Dethonray Honey H1

I heard H1 by chance, I knew I would buy it just when I heard its sound. So I bought it myself four months ago. I plan to write some reviews on the headfi, But I think I should first tell my taste in sound. H1 will be the first review I post on headfi, a short review but full of my love for sound.

1. Unboxing


The packaging box is very simple, but the texture is good and unpretentious. I guess it must be such a box. Because Anson is such a person.


This is all the things in the box. Although there are not many things, they basically guarantee the daily use conditions. The workmanship of the accessories is very good, of course, the workmanship of H1 is even better.

Anyone who has used H1 before will be shocked by the feel of his sandblasted metal. Not only that, when you hold it in your hand, you will find it so light. Any portable DAP I have seen before is heavy and not portable enough. Considering the needs of portability, this weight is also very friendly.

2. Appearance & Function

There are two switches on the side, Po/Lo switch, high/low gain switch, without any learning costs.

At the bottom there are two type-C ports, the charging port and the data transmission port. And the black one in the middle is a power indicator.

On the top are 4.4 balanced female port, 3.5 single-ended port integrate line out /Optical, indicator light, a switch and knob. The key point here is that the feeling of the switch is very tight, which is very advanced。

3. Sound
First of all, the overall sound is very balanced and majestic, achieving first-class power and control in the portable DAP, and super first-class tuning.

Lows
The amount of lows is sufficient, no more and no less. If you don't like a lot of lows, it will definitely not make you think that there are too much lows. If you want more lows, you will feel the lows is moving and full. This is not easy to do. If the lows is a little bit more, even if there is only a little, the whole sound will not be pure enough, but if the lows is less, it will lose a lot of tuning and atmosphere. The power and taste of the lows are excellent, without too much dyeing, and not very straightforward expression.

Mids and vocals:
A good mids and vocals are the basic tuning requirement of most Chinese brands. I think Dethonray is no exception. The mids of H1 is great enough. The mids and vocals of many iems were shadowed , but will be much clear and pure on H1. The density is high, the thickness is very restrained, not too much but enough to convey emotions and guarantee the tuning. I bought H1 just because of this mids. I have been using it for four months and I like it more and more.

Treble:
The treble is slightly brighter but not harshing, and has a good sense of linear and air. The important thing is that the density of the treble and the mids are well connected and smooth.

The soundstage is very large and. It is not a very aggressive sound, nor a sound with a lot of dyeing. The taste of H1 elegant, different from dtr1, because DAP may be matched with other brands of products, so The sound is as neutral as possible. This is enough to make more people pay for it.
My kbear believe and kbear pure. A good set and a good cable. Performance well with H1.

4. Focal point
The point of this sound may be difficult to understand, because it achieves both powerful and control, as well as superb taste.

Let me give some examples to illustrate. All the players I have heard, there are only a handful of devices that can take all of aspects into account. L&P P6 Pro is one of them, P6p is very good in tuning but I feel that the density is not enough. Maybe it is just the voice that L&P wants to convey.

Many flagship devices only achieve the first two, such as the Hiby R8 and Fiio M15. The R8 and M15 are excellent in some way but the taste is not good. I take them as examples because I don't want to mention some devices that are not worth mentioning at all.

If you have used some products like I said, lack of power or no taste, just make a recall.

5. Conclusion

Dethonray is well praised because flagship sound quality. H1 is a great DAP but I am not good at review too much at some stuffs. I think what I should do is to convey my view to it. I will learn to make myself understood in the future while someone reading my reviews.

Finally, hope everyone can have their favorite equipment.
