amazon Skullcandy XTplyo reviews
Design
XTplyo is one of Skullcandy’s most innovative headphones. The housing of the headset is quite small, but there is a very long rubber hook out. When worn on the ear, this part will be pushed into the outer ear of the listener, from which the headset will be kept very strong even when the user is active. The housing and tips of the headphones are printed in extremely colorful colors, very prominent and strong. XTplyo is designed like the Dunu Titanium crossover design for a comfortable fit.
In fact, when worn in the ear, XTplyo almost disappears, users will forget that is wearing this headset on the ear. One minor drawback of this design is the sound insulation. The sound insulation of XTplyo is not as perfect as traditional Inear ears, only about 9/10 only. The wires of this headset have a variety of colors that change, but are designed to be durable and above all resistant to sweat. Both headphones and strings are covered with a unique Skullcandy odor-resistant coating, which will not be a concern for XTowners in extreme conditions. The headset is equipped with a mic control with a button (Control Talk button), which can be used with iPhone, Blackberry or Android devices and does not conflict!
Sound
Skullcandy is famous for producing V-shape earphones, with a strong bass sound to serve young people with Electro, Dance, ….
Bass
When it comes to Skullcandy, we talk about a lot of bass. As a headset for strong performance, XTplyo demonstrates this. XTplyo has pretty much equal volume, almost equal to the traditional product of 50/50. When trying on Lean On, the drum part emerged very clearly, much more than the headphones in the price range. This bass is something people like, but the way Skullcandy played bass in the past is something that is hard to adapt to. Earlier Skullcandy’s headphones were sloping to the side, again encroaching on the mid and treble, so it sounded very tired. At XTplyo, thanks to the design slightly open so the bass is not echoed back in the ears of the listeners, out part of the should feel more comfortable. The bass is mid-bass, but fortunately the bloaty feels more solid. The drum sounds are played, but are controlled in a certain area.
But Skullcandy has found a good time to break the bass, not too early to make sense of the short but not too long to create feelings of violence, fatigue. As a light-hearted musician, but when listening to Alan Walker’s faded song, I still find the bass player to be playful enough, not to tire as the earphones make this part pull more tails. The bass playing of XTplyo is somewhat similar to the MEE RX18, but much volume is controlled so it does not give the feeling of fatigue. The sub bass is quite deep, but most still focus on mid bass so this part is a bit lighter. Sub bass tones deep down are still quite noticeable XTplyo, no sense of loss at all.
Mid
The high bass of the headset is slightly encroached on the mid section so this part feels warm, slightly dark. On the whole, this is also a dark mid-section, leaning towards the bass and roll off at the high mid. With Amanda Seyfried’s Mean Ol Moon, the voice of this actress is soft, warm and up-to-earth. The mid section of the headphones is lightened, to some extent there is a roll off phenomenon. So when listening to the female singers, the high soprano voice will be subdued a bit. This would mean that the vocalist would never suffer from sibalance, including songs that were easily affected by this phenomenon, such as Yao Si Ting, Celine Dion. Because of this mid-song expression, female vocalists will not be able to reach the highest notes, which are mildly and warmly compared to reality. On the contrary, the songs tend to be pretty good. Like Pentatonix’s silent night, the singers’ voices are played lightly, firmly and in harmony with each other, combined with the strong bass of the headphones, so this song is played very well.
Just like Maroon’s pop songs, Adam Levine’s voice was not so high that it needed a lot of high mid so it was not affected by the roll off. Sugar song of this group is playing the correct dance music with the bass, mainly playing with warm mid and slightly back to the music. With light music, vocal, XTplyo will fit the bass as well as the middle. For example, Michael Bublé’s “You Will Never Find Another Love Like Mine”, the singer’s voice is very smooth, not straight forward to the listener, but slightly backward, easy to hear and comfortable. This is a mid tone that does not have much emphasis on headphones, but is balanced and light enough to play from powerful pop, dance, house to some vocal tracks, as long as there is no female vocalist because the high mid roll off.
Treble
As a bass player, XTplyo is not very strong on the treble, which is also intended to create a bass and midtone background. With Alan Walker’s faded tunes, hymns, cymbals pop up on the back of the song in moderation, less than the lightweight but not at all. Treble up to a paragraph is the phenomenon of roll off, should make a treble soft, sweet, dark and less sharp. Also, this section should never create sibalance. The soothing treble also attracts the attention of the listener to the powerful bass, as well as make the headphone sound a little small to emphasize the overall darkness. For those who are treble-head, XTplyo will not be the first choice!
