The launch of Apple AirPods has brought headphone competition into the "wireless" track. As more and more mainstream domestic mobile phone manufacturers cancel the 3.5mm headphone jack, TWS headsets have ushered in a market peak. In order to innovate, FIIL, the mid-to-high-end headphone brand founded by Wang Feng, once again launched the FIIL CC true wireless Bluetooth headset (hereinafter referred to as FIIL CC), which is industrially designed by German designaffairs and subverts the inherent form of true wireless.
New industrial design: no need to flip the cover for open storage
Inspired by Apple’s AirPods, many TWS Bluetooth headsets are all open-cover designs, which is like putting an elephant in the refrigerator. The steps are the same, but the operation is a little more complicated. Open the cover, take out the earphones, and close the cover; then open the cover, put in the earphones, and close the cover.
So German designaffairs has made slight improvements in industrial design, subverting the inherent form of true wireless earphones, highlighting the open storage design, and demonstrating the tough and simple line aesthetics, making them both earphones and trendy accessories that look exactly like A small cigarette case.
In terms of earphone design, FIIL CC adopts a personalized separate process. The earphones and the body are made of different colors and materials, allowing the body to use square tube thin-wall injection molding technology, combined with minimalist line design, making the earphones Gaining a slimmer and more technological look.
Such a separated design has another advantage, that is, it can separate the electronic part of the motherboard responsible for transmitting Bluetooth and the earplug design unit responsible for pronunciation, reducing mutual interference. From a Hifi perspective, isolating these two parts will make the sound better.
FIIL CC adopts a semi-open design that does not squeeze the ear canal, and has a compact body that is lighter than A4 paper. It is stable and comfortable to wear. After wearing it for a day, I often forget that it exists.
The two headphones of FIIL CC each have built-in Bluetooth 5.0 chips, and either one can be connected instantly. With FIIL flash connection technology, single and binaural modes can be switched seamlessly.
The same headset has different performance. APP can unlock more hidden functions
APP FIIL is a software specially designed for FIIL headset. Through the software, you can connect the headset and make corresponding settings. FIIL CC true wireless Bluetooth headsets are specially designed to create targeted solutions for three scenarios: playing games, listening to music, and watching videos. They can be switched according to the actual needs at the time, truly allowing users to enjoy a synchronized audio and video experience when they see and hear.
In addition, you can also set the sound quality mode yourself, including DSP enhancement, EQ settings, customized EQ sound effects, etc. These cannot be adjusted in terms of hardware. Even headphones of the same model have different sound performance, so the playability is greatly enhanced.
In terms of touch control, FIIL CC uses capacitive touch and has two preset control schemes (standard mode/all-in-one mode). You can complete playback, pause, answer and other operations without a mobile phone with just a touch. It automatically defaults to the standard mode when it is turned on, and the all-purpose mode needs to be turned on in the APP.
The all-round mode is more suitable for smart players. After all, adding functions is more cumbersome, so ordinary white-collar users are more suitable for the standard mode with simple operations.
Multi-mode experience: What is the strength of FIIL CC?
FIIL CC uses a 13.1mm customized large dynamic coil and a titanium-plated three-layer composite diaphragm to give the headphones surging musical energy.
Game experience:
Adjust the mode to the game option in the APP, and select "Chicken", a game that requires low-latency headphones, for testing.
"Chicken" is a must-have game for listening to sounds to identify the position. In the game, listening to the sound of gunshots, footsteps, vehicles and even the sound of changing magazines can affect the player's chance of eating chicken. Therefore, sound accounts for nearly half of the impact on winning rate. The first is a loud field environment, such as a wide field outside. Not only can you hear the gunshots on the left and right, but you can also hear whether the sound is from the front left or the rear left.
During the actual measurement, the feedback from FIIL CC was very timely. The sound field heard was consistent with the mini map logo, so I could judge and react in advance yesterday.
If you have a small sound field in a house, you can clearly hear the source of footsteps. For example, the size of footsteps is different downstairs or in the next room. If you identify the direction in advance, you can prepare for battle in advance. After a round of testing, it can feel that the pictures and sounds are completely synchronized, and the advantage of low latency is very obvious, which is also the main factor in winning the chicken game.
Music experience:
The music test played several songs of different styles. The overall feeling is that FIIL CC is definitely not a simple mono-channel superposition. The sound levels of the two headphones are distinct. The vocals and the soundtrack can be perfectly combined. The treble is transparent and the midrange is calm. The biggest feature is that the bass is processed perfectly. The sound is rich and clear, almost comparable to headphones.
In particular, the song "Don't Forget Peace of Mind" by Zhang Jie can be said to cover the three stages of low frequency, intermediate frequency and high frequency. It has excellent audio resolution of "solid low frequency, pure intermediate frequency and transparent high frequency". The default sound effects in music mode can be said to be very good. In addition, you can fine-tune the EQ through the APP to achieve your favorite taste.
FIIL CC supports call noise reduction. Each earphone has 2 built-in microphones and uses adaptive beamforming technology to accurately distinguish the sound of the user and the environment. Real-time attenuation of environmental noise, preferably by 90%, so that the other party can hear you clearly even in a noisy subway.
In terms of battery life, the earphones can play music continuously for 3 hours when fully charged, and the charging box can recharge the earphones an additional 4 times. It is calculated that the battery life for playing music is up to 15 hours, which is not a problem to meet the needs of users throughout the day.
Full text summary: FIIL CC true wireless Bluetooth headphones are unique in design, subverting the inherent form of true wireless headphones, and the open storage method should be favored by fashionable users. Coupled with the semi-in-ear design and the weight of A4 paper, it feels comfortable to wear and has obvious advantages among products of the same level.
In terms of actual experience, the unique APP design can unlock many hidden functions of FIIL CC headphones, so that the same model of headphones can show different styles to meet the needs of more users. Currently, this product will go on sale online on March 31. The new product will receive an immediate discount of 50 yuan for the first time, and it will only cost 349 yuan. Looking at the TWS Bluetooth headset market under 400 yuan, the price-performance ratio of FIIL CC is very obvious. Interested friends may wish to pay attention.
