Review "Aero Wireless"!
The biggest advantage of wireless earphones is the ease of handling and lightness due to small size.This comfort and trade -off are the delays that the sound can be heard delayed from the video.Various measures have been taken, such as improving the AptX LL (LOW LATENCY) codec of low delay.
The "Aero Wireless" (AERO) introduced this time is a completely wireless earphone that uses low -delay algorithms developed by the audio brand XROUND in Taiwan.There are two types of operating mode, "Music Mode" and "Game Mode", and is characterized by a low -delay communication of about 50 ms at a minimum in the game mode.
In order to reduce delays, one solution is one solution, but the weak point is that it cannot be used unless both playback devices and earphones support the same codec.Aero is only compatible with standard codecs such as SBC and AAC, and it is said that it is realized by optimizing the decoding of both.SBC is a standard codec used by almost all current smartphones, so you can benefit from low delay without worry.
The main specifications include the frequency bandwidnament 20 to 20,000 Hz, the sensitivity 103db, the impedance is 16Ω, Bluetooth 5.0, communication profile is AVRCP 1.6, HSP 1.2, HFP 1.7, A2dp 1.3.Supports 1.Built -in 6mm titanium liver and microphone, it has dust -proof and drip -proof performance equivalent to IP54.The maximum communication distance is about 10m, the weight is about 4 left and right..2G.The actual selling price is around 13,000-4000 yen.
This time, I will focus on the feeling of use by focusing on the biggest feature of this unit, "low delay".
Compatible with individual touch operations on the left and right
The delay when connecting a smartphone and a complete wireless earphone is said to be about 220ms (± 50ms) in the case of SBC codec, but in Aero's game mode, this is shortened to about 50ms.
In XROUND, this low -delay technology is called "XROUND LOW LATENCY", which optimizes codec decoding by combining chip structures and low -delay algorithm, and improves the processing speed on the receiving side.In the company's blog post, it suggests a 54ms measured value as a delay in the game mode.
Before mentioning the feeling of use, let's explain the touch function installed by Aero.The stick -shaped parts protruding from the AERO body have a touch panel on the surface, and the functions are different with the left and right touch panels.The touch panel on the right is a mode switch, and the left is the surround function ON/OFF.Both are specifications that can be switched by long touch the touch panel for 2 seconds.
In addition, the top and bottom swipe operation of the touch panel is assigned to the right and song feeding/song return to the left.These operations can change the assignment content with the XROUND device common application "MyTune".This touch panel tends to inadvertently touch and operate unintended when you hold your earphones in your hand, so be sure to have a side when removing it from a charging case.
The pairing with the device is the type that is executed when storing the charging case.Open the charging case cover and press and hold the round function button inside to shift to pairing mode.
As far as I tried this time, I felt that charging was needed at the timing of using it for about half a day.If you do not use it in a charging case, it will be unlikely that the battery runs out when it is important.
The earpieces are "Spinfit", which emphasizes the wearing feeling, and three sets of sound insulation earpieces each with a different size.In the initial state, the M size of the sound insulation earpiece is installed.The sound insulation earpiece tends to hurt your ears when you wear it for a long time, so if you use it for a long time at home, it is recommended to replace it with Spinfit.
Active in competitive shooters whose slightly delay is different
While using Bluetooth earphones, delays are a problem, for example, lip sinks and severe timing during game play.
So what are the differences between how to hear "music mode" and "game mode" and delays?In conclusion, when I tried "Pubg Mobile", there was a clear difference in delay.
It's not just about "Pubg Mobile", but the shooter -based title is important to accurately grasp the sound of sound.For example, if you can quickly grasp the direction and distance of gunshots and footsteps, you will be able to move with awareness of encounters with the enemy, and there is room to judge whether or not to throw a grenade into the building or rush into a beehive at once.Is born.
The problem is that the sound delay is a state where you can only hear the footsteps without seeing the enemy.The fact that the footsteps can be heard means that the enemy is moving, so if the sound is delayed, there is a gap between the position and the actual position that sounds.
The difference is whether the gap is 200 milliseconds or 50 milliseconds.The smaller the gap, the faster the reaction when the enemy is seen, and the smaller the operation to aim for, the smaller operation.
To put it simply, the game mode is a function that can only fill the subtle difference, but the difference can be a big difference in life and death in situations where a continuous moment is required.At least the number of bullets that can be shot will increase by one or two.
If the difference in delay is difficult to understand, any app can be used, so if you tap the button or move the cursor, try switching the mode when the sound is heard.If it is a game mode, the time from the screen to hear the sound is faster for a moment than in the music mode.
In the case of Aero, the direction of sound is easy to understand, and it is almost accurate to express whether the vehicle driving sound and gunshot are from, the enemy position is the upper floor of the building or the position right over the wall.Because it gives me, it is easy to make a short -term movement plan.
Regarding the lip sync of the video mentioned above, I could not experience the delay in the music mode, so it seems good to switch to game mode only when playing shooters and sound games.
In the application for enjoying music and videos, I could not find any differences in my ears even if I switched between music mode and game mode, but when I enabled the surround function of the left ear, the difference was clearly felt.。It is natural because it is a surround, but the sound has a three -dimensional effect and the power increases.I can't say it in general because there is a preference for how to hear the sound, but I always seemed to be ON.
Low delayed play even with a stationary machine in conjunction with Bluetooth transmitter
XROUND is a USB connection Bluetooth 5 as an accessory to improve the convenience of the wireless audio environment..0 Transmitter "XT01" is available.If you connect to a PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, etc., you will be able to use Bluetooth devices, so you can apply headphones and earphones familiar with smartphones to various game environments.XROUND has a comprehensive low -delay environment by using AERO, but it is not a dedicated accessories.
The codec supports SBC and AAC as well as APTX and APTX LL.AVRCP 1 is the corresponding communication profile.6 and A2dp 1.3.1.Native is a USB Type-C connection, but a conversion adapter for USB Type-A is also included.3.Includes an external microphone with a 5mm pin jack.The nominal maximum communication distance is about 15m.
Although it is a slightly niche-positioned product, there are not many types of USB Type-C-connected transmitter for AptX LL, so it is welcome to have more options.
The high -level sound quality and the versatility without habit are attractive
AERO pushes for gaming due to low -delay performance that does not depend on the environment, but the sound quality is also a high level at a high level, so it is actually suitable for daily applications to enjoy music and videos.increase.
During the trial period, when I wasn't playing the game, I kept my Netflix apps.This time, I tried it with a shooter game app, but the low -delay game mode can benefit from rhythm games, so it is a product that can be especially recommended for those who often play such a game app.
