Thousand yuan budget can HiFi? Colorful C200 Player | LG G5 HiFi Module | Experience Sharing

Hello everyone, the landlord came back with original posts!

Because I'm usually busy at work, when I was 11 I was writing a post at home, wasn't I witty? (Too poor to go out to play...) The landlord recently got a lot of good things, want to hurry to share the happiness of the landlord in the Aunt Zhang and the vast number of valued friends ~ Please everyone support ~

--------

Speaking of photography and HiFi, we think of the word “fans”. It can be said that there are no heads when it comes to burning photography and HiFi equipment. “Fever” can only be done with the right amount of effort. As an ordinary college student, the landlord has just started his career (three months into the job). It's really a poor one! However, the landlord usually has his own small hobby, such as photography and listening to music. The devices that may not be visible in the eyes of the gods are very happy to play in my hands. So this time, the main reason for exploring the building is whether more than a thousand music devices can bring HiFi experience.


Not long ago, the landlord started the colorful C200, which is a thousand yuan price music player, not a fever but certainly better than the sound quality of mobile phones. The landlord's hands are just like the LG G5 mobile phone and the B&O HiFi module. The sound quality in the cell phone HiFi field is also good. Therefore, the landlord is prepared to bring the use experience of these two products to everyone and provide a reference for everyone. (HiFi module is my own on the free fish ~)

First take an order screenshot.

The impression that Rainbow made to the landlord was a computer hardware manufacturer. Later, he started to make music players. He also introduced a product with a price of more than 4K (Colorful C4), which is really impressive.

The colorful C200 is priced at around 1,500 yuan. Perhaps the slag in the eyes of the gods is not counted, but the student party or the economically less wealthy young people are considered to be good equipment. So the landlord is also very interested in experiencing it.

At first glance, the colorful C200 feels pretty good. The brushed metal shell is very textured and looks very retro.

Colorful C200's key feel is general, but the embedded design to a certain extent can prevent inadvertent touch.

There are two volume keys raised on the side ... ... work is fine, it is a little unexpected.

Headphone jack and LO jack on top of the fuselage.

The bottom of the fuselage is Micro-USB interface, TF card slot and reset hole, there is a wooden feel back to the era of MP3/4 10 years ago!

Colorful C200 also provides a hanging hole, you can hang a mobile phone and the like. Did everyone notice that the C200's body design is a parallelogram!

The parallelogram-shaped body not only looks weird, but it is strange to hold it in the hand. The landlord does not like this "personality" of the fuselage design......

The back is made of pebbled leather, which is a bit new.

The "parallelogram" design of the fuselage makes the landlord really unacceptable. The others are okay. The weight of the colorful C200 is not heavy... But is it a good thing or a bad thing in the HiFi circle?

Said for a long time did not say screen, this is a slot that the landlord thinks is very big! Colorful C200 equipped with a 2.4-inch 320240 resolution screen, so that the landlord's thoughts suddenly went back to high school when using Nokia's mobile phone memory ... ... but also does not support touch screen, Scorpio, I will soon not use non-touch Screen device.

Then the display effect of this screen is also very disappointing for the landlord! The brightness is very general, coarse pixels are visible to the naked eye, 65,000 colors and the screen is simply like a "black and white screen", and then the viewing angle is also very poor ... Well, do not say, who makes it a music player !


Next take a look at the LG G5 and B&O HiFi modules.

This is the HiFi Plus music module that LG joint Nordic music brand B&O puts on, can install on LG G5 and G5 SE these two mobile phones above, in order to improve the sound quality of the mobile phone.

The G5 is a modular phone, so you can disassemble the phone and install the HiFi module like this.

The HiFi module has a lid that can be removed.

Like this, you can install it.

The whole installation process is very troublesome.

The HiFi module serves as the chin of the mobile phone and also provides Type-C charging ports, speakers, microphones, and headphone ports, just to make the phone longer.

This headset is also a model for the H3 headset launched by B&O, the sound quality is very good, so this time the landlord used this headset for everyone to audition the sound quality of two music players.

Colorful C200 and LG G5 with HiFi Plus are on the move!

Finally summarize the appearance of the colorful C200:

The advantage is that the body design of brushed metal and leather lines is more refined, the shape is very retro, and the weight is not heavy;

The disadvantage is that the body of the parallelogram looks a bit strange and does not support touch screens are flawed.


2, sound performance

It is finally time to introduce the sound quality. As a HiFi player, the sound quality is of course the most important. Then the landlord talked about his own listening experience.

Let's take a look at the configuration. The configurations of the Colorful C200 and LG G5 HiFi Plus are almost the same. Both support 32-bit/192-kHz sampling rate and hard decoding of DSD files. Only the audio chip solution adopts different manufacturers. This makes the landlord full of curiosity about the performance of the two.


Listen to the song below.

First listen to Tsai Chin's Forgotten Time.

Many of Tsai Chin's songs have been selected as audition songs. The landlord also likes her singing. If you want to experience the shock of the HiFi music player, Tsai Chin's song is definitely the best choice. The two music players can be said to refresh the landlord's music world. Sure enough, you are not the same, use a word to describe it is nice!

Of course, such a general statement is certainly not a good evaluation, it does not allow everyone to understand the professional HiFi player. In fact, many of the "whites" in the small white mouth are meant to express the broadening of the musical range. In other words, the same song, under the analysis of the professional decoder chip, becomes very "thick." Therefore, at the same volume, the landlord felt that the listening experience of the two players was very substantial, and that ordinary mobile phones would not have such a feeling regardless of how loud the volume was.

Specifically compare these two products. The colorful C200 gives the landlord a feeling of slightly too strong force, and the low-frequency gain is obvious, so it will not be heard when listening to details and echoes. The sound of the B&O HiFi module is cleaner and the resolution is very good. The details of the lips can be heard clearly. So in this song, the landlord prefers the performance of the B&O HiFi module.


In the second song, we listened to the soda-green "happy mourning".

Landlords from the beginning of high school very much like soda green, because of their musical talent. Sodagreen is the highest-qualified orchestra in China. The team members are almost all top students and graduate students. If you have only heard their love songs, they are too low. The first "Happy Yan" was included in their latest album "Winter Unfinished". This year's Golden Melody Award for soda green is based on the album's five awards, such as the best Mandarin album and the best orchestra. This gold content is really high! This "Painful Sadness" won the Best Arrive Award.

Talk about the listening experience. This song was invited by a local band in Berlin to accompany it, using the One Take's recording method, that is, once again, the musician's strength is evident! But I don't know if it was a problem with the recording equipment. When the landlord listened to the song accompanied by hundreds of musical instruments, he always felt rumbling and the details of the two players were not in place.

The Soda Green song was chosen to test the performance of the music player's treble performance, both of which performed well. Just the colorful C200 treble midrange separation is not very high, the feeling of sound mixed together, and B&O HiFi module can clearly clear the Qingfeng's voice from the chaotic accompaniment to pick out, very transparent. The overall feeling is that the sound of the B&O HiFi module is very flexible, and the colorful C200 is more abundant. However, one problem with the B&O HiFi module is that it can't hold the “big scene”.


The third song we listen to a pure music "Taiko Luan Dance."

The landlord does not know the origin of this music. It is actually a piece of drumming music, so it is used to test the performance of the low frequency. In this drum-intensive scene, although the sound of the B&O HiFi module is very flexible, the resolving power is greatly reduced and it is a bit unreliable. The colorful C200 performed well this time, with enough depth to dive and drums and crispness. The bells performed well. So this colorful C200 wins once.


The fourth song listened to the landlord's favorite minority music "Goodbye Jack."

Most of the music that the landlord usually listens to is actually the work of independent musicians. Most of them are composed of bands, and the main form of music is folk songs. Occasionally, there are some similar rock styles. Generally speaking, they are very niche but very nice. For example, if you miss the band's "Goodbye Jack", the landlord really likes the collision between bass and cockroaches. It's so nice to hear.

The performance of the B&O HiFi module is relatively good, and the performance of the provocative strings is in place. Although the low frequency is not deep but flexible, the landlord likes this feeling; while the colorful part of the Rainbow C200 is in place, but the high frequency is a bit rigid. Although the overall sense of hearing is also good, but feel a little less angry and agile.


Comparing the sound quality of these two devices, the landlord felt that both devices had their merits.

The advantage of the colorful C200 is that deeper dive is deeper and the low-frequency resolution is better. The B&O HiFi module is tri-band comparatively balanced and pleases the ears, but the control of the big scene is slightly insufficient. It can be said that these two players are not perfect.


Both audio devices support decoding DSD music. This is a very high-quality audio specification, but the file size is huge. If a song is played, it has more than 100 M.... The landlord downloaded several DSD music and listened. It is much better than what MP3, WAV and other formats, but it is too inconvenient to download music and can only find this kind of music forum. Oh, forget it!

The landlord worked hard to find the colorful C200 official website, ready to download a computer driver, let it be a USB DAC, use a computer to listen to songs...

Results People's official website said, USB DAC driver is still in perfection, so stay tuned... Landlord is really a dog, this is not fraudulent consumers Mody! Hey!

After the B&O HiFi module is connected to the computer, plugging in the headset computer will automatically identify the device, and then install the driver downloaded from the official website, and you can listen to the song by using it as a USB DAC device. It must be said that the B&O HiFi module has a higher level of sound quality when connected to a computer!


3, control experience

Next we talk about the control experience of these two devices, after all, this is also a place that affects the experience. By comparison, we can also feel the gap between professional HiFi players and mobile phones.

After the LG G5 is installed with a HiFi Plus module, it is still a mobile phone. The normal use of the LG G5 is as good as that of a mobile phone. The body is longer, and it affects the grip feeling a bit.

So you directly open the NetEase cloud music or other music APP, listen to the song directly on the line, very convenient. The B&O HiFi module provides the overall sound quality gain of the mobile phone. If you do not want to use it, plug the headset into the headphone jack on the phone.

The Colorful C200, does not support touch operation, suddenly let the landlord return to the feeling 10 years ago ... and its screen display is really bad!

After booting, the colorful C200 interface is like this, with the folder as the front page.

Entering the folder is a list of songs. One of the things that has to be trumpeted here is that the arrangement of Colorful C200 is arranged according to the artist's name from AZ, and it cannot follow the order of the songs or the album... oh!

This is the playback interface, very retro, and then there is no lyrics...

This is the colorful C200 setting interface, all the features are here, the landlord has nothing to say. To sum up in one sentence, it is exactly the feeling of a function machine more than ten years ago! And everyone can see that the screen display is really bad.

Summarize the colorful C200 control experience, can only be described as poor! Who makes it a music player? There are too many smart phones to use. However, it has a good place where the volume can be adjusted one by one. This is really good.

There is the official promotion of the USB DAC function.


4, summary evaluation

After a period of use, the following summarizes the use of this HiFi player for the Colorful C200.

Directly to the conclusion, 1600 yuan to buy this stuff, the landlord felt very worthless!

If you listen to its HiFi sound quality, you may feel good if you are a newcomer, but it is far from satisfying the picky ears of the landlord; if you use it as a portable song device, the interactive design of the cake will really make People are crazy!

Why do you say that? Because we have entered the era of a smart device, and colorful C200 is still more than a decade ago, the use of the function of the machine. For example, downloading music must be downloaded to a computer and then transferred to a memory card, and then inserted into the player to listen. But how many people use computers every day? Everyone prefers to use a mobile phone, but listening to music on mobile phones is really convenient!

So the advantage of the music player over the mobile phone listening music is in the sound quality, but now the modular mobile phone has emerged. By replacing the HiFi module, the sound quality of the mobile phone is not lost to the professional player. For example, the landlord's hands are LG and B&O's joint production of HiFi Plus ... Of course, the subject of music is too strong, the landlord's point of view is for reference only.

However, there are many problems after installing the HiFi module to the LG G5. It is not perfect. First of all, the fuselage becomes longer, the mobile phone sets are not loaded, and the grip feeling is very poor; then when the songs are heard, it will be severely hot, the power of the mobile phone will be powered off quickly, and it will be very troublesome to remove it. It is easy to lose... ...

Charging the Colorful C200 takes about two and a half hours to fill up. It's not fast;

If you listen to music at full power, you can listen to it for 5 hours.

If you keep listening to the song (but you don't play music), you will be lost in one night.

If you don't play music (stay in a paused state), you'll only lose a little power during the night.

The landlord felt that the colorful C200's appearance was very retro, which was its advantage. Maybe it is more suitable as a photo prop for the landlord...

The advantage of the LG G5 with B&O HiFi Plus is that the phone can also enjoy great sound quality, but -

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to have a LG G5!

Who will buy a 4000+ cell phone for a HiFi module? ? And LG G5 did not feel particularly easy to use, power down too quickly...


So what is the purchase proposal of the landlord?

Both devices are not recommended to buy! !


Let's talk about the colorful C200, a so-called HiFi player, but the landlord sounds really general! Its sound quality certainly has a certain improvement compared to the mobile phone, but the landlord is not worth 1600 bucks, and he always feels a little worse (he has talked about listening to the song specifically).

In addition to sound quality, other aspects are really bad! Does not support touch operation, does not support the body memory (must insert a memory card), does not support the USB DAC (seriously question the official website false propaganda), charging is slow, the screen display is poor, there is a pop sound when cutting songs, download music is not convenient ......The slot is really too much, the landlord very regretted to start this product! (It seems that it can only be used as a photo prop...)


Let's say LG HiFi Plus module, today it is just to compare with the Colorful C200 sound quality, but since so many landlords also come to talk about its purchase suggestions. If it is used as a mobile phone listening device, it can be said that the sound quality of so many HiFi phones heard by the landlord is relatively good, but it also has many problems;

Who will buy a cell phone for a HiFi module? If you do not have LG G5, then this module is meaningless, so its use cost is actually very high. One problem with the LG G5 itself is the serious power loss. With the HiFi module, which consumes a lot of power, the phone will be dead for a while. And the HiFi module has a long body and it's very easy to use. ? So its use experience is not perfect, the landlord is not recommended.


The landlord listens to the songs on the way to and from work every day. The sound in the subway is noisy. No matter what your HiFi, you can't hear it! The same budget is not as good as buying a noise-canceling headphone effect, and more than 1,000 yuan want to experience HiFi? Landlord feels really do not fly ... ... Therefore, a friend with a limited budget, more than 1,000 pieces to buy a player is really useless, if you upgrade the headset may be more effective. Landlord a little glimpse also please refer to the next ha ~


The above is the entire content of this assessment, the landlord is still very young, there are many places do not understand, please also a lot of advice ~ thank you ~


Finally, I wish everyone can buy your favorite music equipment!

I also hope that we can support the original posts of the landlord. We will meet you next time.
