Blow the British HiFi wind and wear the KEF M500 headphones to feel the national customs

The M500 earphone is the first KEF product I came into contact with. For any HiFi brand, no matter how famous it is and how long its history is, the most impressive thing is the sound quality. Music is impressed by the melody. People's heart. Headphones, use sound quality to grab people's hearts. As a British HiFi factory for more than 50 years, M500 is KEF's first earphone product. With years of Speaker manufacturing technology and deep tuning skills, plus that good The exquisite shape, KEF's first earphone masterpiece is destined not so simple.

Although KEF is a British HiFi brand, the M500 is under the glamour of Nordic. The silver-white aluminum frame and matte finish, the slim design looks very strong.

If you use a word to describe the KEF M500, I think it is "noble". You can see that the headphones have no extra design elements. Many components are integrally forged and then fixed by a few small screws. It is worth mentioning that the KEF M500 won this year's German Red Dot Design Award and its design is also affirmation.

Behind a pair of memory cotton ear pads, there are two 40mm neodymium magnet drive units hidden. The earmuffs can be rotated left and right, and the ear pads can also be fine-tuned to fit different heads to ensure wearing comfort.

The length adjustment is more damped and requires a little bit of strength, but does this mean that you don't have to worry about slipping and slipping?

At first glance, KEF M500 gives people a high-end image. The sense of glamorous and noble, like a piece of art, can't help but wonder how its sound has its characteristics. I am afraid I can't simply use a good sound. "To summarize it.

It is called HiFi, but it can't be described with the simple statement of "high-pitched sweet, medium-tone, and low-pitched sinking." The KEF M500 was originally designed to pursue natural sound, and its sound has indeed implemented this concept.

Let's not talk about the quality of KEF M500. After listening to the popular headphones like Sony, the first ear of M500 can be praised with "rich and magnificent". The tri-band is delicate and complete, in balance. There is no loss of taste. Although you can't say that the tri-band is not uniform like the Sony MDR-1R, you can still hear the obvious sound orientation. The omnivorous food such as the Sony Z1000 is more powerful than the KEF M500. However, the faint vocals and the tuning of the singularity are not necessarily good to hear. Where is the uniqueness of the KEF M500 that focuses on HiFi? Music is the best way to interpret.

If you don't know Florence & The Machine, an indie rock band from the UK, it doesn't matter. Paul Epworth, the producer of their second studio album Ceremonials, always knows, he is the behind-the-scenes producer of the famous Adele. Therefore, he won the 54th Grammy Award for Best Producer of the Year (non-classical). He often produces songs with rich elements and rich British flavor. He is good at independent pop, rock and other fields, the most widely circulated. It’s the song Rolling In The Deep.

Ok, it’s a bit far-reaching. In fact, Xiaobian wants to explain that Shake It Out is an authentic British flavor. From the genre classification, Shake It Out belongs to British Baroque music and incorporates art. Rock, soul and gospel elements. Baroque music originated from the courts and church music of the European Renaissance. It is characterized by extreme luxury and creates a pleasant atmosphere. In short, it is "rich and magnificent", not very much with KEF M500. Matching?

The beginning of the organ is very fast, the tremor of the overtones, the singer Florence Welch, a thick British cavity interspersed, the sound is calm and transparent, the most obvious feeling is that the high frequency of the KEF M500 is very gorgeous. Compared with the previously experienced Sony MDR- 1RNC is different, the latter's high frequency is delicate, and the high frequency of KEF M500 can go straight into the sky, and it is quite active. Unlike the Z1000 which belongs to the monitor series, the Z1000 has a wide range and the sound is not gorgeous. The KEF M500 sound field is not wide, but it can do as much as possible with the three frequencies. The fullness of the sound is different from the explosive power.

Compared with the Z1000, you can clearly feel that the sound of the M500 is even higher. The vocal of the Z1000 is in the middle of the head, while the M500 rushes to the height of the eye. Although the resolution of the Z1000 is better than the sound field, the sound density is not Gao.KEF M500 has a better "dance", does not deliberately pursue a loud sound field, the rhythm is short and smart.

It’s the other side of the sea, but this time it’s not the Atlantic Ocean, but the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Australian male singer Gotye teamed up with Australian female singer Kimbra to bring up the first time in the US Billboard Hot 100 list and the first in the year. I Used To Know, and won the 55th Grammy Best Pop Chorus, the annual production of two awards, can be described as infinite. Like Shake It Out, this song is also a big national style, the main Gotye is good at using various Rare musical instruments.

The KEF M500 still displays its gorgeous high frequency, and the percussion sound of various instruments is crisp and sweet. It is very good at creating a sense of air in a limited sound field. Whether it is a vocal or a musical instrument, at KEF The M500 is very transparent and natural. With this "air pressure", the sound field effect of the KEF M500 reverberates for a long time, and it really achieves stereo. In the past, some headphones may have a larger sound field, but the sound is flat. The KEF M500 is three-dimensional. On the basis of it, it has made a beautiful echo.

Its tri-band is very balanced, balanced to you do not care who is tall and who is low. Its low frequency is elegant, the drums are always on the spot, the overtones and elasticity are just right. Unlike some popular headphones brands, their The low frequency performance is very eye-catching. It is not that it is not good, it is very good. Just KEF M500 will do the low frequency, you don't even have to pay attention to it, because it is full and tasteful. Its presence is very low, yet it Show its charm at the right time.

On the contrary, the KEF M500's mid-range shows the middle way, the male voice is calm enough, the female voice is fascinating. Although it can hear the traces of dyeing, the "dance smell" is fascinating. It can be said that the tuning of the KEF M500 is very complete. The triad's unbiasedness makes it able to cater to a variety of styles. This may be the power of KEF, faithfully restore the natural sound. If you really want to say some shortcomings, then the "dantastic taste" that never disappears may not be too good. People's tastes.

Headphones are actually a field that sets the strengths of each family. What the manufacturer gives is the music language of each headset, just like there are no identical leaves. The KEF M500 is a pair of music that allows you to calm down and enjoy music. Headphones, this is quite valuable. When the resolution has reached a certain height, design and tuning become the last way to embody their characteristics.

It can calm people not because of superior quality, but to let the listener return to the most essential music. This is the most precious place of KEF M500.
