Although Tanchjim's first work was Darkside, if you ask about their brand's absolute masterpiece and the model that helped them open the door to the HIFI market, I believe most people's answer is Oxygen Oxygen, which not only brought the best metal shell craftsmanship at the same price, the highest possible quality performance under the traditional charm of the dynamic coil, but also made this brand that seems to be a bit of an Internet celebrity stand firm in the HIFI circle. And the follow-up also launched a high-end limited edition of oxygen. Although Tanchjim officially announced that this new product is an iterative version of oxygen, it still uses a new ID name - "origin", as the meaning of origin, which can be regarded as a tribute to himself.
Oxygen, just like its name back then, injected new oxygen and new vitality into the dynamic ranks of the thousand-yuan gear, I especially like the oxygen under the upgraded line of the twist weaving, although it weakens a little extension at both ends, but enhances the thickness of the middle frequency, the natural reverberation blessing and does not lose the dynamic explosive performance has made me feel commendable, I still remember that time in the rental room outside to take product pictures, a burning friend brother came to help me lift the board to light, Just to listen to oxygen for a while, I shook my head when I listened. Oxygen, including the later limited oxygen, and the cheaper blues, which are pure dynamic products, I think are very good at tuningAfter all, at that time, dynamic products were not as common as they are now able to achieve higher density, better transient and high-frequency response, so it was not a simple matter to be able to retain the quality and make the timbre personalized without taking the digital route. Later, Hana, Darling, and Prism are more models that go to the "same price and all categories" competition, and the sound also tends to be modern and, omnivorous, bright and clear, although HANA was also a small explosive product back then, but the personality of oxygen is completely different.
In terms of the tonality of the product, Tanchjim has, as always, a special temperament, or rather, they are very "self-sufficient".
In the popular TV series "Flowers" a while ago, do you still remember how Fan always praised Mr. Bao played by Hu Ge? He said that what he admired most about Mr. Bao was that tone. You can say that you are not interested in Tanchjim's style, but it is undeniable that they are definitely a very stylish brand in the industry, no matter how the outside competitors roll, how to pile up, how fast the update frequency, how to conform to the market trend, Tanchjim has been changing in its own rhythm, still a typical family cavity shape, high-quality but not stacked strands of the original wiring, self-designed magnetic absorption nanobox, T-APB balanced air pressure earbud covers, As well as the relief process inherited from the darling, combined with the frosted texture on the panel, Origin can be said to explain what it means to be a high-end ingredient that often only needs the simplest cooking method - you don't seem to see anything particularly new about Origin in terms of appearance, but it also reveals the beauty of the metal industry everywhere.
The fifth-generation DMT flagship dual-magnetic dual-cavity unit has significantly improved performance, bringing higher magnetic flux, lower distortion, stronger dynamics and higher efficiency, combined with the curvature of the overhang of FEA** design, it will have more ideal vibration characteristics in specific low-frequency vibrations, taking into account high rigidity and equivalent compliance, so it brings a more ideal dynamic response. The above are some of the official statements, and I personally think that the more significant feature in the sense of hearing is the great dynamics of the origin, and the suppleness of the sound is very good, if you have listened to the limited edition of oxygen, you know that the sound of that generation has been extremely surging, majestic, and the origin on the lower ** maintained the kind of dynamic impression that I left back then, and the sound is smoother than that year, mellow, especially in the middle and low frequency parts have" The thickness and fleshiness of the knot image of the typical dynamic can take into account the balance between punch strength and extreme depth, and it is not procrastinating or too fast.
Sometimes, experienced audiophiles can hear that the sound characteristics of a product are "tuned" the day after tomorrow, such as whether the low frequency is thick or thin, fast or delay, and the reverberation is more or less, butIn the Origin, you can feel the technological progress of the dynamic coil, a full-range unit, and its low frequency is not compromised or flattering, The complete body performance of the big dynamics + depth + elasticity + low-frequency resolution, the expression of the reverberation is also very natural, there should be, and the place where there shouldn't be can be clean. The oxygen of the year, in the low-frequency part, has obvious atmosphere blessing, and the image also has a good sense of flesh, but in the extreme depth, including the balance of purity and atmosphere, it is not as thorough as origin, but there is a contradiction that the low-frequency part is aggravated, but the extremely low frequency is not enough, resulting in it when listening to OST and large compilation, the low frequency is relatively "flat", and it is very comfortable and fresh when listening to pop, these problems no longer exist in Origin.
At present, among the dealers who sell Origin, some merchants have marked Origin with the keyword "female poison", and I agree with this feature first, but its female poison is not the same as the female poison of Hana and PrisimOrigin's female poison is built on sufficient thickness, moderate spatial reverberation, and a more standardized degree of reduction, rather than Hana, which will be brighter and have a younger voice, The details of the voice in the guttural part are also more prominent than Hana, and Hana's style is a more typical Asian sweet female vocal direction, which will sacrifice the mellowness of the male voice a little bit and amplify the sweetness and clarity of the female voice. Origin I personally think that it is currently the most widely adaptable vocal plug in the Tanchjim family, and it can also be competent for Hong Kong and Taiwan lyrical old songs, jazz, including some powerful voices in Europe and the United States, such as Adele and Adam Lambert, but if you want to talk about strengths, it has to be the female vocal part - A-Lin's magnetism, Xu Jiaying's ethereal, Shibata Jun's sweetness, and Yoasabi's aura are all types that Origin can be almost full of.
Some quality things are also worth talking about separately. I think the high-frequency part of origin is also more outstanding, but it has a certain trace of softening in some places where there may be a "tearing feeling", and it has a good tolerance for more slag sound sources, including low-end ** devices, you can say that it is a slightly popular tuning, or it can be said that this is a more in line with the mass market treatment, because it is not necessary for non-audiophile users to feel that "high frequency is good" is not necessarily through digital taste, increase brightness, and increase stimulation. The high frequency of the origin is very airy, but it is not prominent in the extreme extension, and it is also a very natural and melodious existence to listen to some trios and piano solos. In terms of spatial sense, there are some traces of overstepping backstabbing in the origin, not to mention the horizontal width, even if it is single-ended, it has a very good sense of depth and three-dimensionality, which is completely inferior to Darling and Prisim.
In terms of sound defects, if you take out each of its qualities alone, if you consider it according to the selling price of 1580, I don't think there are any obvious defects at all, the degree of completion is very high, and even put the origin in the thousand-yuan price range that is crazy at this stage, and the competitiveness of its sound is no less than when oxygen was just listed. In terms of sound adaptability, I think Origin is a popular omnivorous system that can span Asian, European and American systems, including hiphop and electronic music, as well as partial string piano production. I have always been not very satisfied with the performance of the Tanchjim family's earbuds, which may have something to do with his family's pursuit of target curves, and when listening to tracks like Mahler 2 and Shaw 5, the thickness of the sound image, especially the majesty of the wind part, still feels a little small and fresh. By the way, the surface of the cavity of origin is the same as the oxygen of the year, and it is easy to leave some small traces of oxidation or scratches, and there are already some slight traces on the surface after I opened the package a few days later, at this moment, just like that moment.
Boss Yao, the manager of Tanchjim, didn't communicate with me much in private, and his personality was not the kind of person who was very keen on sharing, let alone a person who liked to brag about his products, but when he heard me say "Origin retains the taste of oxygen", he was very excited to briefly share with me the difficulties encountered in the development process of Origin, mainly on the basis of increasing the magnetic flux by 30%, it is difficult for them to "control" this unit, the entire magnetic circuit, voice coil, and diaphragmThe front and rear acoustic chambers are overturned and redesigned, and it is really difficult to retain the charm of the year on this basis, but in fact, from the results, they have done it. I believe that with the acoustics and structural technology of the two big men of Tanchjim, Liu Gong and Liang Gong, there is never a need to worry about whether Origin can become a high-quality earbud product, but this time, what they have done is to pay tribute to themselves and sublimate the ID of "oxygen".
