At the same time, the texture of the product rendering on the front of the box is also very good, which is in line with the aesthetics of most people.

In terms of actual sound quality performance, I chose the song “爱如潮水” for audition. During the audition process, the clear voice of the singer has been well restored, especially the delicate transition and tail sound can be perfectly presented. And the dynamic part of the music also performs well, the low frequency performance is excellent, the stereo effect is also relatively full, and the overall sense of hearing is very good. In addition, we also chose “丁香花” for audition, and the singer’s special voice can be perfectly interpreted.
