 were a new series of new positioning and new designs at the time – the Expression performance series. We also released the CX980 evaluation report in 2010. In 2012, Senhai updated these two models to MX985 and CX985. Today's evaluation is MX985, and the price is much lower than when the series was first released in 2010 [the price was over 2,000 yuan in that year] The MX985 is priced at 849 yuan, and the online shopping price is about 700 yuan.
The MX985 and CX985 belong to the Expression series launched by Sennheiser in 2010. Readers familiar with Sennheiser products should know that MX and CX have several well-known models in the past, and Sennheiser also Use these two initials to distinguish the classification of the headphones. For example, MX500, MX400, MX270, etc., they refer to ordinary earbud headphones; and CX300, CX500, CX280, etc. are in-ear styles. The Expression series has the meaning of showing the best products of MX and CX separately. I believe this is the location of the series. In this series of products, only these two [the official website also showed MX980, a total of three], and the "performance series" does not only mean that its sound has to reach a higher level, but also in appearance breakthrough.
When we saw the CX980 headphones in 2010, it was shocked by the metal texture of its appearance and the extremely exquisite workmanship. For high-end headphones, Sennheiser is also meticulous in product packaging and accessories, MX985/980 and The CX980 is designed with almost the same design. The CX980 is an in-ear earphone and the MX985 is a regular earbud. Although today's headset products add value more than ever before, such as appearance, accessories, and even the sound and touch of the product, the design of the MX985 is not far behind. They are not positioned for young people who like colorful, but exquisite The workmanship and design in various nuances make the whole product more professional and perhaps more suitable for business people.
Where is the MX985's meticulous? We also mentioned it in the CX980 evaluation many years ago. The MX985 is nothing special from the headphone unit and the case. It's a normal-sized earbud headset, and in this part of Sennheiser it's just using a better plastic material. Starting from the earphone handle, the MX985 is finished with a metal material. Although the handle looks large, the hollow design is used inside, so the overall weight control is better, and there is no heavy feeling when worn. The lines and decorations of the earphone handles are very detailed, not only ensuring the sturdiness but also a good visual and tactile feel.
The MX985 provides a line control that controls the volume below the splitter card. This line control is an analog resistive potentiometer. It does not control the volume inside the smartphone, nor can it be used to answer calls. Both the wire-controlled external and the fader use a metal material similar to that of the earphone handle [the lower part of the wire control is inconsistent with the metal material, and the upper case and the fader seem to be used for assembly and pushing, using an electroplating process, although See the difference, but still very good texture]. The 3.5mm headphone plug of the MX985 earphone is also very beautiful. The material is the same as the handle of the earphone. The root of the plug adopts a damped design with a large damping. The rotation angle is 90 degrees. When the player is matched with the player, it can be adjusted according to different storage conditions.
In terms of earphone accessories, the MX985 provides a small black leather-wrapped storage box with a white line “lockingâ€. The box is made of plastic and lighter. After the lid, the lid can be tied with rubber bands, which is a bit retro. . At the same time, it also provides a detachable metal cable ties, even if wearing a business headset is not worthy of the wind. As an earbud earphone, the MX985 is also equipped with a sponge plug to suit the wearing comfort of different users or to change the performance of the sound to a certain extent by wearing different degrees of tightness.
According to official data, the MX985 has an impedance of 16 ohms and a sensitivity of 120 dB. The total harmonic distortion is less than 0.1% in terms of distortion [the above data is generally an index of 1 kHz]. Nearly all products of Sennheiser official website give a total harmonic distortion. If you are interested, you can refer to the value of high-end headphones [eg IE800 is less than 0.06%, HD800 is less than 0.02%].
Since this headset is sent to users for testing, we have a simple downtime for the headset, about 150 hours. The main contrast headphones tested were Aurvana Air, Apple Earpods. The audio source includes iPod Classic, vivo Xplay and iPhone 5, and uses Monitor 03 US, Fantasia D/A decoder, etc. as auxiliary reference.
About wearing : As an ordinary earphone-type earphone, because of different wearing styles, there are some disadvantages when compared with in-ear earphones. Wearing stability, ordinary users wear dimensional tightness, resulting in isolation and actual listening to external noise. Differences in effects and more. In particular, the current increase in demand for “out of the street†does make the experience of earphones not good enough. [Under the noisy environment, I can’t hear it. ] As a home or in a quiet environment, it is necessary to wear the headphones comfortably and have a good sound performance, which varies from person to person and from the strictness of the sound requirements, and varies depending on the state of use. Our tests are carried out in the most ideal state to ensure the performance of the sound to the utmost extent. Without special explanation, there is no evaluation under the sponge cover. As a normal earphone, the MX985 has a medium size, but the headphone cavity is thicker and may be slightly larger for different users.
Overall impression : MX985 is a relatively easy to drive earplugs, but compared with in-ear earphones in terms of efficiency is still slightly worse, even with the sound source such as Xplay does not seem to be particularly full [also related to the quality of headphones]. However, in the sound source matching, there are some special and MX985 users need to pay attention to. IPC, iPhone 5 and other sound neutral, partial sound, but more than Xplay's strength, but the control is obviously not as good as Xplay. The whole sound of the MX985 is relatively neutral, with good resolution and relatively slack sound. It is only on the iPhone 5 that it is especially high-frequency, it is not harsh, but there are a lot of relatively fine graininess. With a relatively loose sound, the overall feeling is rough. The control of IPC has improved, and it has performed best on Xplay, and the burr and loose graininess have disappeared. The following reviews are based primarily on iPod Classic and vivo Xplay.
High-frequency performance : MX985's high-frequency has a good resolution, the sound is relatively loose, slightly slight grainy, not suitable for the "violent" headphone output, and the quality of the sound source will also have high-frequency quality. More obvious help. Pessimistically speaking, when the MX985 is equipped with a portable sound source, the high frequency is not good to serve; on the positive side, its high frequency performance has a relatively soft performance under a better sound source, and the transient performance is more detailed and fast. Compared with Aurvana Air, the style of the MX985 is different, and it is worse in terms of resolution, dynamics, and sound field. Especially in the high frequency upward extension, the degree of widening of the high frequency sound field is quite different. This also caused a relative impression that the MX985 sounded a bit loose when comparing Aurvana Air. However, the advantages of Aurvana Air are undeniable. Even with some over-the-top sources such as IPC or iPhone 5, although the high frequency is slightly brighter, it is still very detailed, and the high-frequency part is obviously more detailed, while the middle and high. The dynamics of the frequency part are also better, the sound is more balanced and the density is better.
IF performance : The MX985's slightly looser style has certain advantages in the performance of the mid-range vocal. This style of vocal performance is what many users like, especially when it comes to a portable sound source with a low quality. The sound seems to be stretched, there is no blunt feeling, even in the performance of the male voice will be soft, with a certain emotional color. The Aurvana Air is relatively straightforward. It is more blunt when paired with IPC, and it will converge when using Xplay. Aurvana Air's advantage is still in the mid-range dynamics, the sound is significantly more retractable, the greater sound pressure Aurvana Air is more powerful, and the MX985 is "loose" off, so the MX985 is worse than the Aurvana Air. In terms of vocal performance, the details of Aurvana Air are still better, but it is possible that everyone will like the style of MX985, but on the better sound source, we think that the overall quality of Aurvana Air is still better.
Low-frequency performance : For small earplugs, it is obviously not a high-quality performance that is limited by physical conditions. This does not seem to have much to do with the price of headphones. Can the performance in the mid-low frequency part be better? For small earplugs, it seems to be a more practical requirement. It also determines the overall sense of hearing of the headphones, the connection between the intermediate frequency and the low frequency, and so on. The dynamics of the MX985 are still not an advantage. It does not have ample momentum in the middle and low frequency even with a sponge sleeve. This advantage of Aurvana Air seems more obvious. In some mid-low frequency areas where drums are dominant, the MX985's slack sound has good control. It will appear more stretchy and richer than the transient details of Aurvana Air, but it is not hard and unambiguous. The transients of Aurvana Air are very sharp, but it seems that some of them are too fast, they lose a little detail, and the sound is not stretched enough. Although we don't have much requirements for the low frequency of small earbuds, the low frequency and low frequency performance of these two headphones still show significantly better resolution and transients than low-priced earplugs, of course, with in-ear and even Earpods. Compared with headphones, the difference in low-frequency volume is still very large.
Sennheiser MX985 is an earphone type in the Expression series. Its appearance gives us a sense of shock. It is not as good as the CX980's evaluation in 2010. This is because the progress of the work of the headset products is also like the smart phone industry. The speed is increasing. Although the update and price of this series of headphones have been lowered, some readers have asked us if the CX980 has a higher price/performance ratio. We can't be completely sure, but think back to the changes in the headset new products and the headset market for more than 3 years. Even if we leave all the appearance experience, the sound of the headphones is very very large, and there are more and more headphones with good sound. The concept may also be constantly challenged.
The MX985 is an updated version of Sennheiser's MX980 released in 2012 compared to 2010. It is positioned as the best of the MX series. Although we have not evaluated or heard the performance of the MX980, the Aurvana Air, which is also an old product, obviously has an advantage in sound performance. Of course, Aurvana Air was also a 1000-2000 yuan earphone. Although the MX985 has certain advantages over the low-end earphones, it has advantages in terms of design and workmanship, and is also very forward-looking. The positioning of the Expression series is also very accurate and clear. Although some people want to slap digital more in Hessen Hessel, we still have to say that the sound performance of the MX985 does not match the mission of its product positioning and product naming symbol. Of course, from the perspective of price, brand, appearance, design, and sound performance, although the price of 800 yuan is not cheap, there is no price/performance ratio, but it is also a representative earphone.
