Music playback test
4.4mm bright, detailed and dynamic, 3.5mm thick, warm, smooth and full of flavor
In this test, we used FAudio’s Project Y in-ear headphones for trial listening. First, we broadcast several popular vocals by Jacky Cheung "Li Xianglan", Huang Shuman "Light Causes Pain", and He Yunni "Across the Sea to See You". The 4.4mm balanced output sound is quite bright, controllable, and full of rhythm. The vocals are three-dimensional, with clear lines and high enough analytical power. Appropriate reverberation and fine-tuning make the music still enjoyable; while the 3.5mm output will be warmer and thicker The sound, the tone is quite lingering and smooth, the details and dynamics are slightly less than 4.4mm, but listening to vocals, sketches, and lyric songs is good.
Lotoo's PAW Gold Touch (PAW Gold Touch) is a very popular and well-reviewed DAP. This time, the newly-launched upgraded version of PAW Gold Touch (Titanium) uses TA15 titanium. Made of alloy, it is more noble, and the world is limited to 999.
Then try John Williams in Vienna 〈Main Title〉 and 〈Mozart Violin Concertos in D major KV 218, I. Allegro (QMA remix 2016)〉. The 4.4mm high frequency extension is sufficient, and the violin's penetrating power is very strong. It is not harsh, the lines and image of the instrument are more prominent, the low frequency and Project Y are both dynamic and flexible, full of momentum, and the sound field is wider. Switching to 3.5mm to listen to this kind of large system, I thought the sound quality would not be as good as 4.4mm, but in fact the thicker and warmer sound is quite analog. Although the analytical power of 4.4mm will be a little more prominent, the thickness and texture of the instrument presented by 3.5mm are also quite moving, and it is very enjoyable to listen to. It is worth mentioning that the backgrounds of both are quite quiet, and the sound is clean and comfortable.

If it is classified simply and roughly, Tiju’s 4.4mm is suitable for listening to classical music and 3.5mm is suitable for listening to fashion. But in fact, the tuning of Titanium Chrysanthemum is very subtle, 3.5mm is comfortable and durable to hear without losing dynamics and stimulation, 4.4mm has clear music lines, high analytical power, stronger dynamics, but maintains a proper charm. When listening to the original soundtrack of "The Dream of the Stars", I couldn't help but listen to it once with 3.5mm and another with 4.4mm. The human voice and the instrument are half and half each, and it is a bit difficult to distinguish between each other. Compared with the previous Moju, the specifications of the two are similar, but the tuning is different. The 4.4mm sound of Tiju is a little more exciting, the high and low frequency extensions are exhausted, and the control is better; and 3.5 The thick and warm charm of mm is more obvious, more pleasant to the ears, and thick but soft, sweet and rich in layers. The kind of subtle or even mysterious tuning, if the headphones are properly matched, will make people listen to it a little moved.
to sum up
The excitement of 4.4mm vs the touch of 3.5mm
Testing the PAW Gold Touch (Titanium) is an enjoyable process, most of the time it fluctuates between 4.4mm and 3.5mm. When listening to 4.4mm, I feel that the details and dynamics are full and the layers are rich, and the performance is better than 3.5mm. When listening to 3.5mm, I feel warm and durable, and the moving charm is more beautiful than 4.4mm. The result is that after listening to 4.4mm, then listening to 3.5mm, after listening to 3.5mm, then listening to 4.4mm. Of course, the price of close to 30,000 yuan and the limited edition of 50 units are both difficult to get started. However, the sound of Tiju may not be other DAP, and even Moju can provide it. Especially when many high-end DAPs in recent years have tended to focus on balancing the output, there is even a saying "Buy 4.4mm/2.5mm and get 3.5mm". The 3.5mm output of Titanium Chrysanthemum is even more commendable. It is the most beautiful and heard by Achi. The most touching 3.5mm.
