Recently, we introduced a Bluetooth crystal sound of Harman Carton, and made a personal evaluation on it. I hope it will be helpful to friends who like audio.
Harman Carton's crystal sound may not be the dominant sound effect in desktop sound, but its shape is definitely one of the most eye-catching in desktop sound. As a 1000 yuan audio, it is naturally aimed at mainstream consumers rather than enthusiasts. The extremely tight style will add a beautiful scenery to your computer desk.
Operation method
Harman Carton crystal sound should be SoundSticks series. The design of this audio system is very artistic, and the modeling is one of its biggest selling points. Transparent shape, 8+1 speaker system, cool on the desktop. So there's nothing to be picky about in terms of styling.
Let's talk about the specific functions. After Bluetooth is turned on. Search for a device. If SoundSticks appears, a Bluetooth connection will be established between the phone and the connected pair. After the pairing is successful, the next connection will be automatically paired (but the audio system does not have a Bluetooth switch, and Bluetooth cannot be turned off actively, which is somewhat troublesome). There is still a slight difference between the Bluetooth effect and the audio cable connection effect in the personal test. In addition, for the quality control personnel, the audio cable is generally selected, which can guarantee the anti-interference and sound quality. However, as I said earlier, this is not a audiophile, so I won't pay too much attention to it.
I think one of the design differences of this audio system is the volume control. The touch control volume control is very scientific, but compared with the knob, you don't know what range your current volume is within. Generally speaking, the sound performance within the maximum volume range is not perfect (in fact, no song is played, and the general consumer level sound will have a weak current sound at the maximum volume). Therefore, it is recommended to turn down the volume properly at the maximum volume
Talking about the sound of sound, this can be said to be the essence and connotation of sound. However, this audio can't reach the amazing level from a personal point of view. Specifically, the 6-inch subwoofer has sufficient bass power. The shock effect can be shown. But the bass really needs to sink, just like what Liang Chaowei said in the Infernal Affairs: the high pitch is sweet, the middle pitch is accurate, and the bass is deep. In a word, it is transparent. However, this stereo still can not achieve the perfect coordination of all scales, and there may also be a factor that the stereo cooker is not fully turned on.
The baritone is very important for the performance of the voice, while the treble is very important for the performance of musical instruments and treble singing. Hifi's words are to be immersive. However, the electronic sound of this audio is still obvious. Of course, for a 2.1 audio, it is too demanding to be in the scene. After all, this is mainly for computers and digital products, rather than professional hifi devices.
Overall, the sound model is cool, and the sound quality meets the expectations. The price of the former classic crystal version is only about 800+, and the sound effect is not very brilliant at this price. Therefore, the classic model should be better than the Bluetooth model in terms of cost performance. It is good for speakers that like modeling but are used as desktop speakers (such as computers and bedroom speakers).
