Chapter 96 Earbuds
You must have the flashman’s matching headphones. If you only sell the bare metal, you don’t have to think about it. First of all, consumers’ perception of it will drop a lot.
People in the current era are generally more simple and practical. Even our friends and businessmen are like this, and they make their products strong and durable.
If Shirakawa Electric dares to sell bare metal directly, it might be labeled as unreliable, a profiteer, etc.
Even if Apple doesn’t ship headphones in future generations, it will be after several generations of product updates.
Shirakawa Electric is a new face who is just starting out and does not have a large fan base. Dare to do this is no different from hanging himself by an old birthday star.
So how to solve the problem of headphones nowadays? There are two methods.
1. Directly purchase finished headphones from other brands as accessories for flashman.
Two, do it yourself.
"Yasuda-san, how difficult is the technical difficulty of the headphones?" Shirakawa Kaede rubbed his chin, and his brain began to work rapidly.
"It's very low, at least much lower than Flashman." After saying this, Yasuda Masaaki glanced at Yamazaki Hui.
After saying that, Shirakawa Kaede handed the drawings in front of Yasuda and others, and everyone rushed up after receiving Shirakawa Kaede's drawings.
"That's really... great." An excited Bai Chuanfeng stood up directly and began to walk around the room excitedly.
Yasuda's meaning is very obvious. First of all, eliminate electrostatic headphones. Its current positioning is not for ordinary consumers.
"So... all headphones nowadays are on-ear?"
Hasegawa and Yasuda focus on the cost and technology of headphones.
They were very curious about what kind of earphones Shirakawa Kaede valued so much.
"Earbuds?"
His thoughts are actually a reflection of the current social environment, especially those in middle age and above who are conservative and stubborn.
Seeing the uniquely shaped headphones in the picture, which were only as big as a little finger, everyone subconsciously exclaimed.
"President Shirakawa, please take a look, these are several common ear designs." Hasegawa placed the three earphones one by one in front of Shirakawa Kaede.
Everyone is no longer as nervous as at first. On the contrary, everyone is full of confidence. After all, the headphones do sound much simpler.
After training in the Walkman project, I am now faced with areas I have never touched before.
As he spoke, Yasuda picked up another much smaller headset, "The moving iron headset has a relatively simple structure and uses a magnetic field to produce sound.
"ah?!"
"Here, let's see if it is difficult to produce such a headphone shape."
Shirakawa Electric is not without talents in the acoustics department. Yasuda, who is proficient in mechanical design, is quite accomplished in acoustics.
And Hasegawa, who was well aware of Shirakawa Kaede's resolute and resolute habits, got up without saying anything and went outside to get some common headphones on the market.
As the person in charge of the marketing department, he collects peripheral products related to them.
"Hai!" At the command, Assistant Komatsu stood at attention and strode to find paper and pen.
Hasegawa, who had seen a lot, was stunned. He had indeed only seen headphones.
But what’s with President Shirakawa’s expectant eyes?
Knowingly, Yamazaki Hui nodded immediately, "The circuit part is very simple, but it is the design of the acoustic part that affects the sound quality of the headphones more."
"But..." Yasuda put down the heavy electrostatic earphones, "But they are very expensive. The cheapest electrostatic earphones from STAX currently cost at least 150,000 yen."
"We Shirakawa Electric are going to make our own headphones, and they are unique earphones!" Shirakawa Kaede stopped and looked at Yasuda and the others who were determined.
Bai Chuanfeng sighed softly in his heart, "Everyone!" He looked at everyone seriously, "Let go of your imagination and keep making progress!"
It has the lowest technical difficulty and is also the most widely used headphone principle.”
Yamaguchi Kazuo’s thinking is a typical conservative. This is true for the Walkman project and is still true for current headphones.
Even the old masters at Shirakawa Electric who debug vinyl record players have a "little understanding" of this.
After all, he has been dealing with vinyl record players for so long, and he has already understood all the factors that affect the sound quality.
"Hai!" Everyone agreed in unison.
And Yasuda directly transformed into a technical commentator, "The design of headphones can be roughly divided into three categories in principle: moving coil type, moving iron type, and electrostatic type."
“Dynamic earphones are the most common on the market, and both the structure and the sound-generating unit are very simple.
150,000 yen is almost the total price of five walkmans.
"As for the last electrostatic headphones," Yasuda picked up the last one, which was obviously much thicker. "The technology requirements are the highest, but the sound quality is also the most impeccable."
But after listening to it for a long time, Shirakawa Kaede asked strangely, "Are they all headphones, not earbuds?"
Now that Flashman has no headphones, and with Shirakawa Kaede’s explicit instructions, everyone’s minds have become more active.
"That's right!" Bai Chuanfeng waved his hand, "Xiao Song, get a pen and paper!"
"President Shirakawa, will the public really accept such... special headphones?" Finally, Yamaguchi Kazuo couldn't hold back and expressed his worries.
The advantage is that the structure is compact, but the disadvantage is that the cost is higher than that of the moving coil type."
It's a pity that the capital is not as strong as Xiaolin's classmate. It's just mediocre~
But the speed is still very fast. In less than two minutes, the pen and ink are already waiting for you.
Bai Chuanfeng's body trembled, and he suddenly raised his head, his eyes bright.
"President Shirakawa, if you go by what I know, there are currently only headphones on the market."
Without a pioneering and enterprising spirit, an enterprise will not achieve its own breakthroughs.
"And electrostatic headphones are generally only used by professionals, such as recording studios and musicians..."
Neon's STAX company is the first manufacturer to release commercial electrostatic headphones. The quality of its electrostatic headphones is recognized as world-class.
Can headphones last like this?
Hasegawa's eyes were excited, Yasuda and Yamazaki Hui were thoughtful, and Yamaguchi Kazuo stopped talking.
In his previous life, he also learned how to draw and draw simple diagrams without any problems.
While Yasuda was talking, he picked up a common pair of headphones, which turned out to be the matching headphones for the Sony Walkman.
We can make Shirakawa's own headphones, even products like Flashman, and headphones are no problem for you."
Bai Chuanfeng glanced at everyone, "In that case, let's do it ourselves.
"Hai!"
"Eh?" Yasuda, Hasegawa and the others looked at each other, and finally looked at Shirakawa Kaede in unison, "President Shirakawa, what are earbuds?"
After Hasegawa finished speaking, he glanced at Yasuda and the others, who also nodded and agreed with Hasegawa's statement.
"Eh?" Now not only Yasuda and the others, but even Assistant Komatsu suspected that their president had been stimulated in some way.
The reason why I didn’t buy headphones was because I couldn’t use the vinyl record player at all.
The business purpose of Shirakawa Electric is Shirakawa Kaede’s best answer.
Bai Chuanfeng picked up the pen and began to write and draw on it.
However, he is the head of the manufacturing department and does not need to participate in planning and R&D.
He just needs to be the head of the manufacturing department and manage production well.
As for the earbuds, Shirakawa Kaede looked at the drawings in front of her, and they were really wonderful.
