Victor's complete wireless earphone "HA-FW1000T" that uses a wood dome carbon dynamic plate
The Victor's "HA-FW1000T" (released in November 2021/about 39,600 yen) is a new product that is broken into the TWS boom.In addition to high -quality sound technology such as wooden "wood dome carbon dynamic plate", "K2 technology" that restores compressed sound sources equivalent to high -resolution, newly developed "Spiral Dot PRO earpiece", adopting hybrid noise canceling (NC) technology.The place where many functions are attracting attention.Verify that ability.
The kimo of HA-FW1000T is "sound".There are quite a few TWS earphones that emphasize sound quality, but most of them use chemical synthetic diaphragms, and there are no natural materials.Victor puts in a wooden diaphragm that he is good at, and aims to differentiate it.
The wooden diaphragm is a wooden dome carbon dynamic plate manufactured with the same technology as the wired flagship earphone "HA-FW10000" (released in 2018/actual sold in about 185,990 yen).Strength is secured by combining a 50 μm wooden dome that is cut out by a unique thin film processing technology, and a carbon -coated PET diaphragm from the hippopotamus, which has excellent sound propagation speed and vibration attenuation characteristics.While maintaining the strength of the center, the outer periphery is flexible, and the certainty of a 11mm diameter dynamic driver is proven by HA-FW10000.
Immediately, I tried to listen to the Sharp's Android smartphone "AQUOS R6".The HA-FW1000T supports the latest audio codec "Qualcomm AptX Adaptive" and can be played to 96kHz/24bit.There are still few devices that support this specification, and the power of AQUOS R6 is required to listen in the best environment.
However, any playback application cannot be played 96kHz/24bit, but you must prepare an application that can communicate with the Android OS audio layer and a data rate of 96kHz/24bit or more.In the case of AQUOS R6, 48kHz/16bit is the upper limit for classic apps such as "ONKYO HF Player", so this time we use the local file playback of the "YouTube Music" application.
The sound is the impression that it has a precision and tension in the gentleness.The resolution is firm from the low range to the mid -high range, and the convergence of the snare attack is quick and there is no bleeding in the outline of the sound.The arpeggio of the acoustic guitar is moderately unraveled, and the boxing sounds moderately.
The basic sound character has a part that leads to the HA-FW10000 of the wired earphone, especially with low-range instruments such as bass and bath drums.The subtle reverb and echo in the high -frequency direction are carefully depicted, and there is room for sound field expressions such as the spread of left and right and depth.
The effects of "K2 technology" mounted on many JVC products have been confirmed.K2 technology is a modified information lost in the process of compressing the sound source, and it is JVC Kenwood/Victor's unique sound quality improvement technology that approaches the original sound, and HA-FW1000T is applied to Bluetooth audio.
The K2 technology is enabled by default, and although the effect is difficult to notice, the song is slightly flat when turned off.Since it is disabled when using the AptX Adaptive codec, it seems to be a useful feature in the iPhone that is connected to AAC.
The included earpiece "Spiral Dot Pro" is also an important point in talking about sound quality.By providing some depressions inside, the reflector is diffused and suppresses the sound of the sound.It can be said that the fact that the earpiece is just fit is conscious of the NC function, or that the 5 sizes of S/MS/M/ML/L are included.
Another trend of TWS earphones is "Active noise Canceling (ANC)".When I was on a business trip to Osaka, I tried the operability of the HA-FW1000T NC, the effect on music playback, and the NC on/off.
First of all, from the feeling of use as a TWS earphone.Since it is equipped with a mounting sensor, it can be used simply by removing it from the charging case and inserting it into the ear.One side/both side use is also checked, and it is OK if only one side is taken out for voice calls or video conferences.The electronic sound that informs the perception is not tasty, but the usability after pairing is perfect.
Operability/mounting is also excellent.Since the operation is performed with a touch sensor, it may be a series of erroneous touch at first (tend to touch the right side and make it a gench -through mode), but it quickly gets used to it.The operation of lowering the volume on the left side with a double tap and increasing the volume with a triple tap is a great advantage that it can be fine -tuned (100 steps steps) by continuing to press after tapping.
Although it is an important NC, the running sound of the Shinkansen is greatly suppressed.The high -pitched sound is almost gone, and the low sound of the gor is reduced to the level that does not bother.Whether the band of the human voice is dared to leave, the voices of the people around me and the in -car announcement can be heard to some extent, but the sound like the ventilation fan will not be heard all the time.
However, while driving (stopped while stopping), a low sound was sometimes heard, and the sound of a specific frequency band was not reduced.I don't care at all when playing music, but you should be aware of it when using it instead of earplugs.
The "HA-FW1000T" is a perfect wireless, no-can-compatible, and a high-resolution-specific 96kHz/24bit AptX Adaptive, and a specifications that are close to "the latest trends".If the wood dome carbon dynamic plate manufactured with the same technology as Victor's flagship earphone and HA-FW10000 will increase, the expectation will increase, but it is certain that it is a perfection that does not disappoint.
The special note is the sound.Because it uses wood, it does not appeal to the prejudice, such as natural and soft, but tighten the place where the low frequency range should be tightly tightened while feeling the characteristics of the material, and extends the place to extend it in the high frequency range.It was a good impression that the tuning was faithful to the basics.Especially when using AptX Adaptive (including 48kHz/24bit playback), there was room for the texture and spatial expression of the low frequency range, and I was able to realize the benefits of high -resolution/lossless sound sources.
On the other hand, NC is slightly mild.Even if you choose an earpiece that fits your ears, you will feel a distinctive noise while traveling by train, such as a Shinkansen, and you will want to reduce the number of dbs from the surrounding people.As NC is becoming an essential element for the product called earphones, it may be time to establish its own technology and know -how as a manufacturer/brand.
But this sound.If you know the 96kHz/24bit AptX Adaptive, it is clear that the lossless/high -resolution sound source will be spicy in other codecs.It's a TWS earphone that makes you feel like "this is good" rather than "this is fine".
