Foreword:
As a modern person, I have become accustomed to listening to songs every day to maintain my mood and exercise, especially when I need to focus, the noise cancellation function of the headphones makes it easier for me to concentrate into the state, so at the beginning of the year, I bought a new headphone with active noise cancellation.
Unboxing: TWS earphones are lightweight and sound isolating, but not everyone is suitable for long-term wear; Open-back headphones are quite comfortable, but they are not suitable for applications with many people. In contrast, headphones can provide better sound quality and longer battery life in addition to ensuring comfort, sound isolation and other needs, which is more suitable for on-the-go use.
I remember the first time I came into contact with noise-canceling headphones, ** reached the 2k grade, and I could only look up back then. At present, many excellent products in China are three-digit amplitudes, and IKF T3 can achieve active noise reduction with less than two hundred, and the maximum noise reduction depth can reach -43db. This kind of noise reduction effect will not affect listening to songs, even on a noisy platform.
Although it is said that active noise cancellation has long been not unique to thousand-yuan products. However, the noise cancellation function of many noise-canceling headphones is one-size-fits-all, with only two options: on and off.
In contrast, individuals prefer to have a choice. Many of IKF's products have multiple levels of noise reduction to choose from, and there is also a transparency mode that is very suitable for outdoor use, so it has been recommended to friends and colleagues many times.
It's better to have a choice than nothing, and IKF is still one of the few wireless earphones with its own app, which is more convenient to use.
IKF T3 is a head-mounted bluetooth headset, with three colors: cloud white, smoke cloud gray, and haze blue, and I have a blue and black color matching.
Some friends have a certain prejudice against headphones, in fact, it is just a problem of old-fashioned products and low-end products, and there is also a problem of design concept to a certain extent.
In the past, headphones did not have active noise cancellation technology, so many headphones could only adjust the damping and use passive noise cancellation for sound isolation. To put it simply, it is to tighten the headphones to have a sound isolation effect, which is more common in foreign brands.
Modern headphones, in general, have two modified modes. One is the metal steel ring head beam, hollow design, this kind of comfort is relatively high, but the sound insulation is weak; The other is a combination of software and hardware with multi-joint adaptive, high-elastic breathable foam and active sound insulation technology, and the IKF T3 obviously belongs to the latter.
The IKF T3 is compact and simple with its rounded lines as a whole. From the headband to the earcups, it is a round line, the craftsmanship is good, and there is no burr feeling.
The connection between the headband and the earcups is designed with a large steel fork, which is easier to understand from the side.
The large steel fork structure can be adapted to the greatest extent and completely avoid the trouble of the chuck.
The IKF T3 is made of lightweight materials that minimizes the weight burden on the headset. Bluetooth 53 technology connection, the connection is faster and more reliable, and it can also reduce power consumption, so that the battery life can reach 125 hours (95 hours with noise cancellation on).
The flexible and convenient structure can also be easily folded and stored by the IKF T3, which makes it more convenient to take out.
Details:
The skeleton of the IKF T3 is made of stainless steel, which is sturdy and reliable, and has good flexibility.
Scale-free adjustment to meet the needs of people with different face shapes.
Under the headband is a highly breathable sponge, which will not look stuffy when worn for a long time.
The top of the ear cups is also the same level of breathable sponge, which is more comfortable to wear.
Large ear cups allow the entire ear to be wrapped around without pinching the pinna and adding pressure to the ear.
The driver is 40mm, so it performs better in low frequencies and dynamics.
The IKF T3 supports active noise cancellation, which can reach the -43dB level.
When I put on the latest wireless headphones and turned on the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) function, all this hustle and bustle disappeared in an instant, as if I had entered an exclusive ** world.
The melody of *, melodious and deep, as if coming from another dimension, penetrates the noise around it, but cannot be disturbed by this world. The bumps and shaking of the subway also seem to be neutralized by the ** in the headphones. No more that uncomfortable feeling of swaying, replaced by a sense of stability and comfort. I can be deeply immersed in ** and feel the shock and emotion brought by every note.
In addition, there is also a three-microphone ENC noise cancellation, which can be clearly conveyed even when talking to relatives and friends on a noisy platform.
Function: IKF T3The controls are on the left earcup, and the physical key control is used to control the volume
ANC active noise cancellation can also be achieved with physical buttons.
Press the ANC noise cancellation button once to enter noise cancellation mode, and double-tap to enter game mode.
Conventional wireless headphones have a latency of 65ms or more, but the IKF T3 can be reduced to 38ms when it enters gaming mode. After entering the low-latency mode, we will not be attacked by the other party because of the sound delay when we play e-sports FPS games, and because it is a Bluetooth connection, it is not limited to mobile games, and terminal games can also enjoy the fun of IKF T3 low-latency wireless.
The main functions can be implemented at the touch of a button, and the IKF T3 can also be set up and controlled more via the IKF APP to meet individual requirements.
In the APP, we can set up three-stage ANC noise reduction according to our needs; Transparency mode can be set during walking to ensure safety; It can also improve call quality through AI noise reduction and three-microphone active ENC noise reduction.
When the headphones switch to Transparency mode, they allow outside sounds to enter, so you can hear and blend in with your surroundings. Outward-facing and inward-facing microphones work together to remove the sound isolation effect of silicone earbuds, so everything sounds and feels natural when you're chatting with someone around you.
In addition to the functions of noise reduction, there are also many functions such as headphone recovery, alarm clock, timer shutdown, in-ear monitoring, and even burn-in, which is very professional.
There's also a dedicated tuning mode, as well as a personalized pop-up style to choose from.
Subjective Listening & Summarizing:
IKF T3 belongs to three-band balanced tuning, and the sound quality in wired mode has passed the Hi-Res Audio Gold Standard certification, which is suitable for a wide range of applications, and it is more durable if there is no sound coloration. Thanks to the 40mm large sound driver, the low-frequency dynamics are excellent, whether it is an ACG type, a popular type, watching movies, and watching the NBA, there is a very good experience. The mid-frequency vocal performance is also quite good, and the male and female voices are very powerful.
Overall, the IKF T3 is a rare wireless earphone with rich functions and configurations in the same price range. Three-segment ANC active noise cancellation, three-microphone active ENC noise cancellation, and AI noise reduction can achieve very clear listening and speaking.
And with a long battery life of 125 hours, rich app functions and Hi-Fi sound quality certification, the IKF T3 clearly exceeds the performance of this price range.
