Simple unpacking and evaluation of rambler TWS 1 Bluetooth headset

In the past two years, Apple airpods has driven the TWS Bluetooth headset market. It seems that this real wireless Bluetooth is everywhere overnight.

I used to use moto pulse earmuffs with Sennheiser CX3.00 wired headphones. This is a good combination, but it's too hot in summer, so it's really uncomfortable to use earmuffs. CX3.00 doesn't know whether it can withstand heat or not. The thread is as soft as melting, and it is sticky. In addition, the Bluetooth headset used by fun run was stifled by years of sweat immersion. Considering the demand of listening to music in fun run at ordinary times, it is logical to set up headphones with convenient project procurement.

If my mobile phone is an apple, I don't think I will be entangled. Just bite your teeth, just AirPods. The sound quality may not be the best, but it is more reliable with Apple's own machine, but I am Android, so I can only look for it slowly.

Due to the very tight economy, the budget should not be too high, and it is expected to be capped at 300.

Most of the Bluetooth headsets I bought before cost about 200 yuan can almost ring, mainly because the sound will not be too boring when I am in fun run. Therefore, my expectation for this product is that it will ring when I listen to Cai Qin's "Ferry". If possible, it will exceed my expectations. QCY, Xiaomi, Redmi and various headphones from Huaqiang North have all been considered. Finally, it hit my heart, because rambler supports APTX.

Headphones are bought from Taobao, around 200 yuan, so I won't talk about it. After all, it is not an advertisement.

The courier waited for 2 days, from Shanghai to Shenzhen, which was normal.

As soon as I received the short message, I went to the post office to get it back and couldn't wait to open the box.

When I look at the pictures, I always feel that this thing will be very big. When I got the parcel, I found it was actually very small.

Unpack the package and add a storage bag to the earphone package inside. In other words, this storage bag is getting worse and worse now. I think the storage bag of Dafa earplugs I bought is really beautiful and easy to use. There is still one in use, which should be 10 years old. The package sent by moto Bluetooth headset is also very good. I have several pieces in my hand.

It's too far from the point. Let's get back to the point.

The design of the box is quite satisfactory, and the packaging protects the earphone body well, but it is not beautiful.

Take the sponge away. There are L and S earplugs, instruction manual, warranty card and charging cable below. There is nothing to say. As for the instructions, they are quite rough, so let's briefly talk about how to use them.

There is nothing special about the headset itself, but it is found that two devices should not be connected at the same time, and the information found on the Internet has not mentioned this, so it should be confirmed that two devices cannot be supported online at the same time.

When I asked the customer service, I guess the other party didn't understand my question either, and then I answered a bunch of 98 contents, telling me that this thing can be used separately from the left and right ears, which is equivalent to two headphones and the like.

Headphone storage box and charger, the size feels similar to AirPod, there is no AirPod at hand, so it is impossible to make a real comparison, and there is no problem in carrying.

Shoot a doll with it and feel the size.

Open the storage box and you can see two earphone bodies.

The earplug on my body is m, which means the quality is average. The connection between earphone body and storage box is magnetic attraction, and two metal contacts are connected. Open the cover and take it out, then turn it on, put it back on the cover of the storage box and disconnect it for later use.

Unpacking. That's all. As a matter of fact, I don't have any expectations for packaging. After all, it's worth it. Although a good package can make people trust more, the quality of the machine itself is the key.

Packaging image seems to be a common problem in domestic factories. After buying a lot of these products, I hardly put much effort into the packaging. On the contrary, the packaging of foreign factories naturally makes people feel very at ease.

For example, Jabra STEP, which I drowned in sweat, costs about the same, but the packaging is really high, although the actual sound quality is just like that, and it can still ring.

TWS 1 is quite good in wearing feeling. I use the default M earplug. I don't feel anything after plugging it into the ear canal, and the weight is appropriate. You won't feel tired after wearing it for a long time, but it is still recommended not to wear it for too long. It's best to rest for about an hour.

Because it is an in-ear earphone, it has a natural advantage in sound insulation, and the world will be clean as soon as it is put on. However, the common problem of in-ear headphones-stethoscope effect also exists. Although the stethoscope effect will be greatly reduced because of the lack of wires, it will still exist during the call, and the control of headphones is concentrated on one point of the body, which makes this effect very serious during operation.

In terms of data transmission, the biggest selling point of this headset is that it supports APTX decoding, which makes lossless listening possible. Although the music decoding ability of mobile phones is average, lossless compression is always better than lossy compression. Maybe you can hear the seventh audience from the left in the fifth row eating melon seeds. Well, it still smells good.

The biggest feeling these days is that the high-frequency reproduction of his voice is better, especially the reproduction of human voice is very pleasant, while the bass is more general, so don't expect too much.

For this test, I took out the audition song list at the bottom of the closet again. By the way, I also invited two active headphones, Sennheiser CX 3.00 (bought at 399 yuan) and moto pulse (well, I just want to take these two headphones, and I can't decide which is better or worse. ) make a comparison.

Sennheiser CX3.00 (source network)

Moto pulse (source network, my black one. )

Sennheiser CX3.00 was bought from a certain east, and the purchase price was 399 yuan. Moto pulse is a gift when moto Z was released. This product seems relatively rare in China. At that time, the manufacturer told us that it was worth 1000 yuan, which was actually around 400 yuan.

In terms of price, the grade of rambler TWS 1 is lower than the above two headphones. In all fairness, wired headphones and earmuffs have natural advantages over in-ear Bluetooth headphones. It is more appropriate to use a device with a price lower than TWS 1 or 1, or at least a device with the same price, rather than a device with a price higher than at least one, but there are only two headphones, which can only be wronged by the rambler.

Since the rambler is the protagonist, it is better to introduce more, first look at the cow and basic parameters blown by the official map.

The main points are as follows:

On the other hand, around 2000, Sony's E888 was considered as an artifact because of the biological diaphragm. At that time, the price was around 500, which was my living expenses for one month. I could only watch my mouth watering.

The song list is as follows. All songs are in FLAC lossless format or 320kbps audio source. After all, this is not a professional test, but mainly a subjective judgment of personal hearing. So using these audio sources is actually enough, and I don't deliberately find a fever audio source for testing. I don't have a fever! The influence of wind power or nuclear power and radio waves on sound quality is not considered.

Let's choose a few songs and focus on our feelings:

Eagle's "Hotel California" 94 live edition is a classic audition track and also a classic track of Eagle. Is a frequent visitor to various tests, testing the sound field of headphones.

0''-30'' mainly observes the guitar solo part and the restoration of audience applause.

30''-60'' mainly observe the bass reduction of drums and the subtle performance of sand hammers.

On the whole, in the performance of California hotels, all are Bluetooth headsets, and the gap between rambler TWS 1 and moto Pulse is still relatively large. Although Rambler's Bluetooth version and decoding protocol are better than moto Pulse, the comparison between earmuffs and earplugs is fundamentally unfair. Earmuffs have natural advantages, so the gap is expected to be relatively large.

This round of comprehensive evaluation:

It has high requirements for low frequency and surround sound, and it's good to add it in.

0''-60'', without considering other factors and only focusing on stereo performance, the performance of the three headphones is similar, but after all, other aspects of performance cannot be completely ignored. On the whole, the bass of China drum, the intermediate frequency of African drum and the treble of triangle are still CX 3.00 >;; Moro Pulse & gtTWS 1, but when the volume of moto pulse is also adjusted to the maximum, its sound effect is infinitely close to Sennheiser CX3.00, and the gap between TWS 1 and the other two is very obvious in bass performance.

This round of comprehensive evaluation:

Speaking of ferries in Cai Qin, I have to say that a few years ago, I ate big steamed buns in Senhai and didn't come back for a long time after I left. If it weren't for my poverty, I probably wouldn't look at headphones and earplugs that are cheaper than now. After listening to the song, the whole person was drunk. At that time, it was the first time I knew that even if the front end was almost the same, your uncle was still a good earphone.

Now that I think about it, I shouldn't try this thing. Ignorance is good, and frogs in the well are also very happy.

This round of comprehensive evaluation:

I like a song in the musical Snow Wolf Lake very much. The part of Chen Jieyi's oratorio is almost a perfect interpretation.

This round of test is mainly aimed at the part of Chen Jieyi chorus in front, mainly considering the timbre and sense of space of human voice.

This round of comprehensive evaluation:

The last song was mainly the female voice of Chen Jieyi, and this song was the male voice of the God of Songs.

In fact, this round of performance is similar to the last round of "I just want to live for you for one day". Now I like the endurance performance of rambler TWS 1 more and more, which is indeed more pleasant than Sennheiser c 3.00, and the performance of Moto Pulse is close to Sennheiser c 3.00.

This round of comprehensive evaluation:

Netease Cloud doesn't have the copyright of Li Na's version here, and it's hard to find files in 320kbps or lossless format online for a while, so Han Hong's version is used instead. A version of the altar sutra for reference.

This round of comprehensive evaluation:

I like Mr. Huang's little brother Huang, so I added a comparison. Moreover, the song itself contains rich elements, and it is quite a test of the quality of headphones to distinguish clearly.

This round of comprehensive evaluation:

This song is purely personal, and I can't help thinking about Amway. Not suitable for testing.

Listen to this song every time I feel that I can't keep going, and then read the comments and find that many people are still trying to live, so they are resurrected.

This round of comprehensive evaluation:

It's also pirated, so I like it catchy, beautifully arranged, and beautiful timbre at home.

This round of comprehensive evaluation:

I won't say much about the rest. Most of them are private goods, personal preference.

Roughly comment on some * * * performances of three headphones in these songs.

In the music that pays more attention to human voice, the rambler TWS 1 performs well, and the overall performance may not be better than that of Sennheiser CX3.00, but the vocal reproduction is more pleasant and sounds more comfortable.

The gap between rambler TWS 1 and Sennheiser CX3.00 will be more obvious, especially in the performance of bass. The more complicated, the greater the gap.

The performance of Moto Pulse is relatively stable, slightly weaker than that of Sennheiser CX3.00. When the firepower is fully turned on and the volume is adjusted to the highest level, the performance will be significantly improved, which is infinitely close to CX3.00.

In terms of music performance, rambler TWS 1 is relatively more suitable for music types with less complicated arrangement and more emphasis on vocal expression, such as pop and folk songs. Concerts such as rock and metal, which pay more attention to musical instrument list and arrangement, are weak, especially the bass part, and their performance will be somewhat disappointing.

The total evaluation scores of so many songs above are as follows;

Serious delay has always been the biggest problem of Bluetooth headset, and the influence of better sound quality is not particularly great. After all, not everyone can hear whether it is using wind power or thermal power, and whether the water level of Gezhouba has risen.

Bluetooth headset has a more or less perceptible delay, generally around 1 second, which has no effect when listening to songs, but when watching videos and playing games, the experience will become very poor, and you will often feel that the voice and mouth shape are wrong and play instantly. I don't like watching videos and playing games with Bluetooth headset all the time. The biggest reason is that delay affects the experience too much.

In order to understand the delay of rambler TWS 1, I simply tested it through videos and games to actually understand its actual situation.

The local video was tested with the swamp thing 20 19 (swamp thing), the 1080P video file in Web-DL-AAC2.0-H264 format and the first season of Stranger's Things. The player used MX player 1.924(ARMv NEON).

In the process of playing "Swamp Things", there is no obvious problem that the voice is out of sync, while "Strange Things" has obvious voice delay, and it is obvious that the voice and mouth shape are out of sync.

In Bili Bili, the network video is selected from TanJing Jiu-Er (1080i+flac+ac3 Double Track Ultimate Collection Edition) (av 194 14292) and Gong Linna Creek-Ultra Clear-No Logo, No Audience Background Noise (AV63 165438+).

During the video playback, I didn't feel the obvious problem of out-of-sync sound.

In terms of games, I simply regard eating chicken as a simple test.

Test platform: Xiaomi 6(6+ 128G, MIUI 10 9.6.27 development version) Peace Elite 1.2.9 version.

I'm not interested in this escape game. I'm too lazy to pretend that my son wants to play. It's normal to play badly. There are no other games in the mobile phone, so I have to take this as a test. It's very demanding for sound anyway.

After playing a game, I found that the resolution of various sound categories and directions was still very clear, and I didn't feel obvious sound delay, which was very good. For example, there is a man running beside me on the island of birth. I ran in different directions, and I found that I could clearly distinguish the direction and distance of each other's footsteps. After picking up the gun, I can clearly hear the other person's footsteps, direction, etc. When I beat around the bush in the room and killed each other with the last shot.

Although I don't know what happened when I just filmed a person, in terms of games, this earphone can still meet the requirements, at least it can meet my needs.

As for the phenomenon of sound delay and non-delay at different times when testing video, it may be caused by the unstable connection of the equipment itself. This is not normal, and it may be improved after restarting the headset (compared with Schrodinger, there is no guarantee that it will be improved after restarting, and the stability needs to be strengthened).

Strictly speaking, it is unfair to compare rambler TWS 1 with Sennheiser CX3.00 and moto Pulse, but I don't have any other headphones in my hand, so I can only compare them like this.

If the quality of these two products is evaluated as the standard of the qualified line, the rambler can barely pass at most, but after all, the price is here, and it is hooliganism to discuss the quality without considering the actual price.

After more than a week's use, I think this product is worthy of its price and even exceeds expectations.

The high frequency performance of rambler TWS 1 is quite satisfactory, even exceeding expectations. I don't know if it's a biological diaphragm in vocal cord repair. The restoration of human voice is very pleasant. Even in most vocal performances, I think he is more pleasing to the ear (at least in my opinion) than Sennheiser CX3.00, and its biggest defect lies in its low-frequency performance. It can be said that its bass chat is better than nothing, commonly known as listening.

If there is a high demand for music performance, individuals do not recommend choosing TWS headphones at this price. Either consider wired headphones, or increase the budget to about 4 digits, and focus on the products of traditional manufacturers such as Senhai and Sony, and directly support LDAC headphones conditionally, instead of wasting time at this price.

For TWS headphones with limited budget and strong demand, rambler TWS 1 is a good choice. In this week's use, its performance is more and more to my taste.

If the budget is limited and you don't need real wireless, it may be a better choice to find a limited headset at this price.

Finally, to add a point, in theory, the bio-diaphragm needs to be cooked to have better performance, but I personally don't agree that something costing 200 yuan needs to be cooked for that long, and from my experience of using so many inlet plugs, cooking has little improvement on the sound quality of headphones, so I didn't deliberately cook it before this test.
