It's more than just belief in Sony XBA-Z5 and ZX2.

The same is the flagship portfolio performance

Sony NW-ZX2 WALKMAN and XBA-Z5 ring iron headphones (hereinafter referred to as ZX2, Z5) is not a living face, we just reviewed the two models when they were just released (circle iron sublimation Sony XBA-Z5 ear headphones Evaluation, technical achievements Art Sony's new flagship NW-ZX2 evaluation), I remember that due to the time, in the Z5 also returned a few weeks later to receive the ZX2, so I could not experience the ZX2 and Z5 official "suit" collocation, Has always been left a small regret.

Some time ago, we were very fortunate to have received a very powerful combination of ZX2+PHA-3+Z7 (the strongest Hi-Res feels the power of Sony's three flagships). The overall performance is naturally not to mention, it is definitely At present, the highest level of Dafa is not only for home use, but also matches with each other can also be carried out. But to be honest, I still feel that if it is day-to-day to go out, this time the protagonists Z5 and ZX2 may be one of the better choices. As for the reason, it is not because of thrust, nor because of the sense of hearing, but the overall portability. , sometimes this is really a part to be considered. For most users, when you go out, you may not want to bring too much stuff...

Sony XBA-Z5 details are very good

The ZX2 and Z5 as flagship models are undoubtedly representative in Sony's entire audio product line, and many black technologies are also used on them, but we will not mention them here any more. If you are interested in further understanding, You may wish to pay attention to Sony's official website or a separate evaluation of the two models. We will focus on the actual use of the ZX2 and Z5.


The official sense of listening is very good


Compared to the others, the combination between ZX2 and Z5 can be quite a reference, which can clearly explain Sony's understanding of music or Hi-Res Audio. Because of this, the author has always been more inclined to "suit" matching. Compared to constant attempts, tossing, perhaps "suit" match is the best choice in one step.

The same part of the interface is in place

If you are familiar with the WALKMAN series, you should understand the thrust of the ZX2. Sony and some "national bricks" emphasize the concept of thrust is completely different, ZX2 thrust is not very "bright" type, if you directly connect some of the large impedance or the higher the headphone requirements for the drive capability, ZX2 may appear There are some things that cannot be done. However, if the Z5 is driven, the ZX2 is more than enough to make the Z5 play its best.


It is more than just belief that hearing is more informative

ZX2+Z5 this set has a good portability

Driven by the ZX2, the Z5's sound performance is more structured and more informative. In general, the atmosphere of the ZX2+Z5 is very good. Under the ZX2's blessing, the Z5 is able to show a bit of "a sense of hall." At the same time, from the structure of the earphone, the Z5 is also a good example of the advantages of moving iron units and moving coil units at different frequencies. Both the low-frequency and UHF air sensation of the dynamic headphones are also excellent. The high-frequency analysis and the reasonable frequency division design make the Z5 also perform very well in the convergence at the frequency division, and there is no any abruptness at all.

The two with the overall sense of hearing is more reference

I always believed that the characteristics of ZX2 sound are more prominent vocal, pay attention to the degree of separation, and Z5 with it, although the sound field scale changes is not obvious, but the details have improved, can create a very good circular sound field, positioning The accuracy is very high. It is quite open and natural in in-ear headphones. Especially suitable for the performance of various small-scale indoor music or female voices. The rare point is that the Z5 is not poisonous, but it can also be high-analysis. The performance of various male voices, which is still rare in Japanese headphones.

In fact, in terms of the overall style, the Z5 is still a typical Japanese style, and the Z5 also has Sony's sweet vocal traits. As for the Z5's low frequency, it even shows some characteristics of "big ears", quite loose. And it stands out. ZX2's various advantages after listening to the Z5 can be said to be fully revealed. This should be the author's best feeling in the various combinations of the Z5.

Z5 is manufactured locally

Sony ZX2 and Z5 is undoubtedly a set of experience with the official mix, regardless of the sense of hearing or portability have taken into account, in the ZX2 blessing under the Z5 detail is a more obvious improvement, the sense of hearing is very likable . It is worth mentioning that it may be precisely because both models are Hi-Res audio devices, which together can bring a wealth of UHF, perhaps because of this reason the Z5 can also have in-ear headphones are rare The sense of air, the overall sense of hearing is very transparent, it will not make people feel depressed.

Write last

Sony NW-ZX2 WALKMAN and XBA-Z5 ring iron earphones are also two flagship models, so the positioning is naturally not very close to the people, of which ZX2's reputation is well known, no need to mention, as Z5 is as At present, the top models of Sony in-ear headphones adopt a circle-iron structure and are quite powerful in terms of performance in all aspects. In the author's view, the combination of ZX2 and Z5 is definitely a set of outstanding equipment for the street, and the distinct sense of hearing is worth meticulous experience.
