Sony MP3 A844

A844 is, after all, the last generation of high-end, the new series of machines and earbuds on the market is bound to press the previous generation, it is said that A844 has been discontinued, now is to buy a too little one, you go to Taobao to see or have, but to hurry Oh. Personally, I think the A844 is a more classic and collectible machine.

As for the new A864 also has a unique advantage, but the enhancement is not an ear, the following I take A844, A864, X1050 were in the bottom of the noise, soundstage, vocals, mid-frequency, high-frequency, low-frequency to do a brief comparison to give the owner a reference.

Bottom noise: Although the problem of bottom noise can be basically ignored when listening to songs, it can still be clearly felt that the bottom noise of the A864 is close to 0. In contrast, the bottom noise of the A844 and X1050 can be felt when switching on and off or listening to pure music.

Soundstage: 864's soundstage feels wider than A844, more complete, and 864's soundstage surrounded by a better sense of the kind of feeling in all directions, while the 844 is relatively centralized in the middle of some of the stretch, 864 in the process of interpreting the soundtrack, the feeling of the prominent than the 844, and the location of the position is also more clear. The X1050's soundstage is about the same size, but it lacks a sense of envelopment, and the ambience of listening to a song is not strong enough.

Vocal: 844's vocals are obvious to everyone, full of magnetic and charming voice, forward tuning, but also very pleasing to the ear, is to listen to the vocals of a great tool, 864's vocals relative to the X1050 forward, relative to the A844 leaning back, quite a bit of a middle ground, listening to the feeling of comfort, just relatively less modification of the nature of the appearance of a more Realistic.

Midrange: The 844's midrange is fuller, the X1050's is average, compared to the A864's midrange, which is fuller, thicker and more rugged.

High-frequency: 844's high-frequency is relatively gorgeous, rich in detail and particularly rounded and smooth, very good ductility, 864's high-frequency is relatively straightforward, relatively simple a lot, not so rounded, sometimes feel a little too sharp, but A864's detail performance is also not sloppy, very clear.

Low frequency: 844 low-frequency volume is just right, cohesion is very strong, without the slightest dispersion phenomenon, elasticity is also very good, A864 low-frequency volume slightly more, low-frequency strong, cohesion is also excellent, elasticity is also available, in listening to songs in the BASS effect, you can feel the low-frequency is very thick, there is a bit of a fist to the taste of flesh, the dive deeper, and also very clean. And it's also very clean, with a good amount of take-up.

Overall, the A864's sound style favors less modification, more rigid flavor, close to 0 bottom noise also brings more pure and beautiful sound, while the A844's direction is relatively soft and emotional. A864's sound maintains Sony's high-end machine should be the level, but to say that completely surpasses the A844 or the X1050 these machines, it is still unrealistic. The A864's sound has been maintained at the same level as Sony's high-end machines, but it's still unrealistic to say that the A844 or the X1050 are completely superior.
