"CX Plus True Wireless" equipped with NC.First AptX Adaptive compatible

CX PLUS TRUE WIRELESS

I tried to listen to the actual machine for a short time, so I will deliver the first impression at the end of the article.

"CX Plus True Wireless" is newly taken in "CX Plus True Wireless" while taking over the sound of "CX TRUE WIRELESS" (released on July 8/actual sale/17,380 yen), which is the core of the "CX Series" that expands the base of Zenheiser fans.Added an NC function (feed -forward type) that reduces the surrounding noise and an external sound import function that allows you to listen to the outside sound while wearing earphones on your ears.

The fact that it is equipped with a proprietary 7mm diameter transducer (dynamic driver), which is equivalent to the upper model "Momentum True Wireless 2", is the same as the existing CX True Wireless.

Equipped with Bluetooth SoC made by Quarcom and Bluetooth 5.2 complies with Class1.The codec is the first Zenheiser product to AptX Adaptive, which clings to high sound quality/low delay in addition to SBC, AAC, and APTX (CX True Wireless is to AptX).By combining it with AptX Adaptive -compatible Android smartphones, the bit rate is automatically optimized according to the communication environment, and it supports 24 -bit transmission.In addition, it supports "TrueWireless Mirroring", which enables simultaneous connections left and right, to prevent outlets.

The addition of the NC/external sound import function and the main functions other than the AptX Adaptive/TrueWireless Mirroring compatible functions are inherited from CX True Wireless.Equipped with two beam forming microphones on one ear and two left and right, it supports hands -free calls.It has a side tone function, and even if you go out, you can talk naturally without the large volume of the voice you are talking about.It is also possible to use only one ear on both left and right.

The earphone body is IPX4 waterproof specification.Various operations can be performed by touching the housing Zenheiser logo.It also supports sound quality adjustments and various settings by equalizer from the "Smart Control" application (free) for iOS/Android.

The playback frequency characteristics are 5Hz to 21kHz, and the sensitivity is 114db.Continuous playback time (when NC off) is up to 8 hours for earphones and up to 24 hours in combination with charging case.The charging terminal of the case is USB Type-C, which does not support wireless charging.The weight is about 12g for both ears.Includes charging cable and 4 size earpieces of XS/S/M/L.

"CX PLUS TRUE WIRELESS" has become new in less than two months since the release of CX True Wireless.I borrowed the actual machine before the release and played it for about 10 hours and checked the sound.

According to the product name, I thought that the tendency of the sound was similar to the CX True Wireless, which can enjoy the low frequency of the clearness while maintaining the clearness, but if you listen carefully and compare it, the CX PLUS True Wireless is natural with a calm, spooky sound.There was a sense of spread, and I personally felt like I had returned to the CX 400BT sound.

In addition, the aptX adaptive codec is compatible with wireless transmission equivalent to 96kHz/24 -bit high -resolution by combining it with compatible devices, but when confirmed in Xperia 5 combined this time, it is transmitted in 48kHz/24bit equivalent to AptX HD.rice field.

The continuous playback time is up to 8 hours with NC -off, but when I tried to try NC -on and AptX Adaptive connection, the battery level of the earphone was less than 10%, and the smartphone was less than 10%.The Bluetooth connection with it has expired.

Then check the NC performance.The NC function of Zenheiser is particular about the "natural effect without pressure", and aims to keep the sound stand out while suppressing noise.When I actually tried it, there was no feeling of oppression to the eardrum, but it still suppressed the noise of the air conditioner, and the sound of the car that groaned low.

The naturalness of the outer sound import function is also a point to note.Even if you have a complete wireless earphone with the same function, depending on the thing, it may seem difficult to use it regularly due to the smashing sound, but CX PLUS TRUE WIRELESS has not removed the earphones from the ears, but "removed.You can hear the outside sound with a sense.It is so natural that there is almost no discomfort, so when you take a walk outside, you can use it as BGM -like while turning on the outer sound capture.

It is said that CX True Wireless will continue to be sold together in the future, and has a difference with the existence of NC/outer sound import function and the technology around Bluetooth, and has two options.Which one to choose is decided by budget and what to focus on.If you want high sound quality and no -can, you can say CX Plus True Wireless, and if the sound is good, if you don't need Noikan, CX True Wireless.
