Joint name into custom routines JBL UA FLEX sports Bluetooth headset evaluation

Talking about sports brands, I believe that in addition to Nike and Adidas, In Armour will be remembered in recent years. Thanks to its more professional background, athletes signed in recent years have performed very well in their respective fields. It can be said that there is no time for the limelight. Such a fiery brand, of course, will not miss the opportunity to expand the market, so they are also aiming at sports-related brands, and have begun to join hands to do some joint products.

Perhaps based on the fact that more and more like friends listening to music in the sport depending on the habit has been established, and perhaps because of the success of the last JBLxUA Bluetooth sports headset, Under Armour chose the same from the United States, the world's largest professional speaker manufacturer JBL as a partner, once again launched a joint new product, this is what we want to introduce today - JBL × Under Armour FLEX (hereinafter referred to as FLEX) sports Bluetooth headset. (Official guide price 1299) One is dedicated to the use of comfort and scientific The sports brand, one of the forces that cannot be ignored in the audio field, can the sparks of the cooperation between the two companies collide?

Appearance & Details: Appropriate American Fashion

There are friends who started Under Armour shoes and clothing products, should notice that a cool black is their theme color. Similarly, FLEX's packaging is also based on the use of black as the main color, the product hard photos through the shade and light changes, Create a sense of a harmonious combination of science, technology, and sports. A model that directly displays the product's hard photos is also a convenient way for the user to see the product in a more intuitive manner.

FLEX uses an uncovered package. After opening the package lid, we can see that the FLEX product body is embedded in a black suede hard sponge. Under the package, we can also find the accessories needed for FLEX, and Related application instruments.

The biggest difference from the last cooperation product is that FLEX has adopted the now popular neck-hanging design. On the one hand, this can reduce the pressure on the ear and improve comfort; on the other hand, the neck-hanging headphones can The embellishment effect was more intuitive. Focusing on the FLEX body, a flexible silicone wrap around the collar was used and a nanocoating was used on top. This design not only allowed the collar to have a certain amount of stress resistance. The use of nano-coatings gives the headphones a waterproof, sweat-proof feature that not only keeps them dry, but also keeps the headphone structure in use for a long time.

The operating area of ​​the headset is also placed on both ends of the collar. The buttons on the left are the switch/Bluetooth pairing/playback pause, and the outgoing voice assistant/warning light is on; the right button is the volume increase/decrease. It must be said that Under Armour is Sports experts, deeply understand the physical buttons of a large area of ​​rubber bedding, for the convenience of the sports people.

There is also a warning light or you think there is no big problem with the ambient light. The built-in LED light strip is placed behind the collar. For those who like to run at night, the light is added to the rear of the night runner. Obvious warning effect, and there are three flash modes to choose from. The sequence is to turn on the security light, flashing and faster blinking, and then press again to turn off the security light. Add three different modes for a small light, in my It seems that the purpose is to be able to adapt to differences in brightness or environment.

In addition to the warning light, there is some design behind the collar. The micro-USB charging port of the earphone is placed in the middle lower position. The collar middle position can be adjusted elastically to accommodate different neck thickness. Different occasions, the user's requirements for the tightness of the headset.

The cavity design consists of three parts: the earmuffs, the ear flaps and the cavity. We can see that after the split, the FLEX is still longer in the catheter length, which is due to the ability to install the ear wing design. The catheter is equipped with a deflection design and fits the ear flaps, which allows the headset to conform to the shape of the ear socket, which greatly improves the stability of the wear.

The FLEX cavity is a short cylindrical shape. In addition to the Under Armour logo, the attentive friend can find a tuning hole in the side of the cavity, reflecting JBL as a major audio manufacturer in the cavity. Structural considerations for sound performance. At the same time, magnets are attached to both sides of the chamber, which allows the user to connect the two chambers together when they do not need to use the headphones for a while, forming a 'necklace' that eliminates similarities. Real wireless headsets must be cumbersome to put the recycling box.

Listen to the short commentary: American tone is not violent

When it comes to sports headphones, some friends may feel that it is time to move. Indeed, FLEX's low-frequency performance is quite good, but this performance can not be achieved by simply enhancing the low-frequency feel. FLEX low-frequency emission On the average headset is a little bit too big, but compared to the previous JBLxUA 1.5 is significantly less, when used in sports, this bass can just give up the atmosphere of music. With good flexibility, can be said that FLEX Low-frequency performance is enough to stimulate your sports enthusiasm, but it won't produce too much fatigue after listening for a long time.

Perhaps because of the outstanding low-frequency effect, FLEX makes people feel slightly awkward in the mid-term review. It is not the kind of ear-specific performance. But the density of the midrange is still quite good, so it can effectively hold up the performance of vocals. Even outside of sports. The time to listen to pop music with FLEX, the performance is still very good.

Some friends may feel that after listening to some sports headphones, because the sports headphones generally enhance the performance of low-middle frequencies, the high frequency of sports headphones, whether it is extension or brightness, is not comparable to that of ordinary music headphones. FLEX performance can be As the reverse of these inherent impressions, even though they did not do their homework with high frequency extension and brightness like some music headphones, FLEX's high-frequency extensions are at least a natural and comfortable performance. There are no glitches and the brightness is still relatively low. Bright and refreshing type.

In general, using FLEX to listen to some ordinary studio pop albums, whether it is three-frequency performance, the degree of separation of sound and resolving power, the sound field space is mellow, the permeability is better than similar sports headphones. It is not only the credit of the tuning hole opened in the cavity, but also the crystallized technology that JBL precipitated for many years.

PConline evaluation room summary

Some friends will feel that true wireless headsets eliminate the last line connecting the two sides of the headset, allowing users to experience an unfettered music experience. But in more intense sports situations, true wireless headsets still have to be thrown out of their ears. Possibility. But back to FLEX, although it has a number of reinforcements such as ear flaps, the collar structure is destined to use under particularly bumpy and intense sports. The collar will still prove its existence, but it is like The experience of this type of exercise is very good. It is precisely because of the low pressure on the ears and good sound insulation, Lao Huang will still use it as a commuter headphone during the trip.

In order not to let the structure of the headphones form a sporty situation, Under Armour and JBL teamed up and considered quite a lot of details. Therefore, FLEX has a lot of highlights whether it is wearing or listening, if you are looking for a fit. If you are an Under Armour fan and want to put together a 'God', then this headset is definitely worth considering.
