Taste the sound of the flagship AKG N90Q LE out of the box

For those who love to listen to music, I don’t know how much budget you will spend to buy a truly favorite headphone product. AKG held the first new product launch a few days ago, and the most impressive thing is the cooperation with well-known producers. The N90Q flagship headphone in collaboration with Quincy Jones. This new earphone with a price of 63,000 yuan is AKG's current top choice in terms of appearance, materials and built-in technology. AKG N90Q has special Trunote automatic correction technology, Fine Tuning treble and bass adjustment function, active anti-noise function, DSP technology, and has DAC function. In this article, the editor will introduce the experience to you.

The hard-shell headphone storage box contains the headphone body, BQ27741YZFT-G1 and other accessories that have not been introduced just now. Mobile power supply, this hard-shell storage box has the function of a charging cable set. Users can directly charge the earphones through the charging cable, so that the storage box has not only the function of storage, but also a very good design.

Attached is a 2440mAh battery capacity design. The power output and input I/O ports on the top are 5V 1A output and 5V 0.8A input specifications, and there are power indicator and power check button below.

The related wires of the earphones are in the inner box of the storage box. Inside are all the earphone wires, including the general headphone wires and the headphone wires with wired control. In the case of knotting, but be careful not to hook sharp objects in use, so as not to cause damage. The micro USB cable is used to connect devices such as computers. This headset has a DAC function and can be connected directly with USB.

There are two headphone wires in the wire control. From the words i and A on the wire control device, you can tell whether it is used by iOS or Android system. In addition, there is a 6.3mm headphone adapter. Looking back at the rear of the large storage box, It is also equipped with a micro USB charging port, which can be directly connected to the charging cable and then charge the headset through the charging cable in the box. How to say it is a bit complicated~

AKG N90Q will launch a total of two color matching versions, one is the N90Q LE obtained by the editor, which is a limited black and gold color matching version, and the other is the pure black N90Q version. But no matter what color it is, the N90Q's headphone frame and earmuff shell are made of aluminum alloy, and the ear pads and headband are covered with leather, and the overall texture is quite good.

The left and right earmuffs of the N90Q are equipped with control dials made of aluminum alloy, which is very different from the mechanical buttons and touchpad operation of many earmuff headphones. I personally like this design. In addition to increasing the visibility of the appearance, there is no too complicated way to operate.

The right earmuff control dial is used to adjust the volume. There are also power and active noise reduction switches on the side of the earmuff, Trunote auto-correction function button, micro USB port and 2.5mm audio jack. In addition to charging, the most important thing is to listen to music directly through the built-in DAC.

The control dial of the left earmuff is used to adjust the treble and bass function, which is the Fine Tuning treble and bass adjustment function introduced above. Turning clockwise is "reduce bass, strengthen treble", and counterclockwise is "increase bass, Reduce Treble".

The earpads of the N90Q are made of memory foams of two different densities, and are covered with leather that feels comfortable to the touch. According to the original factory in the interview at the time, this design can not only improve the wearing comfort, but also reduce the amount of inside the earmuffs. Reflected sound, and improved anti-noise effect. In addition, the N90Q has a built-in 52mm Japanese paper diaphragm moving coil unit with 10-25kHz frequency response, 100mW maximum input power, 32ohms impedance and 110dB SPL @ 1kHz/100mV sensitivity specification configuration.

The headwear part is also made of the same material as the ear pads, but the memory foam on the top of the headband is not as thick as the ear pads. The head shape of the vast majority of users.

The AKG N90Q with a larger earmuff design is more suitable for male listeners in actual wearing, but it is a little too large for female friends. Due to the design of large earmuffs, this earphone is quite wrapping enough. , Through the leather material covering and two densities of memory foam, the contact between the earmuffs and the ears is quite comfortable, and it will not be stuffy under long-term wear. The pressure feeling of wearing the head is also less obvious. Although the sponge of the headband is a little thinner, it will not cause discomfort. In terms of overall wearing comfort, the editor thinks it is really quite good.

In actual operation, the volume and high and low audio volume adjustment are controlled by the metal dials on the left and right earmuffs. There is not much difficulty in operation, and it is easy for anyone to get started.

As for the power switch and anti-noise function switch under the earmuff, it is opened and closed by a push rod, and the Trunote automatic correction technology button is configured by a mechanical button. Basically, the overall use is not too difficult. There is no problem with the key position.

The editor first used the attached 2.5mm to 3.5mm headphone cable for trial listening. The music playback device used was the Sony Walkman NWZ-A15 that supports Hi-Res format. Although it is a bit old, this player It is still a lightweight Hi-Res portable music player with a high CP value.

Sorry for going a little too far~ This is not a Sony music player experience sharing article! Let me first say that this N90Q is expensive as a Hi-Res certified headset, but currently it only supports 24bit/96kHz lossless music format. If you really want to pursue a higher 24bit/192kHz music format, you may want to apologize to you Come on~ Use the standard headphone cable for music playback, first of all, it is not difficult to feel the warm and thick feeling brought by the 52mm paper diaphragm monomer. Although life is forward, the background music is not too far away, and the music is also It has a richer sense of hierarchy and a strong analytical ability for sound.

Whether it is the guttural details of the vocals or the performance of musical instruments, you can hear quite a lot of details. It is a pity that the editor thinks that the low-frequency strength and depth of the N90Q are slightly insufficient. Through the high and low audio adjustment function , it is possible to get back a little low frequency, but it is not suitable for the type of music that has a strong sense of rhythm and needs a lively atmosphere. But whether it's pure music (including opera or concerts) or vocal-based music, this headset will definitely not let you down too much.

Through the attached micro USB cable, you can directly enjoy the music in the computer. If you are an osX system user, you must remember to select the N90Q for the sound output device in the system preferences. Make sure the music is coming through the headphones and not the computer's built-in speakers. Listening to music through DAC, you will find that no matter the volume, resolution, etc., more sound details are presented than when using ordinary headphone wires, and the music sounds cleaner, and the sense of surround and layering will be improved. more obvious. However, the style of insufficient low-frequency volume mentioned above can also be clearly felt here, but on the whole, the DAC is convenient and has a better quality music playback experience. You can make more use of this function and don’t waste it.

Through the actual experience of unpacking, wearing and listening, I have to say that the AKG N90Q is indeed a very good headphone product, from the shape design to the selection of materials, with headphone operation buttons and built-in functional technology, plus AKG The tuning technology of this home makes this N90Q really meet its flagship product positioning, but unfortunately its price also belongs to the flagship 63,000 yuan, unless it is a fever listener who really loves AKG to a certain extent, otherwise Like me, most people will decide whether or not to start after careful consideration.
