Acoustic Requirement


After the COVID-19 pandemic break out, the more time I have taken to stay home. Thus, the more hobbies and activities at home would be built to satisfy this fundamental requirement. Except for the music composition, the movie watching, video game playing, and music listening required the appropriate earphone or speaker employed. Previously, I had merely one speaker and one earphone. Due to the cost and performance balance, I commonly focused more on earphone and cared about the quality more than speaker. I had chosen the recommended earphone made by Koss with the acceptable price. Fortunately, this Koss earphone was able to cover the entire requirement from my daily life, including the music, oral and video application. Afterward, I moved out the dormitory and posses the own space in the suite. I purchased the speaker with the bass strengthen both for music and video. It can perform the better sense of space in music, but the tone in higher frequency would be blurred for particular occasion. Furthermore, it also doesn’t match to the drum which emphasizing both low and high frequency.

Then, we had moved to the bigger house with five floors. The second floor generally applied for the video watching and the fifth floor is the music studio. Both floors require the speaker and earphone. In order to solve this problem, the Koss earphone would be put on the second floor where usage rate is much higher, and the other earphone: SHP2000 would be put on the fifth floor for seldom usage of music practice. However, the Koss had been broken when it was out of the lifespan. Then, I had purchased the HPH-200 replaced the previous Koss earphone. After a period of trial, I decided to exchange the rule between my own two earphones, because I thought the SHP2000 possess the comfortable wear experience and bass strength which is more suitable for the video watching and long time usage. And the HPH-200 possesses the better performance in wider frequency which is great for the musical instrument. Thus, the HPH-200 with the better acoustic performance but worse wearing feeling would replace SHP2000 and employed for the electrical drum and piano playing. Indeed, it performs the considerately quality for the entire frequency. The SHP2000 is also perform very good at the video watching and game playing especially the bass strength, although it would not good enough for the wider drum tone.
