Six common misconceptions of headphone buyer (PART 2)

(2) The larger the unit size, the better the sound quality?

Similarly, "the larger the unit size, the better the sound quality" is also a wrong view.

For example, some portable headphones use flat diaphragm units with a larger size than dynamic earplugs at the same price, but the overall sound quality is not as good as earplugs. This is because it is relatively difficult to drive large-sized units. Although you use large-sized units, the drive is insufficient, the diaphragm material is not good enough, and the tuning level is poor. Therefore, the overall sound quality performance is generally a common fact. At this time, it is more direct to measure the sound quality by the cost of earphones - at the same price, the sound quality of portable headphones may not be as good as that of dynamic earplugs.
