Thanks to Defan Technology for hosting the KANN MAX player audition event, which allowed me to hear the latest Hex Technology, who are living in remote areas. Many old players will definitely think of the classic spaceship series when they mentioned Ali and the brand. Ali and the spaceship in their student days also opened up my enlightenment HFII awareness. In recent years, Ali and the Ali have rejuvenated and launched a number of players that I can't afford. The Ali and the new phones are updated much faster than the growth rate of my wallet. The price has always been at the ceiling level of HIFI portable players. The recently launched KANN The MAX player is an acceptable budget range. This player is a mid-range product in the Ailey model, with a price of less than 10,000 yuan. It still has a clear design, metal process and full interface configuration. It is equipped with AK's latest flagship quad-core matrix DAC architecture. Specifically, by independently aligning the four ESS ES9038Q2M with the four amplification channels.
Unboxing and details:
The KANN MAX listened to this time is a bare metal, so there is no way to unboxing for everyone. The KANN MAX player is a little heavier and thicker than the mobile phone. It is very suitable for pockets in terms of body size and weight. It is stress-free when holding it with one hand, and it is very convenient to go out.
KANN MAX uses a 4.1-inch 720 x 1280 touch screen, which is certainly incomparable to the high-resolution 4K screen in today's mobile phone field, but it is more than enough for a pure sound player to use it in daily life.
KANN MAX adopts a cutting-like design. The machine has a strong sense of edges and corners. It is still very attentive in the key design. The upper right is the scroll wheel volume knob. Compared with the traditional volume knob design, the probability of accidentally touching is greatly reduced, and it is also very silky and smooth when operating.
Three keys are set on the left side of the body, corresponding to the previous song, play\pause, and the next song. If you want to cut the song, you can complete it by pressing the button. The switching speed is very fast, the keys are very comfortable, and the operation is very smooth.
There are 2.5mm, 4.4mm, 3.5mm interfaces and power switch keys on the top of the body. The bottom part of the fuselage is arranged with interface areas, namely the TYPE-C interface and the TF bayonet.
UI design and operations:
KANN MAX's UI design is relatively beautiful, the interface is simple and clear, and there are no obstacles to getting started. This is also the design style of Ailly and family. The overall design is simple, and I personally think it is also the best design language.
KANN MAX adopts an operation mode that combines physical buttons and touch screens. The interface is very beautiful. The built-in audio adjustment module has a very rich function, including various gain options. Songs are classified according to folders, singer names, favorites, and artists, and are suitable for different user groups.
KANN MAX's overall sound still retains the blood of Aili and Yizhi. The style of KANN MAX is a bit popular and the quality of the portable body has reached a very high level. Why is this so? This has a lot to do with the positioning of KANN MAX. KANN MAX is a positioning portable. Compared with its flagship player, it pays more attention to popular style music. KANN MAX has a strong sense of edges and edges, high frequency transparent, crisp, clean and unblemished. In terms of style, I personally think it is more refined. The mid frequency is thick and the lines of the voice are clear. The vocals are slightly modified and dyed to restore the real and have a certain hearing resistance, giving people a good sense of liveness. The low frequency is relatively balanced, and the details of the low frequency are also very rich, with clear layers and accurate positioning of the instrument. In terms of resolution, the detailed sound can be restored and displayed. KANN MAX is very suitable for popular music, and of course there are no obvious shortcomings in other aspects.
In terms of earbud matching, KANN MAX matches several earbuds in hand, Senhai IE500PRO, Viston X20, DC4 four-unit customization, DN2000J, ER4B/S, and try to find some plugs of different styles to test the matching style suitable for KANN MAX.
KANN MAX should choose some low-frequency solid plugs. For example, Senhai IE500PRO can better exert its strength. KANN MAX paired with thick plugs will make up for the volume and momentum of low-frequency. Test multiple earplugs. KANN MAX is completely competent for high-resistance earplugs, and ER4B is effortless.
Intermediate frequency solution is recommended to match plugs that focus on texture and line feel in human voice. High frequency is recommended to fit plugs of thickness. Of course, different plugs are also completely different in listening styles with KANN MAX, and they are also determined based on personal taste.
Summary:
KANN MAX player has a very good operating system experience. You can install music playback software, but installing QQ music is indeed lagging, and it also requires the powerful CPU to support it. Combining sound, workmanship, control, cost-effectiveness, and gameplay, the price of 10,000 yuan is also competitive.
