Отзывы о Наушники Astell&Kern Roxanne II
- Advantages: Beautiful expensive design, high-quality materials, metal case covers are really metal and they can be polished to a shine in case of wear. Two cables are included, both with rigid earhooks, thanks to which the headphones sit securely and comfortably in your ears. There is a bass control on the cable. Large selection of complete ear pads.
- Disadvantages: Oddly enough, but out of the box they do not sound at their cost, although they are capable of much more. There is a bass and a stage, but the middle and high frequencies are clearly lacking and this cannot be corrected by any ear pads. Bad build. After some time, the lid in one of the headphones came off and all the insides became visible. Moreover, it turned out that one pair of bass armature drivers was not soldered, the wires were simply glued to the cabinet wall from the inside. Having opened the second earpiece, I found the same picture, that is, in fact, 10 out of 12 declared drivers were playing. At first I was at a loss, I thought it was a fake, but the drivers were branded quadruple (at medium and high frequencies, at low frequencies – a pair of dual standard ones), so the assemblers messed up, or maybe it was intended. Perhaps the manufacturer has deliberately worsened its Roxanne in order to promote more expensive Layla, because the number of drivers is the same there and there. In general, I do not recommend buying, you will be disappointed. Further commentary can not be read, since it has nothing to do with the headphones from the manufacturer.
- Disadvantages: Considering the indistinct sound of the headphones in the middle and tops, I decided to upgrade them (and these are headphones with a price of more than 100 thousand rubles!) What was done: 1) all acoustic filters (except for bass filters) were removed; 2) the native flexible sound guides were replaced with rigid plastic sound guides of their own manufacture of the shortest possible length, and the nozzles of the reinforcement drivers are directed exactly into the outlet holes, the dimensions of the headphone cases allowed such a “fan” placement; 3) the wiring in each earphone is completely replaced; 4) added adjustment resistors for mid frequencies, now the tone of the headphones can be adjusted both in the lower and in the mid frequencies. Настройку наушников производил под свой плеер Astell&Kern АК320. What I got as a result: the sound volume has significantly expanded to the size of a large room, the sound is really felt outside the head. Mid and high frequencies appeared. The middle ones, as they should be, are musical, and the high ones are pure and transparent. The absence of filters positively affected both the resolution of the headphones and the transmitted volume (stereo effect, if you like, I don't like the term “scene”). But the bass is especially striking, they literally roar, growl in the lowest range, while maintaining a good beat. Here I decided to leave the filters in the setup process. In general, the sound has become more defined in space. Well-mixed recordings convey a seamless, realistic musical picture, which I have never seen in any headphones before. Immersion in music is one hundred percent, you don't want to take off your headphones, but after you take them off, the feeling of a musical aftertaste does not leave for a long time, and this is worth a lot. As a result, having made some effort on my part, I got the perfect sound for myself, and I don't look at other headphones anymore. The choice has been made. Outside, these are the same Roxanne, but inside are completely different headphones with a colossal difference in sound. This, it turns out, is what the Roxanne are capable of, if properly prepared.
