| Last time we reviewed the two mouse models of Xingji. For the brand of Xingji, you may still be a bit strange. The star is from the Italian e-sports peripheral brand, supported by GALAX GALAXY. The goal is to create an e-sports lifestyle. The products launched will be completely around the design of e-sports. So Star has launched a batch of peripheral products including mouse, keyboard, headphones, etc., then we are evaluating the star ice XH300-U headphones today. .  Although Xingji's brand philosophy is to create an e-sports lifestyle, the ambition of this ice XH300-U headset seems to be more than that, because it mainly plays music in addition to game performance, this is a game. The promotional point that headphones rarely see. First, let’s look at the price that consumers care most about. There are two versions. XH300 is priced at 549 yuan, and XH300-U is priced at 699 yuan. The connection is not cheap, the difference in configuration is that the XH300 has an exclusive 3.5mm one-two extension cable, and the XH300-U is equipped with a virtual 7.1 USB sound card. We are evaluating the XH300-U this time. version of.  First, let's take a look at this 40mm drive unit, which uses a polymer PAR diaphragm. 40mm neodymium iron boron moving coil unit First, it provides good hardware support for this headset, and is also provided on both sides of the headset. 3 levels of physical adjustment, can be used to enhance the low frequency volume The first gear is the standard volume, the second gear is increased by 3dB in the low frequency band of 20-200Hz, and the third gear is increased by 6dB in the same frequency band. In terms of volume, 6dB is not too large. Moderate adjustment is not too aggressive. This kind of earphone with direct adjustment of the bass by means of physical buttons, the advantage is that it does not need to download software, it can be plug and play, which seems to be rare in the market, it is worthy of praise. It should be noted that the gears on both sides should be Adjust to the same level, keep the volume of the same size of the left and right ears.  The XH300-U can perform another operation through the virtual 7.1 sound card. Press the button of the sound card with one button to let the headphones enter. Low frequency cancellation mode It can effectively remove low-frequency noise, make the sound of medium-high frequency more prominent, and ensure the operation of the gameplay such as listening to sound from the hardware.  The specific measured experience will be mentioned below. Now let's take a look at the overall and appearance details of the headset. First, the overall size is similar to most of the headphones we have reviewed before. The wide earmuffs can completely cover me. The ear, the surface of the earmuffs with the inner layer of memory cotton, the comfort of the human ear is not bad, very soft and not the ear, the sound insulation is as good as a closed earmuffs earphones. It also adopts the method of rotatable bending, which is convenient for the friends who travel and travel.  The head beam part is also wrapped in leather material, the elasticity is sufficient, the telescopic extension belt is also very smooth, the metal material has the feeling of bright sword and the grade is improved, and there is no need to worry about the fitting of the head size.   The microphone is not necessary for the game player, but this headset also comes standard with 2 different wire-controlled microphones, one is a 360-degree adjustable hose microphone, and the other is a common small microphone. The design, at home and friends to play black games can use 360-degree hose wheat, go out with ordinary small wheat, omnidirectional microphone radio effect does not have to be suspicious. From this detail, we can see the dual positioning of the music + game of this headset. It tries to give consumers a choice of accessories.  On the XH300-U, the exclusive virtual 7.1 sound card is plugged into the 3.5mm headphone cable at one end and the USB port at the other end. It can be connected to the PC and the host. In the XANOVA CONTROL PANEL-HEADSET software, we can adjust quite a lot of things. The spectrum of the equalizer is a regular operation, and there are several options for the ambient sound: the cinema mode and the opera mode will expand the sound field, making the sound sound more spacious, and the reverb mode can add some shorter echoes. Let the sound not dry, these can be selected according to the type of music played.  The opening of virtual 7.1 can make the sound more stereo. From the several directions in the figure, it can be seen that when 7.1 is turned on, the volume on the right side will be slightly increased, and this direction can also be adjusted by itself. The principle is roughly through the binaural effect, changing the difference. The difference in the time that the sound of the band reaches the ear affects the judgment of the human ear on the azimuth. Of course, there is a deeper principle behind it, for a Virtual 7.1 channel The role of headphones, its role can be said to be very obvious.  The specific audio parameters have a frequency response range of 20-20KHz, an impedance of 32 ohms, and a sensitivity of 95dB/mW. Thanks to the high sensitivity of the buck, the headphones are very easy to push for the general computer, even after the virtual 7.1 is turned on. The resolution of the treble part can be, there is no break phenomenon, the high frequency part will not be hoarse, and the IF resolution of the vocal is also good. With the tuning software of their home, the spectrum and environmental sound effects are adjusted. It is easy to come out differently. The sound atmosphere, the main HIFI sound quality is indeed much stronger than most of the game headphones on the market.  The bass part is not good enough, but fortunately there are 3 blocks of physical adjustment, which can enhance the volume of a little low frequency part, which can be clearly perceived in our actual game experience, such as COD14: World War II and Need for Speed. It performs well in COD games such as COD, which has a strong positioning requirement. It has a strong sense of positioning and can better assist me in identifying the position of teammates and enemies. The game of Need for Speed does not require positioning, and the sound is biased. Low frequency can make the low dumb exhaust sound more shocking, the game experience is better, of course, you can also manually adjust the equalizer in the software to achieve the effect you want. The low-frequency cancellation function of this earphone can also eliminate low-frequency noise, making the footsteps more prominent. It is self-evident for the FPS game that needs to listen to the sound, but this function may be obvious in the quiet environment of your bedroom, after all, Like the keyboard sound and air conditioning noise in our office, the noise reduction requirements are too high.  'PConline evaluation room summary'  First of all, from the price point of view, the price of the 549 yuan ordinary version and the 699 yuan virtual version 7.1 is not low, and from the design point of view, no RGB lights without angular shapes and eye-catching colors, also shows this Headphones are not only for the positioning of the game. The actual performance of the dual positioning of listening to music + games is not bad. It even comes standard with two kinds of microphones. It is good for you to play games at home and not to hang up your teammates. It won't be stupid. It can be said that the design is very intimate. But the two groups that are keen on e-sports and music enthusiasts will pay for a headset that has both of them. It is necessary to wait for the market to verify, but if you happen to be just wanting to take care of it. Sound quality and game friends, this headset may wish to consider. |
