Ingenuity for the Sound - EROS H06 Portable HIFI Player


â–³ In today's fast-paced urban life, many fans may be like me. They rarely have the time to leisurely enjoy music at home, and more often use music to send boredom on the way to and from work. Therefore, it is very important for audio lovers like me to enjoy high quality sounds when they are out on the street. It is not difficult to realize my appeal in this era of all-people HIFI. A good-quality earphone paired with a high-quality portable player can easily form a good portable HIFI system without too much cost. With the rapid increase in the number of fans in recent years, it has also promoted the vigorous development of the entire audio industry. In particular, domestic machines in the country's brick industry have performed quite well. Not only are there many well-known senior brands and some old-time HIFI manufacturers, but they also attract a lot of new brands. EROS is one of the younger brands. The launch of the first HIFI player H06 is not too long but it has received a lot of attention from fans. Here we share with you the overall usage of EROS H06.

Although EROS is a relatively new brand, his patriots believe that you must be very familiar with it. As early as MP3 became popular, Patriots already had a high reputation. Nowadays, the EROS brand has become a new waistcoat for the high-end audio industry. The name of this ancient Greek mythology is used in audio products. Quite forcing. As the first audio player of EROS, H06 can feel a kind of careful attitude from inside to outside. In the design of appearance, H06 adopts a slightly retro but hardcore line, and the delicate corners reveal a strong sense of technology. H06's outstanding design made me quite satisfied. This contrasts sharply with some of the exotic players in the national brick industry. Although the player is based on musical quality, it is a high-value product in today's face-watching era. It's easier to make people feel excited.

â–³ From the official pricing of H06 2499, it belongs to the mid-end products in the current country bricks, and the workmanship and materials also show the level that this level should have. The aluminum alloy body used is my personal preference. The delicate manufacturing process allows the error to be controlled within the <0.01mm range, ensuring that every seam is perfectly flat. The metal surface is finely polished and oxidized by the CNC to create a pleasant and delicate touch, while the silver-black-silvery sandwich-like color scheme also presents a more layered visual impression. The back of the fuselage is also very beautiful design, silver frame wrapped with a black acrylic back, also printed above the European classical pattern, looks very beautiful.

â–³ In the internal hardware configuration H06 does not follow the trend of using the popular ES9018 program, but the use of Jun Zheng JZ4760 master + WM8741 DAC + AD8397 op amp solution. Although the WM8741 is inferior to the ES9018 in terms of indicators, it is more than sufficient to use Wolfson's high-end DAC chips in portable audio players. Its sound has a rich analog taste, supports 24Bit/192KHz master-quality music playback, and many high-end It can often be seen on HIFI devices. According to official sources, the H06 internal circuit uses a large number of AVX's high-quality tantalum capacitors, and it also incorporates JRC's volume ICs in Japan. Full materials provide a solid foundation for good sound quality.

△ parameters of the signal to noise ratio ≥ 113dB total harmonic distortion <0.005%, in the national brick in a good standard. When the load is 32 ohms, the maximum output power is 280mW+280mW, which will be a good thrust for the middle and small-shaped low-resistance headphones and earphones. At the same time, H06 can automatically recognize the impedance of different headphones and match the corresponding output power to avoid the risk of impact on the headphones. For mainstream APE, FLAC and other lossless audio files can be very good support, but failed to support DSD-encoded audio files, there are still some small regrets. Built-in 3000mA/3.7V lithium battery, full power state using the iron triangle MSR7 standard volume listening can work continuously for 12.5 hours, endurance performance is good beyond the official promotion of 10 hours. It takes 4 to 5 hours to fully charge the supplied 5V 1.5A power adapter and the charging time is slightly longer.

H06's head is not a big deal but it has a heavy weight in the hands. Thanks to the ergonomic body design, the grip feels quite good. The 2.5-inch low-split display used was unsatisfactory. The viewing angle from below was relatively small, and some dust appeared inside the screen after using for a while, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. The function setting of the system is relatively simple compared with the overall operation logic, but the interface design of the UI appears to be somewhat low, and the fashionable and refined body is somewhat dissonant, hoping to add some fashionable elements in the future system upgrade.

â–³The function design and button layout of the fuselage are also reasonable, especially the big wave wheel resembling a vinyl record at the bottom of the screen, with excellent visual effects, it becomes the finishing touch for the whole machine, and it can be used very quickly to complete various items. operating. The volume knob is designed in the same style as the big pulsator, and the surface is carved with many bumps to increase the visibility of the operation. The fuselage keys and large pulsator are all made from imported ALPS originals from Japan, so that the feel and service life can be guaranteed. Only the volume knob and the large pulsator dampened the passage of lighter passages. It is not so obvious. It is easy to touch the corresponding operation when loading into the pocket. Remember to open the key lock when you are out of the street.

â–³ The fuselage is equipped with two TF card slots, each slot can support up to 128G memory cards, and the two slots can be expanded to a total of 256G of storage space, even for large volume audio files such as 192K 24bit. Can calmly deal with. The main interface is located at the bottom of the machine. The PO interface system provides different levels of volume adjustment options for 64, 100, and 160 grades. This provides great convenience for enthusiasts seeking exquisite volume control. Using a USB cable to connect to a computer, the H06 can be turned into a DAC as a computer's external independent sound card. The LO interface not only supports analog output, but also can be used as SPDIF digital audio output for connecting external devices, making it highly scalable and playable. It is worth mentioning that the H06's LO interface analog output is of high quality and supports four levels of output levels, -6dB, 0dB, and +6dB, which is very useful for connecting portable amps.

â–³ aluminum alloy body is very easy to be injured in the small bump, so in a random accessory comes with a protective layer of the first layer of leather to create a good texture and H06's temperament is also quite tune, can play a very good Protective effects. However, the first black leather case in my design was not very human, blocking most of the functional areas of the fuselage and causing inconvenience in use. The Patriots quickly realized this problem. The products that are currently being sold have been upgraded and designed for the leather case. The open screens are also reserved in the main button areas and the windows are also designed. Item operation. If you are interested, you can search online and you should be able to find pictures of the new leather case.

â–³ With the outbreak of headset fever groups, the demand for high-quality playback products is also growing. Many domestic mobile phone brands have begun to pay attention to the importance of mobile phone sound quality. Many products have joined the independent audio circuits under the banner of HIFI, which has greatly improved the sound quality and has also eaten away the market share of some entry-level bricks. However, after all, mobile phones have limited space in the fuselage, and it is difficult to make revolutionary breakthroughs. With its current quality, it is difficult to give full play to the true level of high-end headphones with more than a thousand dollars. The Chinese-style bricks are relatively balanced in terms of sound quality and portability, and are increasingly favored by more advanced fans. Compared to entry-level products, the overall quality of end-state bricks is much higher than the overall quality. At the same time, it is more easily accepted than the price of high-end products. The national brick circle is basically the protagonist of mid-range products.

â–³EROS H06 appears in this stifling incentive in the Chinese-end national brick market, which is a test of the company's product control and positioning. H06 is indeed commendable in terms of appearance design, and the materials used in the work are also quite solid. In terms of sound adjustment, a relatively conservative route has been chosen to make it easier to adapt to most people's listening preferences. The H06's sound line is slightly warmer and somewhat analogous. The first ear has a very warm feeling. The tri-band distribution is relatively balanced. It has good resolution and transient control. The sound field is not quite wide, and the filling space is full. .

The high-frequency part of the sound is natural and soft, the details of the performance is not unassuming, some convergence for a very high extension but the layering is very good, the elements in the music have a higher degree of recognition, it sounds very natural and has a good Listening tolerance. The mid-range part has a relatively good density, and the vocal lines portraying the very clear tooth-tooth control is also in place, but the sense of hearing is slightly tight and lacks some emotions, the female voice has a younger trend, and the male voice is better than the sun's sense of hearing. The performance of the female voice. In the low-frequency part, I think it is a place that is more colorful. The overall performance is relatively full and sound. The sense of volume has a small gain and the atmosphere is good. The transient control force is in place with good flexibility. The speed is moderate and the details are very good. The show will not have any impact on the medium and high frequencies under big dynamics.

â–³ From the sound characteristics of H06 has a good sense of hearing, relatively more omnivorous more suitable for street use, for listening to Europe and the United States popular, vocal, small organ music, etc. have a better performance. As H06 has a good transient control, it has a deeper interpretation for the large-scale symphony and classical than the entry-level country bricks. It can support certain scenes but there are still some deficiencies in terms of momentum. There are also analytical powers and high-end bricks and Taiwanese machines. Not a small gap. H06 in the case of 32 Europe, the maximum output power of 280mW +280mW, for small and medium-sized earphones and most earplugs have a good driving force, its high frequency of natural beauty is very suitable for the characteristics of moving iron earplugs. I use the DN2000, SE535, and in-ear3 in my hands to get a very good match effect, which can reduce a certain iron taste, especially for the dynamic part of the DN2000 has a full drive to make it have a more active performance. The big headphones in the iron triangle MSR7, Philips X2 these relatively new and easy to push products, driven by the H06 have a good performance, but with the X2 parameters similar to the big brother SHP9000 seems to be unsatisfactory, and the performance is very dull Some of the legs are soft, but the SHP9000 is not very good for the use of a table machine.

â–³EROS H06 has been full of sincerity as a patriot in the test of water in the country's brick industry, giving me an overall impression is still very good. The exquisite metal fuselage and the design with a sense of appearance are very eye-catching, the function setting and the layout of the buttons are also reasonable, and the operation is very smooth. It's just that the design of the UI is a little lacking in fashion sense. If the damping of the volume knob is heavier, it's even better. However, these minor problems will not affect my love for the H06. In the tuning of the quality and sense of hearing to do a good balance, and have a good thrust, although the relatively neutral voice is somewhat conservative, but it will also have a higher degree of freedom in the equipment. The 2499's official pricing is in the mid-end price range between China and China. Behind it, there are many products with strong character and strong performance, which are easily squeezed. As a character that is not particularly distinctive in the midrange, if you can lower the price to 2,000 yuan this level will have a greater temptation.
