Shocking sound field rhines Stage 5 custom headphones demo

Earlier we have introduced the VE series of high-end custom headphones from Vision Ears in Germany, and there is also a well-known custom earphone manufacturer from Germany called rhines, which has a relationship with Vision Ears (actually a company before) Even a few of the two products are exactly the same, and to the latest generation, rhines also launched the five-unit flagship Stage 5 and VE6 series to compete.

From the parameter point of view, Stage 5 is not eye-catching compared to other flagship custom headphones. The five-unit three-way configuration is not superior to other multi-unit four-way or even five-way products, and the price is quite high. High. From the parameters, Stage 5 is a very easy to push headphones, the frequency response range is also very wide.

The work of the Stage series is very close to the VE series, with excellent craftsmanship and beautiful Artwork.

We got this panel with wood grain + gold brand logo, which looks quite personal.

The cavity part is made of black and transparent color.

The inside of the headset will be printed with the headset brand and the name of the customizer.

Like the VE series, the Stage 5 also has a two-in-one catheter design, while the general custom earphones here see multiple catheters.

From this angle, we can see the huge moving iron unit in the middle of the cavity.

Two composite units of the other side of the catheter.

The matching headphone cable is also the same 1.38m gold-plated plug copper wire as the VE series.

Also high-end custom headphones from Germany: VE6 X1 (left) and Stage 5 (right).

Since this pair of custom headphones is not the author's private mode, here is a simple way to share the sense of hearing: Stage 5's sound direction is somewhat close to the four-unit VE4 (Stage 4), and there are few loud sound fields in the earplugs. Listening to Stage 5 will really feel the existence of an elliptical sound field. Low frequency is a major feature of Stage 5, its low frequency is more, the texture is better than the average headphones, but at low frequencies A slightly muddy feeling. Stage 5's IF image is not a small improvement compared to VE4. Relatively speaking, the tri-band is more balanced, but it still makes people feel that the IF is not close enough. In addition, the Stage 5 tri-band Very smooth, but the degree of transparency is still slightly worse than VE6. Stage 5 sounds dark, and has a very attractive sound looseness and hearing tolerance.
