Hello everyone, I'm glutton
Recently, non-in-ear headphones have indeed become more and more popular, whether it is bone conduction or air conduction, its essence is to make sound through the outside, so as to achieve no swelling pain, do not block the ear canal use experience, greatly improve the discomfort after wearing headphones for a long time.
Of course, due to their inherently athletic nature, most of these headphones are designed for sports, but for another group of consumers, this type of wearing is also applicable, and that group of people is avid esports gamers.
As a game enthusiast, headset is a must-have peripheral product, especially for games with high sound requirements, its performance may directly determine the win or loss of the game, and many players will wear headphones for a long time when gaming, so performance and comfort are equally important for this part of consumers.
As an old domestic brand, Edifier has actually discovered this part of the market, so it has specially developed a new product line - HECATE series. And this headset on display this time is the latest product from HECATEhecate air2。
HECATE, a professional e-sports label owned by Edifier, aims to open the door to the game world for players with a heart of exploration. With a futuristic design style and an obsession with performance redundancy, it once again reshapes the boundaries between gaming and life.
Without further ado, let's take a look at how it performs.
After all, the main e-sports style, so the packaging design is quite avant-garde, with a transparent window and a silver-white shell, and the high-energy mecha style is instantly ignited.
After opening the package, you can see that in addition to the earphone itself, it also includes data cables, manuals, lanyards and other accessories.
Unlike most headphones, this HECATE Air2 adopts a fully transparent headphone compartment design, which is officially advertised as an energy compartment, coupled with a cool appearance, it does have a sense of sight that is a sci-fi blockbuster.
Of course, as an energy compartment, in addition to storing the earphones, it is also the charging base of the earphones, and the magnetic structure can firmly fix the earphone body, and its RGB surround light begins to flash when charging, and the combat attributes are full.
The entire transparent shell has a cylindrical structure, and the base can be separated by unscrewing the compartment cover when you need to use it. After opening it, I just want to say "Wow", it's really cool, the polygonal headphone body is matched with a titanium gray tone, as if the combat power can be improved several levels immediately after bringing it.
The shape of the earphones looks relatively heavy, but the actual weight is very light, there is no burden on the ears, and the wide ear parts are also strong enough to lock the earphones firmly at the root of the ear to ensure the comfort of wearing.
Turn it over and you can see its sound generating unit, and the overall structure is still relatively compact.
For an open-back earphone, wearing comfort is also crucial, then this HECATE Air2 relies on the accumulation of ergonomic data of the Edifier for many years, and adopts an open design with a high adaptation to the pinna, which does not enter the ear canal without swelling pain, is comfortable and stable and does not press the ear, and truly wears it without feeling more free.
When wearing, the earbuds can be bound to the root of the ear through the ear attachment part, and the multi-point fixation is more stable, and you can easily cope with shaking your head and running and jumping after trying it.
In addition, this open conduction design can help to perceive the sound of the outdoor environment at all times, not only to enjoy the sound but also to take into account the external environment at any time, to enjoy transparency and safe companionship, and to wear it with outstanding appearance, even if you go directly to the street without any pressure.
In terms of control, the headphones realize common functions such as song switching, pausing, answering**, and mode switching through a touch adjustment mode.
Of course, in addition to wearing comfort, excellent sound quality is also the focus of this Hecate Air2, which is added through the interior 14The 2mm dynamic driver, combined with the 27 years of acoustic technology precipitation of the Edifier, this headphone brings more realistic and delicate high-quality sound. After listening to a few songs, it can be said that this is the best open-back headphones I have ever used, compared to other brands, its sound field is more open and transparent, as if the sound is turned on all of a sudden, the three-frequency performance is balanced, the bass is strong enough, and the middle and high frequencies are also remarkable.
On the basis of the excellent sound generating unit, HECATE Air2 also adopts the Malleus ALEC high-precision malleus algorithm to make dynamic acoustic compensation and cavity correction for the low and high frequencies of the earphones, so as to avoid the problem of insufficient low frequency and high frequency harshness.
As air conduction, directional audio technology is crucial, so these headphones are equipped with a specially designed acoustic cavity to guide sound to the ear canal in a directional manner, effectively suppressing sound expansion, effectively reducing sound leakage, ensuring private listening, and making the sound of the game more accurate. After listening to the quiet environment, there is almost no sound leakage from half a meter away. Of course, it should be noted that after all, it is an open-back headphone, and its sealing will be slightly worse than that of an in-ear headphone in a noisy environment.
After all, the main focus is on e-sports, so in game mode, the earbuds provide a faster ultra-low latency experience through Hecate LLATTM low-latency acceleration technology, and the sound and picture are synchronized to play, allowing you to kill all sides and win easily.
In terms of wireless connectivity, the headphones use the latest Bluetooth 53 connections, bringing a more stable, faster, and more power-efficient experience.
In addition to the sound unit, its built-in high-definition microphone separates the human voice from the ambient sound through an intelligent algorithm, making communication clearer and collaboration with teammates smoother.
In terms of battery life, Hecate Air2 supports 10 hours of battery life, and with the charging case, it can bring an additional 18 hours of battery life, so you can play as you like all day long, and you won't worry about power when you go out.
When charging, the RGB lighting effect on the bottom shell is very beautiful, and the gaming attributes are directly full.
Through the use of these days, I have to say that this Edifier Hecate Air2 headphones are really worth buying.
First of all, the air conduction technology is different from the in-ear, semi-in-ear, headphones, and bone conduction, which can be more open and free, and for people with otitis media or long-term wear needs, the open design is more in line with the actual use needs; Secondly, the shape of this headset is super cool, with a strong gaming style and RGB lighting effects, which make it obviously differentiated, and at the same time, Malleus ALEC's high-precision malleus algorithm and Hecate LLATTM low-latency acceleration technology are definitely a must-have choice for e-sports enthusiasts; The last point is that the ** of this headset only costs about 300 yuan, which can be said to be full of cost performance for the use experience and performance.
So if you have the need to purchase headphones in the near future, and have expectations for wearing comfort and sound mode, this Hecate Air2 must give it a try, there will be surprises.
