Hifiman HM-801 vs. iPod, Zune: A sound winner?
Sure, iPods and Zunes can sound perfectly fine, but no one ever claimed they
were bona fide portable high-end audio devices. Their "good enough" sound
isn't entirely their fault: they're too small to house a battery potent

中国船只和澳大利亚的船只分别在相隔600公里的地方听到声音，可能声音强度不一样

中国船只听到短暂的信号两次，澳大利亚船只一次听到俩小时，然后消失，然后换位置
