Once again nostalgia - Iron Triangle ATH-EM7x

In fact, I had listened to the Audio-Technica ATH-EW9 a few years ago. - The beautiful and compact ear-hook shape of cherry wood is indeed very flattering. However, after connecting the SONY PCM-D50 and Colorfly C4 players, I was at the time. The idea of ​​purchasing the ATH-EW9 was immediately dispelled. In terms of popularity, the EW9 with a large number of tooth tones is quite a category of “proud of arrogance.” If it is not bundled with the amp, or connected to a desktop computer system, it is difficult to control this product.

After finishing the “Queen” EW9, return to the iron triangle of the Champagne Gold section of this post. ATH-EM7x. - From the introduction of the Internet, the original Iron Triangle EM7 was born in Japan on October 21, 2002, and the EM7 is re-engraved. EM7x produced in 2015.

The first computer at home was purchased in 2003. If it dates back to 2002/2003, perhaps my understanding of audio equipment only stayed at the stage of Edifier 2.1 speaker. At that time, I had no contact with MD (Mini Disc). Or products like the Walkman. - From starter, re-engraving, to re-opening re-engraved version, connected to SONY PCM-D50, perhaps this post can be regarded as "old".


Audio-technica ATH-EM7x

Do not know whether it belongs to the window-type packaging, due to "pseudo-opening box" because, in fact, EM7x box is equipped with two round stickers inside to prevent the collision of the headset during the transport process to wear the surface.


The iron triangle EM7x package is relatively small.


Product parameters:

Type: Dynamic Ring Unit Diameter: Ø28 mm
Drive Unit: Neodymium magnet maximum input power: 100dB / mW
Sensitivity: 110 dB
Impedance: 32 Euro Weight: 30 g
Conductor: 1.2 m U type (Note: Different from Y type isometric wire)
Plug: 3.5 mm L-type gold-plated plug Accessories: Storage bag


In fact, compared to the back of the dark yellow product parameter page, champagne gold EM7x at this time down a little bit more silver texture.


The "L / R" logo is printed on the front of the headset and the "blind spot" is located on the right ear ear rubber ear clip.


- It's not very delicate, but it's not uncomfortable to fit the headphone cotton on the ear.


Small clips on ear hooks can rise above 45 degrees


Macro Lens "Insight": Look at the ear hook part is the interweaving of rubber and metal.


Although only one has a little charm, but the hexagonal screw the first time I think of the product is a mechanical hard drive.


If you think of the unit as a drumhead, the EM7x shape is a bit like a miniature B&O A8 stereo.


3.5 mm L type gold plated plug


- The outermost bag is a dark blue storage bag, associating with a pencil case for reading.



I remember seeing a YKK zipper on a NIKE garment. The same simple package.

Tsai Chin - Folk Songs

ferry


- "The folk song Tsai Chin" was released in 1996. It reinterpreted and included the folk song works recorded in 1979-1982. It is nice to hear it. Naiting is the evaluation of fans of Tsai Chin's album.

"River" is actually a must-have item for hifi headsets that are considered by enthusiasts: Simply recollecting this song, drums, violin, female voice, and a soothing vocal, it is "indifferent" to walk through the mid-high frequency from low frequencies.

- The D50 3 volume is enough to drive the EM7x to normal sound pressure level. In the opening part of the whole song, the low frequency performance is qualitative but immeasurable, and the low frequency volume is slightly insufficient. After that, the EM7x is “acceptable”. Point," The whole song is gentle and gentle, it's not slow, it's kind of meaningful.

Your eyes


In fact, I personally think that the most beautiful song in the album "Feng Ge Tsai Chin" is "Your Eyes": EM7x Although the Saxophone part of the opening of the whole song is slightly a bit, but the instrument is lively and translucent. It is still quite outstanding. Compared to "River", "Your Eyes" is a little more cheerful, and humming, its fresh and mild feeling is just right.

I personally also selected several pieces of Liu Fang's song to test whether the EM7x belongs to the “female poison” series. If the W1000 or CK100 is used as the standard, the EM7x is equivalent to the iron triangle representative style that later took a balanced and higher-quality path. The female voice is slightly sweet, but it does not belong to the kind of traditional iron triangle style that sacrifices some low frequency and replaces female poison.


Adu - "Persist in the End" Album

Persist in the end


- "In the new album, it is still Adu who has a unique, husky voice. In addition to continuing the song of love on the first album, Adu has added a husky voice. , It's refreshing."

Adu's personal second album, released on November 29, 2002, may be 14 years apart, and it is another feeling to pair with the re-engraved EM7x. - In fact, for me, Vinadeau's "Persevere to the End" seems to have returned to the era of carefree elementary school. "CS" "Warcraft 3" and other games are playing half a day in Internet cafes. Open RealPlayer and put on pop music to welcome a fierce battle.

The EM7x performed quite transparently on the opening piano. It was a little fresh and refined. Whether it was "younger" I couldn't get it right, but "Sound King" did feel a bit more fresh and bright under the EM7x. The whole song is lively, but there is no lack of affection. It can be said that the performance of the male voice, EM7x is also pretty good.

to sum up

In fact, in the end, I personally took the MV7x on some of the more demanding "Position Music" albums. In the scenes where there are many instruments, the EM7x performance can only be considered to be marginal due to the slightly converged low frequencies.

Although the 30-gram iron triangle ATH-EM7x is not ear-pressured, it still has a slight ear-feeling feeling when worn for a long time, especially for those users who wear glasses like me, and intuitively feel that the outermost layer of the wire is nylon-blended. There is no obvious stethoscope effect on the earphones. The EM7x is not very rich in accessories, but it is worthy of commendation with a storage bag. Due to the special structure, the EM7x is far less effective than the in-ear earbuds.

- Time for the CD machine, MD is gradually forgotten, the EW9, EM 700 Ti, which was once the product of the iron triangle, has gradually faded out of the market, - U-shaped line, ear hanging earphones, perhaps some special logos make EM7x more It's kind of nostalgic

Halo, if equipped with a good front end, I think that good at pop music, men and women are able to get the EM7x is still a value for money and with a bit of emotion products.
