Lazy Cancer Terminator, Xiaomi Internet Speaker brings you massive resources to listen to with one click

The appearance design is simple, exquisite and elegant

The Xiaomi Internet speaker uses a white box made of plastic seal material, which is simple and beautiful. The speaker itself is a white cuboid with over-rounded corners and beautiful lines. It is made of plastic material, which is clean and generous, and feels full of weight in the hand. The metal control board is located in the center of the top, and the front and rear panels of the shutter type are characterized by classic traditional grid lines. It incorporates a modern and concise design language, which is beautiful and ensures the performance of the sound.　 　 　

The back of the Xiaomi Internet speaker provides power supply, USB, and 3.5mm AUX interfaces. It can be connected to TVs, computers and other devices through a 3.5mm audio cable, or an external U disk.Storage devices such as hard disks.

　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　　

The bottom four rubber floor mats ensure the stability of the body, and the nameplate is also attached with the download QR code of the mobile phone audio APP, which is convenient for users to download. The body size of the speaker is 282mm × 95mm × 90mm and the weight is about 1.6Kg. It can be placed in various positions of the TV cabinet, bedside, bookshelf and other households, and can adapt to a variety of usage scenarios.　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　

In terms of accessories, the Xiaomi Internet speaker provides a power cord, and the plug continues the design adopted since the Xiaomi TV 2S. It is small in size and occupies less space. It is also very convenient to plug and unplug, and the length is sufficient.

　

Manipulate as you please

　The front of the fuselage is the aluminum alloy control panel of the Xiaomi Internet Speaker, which is treated with a metal brushed wire process, which is very textured. There are 7 buttons set on the panel, which is similar to the layout of the TV remote control, so that users can get started quickly. Users can also control it by installing the "Xiaomi Internet Speaker" APP on their mobile phones. In addition, the Xiaomi Internet Speaker also supports voice search function. You can long press the "CH" button of the control panel and say the name of the singer or song you want to listen to, and the Xiaomi Internet Speaker can play it. In actual experience, it is not reduced to a gimmick, but rather practical.

　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 　　

Small body also has a big voice

In terms of the sound quality performance that everyone cares about the most, Xiaomi Internet Speaker has designed four speakers under the fuselage, two 2.5-inch full-range speakers, which can effectively reduce the distortion rate. Two 20-core spherical high-purity mulberry silk film tweeters, coupled with the application of inverted air duct technology, make the audio amplitude record: low frequency 60Hz to high frequency 22KHz. At the same time, the sound sampling rate is as high as 192KHz/24bit, while the standard CD sound quality is only 44.1KHz/16bit, and the limit of human ear resolution is only 48KHz.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the sound debugging of Xiaomi Internet speakers is handled by the original Philips home audio acoustic architecture staff, which also makes people look forward to the sound quality of this speaker.

After listening to a few songs, we found that the performance of this speaker is still basically in line with expectations. The sound is clear and full, the sound is delicate and pure, the bass is elastic, and the overall diving is also very good. It is somewhat sweet in treble, accurate in mid-tone, and strong in bass in "Infernal Affairs". For the price of 399, it can be said to be excellent value for money, which is enough to meet the needs of daily life. However, due to the limitation of the cavity itself and the size of the speaker, it is still not comparable to professional Hi-Fi speakers that "listen to it below 10,000 yuan".

There are various connection methods, no battery is a pity.

Smartphones can connect speakers through the Xiaomi Speaker App, which currently supports Android and iOS devices. Xiaomi Internet Speaker is on the App side, and can also customize different channels for different users, and can switch between different channels through the CH key. It also supports multiple mobile phone connections and multiple user connections. At the same time, Xiaomi Internet Speaker also supports voice operation, which can voice on-demand music, audio services, etc.

In addition, this speaker can also connect other devices through Bluetooth, USB 2.0 interface, WiFi (AirPlay, DLNA) and AUX in 3.5mm interface, etc. You have to think of it. After setting up the network through the corresponding APP, the speaker can play network music without any other devices. Without connecting other devices, there is also 8GB of storage space in the speaker, which is used to store audio content in offline mode.

In addition to the powerful sound quality performance and convenient use experience, the biggest highlight of the Xiaomi Internet speaker is its powerful music library. This speaker brings together Kuwo Music, Xiami Music, Xiaomi Music, Cook Music, Himalayan FM, Dragonfly FM, Koala FM, Phoenix FM, Litchi Music, Bewa Listen and other ten mainstream audio service providers. The massive content is almost enough to meet the needs of all groups.

However, it has to be mentioned that, as a portable speaker, Xiaomi’s Internet speaker does not have a built-in lithium battery, and can only be used through a power cord to connect to the power supply. The use of close to the power supply is undoubtedly a great stranglehold on portability. I don’t know if Xiaomi’s move is due to the high battery requirements for driving 4 high-quality speakers. After all, professional speakers that emphasize sound quality are basically active.

The polarized speaker market

In the short term, without the rapid development of sound technology, the situation of portable audio and sound quality will continue for a long time. In this case, the current trend of polarization of speakers is very obvious. On one end are traditional expensive Hi-Fi speakers that sell sound as a selling point, and on the other end are portable speakers that flexibly respond to a variety of usage scenarios.

If the shape of traditional Hi-Fi speakers has been basically finalized, then it can be said that portable speakers are still exploring their own path. Although the portable speakers launched by JBL, Sony and other manufacturers are expensive, they inevitably need to rely on the network function of the mobile phone when listening to Internet music. From this perspective, there is no doubt that Xiaomi Internet speakers are closer to the complete body of portable speakers in form, and the price of 399 yuan is basically only a fraction of the competitors, which has a more significant role in promoting the development of the congeneric product market.
