Sony A55HN player: a baptist of the soul, making your ears feel like they are pregnant with music

Listening to music is a baptism of the soul. In the ocean of music, there may be the lively sounds of nature, or the passionate rhythm noise, or the quiet and peaceful afternoon sound. Different styles correspond to different groups of people, and different environments also have different choices. In the busy urban life, music is the best soul mate.

To enjoy the natural sound of music, a high-quality music output device is essential. Today, the Sony A55HN player came to the review room. In music, the pursuit of pure and lossless sound quality is the goal of every listener, and a major selling point of the A55HN is lossless sound quality noise reduction, which can stimulate the sound to be more pure and allow music lovers to feel the rhythm of each note with their whole body and soul.

Appearance

The outer packaging box adopts a simple style, and the style of the Sony family can be identified at first glance. The overall shape does not have too many exaggerated elements, but instead has a sense of down-to-earth. After all, it is a product manufacturer, and the products still have to speak for themselves.

Open the box and you can see that the accessories are quite complete. From the accessories point of view, it is equipped with a Sony NW500N headset and three types of earmuffs to meet the needs of different people. In addition to the Sony A55HN body, there is also a data cable, an earphone clip and an instruction manual.

The overall body of Sony A55HN is relatively small, and can be controlled in one hand, making it very convenient to carry. When traveling or taking the subway to work, put Sony A55HN in your pocket, plug in headphones, and the entire subway will be a sea of ​​music. In terms of material, Sony A55HN uses an aluminum body, which can greatly improve the sound quality and make the bass clearer and stronger. And the sturdy body material can also better extend the service life of the product.

The Sony A55HN is equipped with a 3.1-inch color touch screen with a simple UI control interface. You can switch and select songs and set sounds by sliding in four directions.

The side of the body is equipped with buttons for volume adjustment, play/pause, song switching, and power on/off. The buttons are responsive, have low resistance, and feel comfortable to use.

The bottom of the device is equipped with a charging port, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a lanyard port. There is also an expansion card slot on the side of the device, which supports 128GB of memory expansion. For audiophiles who pursue sound quality, this capacity is enough to store enough lossless music, making the ocean of songs wider.

Music Test

As a device that outputs lossless music, it is absolutely necessary to sound good. Sony A55HN uses a processor that is comparable to the sound quality of vinyl records. Through the unique DSD technology, it shows the specific acoustic phenomenon of vinyl records. For nostalgic people, it can give them a more theater-like sense of presence when listening to music, giving their ears a more shocking auditory experience.

In order to better unleash the musical expression of A55HN, we did not use the included earphones, but used the more high-end and trendy Sony h.ear on 2 earphones. h.ear on 2 is equipped with DSEE HX technology, also known as digital sound enhancement engine, which can show high-frequency signals and tail sounds that are often lost in audio compression processing, providing natural sound effects with a sense of space.

h.ear on 2, also known for its high resolution, is a perfect match with A55HN. More importantly, the price of A55HN, which can continuously play 45 hours of MP3 or 39 hours of FLAC lossless, is only 1,899 yuan. Even with h.ear on 2, the budget for the whole set of equipment is only less than 4,000 yuan, and you can enjoy a private music and audio-visual room carefully built by Sony for you.

In order to test the sound quality of Sony A55HN, two pieces of music were specially selected.

1. Tsai Chin: The Forgotten Time

There are many kinds of songs to test the sound quality, such as various instruments, symphonies, tenors, sopranos, etc. The reason why we chose this song by Tsai Chin is that her song style is quite diverse, whether it is alto or bass, Tsai Chin can easily control it. This song "Forgotten Time" was released in 1979 and was once used as an episode of Infernal Affairs. The song has a slow and comfortable rhythm, giving people a sense of vastness.

For the Sony A55HN, which uses vinyl record technology, it is perfect for listening to this kind of music. Through DSD technology and lossless sound quality technology, the sound can be made more pure and transparent. With the h.ear on 2 headphones, the mid-range part is naturally round, the bass part is strong and powerful, the dive is more obvious, and the details are richer. It feels like the whole ear is pregnant.

2. Zhang Zhenyue: Goodbye

Zhang Zhenyue's song has a hint of sadness, but it can also be sung in a light and hoarse rock style, which can also give it a sense of uninhibited freedom. If you listen carefully, you will have an indescribable feeling that there are always too many uncertainties in life. Perhaps, as the song says, "I'm afraid I don't have the chance to say goodbye to you, because maybe I will never see you again." Things in the world are unpredictable, whether it is family, friendship or love, it is worth cherishing every minute of the present.

Sony A55HN still performs very well in light rock songs. This time, the equalizer of A50 is changed to the preset of Headphones Connect. In the default state, the low-frequency texture is very strong and the drum beats are relatively clear. The low-frequency resonance achieved through the pickup can effectively improve the initial sensitivity and make the singer's voice more layered. This configuration is very suitable for listening to rock and electronic music.

Summary

As a portable audio device, Sony A55HN is very convenient to carry and can be taken away in a pocket. The lossless noise reduction player used in music has a very obvious listening effect. Whether it is classical lyrical music or rock and roll electronic music, Sony A55HN can easily handle it and ensure the most original and pure sound quality of the song.
