Recently, overseas shopping has purchased the Sirui Arctis 7P+wireless headset for PS5 and PC use. In brief, the process of overseas shopping and the feeling of using it for half a month (self paid purchase, subjective evaluation).
The Long Road to Overseas Shopping
There is only one PS5 third-party headset, namely the Sirui 7P+mentioned in this article. I can't help but buy it.
The Sirui Arctis 7P+earphones are sold at 1699 in domestic flagship stores, 1200 in overseas shopping dealers, and about 950 yuan in Amazon Japan and Amazon UK. To sum up, even online shopping plus more than 90 taxes is much cheaper than domestic shopping, so direct Amazon CN online shopping orders and Amazon Japan package mail delivery.
The logistics time is missed. According to the latest import and export policy, all links of express mail need to be sterilized for 7-14 times, so that orders in early May will not arrive at the customs until the end of May. Customs clearance and standing still is another long process, and half a month has passed without paying attention.
This is not the end. After customs clearance, according to the policy of Beijing, overseas express delivery still needs to be left alone for 10 days. Finally, after waiting for a long two months, I finally got the scarred express. Such a large circle of roads, various water spray disinfection, and the packaging box is only wrinkled and not damaged is also a miracle.
Unpacking
Skip it directly when opening the box. Baidu searches a lot. It is nothing more than a headset with several lines. There is nothing to say and you can directly enter the use evaluation section.
After half a month's use, I summarized some advantages and disadvantages of the headset.
advantage
1. Wireless
The headset comes with a wireless transmitter that allows the PC Devices such as PS5 connect earphones wirelessly to avoid dragging and winding wires, and it is also convenient to leave the seat.
Wireless has solved these problems, so I even want to replace the mouse, keyboard, etc. with wireless connections.
2. Power saving and long endurance
Cerro officials claim that the biggest change of the headset (7P+) compared with the 7P is that the USB-C charging port has been replaced and the battery life has been improved. The typical use time is 30 hours.
After my test, the official did not lie in this project: except for the full charge once when I got it, I always remember to rush for a while, and it seems to have power all the time.
3. Don't clip ears
I have fat ears in my head, but even so, the earmuffs of the earphones can cover my ears perfectly, and there will be no discomfort after wearing them for half a day. At the same time, the weight of the headset is light, and there is no sense of pressure head.
shortcoming
Do you think the above advantages are very weak? Yes, it has such advantages, because any wireless headset with more than 1000+has these advantages.
So let's talk about its shortcomings.
1. Interface
The USB-C interface supports charging and firmware upgrade, but does not support audio DAC conversion. If you want a wired connection, you need to use a 3.5mm pair recorder or adapter cable to connect to a separate interface.
At present, almost all manufacturers do this, so it is uncertain whether it is due to technical constraints or cost considerations. I have seen some manufacturers make USB connection chips that support both fast charging and audio data conversion on Android mobile phones. The price is also very low. I wonder if the headset will change in the future.
2. Caton and Tipping
On average, every 30 minutes, there will be audio jam or skip, which is manifested in that the sound card will play the noise or jump directly on the current "frame", lasting from one second to several seconds.
Some people say that the jamming is caused by 2.4G WIFI signal interference or USB3.0 interface interference, but I have turned off 2.4G WIFI and connected the transmitter of the headset to a place far away from the PC with a shielded cable; There are two or three 2.4G WIFIs in the neighborhood, and the signal is not very strong.
3. Noise
Even if no data is transmitted, when the earphone is turned on to more than 70%, there is still obvious rustling noise.
4. Sound quality
There is no bass. The overall sound is very thin, and there is no sense of being on the spot. I always feel that there is a part missing when listening to music. After using the official software to adjust EQ, it has not improved much.
I don't know much about audio. If I were forced to describe the feeling of listening, it would be like listening to the loudspeaker in the square outside the window with a thick quilt. As for the so-called PS5 3D sound effect, after playing the Guide to the Use of Wireless Controller of Cosmic Robot, I didn't feel particularly amazing.
5. No noise reduction
The home-made stroller earphones with more than 300 yuan are all equipped with an active noise reduction device. Whether it is useful or not, at least there is a gimmick. The real price of this thing is more than 1000, and the official price of the flagship store is 1699. There is not even a gimmick.
summary
Although this earphone ranks first in Amazon's popular earphone sales rankings and has the PS5 3D sound effect certification label, to be honest, the subjective feeling of this earphone is just so so. As for whether it is worth this price, different people have different opinions.
If there is an opportunity in the future, we'd better get a PS5 original earphone to see which one is better.
