Paying for heartbeat - depth measurement of Aftershook AS600 bone conduction sports headset

Description: The question map borrowed the sun prints before this site's friend @ School Fresh Ron, because I like this photo very much! Also because of this map poisoning, decided to order to buy the same color headphones! This picture has already been applied to the author! The full text only borrow this one picture! The rest are original! !

I have a fate with this sports headset. . Although I did not measure it in my station!

Actually, before the school's Ron Ronald published the famous testimonial, I also learned about it. It was only a few years ago that at that time, there was a headphone god in WeChat's circle of friends that was continuing to be related to popular science. The knowledge, by the way, I paid attention to understand the next. . It can be said that I was looking at this stuff from the concept step by step to become like this! !

Of course, after Aunt Zhang's public test came out, I was very enthusiastic about the application. Of course, I was surprised that I was very heroic. . (Zhongxun Inner Heart OS: You didn't write related originals, how to give you related products.)

When this evaluation report came out, I was impressed for a moment. . (You know it's been impressed!) Then it was determined to make a decision and go home. So on a night of high winds, orders were made. . Choose the same color as the goddess!


壹·brand

The full name of this headset is: AfterShokz voice AS600 Trekz TitaniumTM bone conduction sports headset. Let's talk about the brand - the AfterShokz vocal.

AfterShokz: Shenzhen Headphone Technology Co., Ltd.'s headphone brand, and it is interesting that this brand belongs to the same name subsidiary Shenzhen Zhenyin Technology was registered in the United States in 2011. Aftershokz introduced the two product lines of Sportz Sports Headphone and Bluez Double Ear Bluetooth Headset based on bone conduction improvement technology. The R&D, design and production of its products are completed by its parent company Voice Technology, which can be described as pure Chinese origin.

In fact, the Voice Sound Technology was founded in 2001 as the earliest bone conduction headset for military and police professionals, and has achieved very good results in the world: at home, become the Beijing Olympic Games, Shanghai World Expo, Guangzhou Asian Games, Shenzhen Universiade One of the major suppliers of professional earphones for domestic major projects; overseas, its products have become the first choice for heavyweight distributors in North America, Europe and other places.

In recent years, it has applied its technical accumulation in the field of military and police specialized bone conduction headphones to the consumer electronics field. Its subversive user experience and original technological elements have attracted the attention of global heavyweight media and are Electronic award-winning awards. Including the best: 2014 Edison Award for Electronic Entertainment Product Gold Award and 2014 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Wearable Device Innovation Award. .


贰·Technology

Let's talk about the Trekz TitaniumTM bone conduction technology. .

As mentioned earlier, AfterShokz launched the Sportz sports headset and the Bluez binaural Bluetooth headset. According to the meaning of the word is well understood: Sportsz is the main sport for entry-level cable styles; Bluez is Bluetooth wireless, the main high-end sports crowd. Judging from the current sales situation, people like jogging, cycling, etc. are favored among them. Among them, the Bluez 2S is also a bone-conduction Bluetooth headset explosion model. What about Trekz?

Trekz is a new series of AfterShokz bone conduction headset products (not to replace the Bluez series). How did it get its name? The English Trek means a long journey, with the suffix TitaniumTM (titanium). It can be seen that this series mainly uses "Titanium technology can make you more comfortable and long-term use of bone conduction headphones."

The earphone frame is made of rare titanium alloy, which not only greatly improves the firmness and elasticity of the product, but also reduces the weight of the product. The comfort of long-time wear can also be improved a lot, and makes the "Trek" truly worthy of it. .

Next, focus on: bone conduction. What is the principle?

Excerpt a short paragraph of Duan Niang's original words to give everyone a piece of science:

In fact, it's complicated to say. It looks like a very big explanation. It's very common in life. When we eat biscuits, we often hear the cracking of biscuits. It's because the vibrations are transmitted to our inner ear through our teeth and skull. . In addition, when you drink water or scratch your head, you can hear the sound of bone conduction. Earphones made with bone conduction technology, called bone conduction headphones, are also known as bone conduction headphones, bone-sensitive headphones, bone-transmission headphones, and bone-sensing headphones (many names!).

Compared with traditional headphones, the advantages of bone conduction headphones are very obvious: 1. open ears; 2. comfortable to wear; 3. no damage to hearing; 4. sweat-proof and waterproof. Bone conduction technology is mainly used in military and police professional headphones, hearing aids, sports headphones and other fields.


叁·Open box

(Landlord inner heart OS: I guess I'm not going to start the show again. Someone wants to cut me off.)

Well, finally we have to start the show. Due to inner excitement, the outer box is directly ripped and thrown away. Left the close-fitting box. .

This color and background are too good, there are wood. . Liked the box design style. .

The side of a sports brawny with the same color headphones fight, B full ah. .

The tape at the top of the box

Back text description. . Including the English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch seven languages, there is no Chinese (Chinese is attached to the above in the form of a tag). The technical characteristics of the product are introduced: bone conduction technology, high-quality stereo, IP55 anti-sweat grade and lightweight titanium alloy frame, as well as dual noise reduction microphones, multi-device pairing, 6 hours of music + phone, open design and more. .

Take a look at the detailed Chinese information tag. . This product is not only MADE IN CHINA but also DESIGNED IN CHINA. Chinese quality creation.

Bare makeup after taking out the outer box. .

It can be seen more clearly.

There are still a large number of rivers and mountains below the headphones. . There is a headphone bag and instruction manual, open the headphone bag, there are a variety of small accessories, including warranty cards, charging lines, earbuds and adjustable silicone band (to adapt to different sizes of head size). .

Come to an accessory family portrait. .

See clearly enough. .


肆·Details

Headphones in your hand, the two most intuitive feelings: light, pro. .

The first light, as the name suggests, refers to light weight, with official data of 36 grams. Truthfully speaking, if the weight of a pair of earphones that are positioned for sports is too heavy, it is obviously unacceptable. This headset can be worn on the head can be said that there will not be much pressure, especially in the running process, the feeling is still relatively good, there will be no special feeling. In terms of volume, it is also quite small. .

The second pro refers to skin-friendly. . After the hanging part, the inner core is made of titanium alloy, and the outer layer is coated with a layer of silicone coating with a very high skin-friendly coefficient. Whether it is feel or ear feel, it is good. Even if there is sweat, it feels good. .

The sophistication of silicone can be seen. .

The two pictures above show the only three operating buttons on the entire headset. . But the combination between them can produce a lot of different features, as well as state patterns. .

There are detailed introductions in the manual, and I will not waste time by playing one by one. .

This is the headset section. Next we look at the accessories. .

Can be used to adjust the size of the head size of the adjustable silicone band. . Minutes or so. .

The specific use of the position, according to personal conditions to adjust the position. .

Sponge earplugs can help users experience the pure sound from bone conduction. . (Then it is equivalent to saying that in the normal mode, what we have heard is actually the sound of bone conduction and air conduction.)

Headphone bag, leather is also very delicate, feels very good touch. .

But there is a problem: this headphone bag looks like a little bit more compact, the headset on the inside, need to be distorted, I worry about the long time will not affect the earphone's skeleton? !


Wu used

Single point of connection

The first is the connection to the Bluetooth terminal, we take the mobile phone as an example, and then we warmly welcome everyone to serve me for many years iphone4S Jun. .

In accordance with the instructions, press the power button for more than 5 seconds, the LED indicator light as shown above, red and blue light flash alternately, and accompanied by a "pairing" sound. . At the same time open the phone's Bluetooth function, put together and soon mutual induction. .

Click on the link. .

It should be said that the first time booting is very simple, you can directly enter the pairing mode and complete the pairing. And once the pairing is completed, each time the boot can be automatically matched, it is very convenient.

The test song is still from the landlord's favorite "Cloud Atlas". . . I vaguely remember that in the movie theater, one person watched the pack and cried like a child. . . (Not that no one would have watched this movie. Just like "Avatar" earlier, almost everyone has a long queue to watch the Chinese dubbing version. The original sound version looks like nobody cares)

2, multi-point connection

Although the instructions emphasize: to achieve multi-point connection, binding new devices, headphones need to shut down and restart, re-enter the pairing mode. However, the actual measurement does not require a shutdown and restart. It is sufficient to directly enter the pairing mode, but it is necessary to manually select the connection each time you connect the second device (the first device can be automatically connected).

In addition, in the actual use, there will still be situations where the equipment is in a state of chaos and directly down. In fact, this is easy to understand: Imagine if your two bosses of the same level send you different commands every day when you are crazy? !

3, sensing distance

Poor penetrability: Put the phone in a small office and go to the next room with a headset (no more than 5 meters in a straight line). You will find that the signal is intermittent, sometimes not. In fact, there is only a brick wall in the middle. Tempered glass partitions, visible signal penetration is weak, or headphones in the ability to accept the penetration signal.

The open area signal is good: The manual says that the Bluetooth connection distance is 10 meters. I measured it, put the phone on the railing on the riverside, and measured the length in steps.

Can you see where my phone is?

In fact, in the very center of the first picture, the position of the station when I took pictures is just the critical point of normal signal. .

After walking out for 22 steps, the phenomenon of signal instability began to appear. According to the law of my daily work (the length and breadth of the classroom needs to be measured by footsteps), the distance of my step is about 1 meter, which means there is no barrier within 22 meters. In the case of things, the Bluetooth signal is good. .

4, fixed test

When the test was shaken in place, the headphone stuck firmly on the head. There is no displacement of the head about freely shaking. .

I really do not go to the mirror, and I look for the company's design sister paper to shoot it. .

All kinds of shaking have no effect. .

Running test. .

This is to participate in an online game activity and show the creative track. . I combined a "LOVE" with the surrounding streets. . I wear this headset throughout the entire process (though the track record only recorded 5.73 kilometers, in fact, the whole exercise process is more than 12 kilometers, and the cumulative exercise time is more than 70 minutes!) The use experience is as follows:

4.1. The headset card is very stable. Whether it is a sudden jump during running or a regular movement in the horizontal direction, the headphone can be well stuck on the head and remain relatively stable.

4.2, sound and sound quality is also very good. There is no change in the tone of sound and the rhythm of diffraction due to movement.

4.3, headphones waterproof well. Since the earphone is designed to care about the waterproof performance, the large amount of sweat generated during running does not affect the earphone, and the earphone surface does not have sweat.

From a running enthusiast's point of view, this headset can be considered a recommended sports headset.

5, power consumption

Actually, I haven't recharged my batteries since the earphones were unpacked, including the Guangzhou High Speed ​​Rail from Guangzhou to Guangzhou. I have accumulated more than 15 hours of use, and the power is still LOW. .

As a marathon runner, I am pleased that if one day I like to run a marathon with headphones, then this Bluetooth is enough to participate in the 100KM event! !


Lu summary

The advantages of this product are obvious:

1, the battery is durable, standby and use for a long time.

2, the headset is very light, no pear on his head.

3, headphone body is very skin-friendly, good skin contact.

4. There is no longer ear closure of traditional earphones. When listening to music, it can also take into account other surrounding sounds. When exercising, it can help runners improve safety.

5, control is also very simple.

6, the most critical is: long look good! High value! !


The problem also exists:

1, English pronunciation tone. Really, it's a bit baffling. Let’s not say that the tone is very blunt. Why is it necessary to match English? Of course, I also consider the convenience of global sales, but since it is "Chinese design, made in China," why aren't Chinese headphones on the mainland sold?

2, leakage situation. I personally test and let my colleagues listen to music. With normal volume, we can hear the sound content within 30 centimeters from the headset (just switch to pure bone conduction mode). Of course, it can be understood that, after all, open headphones, but personally feel that in terms of sound insulation can be further strengthened!

3, the position of the ear hook is still somewhat hard. If you can design something softer, it will reduce its presence and will be more comfortable!


Suggest:

1, can design storage space. Put the headset with memory space, do not need to be large, the size of the design 2G on it, so that can be used independently as an audio player (or invisible U disk) can also be used as headphones, practical performance is no doubt A lot of enhancements.

2, whether the price can be closer to the people. As a running circle is still a famous celebrity runner, it is often better to wear headphones when consulting sports. Before I contact this headset, I would like to give everyone advice: It is best not to wear headphones! Especially at night!

The landlord tried to wear this headset for some time. He felt it was good and he started recommending it to some runners. They all felt good when they read the presentation, but when they saw the price, they felt a bit high (although there were still a few people Bought). If we can properly reduce the price with a certain percentage of profits, we can allow more people to accept the product.

the above! !
