Aurisonics ASG-1




簡介

自從隨身耳機改成EX600後,有一陣子都沒再觀望其它的耳道耳機,去年底跳水的X10在手上撐沒多久,還是覺得EX600比較合口味。 上個月入手冷門的EPH-100,和EX600組合算不錯的搭配,兩者都是中階耳道的強力候選。 原以為這組合可以暫時不再更換耳道,但這支ASG-1的購入卻打破了計劃,手上的隨身用耳機勢必再度洗牌。

話說冷門廠牌耳機一直是個人入手的最愛,在看到Aurisonics的官網介紹後,忍不住就衝了一支。 入手的ASG-1是非客製耳機,有著類似客製耳機的造型,可選擇客製耳塞。 AS-1則是客製耳機,和ASG-1同樣主打15mm的動圈單體,可換線設計,除了外殼是用客製的耳模,還有其它功能可供選擇,價格當然也不同。 除此外官網上標榜Made in USA,以及hand-made製作,在品質上應該可以期待。

開箱

Rev 1.0









Rev 1.1





Rev 1.2





比較

Rev 1.1音場的感覺有點像TF10,但中頻相當前面,和TF10中頻退後的聲線不同;Rev 1.2偏向MMDT和MTPC中間,和1.1同樣是中頻向前。 Rev 1.2比較泛用,但是如果喜歡中高頻會覺得少了亮度;Rev 1.1則是以live music的調音為目的,和其它耳機相比較為特殊。

TF10和ASG-1相比,人聲上明顯還是沒ASG-1突出,音場在TF10聽起來的感覺是寬廣,ASG-1則是著重於環繞感。 整體上兩者都是處在暖系的對側,和1964-T及SM3對比也稍乾。 同樣的,TF10與ASG-1各保持所屬動鐵和動圈在解析/融和的特色,很容易分辨。


心得

Rev 1.1評價兩極是可預料的,特別取向的耳機喜歡的就很喜歡,同時容易引起不少反對意見。 有些人不合自己喜好就覺得該耳機有嚴重問題,像SM3剛出來也不少人看貶。 如果耐聽是指長時間使用,那加了filter版(Rev 1.2)較占優勢,因為平穩的聲音在連續使用幾小時後比較不容易累。 Dale曾說過原本ASG-1/AS-1的調音是讓你感覺站在現場舞台邊的那個感覺,以個人聽的音樂來比較,Rev 1.1和1.2差別的感覺大概是類似現場和錄音室的不同。
