In fact, I started to pay attention to the brand TANCHJIM from the beginning of its launch. I remember that when they launched their first product, Darkside, I criticized some brands in the forum for not making appearance and packaging seriously, and used it as a positive teaching material. To compare. However, due to fate, it was only after nearly four years that he wrote about his product for the first time. And this product is TANCHJIM’s first true wireless bluetooth earphones——TANCHJIM ECHO.
Opening the box is the charging case and earphones. The colors of the eartips and charging cables below are also very uniform, all in white.
The charging case is a very round oval shape. Although there are many oval charging cases on the market, the TANCHJIM ECHO charging case still has its own design sense, and the opening and closing structure is also different from the magnetic limit structure of most charging cases.
Some people say that the opening and closing structure of the TANCHJIM ECHO charging case is somewhat loose. In fact, I asked the engineer about this question during the TANCHJIM Beijing conference four months ago. He explained that he still made a certain compromise on the design of the box cover, which is enough to see the priority of the design in TANCHJIM. In actual use, there will be no loose earphones, and there is no problem with one-handed opening and closing.
The shape of Echo earbuds is very similar to the family style of TANCHJIM, but because TWS needs a larger chamber to place the battery and bluetooth components, TANCHJIM ECHO also combines ergonomics to optimize the overall shape of the cavity to a certain extent, and the actual wearing experience Still very good.
In terms of user experience, although TANCHJIM ECHO is a TWS headset produced by a HiFi brand, for me who are used to the TWS carefully designed by mobile phone manufacturers for mobile phone users, TANCHJIM ECHO has brought me a very good experience in the user experience. The user experience other than sound is already at the upstream level of TWS, far exceeding my expectations for a TWS headset produced by a HiFi brand.
First of all, the connection stability as a basic function is done very well. In recent use, even in crowded environments such as school buildings, canteens and subways, the connection is quite stable, and there has been no disconnection.
Secondly, the touch logic as a human-computer interaction is simple, easy to understand and easy to use. Although this sentence is very simple, but in fact, few brands do well. TANCHJIM ECHO earbuds and charging case do not have buttons, so the interactive function is completely realized by the touch area on both sides of the earphone.
Long press the touch position to turn on the pairing function, click pause/play, double click left/right ear previous/next. During the use process, there have been no unresponsive or wrong reactions in various operations. It is hard to imagine that this is the first TWS earbuds of TANCHJIM.
Again, the design details are attentive. The indicator light of the TANCHJIM ECHO charging case adopts the design of a light strip. The breathing light on the earphone is ingeniously designed at the front filter. The light is also changed from a common flicker to a slower breathing effect. The prompt sound is not a blunt ding-dong sound or a mechanical human voice. The prompt sound is soft, comfortable, and not scary.
The appearance of the earphone is a product of TANCHJIM. Although the center of gravity of this type of headset will not be close to the body, the light weight makes stability unnecessary. In addition, there is a short tube and small-diameter eartips in the included accessories to optimize the wearing experience of different users.
In terms of sound, as a true wireless bluetooth headset launched by HiFi manufacturers, the sound level of TANCHJIM ECHO far exceeds that of products launched by major mobile phone manufacturers. TANCHJIM also has a superb level and its own unique ideas in sound tuning. As a HiFi brand, TANCHJIM ECHO has made use of its strengths and circumvented its weaknesses, giving up adding more difficult functions such as active noise reduction, and putting more energy on sound tuning. Give full play to your own strength in comparison with the TWS of the mobile phone factory.
The sound style of TANCHJIM ECHO has the characteristics of TANCHJIM, three-frequency balance, no obvious shortcomings, and the sound style is younger. My first impression of TANCHJIM ECHO is that it is natural, with natural sound and the density of bluetooth headsets from mobile phone manufacturers at the same price. And the sound is solid and not thick, the style is light and transparent, the thickness is moderate, and it will not be too heavy to feel tight and breathless.
The sound field is also a very good part of TANCHJIM ECHO. The sound has a real sense of space and excellent levels. Although the scale is small, it does not give people the feeling of narrow space, and the vocals are more prominent, which is more suitable for popular music.
As a bluetooth headphone, low frequency and high frequency can give people the feeling that there is no missing information. The low frequency has rich extension depth and overtones, and the high frequency is bright and extended. The more you listen, the harder it is to imagine that this is just the first TWS of TANCJIM.
TANCHJIM ECHO also needs further improvement: First, the earphone lacks a sensor inside and cannot be taken off detection. For in-ear earphones without transparency mode, you need to take off the earphones and manually pause the music when you are talking to people. The second is that the headset and charging case have no physical buttons, so the pairing operation also occupies the touch operation. If you want to adjust the volume, you can only adjust the volume through the mobile phone. There is room for further improvement in the convenience of use.
As a true wireless bluetooth earbuds priced at $100, the industrial design, sound quality level and bluetooth performance of the TANCHJIM ECHO is very good. For those who are more sensitive to sound quality, TANCHJIM ECHO is also the most worthwhile true wireless product.
