最近看了一下REALISTIC PRO这个系列的耳机资料,还是很有意思的。
它是美国Radio Shack的耳机品牌,出了一系列的产品。比较有名的是PRO30那款,而好声的则是PRO50这款。
RadioShack 资料:
总部设于美国德克萨斯州沃兹堡的 RadioShack Corporation (NYSE: RSH) 是美国信誉最佳的消费电子产品专业零售商,销售的产品种类包括无线通信、电子部件、电池和配件以及其他数码技术产品和服务。公司在全国设有6,874 多家商店,据估计,有 94% 的美国人从居住地或工作地抵达 Radio Shack 的商店或经销商处只需 5 分钟时间。公司经验丰富的销售人员和“您有问题,我们就有答案”的标志性定位,为 RadioShack 实现其使命,即“让技术在每个美国家庭中都不再神秘”,提供了强有力的支持。
公司的雄心是成为美国发展最令人羡慕的公司,其所采用的 A-P-O 商业模式为此提供支持。该商业模式的第一部分是支柱 (A) 产品 - 公司以其支柱产品种类,包括无线通讯产品及部件、电池及配件而闻名。公司将继续优化这些业务中的销售规划和资源配置,争取获得更高的收益。供人分享的 (P) 产品是公司的竞争对手选择不参与销售的产品系列,例如内部通讯系统和天线。机会主义 (O) 产品则是那些季节性产品和尚未普及的高新技术和时尚潮流产品。
公司的 A-P-O 商业模式为公司业务在未来的拓展奠定了基础。在这个模式下,RadioShack 组建了三个战略性业务单位 (SBUs)。每个战略性业务单位都将主要精力集中在公司商业模式下的一部分核心产品上。这三个战略性业务单位是Connecting People (人际联系)、Connecting Places (地域联系) 和 Connecting Things (物品联系) 。

Realistic Pro-30 - Overview
The Pro 30 was the only orthodynamic headphone sold by Radio Shack in the US. This model appeared in Radio Shack's catalogs from 1981 through 1986 and was sold exclusively in Radio Shack stores starting at $39.95. It was probably manufactured for Radio Shack by Audio-Technica (or a company that was an OEM manufacturer for Audio-Technica). The drivers in Pro-30 look to be the same as Audio-Technica ATH-2 drivers. The Pro 30 frame (aka chassis or headset) is plain but comfortable and, like the ATH-2, the Pro 30 has easily detachable earpieces, which makes modification very easy. With a bit of simple modification the Pro-30 can sound very good.
The Pro 30 has one mechanical weak point: the yokes that hold the earpieces are fragile and can break if the headphone is dropped.

General Description of the Sound

Pro 30 is bassy with rolled off high frequencies in its stock form. The sound is very forward and there is almost no soundstage. With some modifications (damping and gluing the driver to the baffle) transient response can be improved as well as the frequency response. The annoying forwardness, lack of soundstage and nasal coloration are however impossible to get rid off. In my opinion there are much better orthodynamic headphones in the $40-$70 price range that Pro 30 seems to be selling for at the moment.

Agreed that there's not much special in the stock Pro 30. I wouldn't call it bassy, since the mids are elevated and the top end is weak and the underdamped bass removes bass impact. It's smooth and listenable but blah, just like most unmodified isodynamics. The Fostex T40 particularly comes to mind.
While damping its driver and its vents transforms the Pro 30, the simple mod described below leaves it with a smoothly elevated ("shelved") top end-- perfect for a video production headphone but some people may not like it. "Very forward"? "nasal"? "impossible"? well, not in my opinion, but I can see where it would bother some folks.
This shelved treble response, similar to the sound of Sennheiser's classic MD 421 microphone, [1]is the result of a damping compromise made necessary by the Pro 30's solid, reflective back. Damp less and the bass rises and treble recedes, but transient response suffers. Damp more and bass disappears. This compromise can be circumvented by removing the solid back of the headphone, a nonreversible modification which was carried out by Head-Fi members JadeEast and ericj in October 2007.
Note that it's not necessary to glue the driver to the baffle. There's an elastomer gasket and the baffle's clamps hold the driver very tightly. The Pro 30 is the only ortho/iso headphone I've seen (aside from the Fostex models with screw-down clamps and the Yamaha YHD-3 and its variants) that takes such good care of this important detail.
For a long time, even after the auction prices of Yamaha Orthodynamics shot out of sight, Pro 30s were available for $15 or less, but recently the supply has dried up with the inevitable result. It remains the least expensive way to get an introduction to isodynamic sound without resorting to DIY.

Pricing & Other Data of Interest
In the current market you can find Pro 30 anywhere from $20 to $80 depending on condition.

Here is an example of Pro 30 modification by Wualta
This is a sequence showing the disassembly of my original Pro 30, highlighting the damping pads I added and the original foam pads and how they work together. I'm assuming you already know why the driver and vents need a layer of damping. The Pro 30 is factory damped but it's simply not enough to bring the driver to a [more or less] flat response.
Everything's pretty squashed after being inside for 20+ years; the foam and felt have both molded themselves to the inside of the cup.
Much better mechanical design than the Yamahas, as you'll see. There are [only] 3 decent-sized rustproof screws holding the cup halves (earcup and driver cup) together. As usual, the screw heads are hidden underneath the outer circumference of the earpads, which do not have to be removed to gain access. The sequence begins with the earcup facing down and the driver cup (the part with the aluminum cap) lifted off.
The aim of this mod, as with all my mods, was to improve the sound but to be completely reversible. For example, the large factory foam disc could have its center cut out so it could be dedicated to the task of keeping pressure on the vent damping ring, but I wanted to keep everything as it was so modders would have the option of going back to stock.
The felt used is the cheapest acrylic craft felt you'd find for around a dollar a square foot at a fabric store. Don't be tempted to use denser, "better" felt.
