COMPARISON TO ER-4 AND E5C
I can imagine by this point, there's going to be a lot of people thinking of the UE-10 and 2X-S in the same way they thought about ER-4 and E5c. When I described the UE-10 as "dry" and "neutral", I'm sure a lot of people thought about ER-4 in the back of their minds. When I described the 2X-S with "warm", and "smooth", people are probably thinking about the Shure E5c. I have to make a point that such a comparison and mindset shouldn't be made, beause of the following points:
- Both 2X-S and UE-10 offers levels of detail that's unrivaled by both E5c and ER-4. May it be macrodynamic (E5c's bass and visceral impact) or microdynamic (ER-4's instrument separation and detail).
- UE-10 is more analytical than 2X-S, but it doesn't lose musicality in doing so. So it's not just a version of ER-4 with more bass. Similarly, 2X-S has a lot of musicality, but doesn't lose detail in doing so, so it's not just a version of Shure E5c with more detail.
- I have mentioned previously that the warmth of the 2X-S reminds me of the E5c more than ER-4, which is true. The detail and punchiness of the UE-10, however, reminds me of a E5c with less warmth, not a ER-4 with more bass. I think this is just because I like the E5c more than ER-4... counter-arguments can be made that 2X-S is an ER-4 with more warmth.
The whole point is, meanwhile ER-4 and E5c represented two very different end of sonic experiences. UE-10 and 2X-S are much closer to each other in this regard. So if you liked the ER-4, there's no reason why you wouldn't like the 2X-S. If you liked the Shure E5c, there's no reason why you wouldn't like the UE-10 either. Of course, this doesn't make the decision process easier, but I don't think any high-end headphone are easy choices to make. The fact that you can't audition either before you buy them just makes it even harder.
这些高端耳塞的对比分析也清晰的,不过正如他所说,没有试听。在买这些耳机以前真的很难决定。 |
