Xiaomi TV is known as "the first TV set for young people", and it has also been upgraded to the second generation. In addition to upgrading the screen to 49 inch 4K resolution, Xiaomi TV 2 also adds independent sound. The audio module includes Soundbar and wireless subwoofer module. What about its actual experience? Let's see:
The independent sound module of Xiaomi TV 2 is a major feature, and the independent sound is included with the TV, including an 8-speaker (6 full frequency+2 high-frequency) Soundbar and an 8-inch speaker wireless subwoofer to form an 8.1 speaker combination
The Soundbar of Xiaomi TV 2 is composed of an 874mm long sound box, which contains six independent full frequency speakers and two high-frequency speakers. The full frequency speakers are placed upward, while the silk film high-frequency speakers are placed forward
The long shape is suitable for being placed below Xiaomi TV 2, but it cannot be placed directly below it, because there is a touch button directly below Xiaomi TV 2
The whole Soundbar has a unique shape, which is different from our common speakers
There is a millet logo on the left side of SoundBar
On the right is the volume key, next song and play key. Long press the play key to connect the SoundBar and the Bluetooth subwoofer
The rear is equipped with a coaxial socket, 3.5mm socket and power socket. The power of Soundbar is 40W, which is not very high
A complimentary coaxial line can be directly inserted into the socket behind the Soundbar to connect with Xiaomi TV 2
There is an audio interface behind the TV, which is connected to the coaxial interface behind the Soundbar
In addition to Soundbar, another important member of Xiaomi's home audio system is the Bluetooth subwoofer with up to 8-inch speakers. This subwoofer is absolutely a giant. Its huge size can be clearly seen when compared with Xiaomi TV 2 on the table
There is a millet logo shaped power indicator on the top. It flashes when the wireless is not connected. It will stay on after the connection is successful

The surface of the subwoofer is wavy
The wireless subwoofer has good workmanship and huge volume
Subwoofer power is 80W
We put some lossless music files on the Xiaomi route, and then let Xiaomi TV 2 connect. In actual use, whether it is FLAC or APE, Xiaomi TV 2 can play normally
The music playing interface of Xiaomi TV 2 is very simple. The main interface only includes song information, lyrics and play buttons
At the same time, Xiaomi TV 2 also has a USB slot, which can read audio/video files in a USB flash drive or hard disk, which is equivalent to adding an external memory to Xiaomi TV 2

As for the most important part of sound quality, let's also share the experience of Xiaomi's home audio in terms of subjective listening. Although the power of Xiaomi's home stereo is quite high (SoundBar power 40W, subwoofer 80W), the official propaganda can cover a room of 500 square meters, which is slightly exaggerated. In actual use, it is recommended to use it in a space of no more than 40 square meters. From the perspective of sound style, SoundBar is more prominent in the performance of mid-range, which is more suitable for playing voice, especially for some warm style male voices. SoundBar's voice is not a kind of quality oriented and analytical voice, but a kind of gentle and thick voice.
High frequency is not the strength of SoundBar, and the extension of high frequency is not strong, which is also related to the tuning style of the whole Xiaomi family stereo. The subwoofer is the feature of the whole system, which may be due to power problems and wireless connection defects. The subwoofer's low-frequency diving feeling is not deep enough, and the strength is also relatively lacking. Of course, the quality and quantity of low-frequency of an independent subwoofer have reached a higher level than that of ordinary TV speakers. On the whole, Xiaomi home audio, as a set of TV supporting audio, is extremely valuable and sincere. After all, we rarely see such "8.1" speaker combinations in the smart TV field. Compared with more professional audio, Xiaomi family audio still lacks confidence, and there is still a big gap in quality.
In addition, if we do not use the digital output of Xiaomi TV 2, but use some high-quality audio sources to connect to Xiaomi home audio, we believe that users will get great surprises in terms of sound quality and sense of hearing. The specific performance is in the extension and details of high frequency, the strength of low frequency diving and the connection of medium and low frequency. In addition to music playing, the effect of Xiaomi's home audio system is significantly improved when playing movies and accessing game consoles. The addition of subwoofer is particularly necessary for these scenes that need shocking effects.
