In such a "headset warring country era", they have always insisted on parity. What kind of "amazing" headphones can the quality PSB and Paul Barton launch?

Open the box, PSB M4U 2 at first glance, there is no "stunning" feeling at all. The combination of silver and black in the middle of the law is a low-key and steady route. However, the shape of the fancy design is actually It is carefully designed. It is the famous American minimalist style boutique created by David Farrage, the famous designer and award-winning DF-ID design company in New York. This calm and restrained high-quality appearance, together with the master Paul Barton's personal design, is equipped with the unique "Room Feel" technology.

Low-key fashion that doesn't fade at any time

In recent years, "fashion headphones" have been hyped up. It seems that as long as they are artists, singers or famous music producers, the name that DJ loves is fashion. If you don't wear it, it seems that you don't have a famous brand bag. So, nowadays, there are young people everywhere wearing the latest earphones to play cool, and from time to time to catch up with the trend of "changing headphones, such as changing mobile phones," and suddenly feel that they are caught in the commercial trap of the industry and celebrities.


In fact, true fashion is a self-life attitude, not a celebrity or a businessman, just like Muji seems to be plain and undesigned, but it is a unique style that never fades. Good fashion products, whether it is a brand-name bag or a headset, must have a simple design and a good quality foundation, no matter how many years can stand the test of time. Nowadays, many people ignore the fact that the real purpose of headphones is to listen to music. If you buy headphones with poor sound quality and listen to them for a long time, you will only hurt your ears. It is better to buy quality once. With a good pair of headphones, you will save money to buy other good-looking accessories. Look at the low-key appearance of the PSB M4U 2, the head of the beanie Tingting that is worn in the garden is not awkward, and it is more interesting than the fashionable headphones. Moreover, because the anti-noise headphones can completely isolate the outside world. Noise, even on weekdays by public transport or on holiday, with crowded rides, you can easily listen to music and enjoy your life.



PSB M4U 2's unique appearance (picture 1 above) comes from the hand of David Farrage, a New York designer who has designed many famous brands (such as the Samsonite suitcase that the Anglo-Americans love). The PSB looks simple and eye-catching. The Imagine series speakers (above Figure 2) are also from their creativity. He skillfully mixes a variety of materials such as metal and leather with fine lacquer, creating a smooth, streamlined and elegant visual impression for the M4U 2.

The wide-band polycarbonate headband of the PSB M4U 2 earphones is as black as a piano-like lacquer, with an oval-shaped earmuff shell that blends black steel and metal. It is very holistic.


The part of the earmuffs wrapped in soft leather is ergonomic, and with a four-point gyroscope design, it can completely cover the ears, which is both comfortable and achieves the best anti-noise effect.

David Farrage pays great attention to the ease of use of the design. The PSB M4U 2 is not only worn without any pressure or discomfort, but also easy to fold and carry; of course, David Farrage also designed a storage box for placing PSB M4U 2 headphones, although it is a bonus. However, the solid texture and rounded curve seem to have the shadow of a famous suitcase.

Paul Barton and PSB technology re-innovation

At the CES 2012 show, which was held in Las Vegas in the United States earlier this year, the PSB M4U 2 Active Noise-Resistant Headphones won the annual "Innovative Design and Engineering Awards". In fact, the 40-year-old PSB is a frequent visitor to this award. Many of its speakers have been affirmed by the CES jury, but the headset is the first one. When the first headset is released, it won the grand prize. It is conceivable that M4U 2 How good it is.

Paul Barton's goal in designing the M4U 2 is to introduce the performance of the past PSB speakers into the earphone field, so that the lovers can enjoy the happiness of being embraced by music anytime and anywhere. The model M4U is the meaning of "MUSIC FOR YOU", obviously locked The user is really who cares about listening to music. Therefore, even if it is just a headset of more than 10,000 yuan, there are still NRC precision and advanced instruments behind it.

In addition to the PSB's unique and unique technology, the M4U 2 is equipped with a technology called "Room Feel". Through the calculation method of this technology, the effect of listening to the spatial reflection sound can be enhanced, and the sin of the traditional earphone sound field is relatively flat and has no depth level, so that the user feels the atmosphere of the whole set of high-level sound system in the listening room.


The M4U 2 has a built-in active amplifier circuit. By turning the operation button on the right ear cup to “ON”, it can be turned into a headset with a portable earphone. When you go out, use an iPod, iPhone, iPad or smart phone. When the output power of the portable music source is weak, the benefits of reinforcing the sound quality, reducing the music distortion, and making the playback more beautiful can be obtained, and the power of the handheld devices can be extended, and both can be said to be both.

Is this very power hungry? No, just use two AAA batteries to provide up to 60 hours of active circuit use. However, what if I don’t have electricity when I go out and can’t buy a battery? It doesn't matter, just change the operation button to "OFF" and switch to full passive mode to continue listening to music without a battery, but the sound quality will be degraded by the source.

In terms of active noise cancellation technology, perhaps Paul Barton considers that we are rarely in the same environment where both sides have the same noise, and in order to achieve more accurate noise cancellation, PSB has developed an unprecedented system with four microphones. The two earphones have a microphone for measuring noise inside and outside, which makes the active noise cancellation effect of the M4U 2 superior to that of the same type of headphones.

The user can arbitrarily decide whether to activate the noise canceling mode under the condition that the active amplifying circuit is used. The switching is very simple, just dial the operation button to "ANC", the four microphones on the M4U 2 earphone will detect the noise inside and outside the earmuffs to generate anti-noise signals, making people stay away from the outside noise and thus more easily immersed. The beauty of music. What's more convenient is that even if someone comes to talk, you don't need to take off the headset. Just press the "M" button on the transmission line to hear the outside voice. For those who are too busy to work or relax, they don't want to move. It is intimate design.

PSB's intimate point is not only this, compared to other manufacturers with detachable headphone cable for convenience, M4U 2 headphones in the bottom of the left and right earphones are equipped with a headphone jack, more innovative, because everyone It is customary to place the source of the source differently. You can change the headphone cable arbitrarily without hindering your body's activities. This is definitely good for crowded mass transit vehicles such as MRT and airplanes. correct! The M4U 2 is equipped with a dedicated earphone connector for the cabin, which may cause the business guests who often take the opportunity to scream "sighing."

Full, solid, powerful tone and lively dynamism

There are many earphone brands on the market, some of which are designed to give a more vivid impression in a highly competitive environment. They tend to emphasize certain frequency bands to create distinctive features, either to add special materials at low frequencies or to make high-frequency details Sharp, or highlight the thick and warm mid-frequency. However, these and the neutral fax purpose pursued by Paul Barton to create PSB, of course, can not appear on the PSB headphones. In fact, this M4U 2 headset continues the PSB's consistently full and thick personality, cheerful and lively and responsive. Take Jennifer Warnes's The Hunter album as an example. The second "somewhere, somebody" is quite beautiful but also very The sound of the sound system is tested, but the PSB M4U 2 headphones are easy to pass. Jennifer Warnes's voice is more intensive, and the Bass plucking throughout the song is full and full of flexibility, leaving behind some low-frequency or over-feeding headphones, clearly conveying the low frequencies that are quite common in medium and large audio systems. Texture and rhythm. On the other hand, the harmony of Max Carl and Perla Batalla fully outlines the huge but not loose sense of space. The only shortcomings are the medium and high-frequency percussion instruments such as hand-cranked sand bells and triangular irons. The details and transparency are stronger in this respect, and the texture is slightly hot and crisp. However, it is not enough to hide, the PSB M4U 2's profound depiction of the singer's emotional interpretation is enough to immerse the listener in the beautiful melody.

Stokowski's Rhapsodies includes six great pieces of music he recorded in 1960 and 1961, and is one of the famous recordings of RCA Living Stereo. For half a century, from the earliest vinyl record versions, 180 grams of vinyl records, CDs, 20bit processing CDs, HDCDs, XRCDs to SACD and other different carrier formats, this performance and recording are all wonderful tracks, always the most One of the popular reprints. why? The reason is very simple. The sound quality of this recording is quite crystal clear, the sound field is huge, and the momentum is magnificent. Especially the string strength, strength and weakness of the string group and the texture of the string are very charming. These features are fully demonstrated by the excellent balance of the PSB M4U 2, the exaggeration of any frequency band, and the fast and vivid response. Some headphones with softening tendency can't convey the enthusiasm of the whole orchestra when the firepower is fully open; the sound density is not as good as the PSB M4U 2, so the strength of the string group can not be fully displayed; as the response speed is not sharp enough It is even more difficult to portray the gorgeous and colorful complex layers of the performances like the PSB M4U 2 (Stokowski, commander of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra from 1912 to 1938, the first to set the violin to the left, the viola to the center, and the cello to the right. Arranged, affecting the follow-up symphony orchestra instrument configuration so far). It's hard to believe that the M4U 2 is the first PSB to be produced, and the headphones that are very flat compared to other brands can have such a calm and excellent performance when playing this recording. However, in the end, if the PSB speaker can compete with other higher-priced products, the M4U 2 headphones can have such a great performance, and there is nothing surprising.

If you want the earphones, you can still provide accurate and comfortable music enjoyment when you are away from home, instead of just making the sound of the ear sound, boring time, and hope to effectively block the outside noise in noisy environment, no need to If the volume is too large and the music details and rhythm can be clearly distinguished, the PSB M4U 2 is obviously a sensible choice. As far as the appearance is concerned, the M4U 2 can't be as cool as some people who are deliberately taking the trendy style, but its excellent sound quality, anti-noise performance and the feeling of listening to the advanced sound system are not the same as the latter. . I sincerely recommend PSB this M4U 2 earphone for those who love music.
