In early December 2017, Dainco launched a falcon with a liquid metal shell and a carbon nanotube diaphragm at a price of 1,000 yuan (1,280 yuan). After nearly four years, the brand launched the falcon in September this year. The evolution version-Falcon PRO, the official guide price is 1380 yuan.
Relative to the first generation, the shell of the new Falcon PRO has not evolved, but has returned to the more common "stainless steel" in the industry.
However, due to the outstanding design, the sense of materiality actually outperformed the first generation by a large margin. If it is thrown on the ground, the first-generation Falcon still needs to be wiped and wiped to make it look good, and the Falcon PRO will be more valuable even if it has fingerprints or scratches.
This generation of Falcon PRO has a relatively large upgrade in terms of shell design, acoustic performance, and wire.
In addition, its "hardware configuration" is very competitive within 1500 yuan, coupled with the brand history and after-sales quality, from a sales perspective, it will definitely be a model that merchants are willing to promote.
The yellow paper shell is a bit confusing, it is not like Dainke. I am more interested in the cool silver packaging of the original Falcon.
semi-transparent white paper is already standard in the packaging of Dainco's current mid-to-high-end headphones.
will give people a sense of mystery and strengthen the valuable attributes of commodities.
line thickness is average,Suitable for going out and convenient.
The thread skin has high transparency, combined with the silver core of the thread, it will have a star-like beauty. In addition, this line will have a certain dazzling look even in not so bright light, which is suitable for fashionable people.
There are rich accessories, four kinds of earmuffs (treble, bass, vocal, equalization), more than the three of the first generation Falcon.
The "three-color small circle" used with the detachable catheter reminds me of Dainke's 2013 ring iron creation DN1000, vaguely remember that there is this little thing on the DN1000.
quick-change plugs (3.5, 4.4, 2.5)
also comes with a 6.35mm adapter and a good quality suede wipe cloth with scarce HIFI rings.
The actual experience is very good, and it is faster and simpler than the similar design of FiiO , which is suitable for people like me.
align with the arrow mark, insert it directly, and lock it with a little force.
DUNU's logo design is still so common, in addition to that, the detailed design and craftsmanship of Falcon PRO can be described as superior.
together with MMCX expansion pins with excellent stability. This headset gave me enough psychological security and satisfaction with the value of the product.
comes with 3 pairs of detachable tuning ducts, which are transparent, atmosphere enhanced, and reference. The “reference” duct is installed by default.
3 pairs of catheters with 4 kinds of earmuffs, you can have more and subtle changes in tones. This is also a design plan that is very pleasing to HIFI fans at the price of one thousand yuan.
According to my personal preference, the transparent tube + standard balanced earmuffs are better.
As for the standard version, although its sound is very durable, it occasionally feels less irritating (exciting), and it is not particularly suitable for instruments in the mid-to-high range or overtone presentation.
The cavity part has a slight weight. But perhaps because of the relatively flat design, it does not have the feeling of the "Meteor Hammer" of the brand's DN1000 and DN2000 era 8 years ago.
Falcon PRO's MMCX terminal socket and male connector are firmly combined, and after plugging in, it can be rotated smoothly 360°, which makes its use around the ears significantly better than some Fixed design with 0.78mm double needle. If the design of the latter is not reasonable enough, it will cause a situation that is not conducive to the attachment of the earhook to the skin, and then affect the stability and comfort of wearing.
The design of the pressure relief hole is quite special, and it is estimated that a lot of work was spent during the development period...
Falcon PRO shell and falcon,In terms of contour and volume, there seems to be no difference.
The wearing experience is basically the same, but in terms of touch, Falcon PRO is even more beautiful.
The matching of the earmuffs and the cavity catheter is very high.
is easy to install and easy to disassemble. It is also very stable and will not fall when you take off the earphones everyday. These details show the strength of the manufacturer (after all, the old brand).
The greatest charm of Falcon PRO, from a visual point of view, is the pattern derived from luxury leather goods...
In the sandblasting and frosted processing methods, the logo pattern must be taken care of The size, accuracy, symmetry and aesthetics of the...
is really hard...
If time goes back two years ago, I would never have thought that these design elements would come from Dasonic.
In short, today's Dayink has been transformed inside and out, and it is the light of domestic products.
This angle is very beautiful.
It is worth mentioning that the logo of the outer panel will reflect light under the change of light. Although it is very subtle, it strengthens the sense of luxury and elegance, and it will indeed give people a "metal luxury". impression.
currently has headphones of this design, and Dainco may be the only one.
Like the FINAL B series in Japan, the panel of the Dayink Falcon Pro (above) also has a visual perception similar to "ripples" that is not smooth enough, which is exposed to a larger area of light , And when you change the angle, you will notice it.
But usually, you will not realize it.
I think in a few years, with the upgrading of processing technology, this small problem may be solved?
One detail that is quite impressive is that after removing the catheter of the Falcon Pro, you can see that there is a "metal filter" installed inside the cavity connected to it.
Earphones of similar design that I have come into contact with in the past are not protected here. Once the catheter is removed, it means that the inside is completely exposed, and there will be concerns about use, fearing that dirt will get in.
In short, this detailed design is a plus.
This is the inner filter of the cavity. The visual assembly process is superior.
The quality of this part, I don't think I have to choose.
The inner cavity looks quite amazing. No less than the outside.
Let's talk about the sound:
The sensitivity of Falcon Pro has reached 110.It is matched with the iphone XR (direct push), Shanling M6 21 version, and M6 PRO 21 version. It satisfies me in terms of loudness and full-frequency fullness. But it's not particularly sensitive. After all, TFZ's dynamic headphones are even more perverted.
Burn-in Necessity: In general, it is good at first hearing.
Sound insulation: Generally, in earphones, it can barely block the intrusion of some mid-bass noise, but it is not a problem when the music is turned on.
with front-end: from Sony XK to mobile phones with a slightly better sound, to higher-end HIFI players, it can produce good sound, its sound is not weird, it is relatively stable, and does not flutter. It is a wild HIFI backend.
sound description (based on transparent tube + standard gray balanced reference earmuffs)
seems to continue the first generation of ears that are slightly tighter: Slightly partial quality of hearing.
There is a slight increase in the power of the middle and lower plate, the intermediate frequency transient is slightly affected, the treble transition is natural, the full frequency is basically non-irritating, durable, and softer, slightly tight.
The tone is slightly warmer, not cold, and not hard. Most concerts are very emotional, but if you encounter music that emphasizes a sense of space and quietness, its slightly thicker bass may affect the lightness and transparency.
However, this so-called "impact" is also based on my comparison with other headphones (pictured above). Today's thousand-yuan headphones are generally "universal" listening.Unless you're very picky, it's nothing.
The human voice is more flesh-and-blood, but it is not a very lively and cheerful kind. In addition, it is not a sharp, gorgeous style. The timbre is different from Dayinco SA6, ZEN and ZEN PRO.
The vocal and instrument fundamentals are solid, with a strong sense of density and a moderate sense of distance. This part (hard power) is better than some coils or moving coils in this price range.
The horizontal sound field is quite good, the vertical space is average, and it sounds "short" to a certain extent. If you use a higher volume under a balanced plug, it will get better.
If you have high requirements for sound field, separation, and positioning, the Falcon PRO under the 3.5mm plug will sound relatively ordinary. It is recommended to use it under the 4.4mm plug to feel its "full blood" state. However, even so, its high-frequency dynamics, volume and extension are not amazing (relative to competing products). Its mid-to-high frequency is more of a natural extension based on "high density", which can withstand loud sound pressure. , The big dynamic boom and baptism without a trace of disorder.
Falcon PRO is better than K3003 in full frequency density, scale, fullness, naturalness (especially in the middle and high frequency), and the low frequency volume is not much different.
In fact, the Dayinco DK3001 has even surpassed the K3003 many years ago. Now it seems that the hard quality of the K3003 is not as good as the domestically made earplugs of more than 1,000 yuan. Recall that when the K3003 was first launched on the market, it was praised by reviewers on domestic technology websites for its "huge sound field". Now...
Falcon PRO has better bass control and a deeper dive. The volume is slightly more . The clarity and softness of the middle and bottom plate should surpass that of the Baiyacherland map, and the high-frequency style is somewhat different, and the dynamics are slightly inferior to that of the Shierland map. In general, if the HIFI standard is used,Combined with the acoustic bonus of the accessories, it is to win half the grade of the Xie Lan map (3000 yuan +).
Compared with domestic counterparts, such as NFAUDIO NA2+, the resolution (transient, dynamic) of Falcon PRO is slightly inferior. It is stronger than the thickness of the bass, the control, the naturalness of the high frequency and the softness of the human voice. In addition, a wealth of accessories and excellent plug configuration also win over NA2+.
Contrast sound memory SM2. The prices of the two are almost the same. The SM2's tuning is very complete, solid and pure at full frequency, natural and accurate in the middle and high frequencies, and the subtle sound has a physical feel. The overall quality is a little bit smooth, and the tone is smooth, non-irritating, and non-exciting. Slightly flat, the Falcon PRO is relatively thick, and the bottom plate will have more impactful power in certain ranges, and it is more likely to explode the sense of scale, but the Falcon PRO takes more care of the sense of hearing in the mid to high frequency range. , Audible and elegant, it is unlikely to focus on the details of the contours like the SM2. In short, both are powerful players, but the Falcon PRO has a balanced plug (accessory) blessing. If the Falcon PRO is listening in this form, the 3.5-plug SM2 will be more dangerous. After all, the Falcon PRO in the balanced mode will be more complete.
Compared with QoA adonis (circle iron), adonis's stretched hearing, sound field, separation degree , high-frequency over-volume and low-volume of musical instruments are better than Falcon PRO (3.5mm plug), and it will take off However, adonis comes standard with a 3.5-plug cable, which makes the above advantages not so good in front of the 4.4-plug Falcon PRO. However, the separation is still the characteristic of the adonis ring earphone. In addition, the authenticity of female voices, The soft beauty is also the strong point of adonis. On the contrary, the Falcon pro seems lacking in aura. Finally, adonis has a greater low-volume feel than Falcon Pro, but it has a slightly lower potential, and the bass cohesion, vocal and treble density are also slightly inferior to Falcon PRO.
Generally speaking, Falcon PRO sounds very "stable". Its acoustic bricks are densely packed.Very neat. Under the 3.5mm plug, it is unassuming and not so gorgeous.
Generally, it is stronger than smoother lines, high density and natural pitch. If it is based on the 4.4 balance mouth, it will give out brilliant details at the quality level. Under some simple popular tracks, its listening experience even surpasses ZEN PRO occasionally, which impresses me.
Falcon PRO is better than the original Falcon in terms of sense of scale, relaxation and information, and the rich, high-quality practical accessories are even more powerful weapons than the original Falcon, and even some competing products.
