Compared to the basic headphone jack on a laptop, the Beam 2 brings significant improvements in terms of audio imaging, sound density, and detail performance. For example, when listening to the album "Rational and Emotional Works Concert" by Li Zongsheng, through the Beam 2, the vocals become more three-dimensional, the contours clearer, and the soundstage more immersive, making the sound from the laptop headphone jack seem flat in comparison. The Beam 2 also offers higher sound density, allowing for more distinct variations in volume, more pronounced rises and falls, and a stronger impact. Additionally, with the improved sound density, the impact of drum beats becomes more condensed and impactful. In contrast, the sound from a laptop headphone jack may sound thinner and less solid. Through the Beam 2, you can also hear more details, such as the reverberation and resonance of the space, the oscillation of sound decay, the texture of lip and throat sounds, and the texture of timbre, all of which enrich the music and make it more lifelike.

In summary, what the Beam 2 provides is a higher level of quality, and this is where it is worth spending money. With its cleaner sound foundation, more information, more precise details, and better driving power, it brings a more immersive listening experience. Once you get used to it, you will realize that the headphone jacks that come with headphones or laptops are quite ordinary!
