I can't afford to have an element that I have.
デンマークのオーディオブランド、Bang＆Olufsen（B&O）の最新ワイヤレスイヤホン｢Beoplay EQ｣が発表されました。直近の｢Beoplay E8 Sport｣から約1年ぶりのアップデートで、ついにアクティブノイズキャンセリング（ANC）を搭載した待望のモデルになります。
ANCももちろん嬉しい要素なんですが、そこはデザインに定評のあるB&O。見た目や所有感といった部分も大幅に強化してきました。テクノロジーとエモーショナルの両面を仕上げてきた、ゴン攻めなモデルをいざやチェック。
Enchanted aluminum case
まずはなんといっても、ケースの質感。素ん晴らしいです。アルマイト加工されたアルミニウムを使っているのですが、B&Oはアルミニウムに並々ならぬこだわりを持っているのはご存知？ イヤホン製造を完全に自社で行なっているメーカーはほとんどないのですが（おそらくソニーとAppleくらい）、B&Oはアルミニウムだけは自社で作ってるんです。言われてみればB&Oはアルミを使った製品が多い。
This "BEOPLAY EQ" further improves durability by applying more alumite processing than usual.It is said that it was used every day because it was used every day.Although it is a material that is hard to get scratches and fingerprints, I was explained at the same time that I want you to feel the wound due to aging.The more you use it, the more you use it, the more you use it.
The appearance that opened with a pucker is also characteristic.The earphone body is sitting diagonally left and right.The opening of the lid and the inertia when closing are exquisitely comfortable.
back.The charging terminal is of course Type-C.The case size is quite compact.
Compared to the latest model "BeoPlay E8 Sport", you can see the short and compactness.Because it is as thin as AirPods Pro, it is very easy to put in your pocket.
The earphone body is slightly larger.The semi -moon slashing is also characteristic, and if you are conscious of this half -month vertical when installing, you can see that the logo is in front and fits.
The specifications are SBC, AAC, AptX Adaptive.Playback time is up to 6 hours with ANC on, up to 7 without none.5 hours (APTX Adaptive Connected 5 on ANC 5.5 hours), up to about 20 hours including case charging.Qi charging, quick charging for about 2 hours in 20 minutes.Equipped with waterproof performance of IP54 and installation detection sensor.
What is the long -awaited active noise canceling effect?
It's the power of ANC, but it's not very strong.It also feels unsatisfactory compared to the 2021 model "WF-1000XM4" (Rather, XM4 is too strong).However, the noise of trains and buses has been cut considerably.Quality where you can talk without discomfort with the outer sound incorporation.
もともと、B&Oのワイヤレスイヤホンはパッシブノイズキャンセリングという名の遮音性が優秀でした。さらにB&Oのイヤホンにはコンプライのイヤーピースが同梱されていて、今回も同梱されています。イヤーピースをコンプライにするだけで、遮音性や音質は大幅に変わってくるはずです。ワイヤレスイヤホンの中にはコンプライを装着するとケースに収まらないものもあるので、そこを担保してくれてるのもありがたい。ちなみにANCや外音取り込み時は風切り音が気になることがあるので、そんなときはオフにしてパッシブノイキャンとして運用すればOKです。
The ANC of "BEOPLAY EQ" is an adaptive ANC (the level of noikan is automatically changed according to the surrounding environment).This is an update around August 2021, and it seems that the application can be adjusted from the app.If you always make the maximum level of Noikan, you may be able to erase even more.
音質については、アコースティック主義を謳うB&Oらしく、かなり原音忠実。ドライバーサイズが今までの5.2mm to 6.The diameter is large to 8mm, and the power of the bass has improved thanks to that.The head of the kick is clear, and even if you listen to a boomy song, you can feel it.The grain of the hi -hat is not crushed, and the sharpness is comfortable.
However, as you can see, it protrudes a little when installed.Even if the male ears of the model are smaller than the average, about half of the main unit can be seen.However, there is no feeling of falling, so it doesn't feel uncomfortable for the wearer, but it looks like it looks noticeable when viewed from around.
There is a point that is more "here" than the sound quality
Updates that contribute to the sound quality, such as the long -awaited ANC installation and the large diameter of the driver, you can still miss the difference, and you can actually feel the difference.But ... after all, the most tension is a beautiful finish, after all.
Because the surface of the lid is very exquisite.A craftsmanship finish that makes you want to trace it with your finger.The border of the AirPods Pro case is quite square (that is pleasant), but it still feels different.
In other words, it is a good accessory case.A charm similar to accessories and pill cases that are good in vintage accessories that I saw in a flea market.It's not like a wireless earphone case, it's not plastic, and the logo claim is modest.But that's good.When placing it next to the PC or taking it out of your pocket, it will be somehow good.The touch is good, and it will just be sloppy.
ケースの仕上がりで音質が変わることはありませんが、愛着は大いに変わってきます。特にワイヤレスイヤホンはスマホと同じくらい常備するものですし、所持していて気持ちがアガるデザインであることは重要。B&Oはそこにレザーのエージング（なんなら音質もエージング）のような時の経過をエッセンスとして注入してきました。なんだか嬉しくなるじゃあないですか。
Take the time to "your own earphone"
"BEOPLAY EQ" is 39,900 yen including the suggested retail price.In addition to the Black Anthracite introduced in the article, there are two colors of Sand Gold Tone.The release date will be Black Anthracite on July 29, 2021 and Sand Gold Tone will be in late August.
The app has an update in mid -August, so those who got Black Anthracite have been waiting for the app for a while.
You see, no matter where you take it, it will be a picture.Although it is a design recommended presence that you want to keep on the side, you have not given up on the sound quality and ANC.I think this balance was unlikely.
