Why do so many people choose open-back headphones after they come out? What's so good about this kind of headphones? Will it be easy to step on the pit? I believe that many people who have not been exposed to open-back headphones have these questions, it can be said that the field of open-back headphones has become one of the main battlefields of fierce competition among various big brands, and the products they launch also have their own merits.
As consumers, when choosing, we must find the right demand point to minimize the probability of stepping on the pit. It doesn't matter if you really don't choose, I recently bought three of the best-selling open-back headphones on the market: South Carolina OE MIX, Oladance OWS Pro and Cleer ARC II. (Here are some of the headphones I've reviewed).
The following ** lists the performance parameters of these three open-back headphones:
First: Cleer ARC II
Recommended Index:
Bluetooth performance
Value for money index
The Cleer brand, which is an American brand, belongs to the mid-to-high-end price segment of headphones. It has been established for a long time, but the index customers are basically in the middle and upper levels, and the core team composed of senior designers and engineers in the audio industry is mainly engaged in the research and development, manufacturing and brand marketing of intelligent terminal products such as smart audio, smart headphones and smart speakers. A lot of upgrades have been made in terms of materials, chips, sound quality, and intelligent use, especially in terms of intelligent control, but the technology is still being upgraded.
Comfort Assessment:
The fuselage is also made of flexible titanium alloy memory steel wire and food-grade antibacterial skin-friendly silicone material, which makes the ear hook elastic space, and the feel is ordinary, but it is indeed elastic, its ear hook can be rotated and adjusted, automatic rebound clamping, can adapt to different sizes of ears, ergonomic ear hook and elastic silicone ear hook design combination is similar to the ear curvature, close to the ear pinna is not easy to fall, stability should be good.
After wearing the upper ear, the built-in rotation adjustment gently clamped the ear, the stability is very good, it will not shake up and down, but the earphone cavity is a bit large, not good-looking, and not very good to wear glasses, the other two headphones can, after two hours, I found that the automatic adjustment has been stuck, and the ears are also a little sore.
Sound quality evaluation:The high frequency of the sound quality is not very sufficient, but the low-frequency sound quality and sense of space are very good, DBE's proprietary dynamic bass enhancement technology, supplemented by dynamic 3D surround spatial audio technology, ARC II's performance in the bass is more powerful, cinema-level 360° surround sound, ** in the sense of live, atmosphere and sound enveloping sense at your fingertips, although its low-frequency dive is not very deep, but it has a good cohesion and sense of air.
3.Latency test: Bluetooth 53 connection technology, which can ensure fast connection and stable signal for audio transmission. Hold a variety of Bluetooth codecs, such as AAC, APTX, LDAC, etc., to provide higher quality Bluetooth audio transmission.

Nanka is also our domestic brand, and the Nanka brand as an open head, has isMore than ten yearsOpen-back headphone research experience, possessedAbundant professional technologyThe brand, whether it is sound quality, comfort and core configuration, has long been firmly in the open fieldThe first tier,Its team has even gotten itRecommended by the city and the German Red Dot Design Award, the American Muse Design Awardand other top international awards, the weight of open-back headphones has been hit6.7gInnovations in EAA technologyMake glasses and earhooks 100% compatible, andExclusive acoustic technologyAnd the high configuration makes the sound quality realizedUp to 986% high-fidelity sound quality restoration。It has also been beenWorld champion Guo Dan and gold medal fitness coach Liu GenghongPush it with equal force. Therefore, every new product launch is highly anticipated.
Comfort Assessment:
This headsetThe lightness and comfort are also one of its highlightsThe weight is only 67G, the overall volume is relatively small, and the highly integrated precision structure makes it more compact. With hovering earhooks and skin-friendly soft silicone material, it adopts a 56:44 front and rear lightweight design, and the internal and external weight distribution allows the earbuds to be distributedA more secure fit。The ear hooks are elastic and can be stretched, it is very easy to wear, it is very suitable when I first put it on, I am also a small ear, and I don't need to adjust it to get stuck, and I shook my head left and right and did not appear to be in a state of throwing off, and the skipping rope was not loose indoors, lookCome on56:44 anteroposterior lightweightingDesignIn addition, the ergonomic design is very stable on the ear, the weight of the whole machine is well compatible on the ear, and the contact material is skin-friendly silicone.
Sound quality evaluation:
The overall sound quality of this headset is very goodThe high, medium and low frequencies are relatively balanced! The musicality is still quite good, and the high-quality low frequency that is difficult to do on the general open-back headphones, the performance of the Nanka OE Mix actually exceeded my expectations! The reason for the good sound quality is also that South Carolina joinedDynamic Bass Boost Technology + Super Bass 30 high-performance sound driversThe sound quality is compensated in combination with the same time, South CarolinaSuper Sound OS audiophile-grade acoustic systemapplication, through AI to dynamically adjust the specific frequency of the sound spectrum, to achieve high toHigh fidelity effect.
Latency Assessment:
The latency of these headphones is very low and the use process is very smooth! Made specifically for open-back headphonesBluetooth 54-chip SoCThe performance further improves communication efficiency and anti-interferenceto achieve second connection and second response。At the same time, it has higher data transmission speed, lower energy consumption, and lower communication delay. Nanka Game Mode low-latency processing technologyIt provides an exclusive signal channel for mobile game scenarios, shields external signal interference, optimizes signal transmission power, and greatly reduces game latencyAs low as 006 seconds.
The third: Oladance OWS Pro
Recommended Index:
Bluetooth performance
Value for money index
Oladance is said to be a new brand created by the original Bose executives with a group of Bose engineers to build their own portal, the design of this one is also very capable as a whole, the headphones are made of silicone material, hanging ear wearing, not into the ears, the ears are more refreshing and breathable, open listening to protect hearing, light and comfortable to wear, to ensure that there will be no discomfort such as stuffy ears after wearing for a long time. Although it is a new brand, the founder of Oladance is a senior executive of Bose, and its team is also a veteran player in the audio industry, so there is no need to worry too much about audio tuning and product texture.
Comfort Assessment:
The earhook part refers to the Möbius ring design, with a three-point and one-curved support structure, the smooth lines fit the ear shape to adapt to the pinna of different people, so that the machine fits perfectly and steadily, the body is integrated, the material is relatively hard, the adjustability is very small, and the adaptability to the ear size is relatively small. The earhook is also elastic, much thicker than Nanka's, it looks good, and it is very easy to wear, after the ear, a little troublesome is that the earphone cavity needs to be manually adjusted and aligned, it may be that the earhook is too thin and easy to displace, and when I do the shaking test, the left and right shaking will be a little shaken, and it is more obvious when the skipping rope moves up and down violently, so this stability is not good.
Sound quality evaluation:The overall listening sensation of the earphones is still good, mainly in the performance of high frequencies, thanks to the built-in laminated speaker of the headphones and the OlaDance self-developed algorithm, the sound presented by the OWS Pro is generally full and clear, but the built-in laminated speaker has two diaphragms and two sets of magnetic circuits, so the height of the treble can be raised, and the sense of rhythm is also a little stronger.
Latency Assessment:Support Bluetooth 53 technology, stable and fast connection, farther distance, but the latency is higher, it is not very friendly to friends who like to play games, and there is obvious delay.
I made a detailed evaluation of these three open-back headphones from the three aspects of comfort, sound quality evaluation and delay evaluation, Cleer and Oladance The appearance and brand reputation of these two are good, but there is still room for improvement in comprehensive performance, only Nanka OE MIX This headset performs particularly well in these three aspects, not only is it quite comfortable and light to wear, but it is also particularly safe to use. I really recommend everyone to buy this open-back headset in Nanka to try!
