Cov pob ntseg no yog kev nqis peev, tab sis yog tias koj xav tau qhov zoo tshaj plaws Apple yuav tsum muaj, ces lawv yog rau koj.

Apple AirPods Max

Peb tau yuav Apple AirPods Max yog li peb tus kws tshuaj xyuas tuaj yeem tso lawv mus rau qhov kev sim. Mus nyeem ntawv rau tag nrho cov khoom tshuaj xyuas.

Apple AirPods Max yog lub tuam txhab thev naus laus zis thawj qhov tseeb rau hauv tus nqi (piv txwv li kim) lub mloog pob ntseg. Lub hauv pob ntseg AirPods yog lub mloog pob ntseg zoo hauv lawv tus kheej txoj cai, tab sis yog tias koj mob siab txog lub suab zoo dua, ces lub pob ntseg pob ntseg yog cov cuab yeej rau txoj haujlwm. Muaj ntau xyoo ntawm kev xav txog dab tsi Apple lub pob ntseg pob ntseg Bluetooth yuav zoo li cas, thiab thaum AirPods Max tawm los thaum xyoo 2020, nws yog qhov xav tsis thoob.

Ua ntej thiab qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws, cov pob ntseg no kim, zoo $ 200 kim dua li txawm tias lub mloog pob ntseg tseem ceeb tshaj plaws Bluetooth tam sim no. Tus nqi taw tes no ua rau lawv nyob rau hauv tib chav kawm raws li ib nrab-tier, siab-resolution wired headphone.

Qhov feem ntau hlau tsim thiab ntim cov khoom siv hauv lub mloog pob ntseg xav tias Apple txiav txim siab, thiab feem ntau ntawm kev mloog tiag tiag rau AirPods Max yog qhov zoo heev. Tab sis lawv puas tsim nyog tus nqi? Kuv tau siv qhov zoo ntawm ib lub lim tiam nrog kuv khub, thiab ntawm no yog qhov uas kuv los rau lo lus nug ntawd.

Tsim: Tshwj xeeb thiab Apple heev

Los ntawm txhua tus as khauj, AirPods Max yeej zoo li ib feem. Yog tias koj saib tag nrho Apple cov neeg siv khoom lag luam-los ntawm thawj AirPods mus rau Apple Watches-koj yuav pom qee qhov kev tshoov siab uas tau coj mus rau kev tsim ntawm AirPods Max. Lub Digital Crown nyob rau sab saum toj ntawm lub pob ntseg sab xis yog ib qho ncaj qha theej, cov ntawv loj ntawm cov yas pom ntawm Apple watches. Cov kev xaiv xim yog tib yam muab rau lub iPad Air 4 tshiab kawg. Txawm tias cov duab ntawm txhua lub khob pob ntseg zoo ib yam li cov duab ntawm Apple Watch enclosure.

Zuag qhia tag nrho, Kuv nyiam qhov zoo li AirPods. Lub machined, telescoping headband caj npab yog qab ntxiag glossy thiab cov mesh thiab silicone txheej nyob rau sab saum toj zoo nkaus li contoured kom phim. Lub earcups, ntawm qhov tod tes, yog me ntsis ntawm qhov tau txais saj. Feem ntau cov neeg siv khoom siv lub mloog pob ntseg mus rau qhov zoo nkauj dua, tab sis Apple tau xaiv cov duab plaub sib npaug.

Lub khob pob ntseg kuj yog lub hom phiaj loj. Qhov no yog pab tau rau pob ntseg loj (Kuv yuav nkag mus rau hauv qhov kev nplij siab), tab sis nws txhais tau tias nws pom tseeb heev thaum koj hnav AirPods Max. Qhov no tej zaum yuav tsis yog qhov teeb meem-thaum thawj AirPods tawm, cov neeg thuam ntawm lub dangling qia tsim uas tam sim no tau los ua ib qho piv txwv nrog hwm earbuds. Lub sij hawm yuav qhia txog seb qhov zoo ntawm cov pob ntseg no yuav zoo li txhua qhov, tab sis muaj ib qho tseeb: Cov no yog "Apple."

Kev nplij siab: cov ntaub ntawv zoo, ua txhaum

Nws yog ib qho nyuaj los tham txog Apple cov khoom lag luam yam tsis muaj kev tsim kho kom zoo, thiab thaum kuv yuav mus rau hauv cov ncauj lus kom ntxaws ntxiv hauv ntu tom ntej, nws tseem ceeb heev uas yuav tsum nco ntsoov tias kev saib xyuas kom nthuav dav ua ntau heev rau kev ua cov pob ntseg no. zoo siab rau koj lub taub hau.

Cov mos-kov silicone uas npog lub taub hau nrog rau cov ntaub mos muag ua rau ze li qhov tsis paub tseeb ntawm kev sib cuag ntawm koj lub taub hau. Lub khob pob ntseg siv cov ntaub zoo sib xws li lawv npog.

Ntau tshaj 13 ooj, cov pob ntseg no yog qhov hnyav tshaj pob ntseg uas kuv tau hnav.

Thaum xub co, qhov no zoo li nco vim tias nws tsis zoo li qhov muag muag, faux tawv (pom ntawm cov neeg siv khoom siv ntau lub mloog pob ntseg). Tab sis, lub cim xeeb ua npuas ncauj hauv qhov npog no yog qhov sib npaug zoo tshaj plaws ntawm bouncy thiab daim ntawv haum. Thiab, vim lub khob pob ntseg loj heev, txawm pob ntseg loj li kuv yuav pom lub tsev zoo tsis muaj cua sov ntau dhau.

Tab sis tag nrho cov kev xaiv no - lub taub hau ntxiv, lub pob ntseg loj, thiab lwm yam - ua haujlwm tawm tsam kev nplij siab rau qee qhov. Thaum tshaj 13 ooj, cov pob ntseg no yog qhov hnyav tshaj pob ntseg uas kuv tau hnav. Qhov ntawd tsis yog ib qho exaggeration; Ntawm qhov ntsuas ib leeg, koj yuav nyuaj-nias kom pom cov neeg siv khoom hnyav dua. Yog li, yog tias koj tshwj xeeb rau lub mloog pob ntseg hnyav, kuv yuav ua kom pom tseeb ntawm cov no.

Txawm li cas los xij, Apple tau ua qee yam zoo kawg li uas lawv faib qhov hnyav ntawm koj lub taub hau. Ua tsaug rau ultra-muaj zog headband thiab dispersing mesh canopy uas so ntawm koj lub taub hau, ntau qhov hnyav tau hloov mus rau ob lub pob ntseg. Qhov no txhais tau hais tias lub mloog pob ntseg tsis xav hnyav npaum li daim ntawv spec yuav hais. Txawm li cas los xij, lawv pom tau tom qab ob peb teev.

Durability thiab Tsim Nyog: hwm, hwm, hwm

Ib qho ntawm cov khoom muag loj tshaj plaws rau cov khoom lag luam Apple yog qhov muaj zog tsim tau zoo. AirPods Max tsis muaj qhov tshwj xeeb rau qhov no, nrog cov ntaub ntawv zoo tshaj plaws. Thawj qhov koj yuav pom thaum koj coj lawv tawm ntawm lub thawv yog lub khob pob ntseg. Txhua lub khob yog tsim los ntawm ib daim ntawm anodized txhuas uas xav tias ob qho tib si zoo thiab rigidly check.

Cov ntsiab lus ntawm caj npab uas txuas mus rau cov khob no yog tsim los ntawm cov hlau tsis huv uas zoo heev uas tau nco txog ntawm ob sab ntawm Apple lub iPhones tsis ntev los no. Cov ntsiab lus tsis muaj zog (cov ntaub qhwv pob ntseg thiab cov ntaub npog uas nyob ntawm koj lub taub hau) tsuas yog xav tias muag heev. Kuv tau txaus siab rau qhov ntev npaum li cas cov no zoo li nyob rau nruab nrab kev ntxhov siab.

Thiab tom qab ntawd muaj kev paub txog kev cuam tshuam nrog lub mloog pob ntseg. Feem ntau lub mloog pob ntseg siv ratchet-style sizing system uas nyem, tab sis AirPods Max siv lub telescoping, yuav luag hydraulic mechanism kom smoothly resize lub headband. Txawm hais tias lub khob pob ntseg pivot, tig, thiab khoov sab nraud zoo li lub siab xav, tsis yog muab kev ntxhov siab rau cov ntsiab lus me me.

Txhua lub khob yog tsim los ntawm ib daim ntawm anodized txhuas uas pom tau tias zoo thiab ruaj khov.

Qhov tseeb, tsuas yog ib feem ntawm tag nrho cov pob no uas xav tias tsis txhob txwm ua yog rooj plaub. Kuv yuav nkag siab ntau ntxiv txog cov ntaub ntawv no thiab vim li cas nws tsis zoo tom qab, tab sis vim tias nws tsis npog tag nrho lub mloog pob ntseg, kuv xav kom ceev faj nrog cov khoom. Ntawm tus nqi no, txawm tias nws xav tias nws yuav tuav, koj yuav poob siab yog tias cov tshuaj pleev ib ce me me nkag rau hauv daim duab.

Sound Quality and Noise Cancelling: Glossy and impressive

Qhov tseeb ntawm cov lus nug zoo rau cov headphones no: Lawv suab zoo heev. Lawv puas yog lub mloog pob ntseg zoo tshaj plaws uas kuv tau siv? Tsis yog. Tab sis lawv puas zoo ib yam li lwm yam ntawm Bluetooth headphones muaj nyob hauv khw? Yog, rau feem ntau.

Nyob rau hauv daim ntawv Apple tiag, muaj ntau ntau cov lus zoo nkauj pov nyob ib puag ncig ntawm lub vev xaib, xws li "tus tsav tsheb lub dual-neodymium nplhaib hlau nplaum lub cev muaj zog txo qis tag nrho kev sib haum xeeb," piv txwv. Qhov ntawd txhais li cas?

Zoo, feem ntau lub mloog pob ntseg hauv chav kawm no siv cov lus hais zoo sib xws, yog li tib lub tswv yim uas koj yuav tsum tau cia siab rau yog Apple lub teeb liab digital ua. Kuv tuaj yeem hais tau tias lub mloog pob ntseg no zoo kawg nkaus sib npaug rau ob tus neeg siv cov kaus poom.

Lawv yeej muab cov ntses bass thaj tsam zoo, nrog rau cov oomph tshwj xeeb hauv cov ntses bass thaj tsam kom muaj kev txhawb nqa txaus rau cov sib tov tshwj xeeb. Cov siab yog me ntsis softer tshaj qhov kuv xav tau, thiab qee qhov nruab nrab tau txais me ntsis nqos ntawm qhov ntim tsawg. Tab sis qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws yog tias koj tuaj yeem tig lub mloog pob ntseg no nrov heev thiab lub suab tseem tuav tau zoo, tsis muaj kev cuam tshuam pom ntawm cov ntim sab saum toj ntawm lwm lub mloog pob ntseg.

Tom qab ntawd muaj lub suab nrov tshem tawm (ANC). Yav dhau los, kuv yuav tau hais rau koj tias Sony's WH kab kis las zoo tshaj ANC nyob ib puag ncig. Thiab qhov ntawd tseem muaj tseeb los ntawm ntau tus account. Tab sis qhov Apple zoo li ua tau zoo ntawm no yog qhov hloov pauv ntawm qhov sib npaug. Muaj rau lub ntsej muag sab nraud mics thiab ob lub ntsej muag sab hauv los pab lub mloog pob ntseg nyeem koj ib puag ncig nrog kev ua tau zoo ntawm qhov tseeb thiab tshem tawm tsuas yog lub suab nrov uas nyob ntawd.

Kuv tuaj yeem hais tias cov pob ntseg no suab zoo kawg nkaus rau cov neeg siv khoom noj. Lawv yeej muab cov ntses bass thaj tsam zoo, nrog rau oomph tshwj xeeb hauv cov ntses bass thaj tsam.

Qhov "beamforming" zoo ntawm mics kuj pab cais cov suab nrov xws li suab thiab cua. Kuv xav tias Sony lub suab nrov tshem tawm yog me ntsis hloov maj mam, thiab rau kuv lub pob ntseg nws hnov ntxhiab me ntsis, tab sis yog tias kev nkag mus yog koj lub hom phiaj, ces cov pob ntseg no yuav ua haujlwm zoo rau koj. Muaj, tau kawg, ntau lwm yam nta xws li qib me me ntawm EQ customization (Kuv pom zoo kom qhib lub suab-kev cais tawm hauv koj lub iPhone ntawv qhia zaub mov), tab sis rau feem ntau, lub suab Apple npaj yog qhov koj tau txais.

Roj Teeb Lub Neej: Zoo nkauj ntseeg tau rau kev ua haujlwm

Nyob hauv ntau txoj hauv kev, AirPods Max tuaj yeem suav tias yog "aural augmentation accessory," ntau npaum li lawv yog ib khub ntawm lub mloog pob ntseg. Kuv yuav nkag mus rau hauv cov suab nrov thiab pob tshab uas ua rau cov khoom no txias heev hauv ntu tom qab, tab sis tag nrho cov haujlwm ntxiv no muaj kev cuam tshuam ntau rau lub roj teeb lub neej. Yog li qhov tseeb tias Apple cog lus txog 20 teev ntawm kev siv rau cov neeg siv feem ntau, txawm tias siv ntau qhov kev ua haujlwm no, yog qhov zoo rau pom.

Kom muaj kev ncaj ncees, kev xaiv rau Bose thiab Sony muab rau koj ob peb teev ntxiv ntawm tus nqi ib zaug, yog li AirPods Max nyob deb ntawm chav kawm hauv qhov no. Tab sis, nyob rau hauv tsib-lossis-hnub kuv tau siv lub mloog pob ntseg, kuv tau txaus siab rau qhov lawv tuav tau zoo npaum li cas. Dab tsi ntxiv yog tias thaum koj ntsaws rau hauv, koj yuav tau txais li ib teev thiab ib nrab ntawm lub sijhawm ntxiv nrog tsuas yog tsib feeb ntawm lub charger.

Lwm daim ntawv tseem ceeb yog ib qho ntawm qhov tsis txaus ntseeg ntawm AirPods Max: Koj tsis tuaj yeem kaw lawv tus kheej. Cov ntaub ntawv uas tuaj nrog AirPods Max muaj cov hlau nplaum hauv nws uas yuam lub mloog pob ntseg mus rau hauv hom sib sib zog nqus qis. Apple tau thov tias lub mloog pob ntseg yuav nkag mus rau hom no tom qab lub sijhawm, tab sis yog tias koj xav txuag roj teeb lub neej tiag tiag, koj yuav tsum nqa rooj plaub nrog koj.

Kev sib txuas: Seamless nrog Apple ecosystem

Raws li cov khoom lag luam Apple, koj yuav pom kev sib koom ua ke zoo tshaj plaws yog tias koj tau nqis peev tag nrho hauv Apple lub ecosystem. Qhov no txhais tau tias yog tias koj muaj iPad, Mac, thiab iPhone, koj tuaj yeem hloov pauv sai ntawm ib qho khoom siv mus rau lwm qhov. Ntxiv rau, vim tias muaj H1 nti hauv txhua lub mloog pob ntseg, koj yuav tsum raug ceeb toom kom txuas ncaj qha thaum siv Apple ntaus ntawv (tsis tas yuav fumble los ntawm Bluetooth menus).

Qhov kev sib txuas tiag tiag yog Bluetooth 5.0, thiab cov codecs yog SBC thiab AAC, nyob ntawm lub cuab yeej. Qhov no txhais tau hais tias tag nrho cov latency thiab suab zoo yog tshuav rau Apple lub teeb liab processor software ntawm lub nkoj. Koj tuaj yeem, technically, txuas lub mloog pob ntseg rau txhua lub cuab yeej Bluetooth (Android suav nrog), tab sis koj yuav tsis muaj lub suab sib txuas lossis txuas ntxiv nta.

Ntawm kuv iPhone thiab Mac, kuv pom lub latency yuav zoo li undetectable thiab lub suab zoo yuav zoo heev. Tab sis thaum kuv mus txuas rau lub ntsiav tshuaj uas tsis yog Apple, nws yog qhov nyuaj dua-yuav tsum kom kuv txiav tawm ntawm kuv cov khoom siv Apple ua ntej yuam nws mus rau hauv Bluetooth khub hom. Kuv qhov khoom siv dav dav ntawm no yog tias cov pob ntseg no yuav kim dhau yog tias koj tab tom npaj siv lawv nrog cov khoom tsis yog Apple, tab sis yog tias koj yog Apple stalwart, muaj ntau tus nqi kom tau txais.

Software thiab Ntxiv: Ntau nyiam, tab sis tsis ntau koj xav tau

Vim Apple tsis muab rau koj tag nrho cov kev tswj hwm ntawm kev hloov kho ntawm lub mloog pob ntseg 'feature sets, dab tsi koj xaus nrog yog ib pawg ntawm flashy extras uas tej zaum yuav los yog tsis muaj nuj nqis rau koj.

Ua ntej yog Apple's Spatial Audio. Cov yam ntxwv no muaj nyob hauv AirPods Pro ib yam nkaus, tab sis nws yeej muaj sia nyob hauv lub suab tag nrho ntawm AirPods Max. Cov software no tsom mus rau emulate ib puag ncig lub suab kaw lus, tab sis nws kuj tso cai rau koj los teeb tsa lub ntsiab lus siv, kom lub suab koj hnov nyob rau hauv kev coj ntawm koj lub cuab yeej (xws li koj lub xov tooj lossis koj lub laptop), txawm tias koj txav koj lub taub hau. Nws yog qhov ua kom zoo nkauj me me thiab yuav yog qhov zoo ntxiv rau qhov kev paub txog kev muaj tiag.

Tom qab ntawd muaj hom pob tshab. Thaum lub mloog pob ntseg feem ntau muaj qhov kev xaiv no, lawv tsuas yog cov yeeb nkab hauv lub tiaj tus pub los ntawm cov mics siv rau kev hu xov tooj. Apple siv nws cov mic array zoo kawg nkaus kom xa cov hom kev pom tseeb uas txaus ntshai uas zoo siab tiag tiag rau kev sib tham thaum khaws lub mloog pob ntseg. Tag nrho cov no yog txias, tab sis tuaj yeem ua rau me ntsis niche rau cov neeg siv nruab nrab, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog ntawm tus nqi taw tes.

Thiab tom qab ntawd muaj rooj plaub. Tej zaum qhov feem ntau sau-hais txog feature nrog AirPods Max yog cov ntaub ntawv me me, foldable uas tsuas yog npog hauv qab ntawm lub mloog pob ntseg, tawm hauv mesh headband canopy nthuav tawm. Qhov no yog ib qho kev xaiv khib; Yog hais tias ib feem ntawm lub mloog pob ntseg yuav poob rau hnav thiab tsim kua muag, nws yuav yog lub taub hau. Yog li, rooj plaub tiag tiag tsis yog rau kev mus ncig, tab sis tsuas yog tiv thaiv cov ntaub thaiv hlau los ntawm "clacking" ua ke. Nws kuj muab lub mloog pob ntseg rau hauv qhov sib sib zog nqus, qis zog hom. Txawm hais tias rooj plaub zoo li lub cev zoo, nws tsuas yog tsis txaus rau tus nqi taw tes no.

Ib qhov kawg ntxiv yog lub tshuab uas lub pob ntseg txuas nrog. Cov pob ntseg pob ntseg tsim tau zoo no tau txuas rau lub mloog pob ntseg nrog cov hlau nplaum muaj zog. Qhov no ua rau lawv yooj yim dua rau tshem tawm thiab rov txuas dua dua li feem ntau ntawm cov tawv pob ntseg hauv khw. Qhov no kuj txhais tau hais tias yog tias koj txaus siab tawm ntawm $ 70 los yuav hloov pob ntseg los ntawm Apple, koj tuaj yeem xav sib xyaw thiab sib xyaw xim (Kuv xav tias Ntuj Xiav thiab Paj yeeb yuav zoo nkauj zoo nkauj).

Price: Objectively kim heev

Kuv tsis xav tias leej twg, suav nrog Apple, yuav sib cav tias tus nqi rau lub mloog pob ntseg no yog qhov sib haum nrog lub khw. Apple tau ua qhov no ua ntej tshaj tawm cov khoom lag luam ntawm tus nqi nce siab los sim ua kom haum thiab ua tiav lossis siv yooj yim uas tsis muaj tam sim no, tag nrho rau tus nqi loj.

Thaum nws muaj tseeb tias qhov tsim muaj txiaj ntsig zoo thiab kev sib koom ua ke yooj yim nrog Apple cov khoom lag luam tsis sib tw, Bose thiab Sony muab lub mloog pob ntseg zoo nkauj rau ib nrab ntawm tus nqi. Yog li, cov lus nug los txog seb Apple lub hom tseem ceeb npaum li cas rau koj. Keeb kwm tau qhia peb tias Apple tuaj yeem hais kom tag nrho ntu ntawm kev ua lag luam uas yuav tau xav tias yog niche (qhov tseeb wireless earbuds thiab smartwatches yog cov piv txwv zoo ntawm qhov tshwm sim no). Tab sis cov no ultra-premium headphones yog piv txwv ntawm qhov no? Qhov ntawd yeej yog rau koj.

Apple AirPods Max vs Sony WH-1000XM4

Ntawm $549, yeej tsis muaj lub mloog pob ntseg zoo sib xws. Consumer Bluetooth ANC headphones top out at around $300, and tag nrho cov headphones at $550+ are wired, DAC-focused, audiophile model.

Tus neeg sib tw ze tshaj plaws ntawm no yog qhov kuv nyiam tam sim no khub ntawm hwm Bluetooth lub mloog pob ntseg: Sony WH-1000XM4s. Cov headphones no muab lub suab zoo kawg nkaus, zoo ANC, thiab zoo heev customizability. AirPods Max muaj qhov tsim tau zoo dua qub, thiab Apple-focused extras tsis pom nyob qhov twg. Yog tias Apple muab dab tsi ntawm no tseem ceeb txaus rau koj, nws tuaj yeem tsim nyog rau cov nyiaj ntxiv, tab sis kuv qhov kev nyiam rau tus nqi muab tseem leans mus rau XM4s.

Zoo kawg rau tus mloog tshwj xeeb

Saib txhua yam ntawm lub mloog pob ntseg no muaj qhov tsim tau zoo kawg, cov yam ntxwv tom ntej, thiab nplua nuj, sib npaug suab-nws yuav luag tsis tuaj yeem muab cov qhab nia tsis zoo rau lawv. Qhov tseeb tiag nws tsuas yog tus nqi uas rub lawv mus rau qhov chaw tsis txaus ntseeg. Rau $350, Kuv tau zam txim rau qhov hnyav ntawm kuv lub taub hau thiab qhov tsis txaus ntseeg ntawm rooj plaub. Rau $549, cov no yog yam uas koj yuav tsum xav txog tiag tiag.

Thaum kawg, kuv xav tias cov no yog cov khoom kim heev headphones rau kev siv txhua hnub, tab sis rau kev mus ncig, qhov twg cov ntaub ntawv zoo dua thiab tus nqi pheej yig dua tau txais txiaj ntsig, qhov no yog qhov muag nyuaj. Tab sis, Apple cov kiv cua yeej yuav zoo siab nrog lawv qhov kev yuav khoom ntawm no, thiab peb txhua tus paub tias Apple yog cov khoom lag luam zoo. Yog li qhov kev txiav txim siab zaum kawg yog nyob ntawm qhov koj tuaj yeem them taus thiab koj nyiam qhov ecosystem ntau npaum li cas.
