UNBOXING
All components of FAudio Dark Sky. Leather case and earphone mesh bag, 7 pairs of silicone eartips and a pair of memory foam tips, leather holder and cleaning tool, 2.5 to 3.5 conversion gender and 2.5 to 4.4 conversion gender, and a silicone cover for protecting the earphone unit are provided. are doing
The eartips have a slightly different feel from the eartips provided by FAudio. Previously, opaque white and opaque black eartips were provided, but Dark Sky provides translucent color eartips by default.
The silicone case for protecting the earphone unit is a component that is difficult to find in other earphones, but it seems to be a component that reflects the shortcomings of the existing f-audio products, which were vulnerable to scratches and dents. I too was very sad to see that the unit had scratches even after I used it with great care for over half a year. Since Dark Sky-Major-Minor-Chorus shares the shell design in a big frame, other F-Audio earphone owners often ask if they can only obtain this silicone cover, but it is definitely enough to be coveted by other F-Audio earphone owners. I thought it could be very useful
It also had the advantage that the unit became a little more plump and the frictional force of the sticky silicone touched the ear, and the holding force was relatively increased. However, the only disappointment is that the silicone material is very sticky, so I felt that it would easily get on dust and foreign substances.
As I said before, the basic cable has a 2.5mm terminal applied. The cable's wire is a 4-core cable with a moderately thick feel, and it is a navy-colored cable that matches the color of the unit. The specification of the wire rod is also considerable, and it is said that silver alloy, German pure silver, and quenched gold and silver alloy material were used.
Design
The design of FAudio Dark Sky follows the family look of F-Audio's universal lineup of major-minor-chorus-fashion, as mentioned earlier. Following the major-gold, minor-rose gold, chorus-silver, and fashion-black, the navy color was adopted as the name of Dark Sky.
The difference in design from the previous FAudio universal lineup products is that the dynamic cutting design applied to the edge of the rear plate is not applied. In fact, if you look closely, it is an angle cut at an exquisite angle, the gloss that is mixed with the housing color, and the feel was quite good. Unfortunately, it is not possible to find a diamond cut design in Dark Sky this time because it does not go well with the navy color of Dark Sky. I thought that the diamond cutting design was also FAudio's unique DNA, so the absence of this part was quite disappointing.
Ducts for relieving ear pressure and sound holes for added openness are drilled on the side of the nozzle and 2-pin connector, respectively.
As with other FAudio products, the 2-pin detachment method is applied, so matching with various custom cables is also possible.
In terms of fit, it is not much different from the existing FAudio earphones. It is not a feeling of tight fit with the housing being tight in the ear or the ear tip filling the ear well, but rather a feeling of wearing the ear tip slightly over the ear hole. For me, who mostly uses half-custom shell earphones that fit tightly in my ears, the feeling of being hung in my ears like this feels a bit foreign to me. However, even if you shake your head or move your body, the earphones do not fall out of your ears and are well fixed, so it can be said that the fit itself is good. The sound insulation is also quite good.
I don't know if it's because of my mood, but it's because the curve of the front part is relatively gentle compared to the minor and major. As it is not a type of wearing that fills the inside of the ear tightly, I did not feel the ear pressure again.
Sound
It's a dark sky where the mid and high notes are quite clear and close, but the sound line is thick enough and has the natural texture of a dynamic driver. .
The mid- and high-pitched tones have a moderately deep color, so the sound does not disappear as if it is flying out of the ear, and it feels like each sound penetrates the ear clearly and deeply. Thanks to this, the vocals and high-pitched instrument sounds were delivered clearly and clearly into my ears.
The treble was a feeling of adding a point of chubbing to the back of the vocals by emphasizing the softness that would add freshness and coolness, rather than scattering the sharp and cold particles of the ultra-treble range and enveloping the background splendidly.
The texture of the high-pitched tone is well preserved because the grain of the high-pitched tone is tight, but the splendor and refreshing feeling are added well, but the sibilance was not felt because the sound spreads out without stimulation rather than hitting the ear. , Since the volume of the treble, which strongly adds a refreshing feeling, was never small, I felt that the treble could be considered somewhat high depending on the sound source and individual differences.
Since the vocals are played half a step ahead of the original position, the vocals are heard moderately close. The vocals have a slightly dry and sharp texture, so the sound is not smooth and flat, but thanks to the subtle sharpness, the vocals sound cooler and more lively. As I said before, the sound lines are not thin and are kept moderately thick, so the sound does not sound like it is scattered without power, and it feels like the sound lines are firmly held in the ear and fill the inside of my ears.
It can be seen that the bass is really well tuned. It emphasizes the sound of the ultra-low range rather than the mid-bass, but it is not too low, but the sound of the ultra-low range that allows you to feel a hard and clear hitting feeling. Because it is emphasized enough to add only a little bit of heavy vibration, you can feel the feeling of a lively hitting that is firm but not squishy, and the sound of hitting and falling remains.
First of all, in the case of the major, since the vocals are backed to some extent, the vocals do not have a presence, but rather have the power of expressing the dreamy and sound field unique to the V-shaped earphones. On the other hand, in Dark Sky, the vocals are heard to some extent ahead of them, so the vocals are more intuitive and clear to the ears compared to the majors.
Naturally, the presence of vocals is much better in Dark Sky, so I felt that those who mainly listen to vocal songs, especially female vocal songs, would like the midrange of Dark Sky more than major. Instead, I felt that I would like the mid-range of the majors more, such as those who like the V-shaped tone and prefer deep and soft male songs, or songs with mainly low-range instruments.
Epilog
Dark Sky is a product that has solidified the image of FAudio that you can trust and listen to. Putting in the weapon of personality for a while and authentic sound quality, this is the class of FAudio! This is the king of the end of 1DD! It can be said that this Dark Sky has captured the trio of fun, sound quality, and balance very well. I listened to it with admiration while listening, and I was very satisfied with it so much that I decided to use it as a 1DD main earphone even later. For those who like 1DD earphones, those who like FAudio's earphones, and those who like fun-sounding but well-balanced earphones, today's earphones were FAudio's Dark Sky.
