Xiaozhi Super Speaker Upgrade Open Box Appearance Experience

It is understood that there is no difference between the packaging box and the first generation. The packaging box is square in design, and it is mainly black on the whole. There is only a simple logo of Xiaozhi Super Speaker in the middle, without too much introduction. It feels very simple and comfortable on the whole

There is a blue line in the middle of the box, which adds a lot of features to the box. At the beginning, I felt that Xiaozhi looked very small, but when I saw such a large box, I felt that Xiaozhi's super speakers were not so small, and would have an impulse to open the box

Compared with the generation of Xiaozhi Super Speaker, which is transparent and tamper proof, this upgraded version has changed to a welcome slogan, and this welcome slogan is quite long, which also adds a small highlight to the packaging box. It is simple to introduce Xiaozhi Super Speaker, and even mentioned the continuous update of the system. It can be seen that the team has worked hard to do a good job of this product for Xiaozhi Super Speaker

In addition to the LOGO on the back of the box, there are words of Xiaozhi. From the bottom, we can simply see the product information of Xiaozhi Super Speaker, including the model, official website and other information. There is a small icon of "black" in the upper right corner of the product information, which can clearly know that this model is black. Xiaozhi Super Speaker has black and white appearances

Tear off the adhesive tape and take out the front cover. The first thing I saw was a layer of pearl wool, which added another layer of protection to Xiaozhi's super speakers. In order to deliver Xiaozhi's super speakers to us safely, the team was also very considerate in this regard

Take away the pearl wool, and you can simply carry out the operation prompt for Xiaozhi Super Speaker on the prompt of the above interface. The simple prompt allows us to clearly know the simple use method before using it, which can also be said to be a simple key manual

Open the key manual, Xiaozhi's super speaker has been shown in front of us. For the blank space below, it is still necessary to remove the logo of Xiaozhi's MIC hole and network light and see that. In order to prevent Xiaozhi from being difficult to take out when it is difficult to take out Xiaozhi, a take out hole has been carefully added, so that Xiaozhi can be easily taken out

Xiaozhi's super speakers are mainly black. When I first saw Xiaozhi, I didn't know how to describe the appearance. From small to large, I felt that Xiaozhi was very distinctive. The body adopts a frosted design, which makes me feel very comfortable. Such a unique Xiaozhi super speaker can be used as a home decoration, adding a decorative item to home decoration

There are three buttons in the circle in the middle of Xiaozhi Super Speaker. Long press the "Red Heart Button" to collect music. Click to increase the volume. Long press the "Recycle Bin Icon" to dislike the current music. Click to reduce the volume. Long press the "Xiaozhi LOGO" in the middle to give voice commands. Click to play/pause songs, In terms of operation, it is relatively simple. Each key has two functions, which are determined by long press and click. The simple operation mode is easy to accept and operate

The speaker sound area of Xiaozhi Super Speaker is at the top of the tower. The horizontal bars with different lengths and the blue metal mesh can prevent hard objects from being stuffed in

Two MIC holes can be seen below the sound producing area, which can recognize the voice of Xiaozhi Super Speaker at different positions. The two MIC holes are relatively close. If four MIC holes can be added, voice control can be carried out in different directions

The jack of Xiaozhi Super Speaker is arranged below the frame. The 3.5mm audio interface can connect to the home audio or speaker, making the audio become intelligent instantly. The middle is the status light of the network. When we connect the client, there will be a light prompt here. The last one is the power socket. The jack is arranged under the frame, so as to achieve the function of hiding, It adds a lot of beauty to Xiaozhi's overall appearance

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

The power switch key of Xiaozhi speaker is also placed at the bottom, marked with green and red respectively, rather than the traditional on or off sign. Green is certainly the start, while red is the shutdown. After the start, the blue light in the middle will flash to prompt

The RESET reset key is also placed at the bottom. After the startup is successful, long press the RESET key to restore the factory settings for Xiaozhi. For Xiaozhi's current system stability, the RESET key is relatively seldom used

A layer of anti-skid rubber ring is added outside. Even if it is placed on the slippery glass, Xiaozhi will not feel the phenomenon of automatic fall and damage. The rubber ring plays a very important role

The power adapter of Xiaozhi Super Speaker is quite large, and it uses a two pin plug. 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

This is a small manual of Xiaozhi. It has graphic and text explanations. From the manual, we can carry out some operations and connections of Xiaozhi in detail. After reading it carefully, it is easier to get started

Xiaozhi Super Speaker Client Experience

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

The home page of the client still starts with the connection of the tutorial and the identification of each key. This is a brief introduction on the home page. You can simply understand that Xiaozhi has done a lot of reminders for some tutorials and connections. The packaging box, voice prompt and the home page of the client are full of introductions and reminders

After entering the main interface, you will see the slogan "Connect to a new speaker". Click "Add" to enter some settings, enter the WIFI password, and then automatically send the account number and password to complete the settings

Fill in personal information data, and you can filter suitable songs according to the data. In 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 you can't see the left and right sliding menus. All the operation functions are selected and set through the main interface. If you want to listen to a song, You must say the password "Xiaozhi", and then say the name of the music you want to listen to. After the identification is completed, it will automatically start playing

My music By clicking the LOGO of Xiaozhi speaker, you can play the built-in songs, or even say the songs you want to listen to directly. You can see the playing interface in the client's music, and you can hate and collect songs. Click the icon in the upper right corner to see the built-in songs Xiaozhi has prepared for us, which can be played by selecting

Hot There are many types of columns for you to choose from, such as crosstalk, novels, jokes, etc. Just click in, you can choose the columns you like to listen to through menu selection, or you can say the columns you want to listen to through voice control

Smart devices and profiles At present, there is a little less support for intelligent devices, only 28 manufacturers. Among the supported intelligent devices, the author is very few. In terms of intelligent devices, I have more Xiaomi. I hope that more intelligent devices can be added in the future, so that voice control of intelligent devices can be carried out

Backup List Xiaozhi has the alarm clock reminder function. Just tell it what time it is, and it will automatically recognize the record. When the time comes, it will automatically give voice reminders. You can also view the reminders we set in the memo

set up Some settings of Xiaozhi Super Speaker, such as night mode, can set the flashing time period of LED lights, which is very considerate

You can even set the time to play the weather. When you set the time, the weather of the day will be played automatically when the time arrives, so that you can clearly know how the weather is today. The volume of speakers can also be controlled at will. The sound is not so loud. You can turn up the volume to make yourself hear it clearly

help If you encounter a problem that you don't understand in the process of using, you can find out whether there is a problem through the help option

About speakers Here, we can clearly understand Xiaozhi's power, remaining memory, body memory, preset songs and so on. In the preset songs, we can view the songs that Xiaozhi has prepared for us. You can click and play them at will. The body memory is 4GB, which is enough for storing music. Xiaozhi does not support the access of memory card. It's a pity that if you want to save a large number of songs to Xiaozhi, It's troublesome. I don't see a separate menu for my favorite songs. It's troublesome to find all my favorite songs

The overall performance of Xiaozhi Super Speaker is very good. The unique appearance and simple operation of the client can be easily used. The voice recognition is also quite accurate. At least most of the music spoken can be played directly. I am slightly satisfied with the recognition of the alarm clock and the weather, but it is difficult to remind the alarm clock, It even has to be said several times before it can succeed. Manual input can be added to the client. The sound quality is also very good, but the bass is relatively unsatisfactory. Maybe because the Xiaozhi is too small to do everything perfectly, the connection to the home stereo has a different feeling. The interface of the client is simple and easy to operate. At present, only songs are found in the collection. There is no independent classification, and there are few intelligent devices supported. I hope more intelligent devices can be added in the future

proposal

1: The boot time is a little long

2: The iphoen phone is always disconnected, but the Android phone doesn't find any problems

3: Can't upload songs by yourself

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

5: The voice playback function should also be added to the client

6: I hope you can customize your own name, for example, I set it to "Lao Liu" to sing a song for you

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

8: The support of intelligent devices is not enough, and many intelligent devices cannot be connected, such as Xiaomi products

summary

As the first voice controlled Xiaozhi super speaker, after the first generation and later upgraded versions, Xiaozhi has always brought us more wonderful voice, with a recognition rate of 90%. Commands such as "to sing a song" and "to joke" can be executed through voice. It is easy for Xiaozhi to execute commands, plus the control of intelligent devices, Another highlight is that intelligent devices can still be implemented through voice control. The team is also constantly updating the system, with built-in 4G high-speed flash memory, which is sufficient for us to store some songs daily. Xiaozhi has also joined forces with Tiantianmeidian and Xiami, and the song resources also have 10 million song resources, plus the strength of Himalayan radio, Friends who love listening to jokes and radio stations can perfectly meet your requirements. I hope the follow-up team can bring more functions to Xiao Zhi
