Xiaozhi Super Speaker is the first smart speaker in the world that can be controlled by voice. Its biggest feature is that it has the ability to understand natural language. It can perform various operations on the speaker without touching and speaking commands. Voice chat is also no problem. Of course, as a smart speaker, it can also recommend songs to play according to the user's personal information and music style preferences. In the future, voice control can be carried out by connecting with other intelligent devices, which can realize the linkage of various scenarios and control your smart home.

The author was lucky to get the opportunity to evaluate Xiaozhi's super speakers. Thanks to Lei Feng.com, this product is from Shanghai Ju Entropy Information Technology Co., Ltd., and also thanks to Ju Entropy Co., Ltd., which has spent a lot of time designing good products. Without saying much, turn to the main topic and start the evaluation:

1、 Unpacking

The packaging box is square in design, and the overall color is black. There is only a simple logo of Xiaozhi Super Speaker in the middle, without too much introduction. The overall feeling is very simple and comfortable. There is a blue seam in the middle, which is easy to open.

There is the symbol of Himalayan FM on the side of the box. Xiaozhi has rich content about its APP, which can be seen in detail in the following app.

On the other side is Xiaozhi's welcome slogan, which is a small highlight of the packaging box. He introduced himself in the first person with great humility, and even mentioned the continuous updating of the system. It can be seen that the team has worked very hard for Xiaozhi's super speakers to complete this product, which also makes people full of expectations for Xiaozhi's future.

At the bottom of the box is the product model, product color, official website, manufacturer, customer service phone number, bar code and other information.

Open the box and you can see that there is a simple description of Xiaozhi's operation inside the box, so that you can not be afraid of losing the manual even if you accidentally lose it. The title is even more powerful: let's be irritable!

Further down, we first see a layer of pearl cotton, which adds another layer of protection to Xiaozhi's super speakers. In order to deliver Xiaozhi's super speakers to us safely, Entropy has also been very considerate in this regard.

Take off the pearl wool, you can see the prompt on the interface above the paper shell, and simply carry out the operating instructions for the three main parts of the Xiaozhi Super Speaker. The simple prompt allows us to clearly know the simple use method before we use it, which can also be said to be a simple key instruction book. (It's really hard work everywhere. It means you can't use it.)

Open the paper shell above, Xiaozhi Super Speaker has been shown in front of us. For the blank space of the paper shell below, there is also Xiaozhi's MIC hole and the logo of the network light. In order to take out Xiaozhi conveniently, a take out hole has been added.

The lowest layer is the power adapter and audio adapter cable, as well as instructions.

Detail display:

Xiaozhi's super speakers are mainly black, with a circle of silver metal bars underneath. From small to large, Xiaozhi is very distinctive. The body adopts a frosted design, which makes it very comfortable to feel.

Above are blue outer ring indicator lights, signs, red hearts and dustbins. The touch design is adopted. Long press the logo logo to give instructions. During the play process, short press is temporary or play.

When playing, click the heart to increase the volume, long press the heart, collect the song being played, etc

When playing, click the trash can to reduce the volume. Long press the trash can to switch to the next track you don't like.

The speaker sound area of Xiaozhi Super Speaker is on the top. The horizontal bars with different lengths and the blue metal mesh can prevent hard objects from being pushed in, A circle can ensure that the sound is diffused to all directions, which can achieve the effect of surround sound.

There are two noise canceling mics in front. The voice recognition of Xiaozhi Super Speaker can be carried out at different locations. The two MIC holes are relatively close. It is recommended to add four MIC holes so that voice control can be carried out in different directions.

At the bottom of the Xiaozhi speaker box, in addition to the QR code scanning and downloading of the Xiaozhi assistant on the client side, you can also simply see the model and input power, as well as some websites on the official website and other information.

The key is also at the bottom, marked with a red dot (off) and a green dot (on), with the Reset key next to it. A layer of anti-skid rubber ring is added outside. Even if it is placed on the slippery glass, Xiaozhi will not fall automatically. The anti-skid effect is very good.

The jack of Xiaozhi Super Speaker is arranged below the frame. The 3.5mm audio interface can be used to connect headphones, home audio or speakers, so that the audio can become intelligent instantly. The middle is the status light of the network. When we connect the client, there will be a light prompt. The last one is the power socket, and the jack is arranged below the frame, It has achieved the function of concealment, adding a lot of beauty to Xiaozhi's overall appearance

The power adapter of Xiaozhi Super Speaker adopts two pin plug mode. The input and output power of the adapter are marked below. Xiaozhi has carefully added a 3.5MM audio cable, which can be connected to the home audio, making the audio become intelligent. Connecting to the home audio can also bring different listening enjoyment.

Finally, the international convention is to have a family photo.

2、 Mobile APP operation experience

After the Xiaozhi speaker is turned on, you will see the blue light flashing. It takes a little longer to turn on the speaker. After 30 seconds, you will hear a voice prompt to remind you to connect to the Xiaozhi client. The client can download through the QR code scanning behind Xiaozhi. This is very convenient, and the connection is also relatively easy, which is the reason for the long boot time.

Opening the APP also gives a simple description of how to operate Xiaozhi.

The speaker can be added in two ways: WIFI and sound wave. If the WIFI connection is unsuccessful, sound wave can be used instead. The sound is very sharp.

The content of Xiaozhi Assistant is very rich, and the introduction is very detailed. In the "About Speaker", you can find the power and detailed configuration of Xiaozhi in real time. Xiaozhi can filter songs suitable for you according to your personal information data. On the main interface, you can see six menus, namely My Music, Memo List, Smart Device, Profile, Settings and About. The interface is very simple, and there is no sliding left and right menu. All operation functions are selected and set through the main interface, If you want to listen to a song, just say the word "Xiaozhi", and then say the name of the music you want to listen to. After the recognition is completed, it will automatically start playing

The built-in Himalayan FM contains many types of columns, such as crosstalk, novels, jokes, etc. Just click in and you can choose what you like to listen to through menu selection, or you can say what you want to listen to through voice control

At present, intelligent devices and profiles have little support for intelligent devices. There are only 28 manufacturers. Among the supported intelligent devices, the author does not have them at present, so it is impossible to test them. It is expected that more manufacturers and products will join in as the system updates in the future.

Xiaozhi can set an alarm clock to remind you to get up or go to bed, and regularly broadcast the weather forecast. The "Night Mode" can also customize the closing time period of the LED light, so that the use of turning off the light at night can reduce interference, which is very considerate. Also, the volume can be adjusted in the client.

The "Help" interface contains everything you don't understand or want to know, which is very practical.

3、 Summary

1. About sound quality: as a speaker, sound quality is the most important. Xiaozhi's bass effect is very good. Most of the tones can feel the vibration of the table, which is very shocking. The mid frequency voice is full, and the high frequency voice is clear and bright. I am very satisfied with my "agaric" voice.

2. About performance: In terms of performance, Xiaozhi's main function is the "voice recognition" function. As it claims, the recognition accuracy of the "voice recognition" function has exceeded 95%, but the recognition speed depends entirely on how fast your network speed is. In terms of power on and power off, it is not as fast as 30s in the manual, and sometimes it takes 1 minute to wait. When starting to connect to WiFi, the speed is also a little slow. In the absence of WiFi, it is not possible to connect to mobile devices through Bluetooth like other wireless speakers and play the music of the phone. In terms of voice recognition function, there is only the function of awakening Xiaozhi, not the function of the next or previous song, nor the function of returning. These functions rely on the phone or keys to use. The advantage of "Xiaozhi" is that it can broadcast the weather for you regularly, tell you stories, tell you jokes, and have simple conversations.

three proposal

1: The boot time is a little long, it is recommended to optimize it later

2： The voice playback function is also added to the client

3： Alarm clock reminder and so on. Manual input is supported on the client

4： The client should add a favorite section and songs, which can't be seen

5： Every time the network is changed, it needs to be reset. This is inconvenient. It is recommended to add it directly build

6： Bluetooth connection can be added to increase the options. It can be used in the environment without WIFI Play songs on your local mobile phone

7： In terms of voice, I think it can be more friendly. You can set male and female voices, children's voices, or add some star voices in a certain navigation. After all, a single mechanized voice is relatively stiff.

In general, Xiaozhi Super Speaker, as a voice controlled speaker, has a certain intelligence. My nephew recites the first sentence of an ancient poem. He can recite the following sentence, sometimes even a funny version. When asked if he has eaten, he will say that I only eat electricity. It is believed that Xiaozhi will become more and more familiar with you as the system continues to update.
