Recently, the new sub-brand of Kinera, Fengming Tianyin Celest, has released the second tablet earbud - Iron Eater, which is priced at 399. I don’t know if it’s because it’s not enough attention to the headphone market, or if the current manufacturers are expected to roll out, the price of flat earplugs has reached less than 500. It really surprised me.
has basically never been exposed to Kinera's era before. It is limited to familiarity. The appearance design of Kinera's home still has its own style. However, I have been exposed to her sister brand QoA. Both brands seem to be doing better in Japan. As a new sub-brand, Fengming Tianyin Celest currently has only two plugs on the market, both of which are flat earplugs, and their positioning is not high.
The one I have in my hand is a recently launched Iron Eater Beast. The design is full of Chinese-style animation elements, and the consumer targets seem to be targeted at groups such as teenagers or playful and cute girls. It doesn't look like a serious HIFI earbuds, and it seems difficult to hold for a middle-aged man like me. My favorite for this plug is more about its inner sound, not its external beauty.
Iron Eater's panel uses
Although there are not many accessories for the Iron Eater Beast, there are all things you should have. In addition to the common 221 voice cover, 608 balance cover and cleaning rod, there is also a beige leather elastic storage bag with brand LOGO with artistic fonts. The feel of this storage bag is really good. The texture is definitely not inferior to that of the thousand-yuan level accessories. It also comes with a metal bookmark of the Iron Eater Beast, which should be the rarest accessory.
Iron Eater uses a standard 0.78 connector and is equipped with a four-strand twisted OCF wire, with moderate thickness. It is softer, will not harden in winter, and there is no obvious auscultation effect. However, there is currently only 3.5 single-ended, and there is no 4.4 balanced version like the Nine-Tails. I wonder if there will be a balanced version in the later stage.
Iron Eater Beast uses a square tablet unit of Kinera SPD 2.0, which is an overall increase of 3 dB compared to the Nine-tailed SPD 1.0 unit, and it is officially known as the "tablet that is easy to promote on mobile phones". It is really easy to use after using it. Compared to the TinHiFi P1 Plus flat earbuds I used before, it is indeed easier to drive. There is no requirement for the thrust at the front end, and it is enough to match it with a small tail of about 500.
Talk about the sound, the first ear gives me a great sound, especially the low-frequency part. Overall, the taste of the sound is more in line with the positioning of this earbud, and the warm sound style is more in line with the taste of the first roast, and it is also a style that is more easily accepted by the public. Keep the flat plate loose and make the low frequency full, soft and Q-super. No matter whether you are an enthusiast or not, you will not resist such a voice.
Iron Eater Beast is in the upper and lower distribution of the three-frequency bands. The low frequency and vocal part are the main players. The high frequency is not outstanding, but it also fully plays the supporting role. The low frequency has sufficient volume sense but does not show fatness, and the strength is just right. The drum beats do not feel very condensed, and there is a slight dispersion. You can feel that the drumstick hits are softer, the rebound is neither tight nor slow, and the relaxation is moderate, which sounds very comfortable. There seem to be not many people who can make the low frequency so soft and comfortable within a thousand yuan.
The mid-frequency voice is relatively close, and it is more enthusiastic to touch the ears. The density of the vocals is not high or thick, it is delicate enough, with moderate brightness and sweetness, and both male and female voices can express good sound characteristics. Overall, it maintains a relatively warm and neutral style, which is different from some flat earplugs with sweet and bright vocals, which may not sound that toxic. It feels like the young lady’s voice doesn’t sound that sweet, and the male voice doesn’t look so young.But I feel that this kind of hearing may be more realistic, more natural and pleasant, and I won’t feel tired of it.
does not have many highlights in high frequency, and it feels quite regular, soft, smooth and not irritating, the resolution is not very strong, and the amount of information is not large. Maintain a relatively natural transition, and the stronger ones should be stronger ones should be weaker. The transition of levels is relatively smooth and natural.
The sound field is not large in scale, and the circular sound field has a clear sense of encirclement and boundary. Overall, the tuning of this earbud does not emphasize quality too much, but is more inclined toward hearing. The sound of hearing is quite soulful, with better quality and more convincing.
Iron Eater Beast may not necessarily have an advantage in quality when facing competitors of the same price. But its tuning has its unique features. The excellent low frequency can impress more consumers. Even if they are not enthusiasts or have little understanding of the sound, they can still like it.
Summary:
The appearance design of the Iron Eater Beast is still relatively creative and novel. This style is more suitable for young people of fashion, and seems to be born specifically for groups like students.
The tuning style of the Iron Eater is still significantly different from the several tablets I have come into contact with in the past. Its sound is warm and not so fresh and bright. The distribution of the three-band frequency is also in the middle and lower disk. Its low frequency is very convincing, and it is better than many dynamic coils within a thousand yuan. It has changed my previous impression that the low frequency of flat earplugs is not strong.
Iron Eater Beast is positioned to be entry-level, priced at 399, and the price is quite affordable. But now, the price of tablet earplugs has dropped to less than 500, which really surprised me a little. The popular tuning of the iron-eating beast and the sound is also a style that the public likes. If you want to try flat earplugs for Chu Shao, the Iron Eater is indeed a very good choice.
