Now many mobile phones are no longer equipped with standard headphones, even if the standard, the sound quality is not necessarily much better, so many users are looking for a good cost-effective headset as a daily main purpose. Since most people are not so-called gold ears and they don't have too much budget and time to burn headphones, the audience of headsets has always been very broad, so that the corresponding market has become a contestable place for major manufacturers. .
As a well-known brand in the field of domestic HIFI acoustics, Astrid has introduced many fine products on the headset. AM800, AX30, AS100Pro and other models have been recognized and loved by consumers, especially the combination of positioning fashion and sound quality of the GX series The previously launched GX50, GX40 and GX30 all have stylish appearance and impressive sound quality. However, the GX20, which was introduced recently, has changed the style of the predecessors into the main commuter wear and high-fidelity sound quality. After some experience, it was found that the headset does have many bright spots, and good things are not exclusive.
Ascotex GX20 continues GX30's packaging style, flip-type long paper carton packaging, cool black background with Sao Hong's pattern and text, it looks quite high-grade, but the font size of the text seems a bit too small, need to be serious Recognition can be seen clearly. Ascote's style is always like to specify the product features and parameters in detail on the back of the package, so that users can quickly understand the product.
The accessories of the GX20 are basically the same as those of its predecessors, but the imitation leather material of the storage bag is changed to a flannel material. The feel of the velvet storage bag is still good, but the opening of the bag is somewhat small, and it may be inconvenient when the earphone is stored. Three pairs of silicone earmuffs and a pair of sponge earmuffs are common black, and can be adapted to different sizes of ear canals to meet the different needs of users wearing and hearing. Warranty card for the card design, the original use of the chance is not much, simple point is better.
In terms of earphone modeling, the GX20 uses the GX30's mold. The same rounded appearance looks like a fellow brother, but the GX20 eliminates the metal wafer in the middle of the casing, which makes it look more crystal-clear. At present, GX20 is only available in Neptune Blue and Crystal Violet colors, although the number of color matching is somewhat less, but the color is still more suitable for the current season, compared to GX50 and GX40's shining bright show, I prefer this crystal clear and young Fashion style.
The transparent earphone cavity can clearly see the internal structure of the earphone, and at the same time, it can also indirectly understand the internal workmanship of the product. The inner side of the cavity is printed with an identifier for distinguishing the left and right channels. In addition, a blind spot is arranged on the outer side of the protective cover of the left earphone, and the user can recognize the left and right channels through blind spots in a scene with insufficient light.
The GX20 uses a unique 40-degree tilt cavity design. Longer catheters can be inserted deep into the ear canal, and a special silicone earmuff can be used to create a passive noise reduction effect. In a noisy environment, about 7-10 dB can be reduced, and the noise reduction effect is still quite obvious. From the point of view of wearing, such a design is more able to fit the auricle of the human body, and under the comfortable wearing experience, the firmness of the wear is enhanced, and it will not easily fall off even if it is exercised. This kind of three-fold design, think it is easy to use.
The addition of the line control function can provide a lot of convenience for adjusting the volume, switching music, and answering calls. The GX20 uses a conventional three-button remote control. It feels good, but the key gap is somewhat large, and it will shake loose. I hope this can be improved. The back of the remote control is equipped with a microphone and a "universal switch", which can be used to switch between international and national plug standards, perfectly compatible with common smartphones such as iOS, Android, WP, etc., eliminating the need for extra Add trouble to the adapter.
In terms of wire rods, the GX20 uses high-purity oxygen-free copper as the core to ensure that losses are minimized when transmitting sound. The outer layer of the wire uses Kevlar material at the same level as the parachute, which is characterized by its resistance to stretching and bending. It has good elasticity and effectively prevents the wire from winding. The splitters and plug handles are also made of a better-quality metal material, and the same brand name and earphone model are printed on the same as the previous earphone products.
The GX20 is equipped with a uniquely developed 9.8mm ferromagnetic neodymium-iron boron sounding unit with an impedance of 16 ohms and a sensitivity of 102dB, making it very easy to drive small front-ends such as mobile phones and audio-visual equipment. The predecessor GX30 has a good sound performance and omnivorous quality. As a simplified version of the GX20, these excellent genes are extended to a certain extent. The overall balance of the three frequencies is relatively balanced: distinctive features in low frequency, powerful drums, and powerful rebound speed. Fast, sense of quality and texture are all just right, giving off a strong sense of atmosphere; the vocal center of the intermediate frequency is centered, the voice is natural and loose, the male and female voices have good performance; the high frequency is relatively moderate, and the extension is relatively good. There is a certain degree of suppression of the sound, which is generally a type of suppleness and resistance, and it does not appear harsh.
In the overall tuning, the GX20 has a strong sense of melody and rhythm. In concert with rock, blues, pop and other concerts, the GX20 has a great listening experience. After recollecting Jay Chou’s classic works, the GX20 has a unique musical charm. Can get a stronger sense of substitution, R & B's genre is really fascinating, and long-term experience is not a tired, but also a pleasure. For other styles of music, the GX20 can also play well. I recently became a little obsessed with Chen Jieyi's songs. Her poetic dream seems to have a magical power. Using the GX20 sounds even more intoxicating.
to sum up:
As a commuter headset, it's really difficult to do it in three aspects of wear, hearing, and applicability. The Astrid GX20 features a unique cavity shape, an impressive sound unit, and optimized tuning. The style brings outstanding noise and noise reduction effects to the user, and with the comfortable wearing and high-quality sound effects, the overall performance is satisfactory. Whether it is in the noisy commute way or on the sofa in the home, the GX20 is Can immerse you in the ocean of music. From the beginning of the hundred-dollar pricing, we can see that the GX20 is eager to create explosive models for entry-level headsets. In my opinion, it does have such strength. There is no fancy look and gimmick, but only better wear and Listening experience, you will like this kind of entry headset?
