Visible Voices Part Two: Exquisite vs Classic! Creative AURVANA AIR cross ratio SONY MDR-E888SP

This series really dragged on for a long time before I wrote the second part. I thought I would wait until the headset was almost written again. As a result, something went wrong at home, so it was delayed.


The previous resumption, starting Creative AURVANA AIR mainly want to find a replacement for the aging SONY MDR-E888SP, the latter is the Nissan long-short version of the first generation NET-MD I started with around Dafa. I recall that when I started with three half-grass grandfathers, the earphones were still fresh in memory today. Afterwards, with the relocation of the E888 production line and the suspension of production, the price of this classic ear plug, which is known as the Sony Home Classic, has skyrocketed and is almost ten times the original price.


However, the evaluation of E888 has been controversial, and some people think that it is overstated, and it is entirely upheld by JS, but more people still firmly believe that "Sony Dafa is good, E888 invincible." In fact, I think this is not the focus of the heart, at least the classic status of E888 is beyond doubt.

Digression: Now even the MDR-E808 and E838 have been sought after by many people. As these two products were randomly allocated to the same year, I really do not understand what is worth blowing? !

As for Creative Creative AURVANA AIR, in a few years, it may be able to become a classic, but now we can see more of it.

In fact, the design of E888 was also very amazing. The ultra-thin unit housing was connected to the slender catheter through flexible rubber. Whether it was a mirror metal and black rubber, or a smooth transition between the housing and the headphones, Shows the gorgeous beauty of Dafa product design.

However, compared with the AURVANA AIR of the latecomers, it is somewhat a sense of "front dead on the beach". The whole form of AURVANA AIR is more distinct and changeable. Even if it does not consider the hanging arm made of memory metal, looking at the housing itself is a very fine art.

If you look beyond the aesthetics of pure beauty, because of the different ways of wearing the two, their comfort and usability can be described as different. E888 is an ordinary wearing method. The shell fits in the outer ear with a slender tube. Compared with ARV NANA AIR, the thickness of the unit shell of E888 is small, although it will lead to more pronounced leakage sound, but it is long. The wearing comfort of time is very good.

AURVANA AIR, however, has a foreign body sensation after wearing for a period of time due to the thick cell housing, but it does not cause discomfort. The design of the lugs makes the AURVANA AIR very stable, and even if it is intense, you don't need to worry about being able to come loose, and it will bring you a sense of hearing between the flat head and the ear (although the sound insulation is still very poor).

The filters of the two are also very different. Although E888 is plastic, it has obvious styling/functional design. The standard rubber seal ring is not a pure round shape, but the world has a raised small corner to facilitate rapid differentiation. Ears; while AURVANA AIR is an all-metal strainer, exquisite and dense, dust-proof effect is stronger than E888.

Of course, the quality of a headset is not reliable. It is ultimately the receipt of the earphone. After all, E888 was a technical product more than a decade ago. It used the first generation of biological membranes, and AURVANA AIR was the product after 2010. The difference between the two was nearly 10 years. Whether the technical gap will be significantly different Grade contrast?

Although we have a tendency to burn a little lately, we naturally have fungus, so we don’t talk about metaphysical things. We still judge it through trial and comparison.

"Amazing Grace" is a classic gospel repertoire written by Japanese singer Aoi Teshima on the album "christmas songs." The song is mainly composed of female voice cabaret. The vocal cords of the handkerchief MM are clear, which is very suitable for female poisonous headphone performances with IF sound. When it comes to female poison, it is necessary to mention the Iron Triangle, and one of the representatives of the iron family EC7 has a lot to do with AURVANA AIR. However, EC7 was priced at the time it was first sold in 2004 and 2005. Level, this I can not afford to burn, had to start with AURVANA AIR.

AURVANA AIR's overall impression of the performance of this song is vacant, moderate vocal distance, clear mouth, smooth mid-high transition, and no apparent boring tone. The sound of the melody sounded in the middle of the piece of music is full of three-dimensional. It can clearly and distinctly move from near to far and then back again.

In contrast, the gap between the interpretation of E888 is quite obvious, and it shows that there is a sense of air, but there is not enough spirit. The vocals were slightly more grainy than the ARVANA AIR, but the details were clear. What makes E888 more impressive is its "elasticity." The mid-section of the piano sounds more "physical." It really wanders like waves.

Mr. Li Yunwen’s movie soundtrack has always been one of my favorites. The “Chu Song” included in the “Legend of the Banquet”, although it is also quite “female poison”, but it also pays more attention to its view on the vocal details – the second half of the music. It is the female chorus under the accompaniment that it is easy to distinguish the resolving power and transient of the earphone.

In terms of this track, E888 was almost completely defeated. Only the right, left, right and 1 female voices could be discerned. The AURVANA AIR not only easily identified the left, right, and right females, but also made the tunes more powerful.

Spooky Chihiro's "Moonlight", don't ask why I'm female poison because I like it!

In fact, the reason why this song was chosen is because of the obvious difference between the two headphones - feelings! The Dafa family is famous for its sound and dyeing. The first impression of the E888 opening is that the feelings are more abundance. Although the vocals are thin, they are more aroused than the AURVANA AIR. The same with the front of the white water boiled style of Apple, AURVANA AIR really looks a little too calm, rational and restrained.

If I continue to speak with female poison, will it be captured by readers? Forget it, or change it.

The 94-year live version of "Hotel California", one of the must-read tracks, is one thing to follow, and it's easy to ask the reader to find a reference.

E888 has always been suitable for listening to vocal-based, small-composed tracks, such as California Pavilion (Ce), a sense of presence and strong but also BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! It is indeed HOLD. The beginning of the drums had already begun to be scattered, and the sand hammers afterwards also revealed insufficient details... The only thing that was desirable was that the vertical and horizontal widths of the sound field were good, and the distribution of the audience was clear.

AURVANA AIR's sense of hearing is closer to the ear than flat headed earplugs, mainly reflected in the low-frequency quality is much better than the all-waste E888 (but can not be compared with the real main player's in-ear ratio). Although there are not many senses of drums, victory is really good in terms of resolution and quality. Everyone says that the deputy factory of innovation is a “demon” and cannot do so in a pounding manner. What's more, AURVANA AIR is "young", and it is more obvious than the "old" E888. The basic advantage is the rhythm of hanging. The only thing better than the E888 is the sound field, which is obviously smaller and less vertical.

Finally, I ended up with an instrumental music.

This version of Yin Chengzong + Nishizaki Matsuko's “Yellow River Butterfly” is one of the first genuine CDs that I started with. The “Butterfly Lovers” is a version of the collaboration between the Czechoslovak Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Nishizaki Matsuko and Yu Jianhao.

The reason to use instrumental music to speak is because AURVANA AIR is also a strong point in this area - high-frequency excellent resolving power and transient performance is agile and swift, and the intermediate frequency is stable and stable, and the low-frequency quality is good and the quantity is not large. It will make people feel tired for a long time. In contrast, E888 really can only sigh "Len'an is quite good!"

However, I will secretly say at the end. The reason why I did not use the Yellow River Suite on this CD is because AURVANA AIR is also broken.

In the end, AURVANA AIR was originally designed to replace the old E888. The latter not only has the shell broken down (common problem), but also the diaphragm's life is almost unbearable. Listen a little longer, or The loud sound will be broken.

However, in general, AURVANA AIR also meets my expectations. As a flat head plug, it does not lose its reputation as a "dial of exquisiteness!"
