"Potafes 2019 Winter" is being held at Bellesalle Akihabara in Akihabara, Tokyo for two days on December 14th and 15th. In this article, we will introduce Audio-Technica, Panasonic / Technics, Huawei, and Skullcandy. ■ Audio-Technica Audio-Technica has booths on the 1st and 2nd floors. On the 1st floor, the booth is set up in the most prominent position at the entrance, using the huge headphones that are familiar every time as a landmark. The exhibition centered on the completely wireless earphone "ATH-CK3TW".
The pattern of the Audio-Technica booth on the 1st floor. "ATH-CK3TW", which also has a special campaign, ATH-CK3TW has four colors. There was also a campaign where you could get original novelty goods by lottery by shooting your favorite color locally and posting it on Twitter with the hashtag "# Potafes". And on the 2nd floor, there was a booth structure where you can thoroughly enjoy Audio-Technica's masterpiece headphones and earphones. First of all, pay attention to "ATH-IEX1", an earphone equipped with a dynamic driver / BA driver / passive radiator. It will be the world's first hybrid configuration that adopts passive radiator. "ATH-IEX1" In addition, the dynamic driver and the passive radiator are fixed facing each other by the brass stabilizer, and it has a "dual phase push-pull driver" structure that drives synchronously so as to push and pull each other. It's an expensive model, but please check the sound. Headphones that use wood for the housing, which is a tradition of Audio-Technica, have also been introduced this year with a strong model. The "ATH-AWKT" with striped ebony, which is an evolution of the long-selling machine, and the "ATH-AWAS" with Asada Sakura, which "includes everything you can do now". You can check the sound of these two models carefully. Headphones that use wood for the housing are also slurping around new models ■ Panasonic / Technics Technics exhibited mainly the "EAH-TZ700", which is the first earphone of the same brand and has already gained a reputation as a famous machine. There is. Since it was released in November and it's only a short time ago, many visitors were lining up to check the sound. "EAH-TZ700" A major feature of the EAH-TZ700 is that it is a high-priced product with a diameter of around 120,000 yen, but it uses only one dynamic driver "Precision Motion Driver" with a diameter of 10 mm. The magnetic gap of the driver voice coil is filled with magnetic fluid, and the voice coil slides on the surface of the magnetic fluid to enable accurate stroke of the diaphragm. By using magnetic fluid, it is possible to use different materials for the diaphragm and the edge, and this machine uses the supple edge of PEEK material. In combination with a high-rigidity special aluminum diaphragm, wideband reproduction from the ultra-low range of 3Hz, which was difficult to reproduce with earphones, to the ultra-high range of 100kHz has been realized. New model "EAH-DJ1200" based on the standard DJ headphones "RP-DJ1200" ■ Huawei Huawei exhibited mainly the completely wireless earphone "FreeBuds 3" which is an open fit type but equipped with a noise canceling function. Huawei booth "Free Buds 3". There is also a white model, and it is the world's first to support the active noise canceling function in the open type. Noise is reduced by generating sound waves of opposite phase with respect to the ambient noise collected by the microphone of the earphone. It also optimizes in real time for changing external environments. Equipped with "Kirin A1 chip", it realizes noise suppression effect even though it is an open type earphone that external sound jumps in. The case adopts a simple design that is conscious of symmetry. The earphones also use a dolphin bionic design that "delivers sound in focus at the back of the ear." You can also try the neckband type earphone "Free Lace" ■ Skullcandy Skullcandy with a large booth on the 1st floor. One of the biggest features is "Crusher ANC". Skullcandy booth "Crusher ANC" Since it is a Crusher series, it is a feature that other headphones do not actually tremble. Furthermore, the sensory base can be adjusted, and the bass can be freely controlled. On top of that, it also has an active noise canceling function, which is a fairly sharp model. In addition, it is equipped with functions such as personal sound and a quick charge compatible battery that can be driven for up to 24 hours. In addition, we carefully examined the materials, including the inside of the ear pads and headband, and were particular about the fit and beauty. Two soundproof rooms are available at the Skullcandy booth this time. You can check the sound of the Crusher series in a better environment. In addition to the "Crusher 360," which also has a soundproof room, many current products are on display, including completely wireless. The most popular "Indy" had this month's new color, gold.
