In 2016, iPhone 7 was released at Apple's Autumn New Product Launch Conference. In addition to vomiting its appearance, the elimination of the 3.5mm headphone jack has become an object of choice. From the MP3 era to the era of smart phones, people have been using wired headsets. And with the headset hole, suddenly canceled, so that has used the wired headset no place to stay, what? There is an adapter, oh, I do not know where to throw it. So, this is not simple The problem of canceling a headphone jack, but the problem of changing consumer habits.
A direct result of the phone's cancellation of the headphone jack is the achievement of the brilliance of the wireless headset. After a short period of one year, the wireless headset has achieved quite good results. The development of technology products has always been simple, portable, especially with our daily lives. Closely related to consumer electronics. An important feature of simplicity and portability is wireless. Without the constraints of the line, it is naturally more free.
This year on the MWC2018, Samsung released a flagship phone, the Galaxy S9/S9+, and also brought a new wireless headset, Gear lconX, to be released at the China conference on March 6. Now I got this headset and take a look at it. What is the performance?
Simple and fashionable, comfortable to wear
The first time I got Gear lconX, the first impression was that it was small, and the round box was very comfortable in my hand. When I wanted to listen to the songs in my bag, I had to live it out.
The top of the protection box is a Samsung LOGO. There are two small dots on the right and left sides for the headphone indicator. The middle is the protection cover open button. Press it to open the protection cover. The rear is the charging protection box indicator from left to right ( It will light when charging the protection box), SUB Type-C interface and Bluetooth connection button (press and phone to pair).
The Gear lconX is ergonomically designed and has an overall streamlined shape that is comfortable to wear and does not slip off. At the same time, Gear lconX also uses hypoallergenic materials that users can wear with confidence.
For color matching, Gear lconX is available in pink, gray and black to meet different consumer needs.
Convenient handling experience
I have always believed that the comfort of wearing and the convenience of handling are two very important characteristics of wireless headphones. As mentioned earlier, Gear lconX is still good in terms of wearability, and experience in handling is not disappointing. .
One thing I like about Gear lconX is that it can get rid of the phone and operate it independently. The Gear lconX earbud has a touchpad on the outside. Basically all the functions you want can be implemented on this touchpad. : Click, Play or Pause; double-click, next track; triple-click, previous track; double-click and hold, next play list; click and hold, read out menu option (can be voice controlled at this time); Slide, increase or decrease the volume. For call control, double-click to answer the call; click and hold to reject the call.
In addition, when you take off the earplugs on both sides, the music is automatically paused, and when you put it back on, it will continue to play paused music.
At the same time, using the Gear lconX touchpad can also start Bixby or your phone's default voice assistant.
Two modes of use, more freedom
The general wireless headset is connected to the mobile phone via Bluetooth to achieve the purpose of listening to music. Gear lconX also supports Bluetooth connection. In addition to connecting Bluetooth, even without the handset Gear lconX can also listen to music, which greatly enhances the practical use of Gear lconX Sex.
The reason why Gear lconX can be used independently from the phone is because it has built-in 4GB of storage capacity, so that users can directly download music to Gear lconX, and then play music stored on Gear lconX without affecting the quality of the original music file.
With Gear lconX's internal storage, users can not only download favorite songs, but also create custom lists such as 'Favorites' or 'Sports', double-click touchpad and then press and hold to jump to the next playlist.
It is still very practical to use Gear lconX to get rid of the independent mode of the mobile phone. For example, when the mobile phone is out of power; when there is no mobile phone and on the plane where the mobile phone is not allowed to open, or when running, it is very troublesome to carry the mobile phone. The independent mode of Gear lconX solves this problem and is very convenient and practical.
Your intimate fitness assistant
In addition to listening to the music, the wireless headset is a very important scene that is worn during fitness. It can get rid of the comfort of the wired headset cable, and thus more fully devoted to it. And Gear lconX said to solve the bondage of the mobile phone when exercising. Listening to music while exercising, and Gear lconX can do more than just these, it can also monitor your exercise data in real time as you exercise.
Gear lconX has an automatic tracking mode. When it detects that you are walking or jogging (at least 10 minutes walking or jogging), it will automatically record your exercise time, speed, distance, and calories burned. Users can monitor health at Samsung. Sports status, and for more intense sports, you can turn on the Gear APP and turn on voice guidance.
Users can set up a sports mode in advance on the Samsung Health App so that when you are running or exercising, Gear lconX can provide real-time voice feedback. Currently, Mandarin is already supported. Also, Gear lconX can automatically record exercise data with Samsung. Health APP synchronization.
Life and sound quality
In terms of battery life, Samsung officials claimed that in stand-alone mode, they can play music for up to 7 hours, but in Bluetooth mode, they can play 5 hours and talk time is 4 hours. I didn't specifically test, but I feel Gear lconX still in use. Relatively good.
As mentioned earlier, Gear lconX has a built-in battery inside the case, which can be used to charge the Gear lconX and charge for 1 hour for 10 minutes.
Since it is a wireless headset, the sound quality of Gear lconX is not much talked about here, but it is worth mentioning that Gear lconX provides more excellent sound through the larger speaker unit (5.8mm moving circle). Even when strenuous exercise, the sound can be very clear and delicate.
Conclusion: Wireless is undoubtedly the future trend, because it can provide people with a truly convenient, free, and flexible experience, and wireless headsets are in line with this trend and represent the future direction of development. This time, Samsung Gear lconX Exogenous or actual use gives people a very friendly experience. Without excessive learning costs, it solves real problems in people's lives. Caring and humanity are the sensations experienced by the writer over the past few days. It is technology that people need to feel.
