It has been a long time since Lao Yang, the founder of NF AUDIO Ning Vatican (hereinafter referred to as Ning Vatican), knew. Our communication methods are all kinds of bragging force in various exhibitions and after the exhibition. Although the exchange time is not long, it is enough to feel his seriousness and pursuit of music and equipment.
Remember that when he first met him, he was also a development engineer for a music audio product in a hearing aid brand. A friend who has followed him naturally understands the products he developed at the time. Pro2 I haven't heard of it. The R40 is glad that the light of a certain brother had listened to the male model for a while. The sound of R40 in the memory is roughly normal, but there are some cases in which the middle and high frequencies are cut off and the overall sound is disconnected. Lao Yang said that because of the difference between the public and private films, the speech revealed some helplessness, what happened later and the inside story. Everyone may also understand the reasons for this helplessness. In a nutshell, the R40 was actually more of a semi-finished product.
Later things should all be known. After Laoyang founded Ning Fan, because it really couldn't hold back its desire for customization, coupled with this layered relationship with the old sheep, the NF4 was customized by chance. Starting with this custom, in addition to a round of self-made (xu) wish (rong), in fact, more is to understand, when the R40 became NF4, how exactly the performance.
It was issued after the film was taken, and then it was unboxed and used. It took two months to wait. This is not only his own eagerness, but also not how to urge, there are also many Ning Van aspects of the order but still the principle of the pursuit of perfection. Truthfully, when I started to unpack and eventually put my earplugs on, every move in the process was a sensation of Ning’s carefulness.
First of all, we still need to use pictures to explain to you what this NF4 contains. In fact, this is also the standard for Ningfan. Whether it is for professional singer musicians, or ordinary music lovers, equal and practical configuration facilitates practical application, and it is better to maintain a good custom on the hands.
Until wearing, the whole process brought a surprise. Before doing customization, I have seen a lot of online evaluations and talked to my friends who have customized. What will all be mentioned here is that the strength of the custom shell material makes the custom earbuds somewhat squeaky, especially after long periods of wear. In addition, the ability to grasp the depth of the eardrum formation will also lead to the need for Refit. Therefore, a customization is easy to determine from the use of the experience is good or bad, but also believe that it is possible to see whether it can achieve the realm of fit.
In the process of photographing and actually wearing, it can be felt that the cavity is not only smooth and full, but also fits snugly in the ear canal. I don’t have a problem with rough guys like me who are easy to use for more than an hour. Having such a good sense of wearing, excellent workmanship is essential, and the attitude of the master is more important. If consumers are aware that Ning Vatican has such a responsible attitude and exquisite workmanship, surely even if it takes longer to wait, it will be happy to understand.
There is a small suggestion here. This time the choice is the panel material and color matching provided by the official, so it is translucent shell + brand metal tag, you can see through the shell inside the unit and the wiring. Some friends may like this mechanical feeling, but personally feel that the wire inside is a bit messy and not beautiful. If you can see the approximate effect at the time of customization, you may be able to avoid the possibility of some obsessive-compulsive friends so refit.
The two parts that determine the earplug experience leave a good impression on wearing this ring NF4, feeling deeper into the earhole than unexpected comfort. In this part of the sense of listening, I would like to give everyone a first-rate statement, "Lively Scene." How fresh is this scene? First explain the equipment and album used for this review.

(The perception of audio product experience is subjective, and the custom earbud sound experience is unique. This subjective listening represents only a personal stance. Conditional friends can physically compare and compare.)
In my opinion, NF4, which is defined as "live site", exactly fits the product positioning of "NF for Near Field". Near Field means near-field monitoring. It requires clean and accurate sound and strong directivity. These qualities are also reflected in NF4.
Listening to NF4 will not be a big surprise at first, but it is a justifiable objective restoration. Especially when listening to the rock concert albums listed above, it is easy to feel the elements of the playback record. The sound of fullness that is not far from one's own is indeed more intense. This kind of immersive approach to attracting listeners by creating a sense of atmosphere and music as a whole is indeed a smarter way of attracting listeners.
However, in order to meet the near-field monitoring orientation, the performance of the NF4 sound field is more regular and detailed, but its breadth is lacking, which is probably the atmosphere of the small stadium (similar to the Hong Kong Elizabeth Stadium). Therefore, in the interpretation of classical works, the small establishment is still within the scope of acceptance. In contrast, the sound field of the Fei Duo A83 appears to be the most relaxed in this comparison, and the high-quality, high-definition qualities are released.
Although the size of the sound field is not very large, similar to the black and yellow, but in the four moving iron earplugs, the NF4's detailed performance is indeed remarkable. Before the NF4 there were two "classic" four-element earphone models, the iron triangle IM04 and the Sony XBA-40. And the voice of IM04 is always twisted (it is said that there will be earth-shaking changes in the change of line and big thrust), or compared to the tri-band distribution of XBA-40 so that the NF4 is still in control of the frequency band and sound field. Great energy to achieve a good performance on mobile phones or brick players.
Unlike the style of black and yellow cricket that makes vocal sensations more sweet and stimulating by appropriately obscuring mid-range frequencies, and Fei Dou has a strong impact with high-quality, high resolution and wide space, NF4 presents music from the sound as a whole while ensuring quality. fun of. The old sheep particularly liked the HD600 and used it as a common monitor for headphones. It was inherited in NF4. The energy distribution of NF4 is slightly tilted towards mid-low frequencies, and the low-frequency elasticity and thickness are excellent in moving iron earplugs. If the dive can be deeper, then the low-frequency performance will be more enjoyable.
Unlike Black and Yellow's smooth midrange and the A83's straightforward, high-quality midrange, the NF4's midrange is based on low-frequency performance and is warm and comfortable in Kinetic. This is indeed worthy of recognition. The catch is that NF4's vocals are a bit soft due to various influences. This is a bit of an explosion in the rock scene. Overall, the performance of NF4 is more suitable for listening to popular voices, especially for singers who are good at emotional placement.
Compared with the R40 high-frequency disjoint situation in the year, this time the NF4's high frequency can finally dock with the IF to form a complete music. Similar to HD600, the high frequency performance of NF4 is not too eye-catching, but it does not mean that it has no performance. Moderate brightness, extended relaxed and comfortable high frequency, and the overall style of natural harmony. On the NF4, the orchestra you hear will not be eye-catching, and it will be more comfortable to listen to the flow.
In this "living scene", you can hear a sound that is resistant to hearing. It is possible that each frequency band will not be very impressive. After listening to livehouse for a while, it will feel insufficient. However, in a slightly softer overall style, with a strong tune of music, it is enough to listen to it for a long time. . Like friends who want to be popular and want to customize, NF4 is a moderately priced choice. If you have a more demanding friend, you can focus on the new six-unit custom earplug NF6 that NingVenti will launch in September.
At the end of writing, I remembered a small thing. A long time ago, I had a lot of drinking and the old sheep were forced to blow. At that time, I spoke arrogantly to test the old sheep. Can I be a unit to restore the liveness and atmosphere of the livehouse? The old sheep was also very patient with the night and was mad with me. When it came time to return to the company, he gave me one. Later, I felt I was too silly to wake up last night, and then I went away with the wind that night.
I don’t know if I wouldn’t want to do a few custom units to see if I could meet my wonderful idea of ​​listening to livehouse. I only know the live scene of NF4's interpretation, it’s the old sheep’s frivolity I made an answer to the unreasonable request. If domestic audio manufacturers can sink like Ninh Vanmin and do something to strengthen commercial operations and cross-border integration, I guess that wearing high-quality headphones and enjoying the excellent sound quality they will bring will be even more time-consuming. Common things.
