GACKT Official X update. Translation below
I received Piaphones from Pierre Nakano.
As a sound enthusiast, I’m quite interested.
I’d like to write my honest impressions of each one without any bias.
I don’t know if this is what he wanted, and it may upset those who bought the product, but I’ll write what I felt as a professional.
By the way, these are all impressions after using them with the same song.
The middle one, the “Pidphone 3”
First, I listened to it in a wired state.
I had high expectations because it’s a headphone, but the output drops when listening with a wired connection.
I need to investigate the cause of this, but the output is simply weak.
After that, I switched to a Bluetooth connection and listened to it, and the output increased considerably, but the sound separation was weaker than I expected, and to be honest, it wasn’t as good as I expected.
I feel like “This is about right for something under 20,000 yen…”
For light users.
Next, the “Piaphone 7″ on the right
To be honest, I had low expectations because it’s Bluetooth, but
the sound separation was more pleasant than I expected, and the balance was quite high quality.
If Bluetooth can reproduce sound to this extent, it is a product that will satisfy users who don’t want anything but Bluetooth. Honestly, the quality is much better than I expected, and at a price of less than 50,000 yen, this is a good product.
For regular users.
Next is the “Wired Piaphone 3”
I was excited about the unique cable shape, but to be honest, it is for regular use, not professional use.
For regular users who want to listen to sound with a cable, the price of less than 40,000 yen is reasonable. The sound separation is not bad, but the balance is not to my liking. This is also for regular users.
Finally, the “Wired Piaphone 5”
I listened to the sound thinking that it might not be much different from the Piaphone 3, but I was surprised by this one.
The sound separation is a world apart from the Piaphone 3. I’m surprised at the quality at a price of less than 60,000 yen. I was amazed that there are earphones that can produce such a sense of separation for the first time in a while. For heavy users and professionals.
I asked the price after checking all the sound, but to be honest, I felt that the price of all the earphones was cheap for the sound quality, and I thought that the Piaphone 5 in particular was good enough to be used on stage. I’m going to try changing just the ear part to fit my ear shape and see if I can use them during rehearsals.
Wow, this Piaphone 5 is amazing.
I’m impressed.
ピエール中野からピヤホンが届いた。
音マニアのボクとしてはかなり興味深い。全くの忖度なしに正直な感想をそれぞれ書きたい。
彼が望んでいる感想かは分からないし、商品を買った人たちの気分を害するものになるかもしれないがプロとしてのボクが感じたことを率直に書こうと思う。… pic.twitter.com/t20Sq8OuZu— GACKT (@GACKT) March 13, 2025
