Foreword: Speaker products are not unfamiliar to everyone. As an ordinary speaker product, its purpose is only to provide us with music playing. But have you ever thought about what would happen if a speaker had intelligent functions? Dingdong smart speaker is such a smart speaker. It can interact with you by voice. You can play music, jokes, operas, weather, etc. as you want. You can enjoy the voice intelligent experience without any manual operation. How about the experience of this speaker? Let's have a look at my evaluation report.
Appearance evaluation: Dingdong smart speakers are very simple in packaging, without fancy decoration. They are packed with environment-friendly kraft paper, which is popular at present. This kind of packaging has a strong compression resistance. Friends who have bought millet products should have a great understanding of this type of packaging. On the back, only the information of the manufacturer and developer, as well as the product information, is very simple.
After opening the package of Dingdong smart speakers, you can see that Dingdong is placed in two black sponges, which are firmly fixed, so that the speakers will not be unnecessarily damaged due to swaying from left to right during transportation, and the speakers are carefully designed.
Dingdong's factory standard configuration is the instruction manual X1, power adapter X1, speaker X1, but it is not guaranteed that the official release will be the same as the public beta trial version.
Although the power adapter is exquisite and excellent in workmanship, the only fatal disadvantage is that it is too big. Basically, you need to spare a jack for it to use. If there are subsequent products, you hope to improve the appearance design of the power adapter. In addition, the logo of JD+can be seen on the back shell and plug of the power adapter, The manufacturer of this power adapter is the famous TCL. The input of the power adapter is 100-240v-50/60Hz 1A, and the output is 15V=1. A.
The Ding Dong smart speaker that Xiao Bian got is black, and the other two colors are white and red. This speaker is very powerful in appearance, and it is a necessary device for shops, bars, or entertainment places with atmosphere. (The size of the whole Dingdong smart speaker is about 24cm in overall height and 12cm at the bottom. The size is not small.)
The overall workmanship of Dingdong smart speakers is quite excellent. The shell adopts an integrated metal process, which feels good when touched. The top ring uses the piano paint baking process, while the top control touch part is made of frosted black plastic. The shell and upper and lower parts are assembled in place without too obvious combination gap. If the gap is too large, it will affect the beauty to a certain extent. Let's take a look at the details of the product appearance.
Although the holes on the shell are very delicate, and each hole is accurate and the size is the same, the relative disadvantage is that it is easy to get dust into the holes. Usually, people should pay attention not to be in dusty places. In addition, music is broadcast from these holes, Dingdong smart speaker is equipped with four full frequency speaker units and a bass speaker unit. With a special appearance design, it can achieve 360 degree uniform sound wave transmission, allowing sound to be transmitted everywhere in the room. (In the actual test audition, even if the sound quality is turned to the maximum, there is no broken sound. The sound effect of this speaker is not just superficial, but really powerful)
There is a mute mark on the ring part of the top piano baking varnish, but you should not think of it as a mute button. The voice operation of the speaker is announced for you in the following section. In addition, the white decoration on the top of the ring part is an LED ring light, and there will be light prompts when the power is turned on or the operation is carried out.
The most important parts of Dingdong smart speakers are the touch operations on the top and the JD key. The main function of the JD key is to long press to connect to the wireless network settings, short press to conduct voice search, that is, voice interaction. The position of the surrounding volume slides to different positions. Touch is to adjust the volume. The other positions at 3:00 and 9:00 are the previous song and the next song. The position at 12:00 is to collect. The position at 6:00 is to pause and play. All operations are completed by touch.
In addition to the power socket at the bottom of Dingdong smart speakers, the same design of the piano paint ring as the top, there is also a rubber anti-skid pad design. The rubber anti-skid pad is also printed with product information and the manufacturer.
The power socket adopts the common pin socket.
Dingdong smart speakers, whether placed in the bedroom or the living room, can be said to be a piece of X-shaped artifact. The LED ring lights on the top are very compelling. They are a conspicuous product wherever they are placed.
(The blue LED ring light is really beautiful)
After the power is connected, Dingdong LED will show continuous blue light (very beautiful), and then it is necessary to set the network. If there is no network setting, Dingdong will give a voice reminder that it is not connected to the network at present, and local songs can be played without the network (Dingdong has built-in 2GB memory). After the correct power supply, a small LED light will light up at the bottom.
After all network connections are completed, Ding Dong's top LED light will be temporarily off. It will light up only when you perform a series of operations. For example, when you adjust the volume, the blue light will grow when you zoom in, and vice versa. Here is a reminder. According to the instructions, when the voice search function starts, you need to add "Ding Dong Ding Dong" in front of the sentence. After a small editing test, you don't need to add it. Just say what you want to say. Because of the embedded voice technology of iFLYTEK, Ding Dong is very good at using voice.
APP operation: Dingdong's APP supports IOS and Android systems. The Android client demonstrated below completes the registration and login operations according to the prompts. When entering the wireless connection settings, press and hold the top button for 3 seconds according to the prompts, and then release the hand to hear the voice prompt: waiting to connect to the network, now you can enter the next step.
However, when connecting Dingdong for the first time, many people will think that the connection process is not smooth, but after a small editing test, it is concluded that the mobile phone must be placed on the top of the speaker during the connection process. In addition, if the connection is not successful for a long time, try several times and start again. Remember not to enter the wrong WiFi password! After correct connection, you will enter the main interface of APP. If you ask where is Ding Dong's intelligent experience? The first is the voice interaction function just mentioned, and the other is the manual APP control. The main interface of APP is divided into My, Audio Library, and More.
In my column: you will see your recently played songs, cached songs, and favorite songs. In addition, the radio station is also such a function similar to the playback log, allowing you to find out what songs you have listened to recently. The last assistant has some similar intelligent functions, namely, the reminding operation and the timing stop function.
In more columns, there are some commonly used setting functions, but Xiaobian found a bright spot here, that is, home appliance control. It was found that Dingdong cannot control other intelligent devices, but it must be JD+own home appliances, which can be controlled by Dingdong. In addition, in the audio box, we can see the current memory capacity, songs, and version information of Dingdong. In addition, Ding Dong doesn't seem to support memory card expansion or battery charging. It is doomed that this product can only run in Wifi and places with power supply, but it can cache some songs to local memory, but 2GB memory is still not enough.
The music library of Dingdong Smart Speaker boasts ten million kinds of music and other resources, but many songs and newer songs have not been found. In addition, the music library is divided into two kinds of resources: music and radio. I edited a post 80s talk show by Wang Zijian, and the resources are from earlier to the latest.
After listening to it for a while, I felt that it was still very good. The sound quality must be speechless. When you turn the volume to the maximum, it is estimated that the neighbors near you will complain to you. Yes, it is so loud, so loud, and so wayward. But when the editor enters the player, he found that it is just a way to see the program list, and play the next song The player with functions such as equalizer adjustment and sound effect adjustment does not have the function of pausing play. Maybe the function of APP is not designed for playing music, but more is the smart home appliance control just mentioned.
Experience summary: Let's talk about the shortcomings first. The APP has no voice control function, and every time you need voice interaction, you need to operate on Dingdong's own buttons. There is no built-in rechargeable battery design and memory card expansion. In addition, there are no other obvious shortcomings. Here we come to see the advantages. The sound quality is excellent. Even the maximum volume does not break the sound. The appearance is very high. The town store home is equipped with a magic device, and the appearance and technology are also excellent, Voice interaction can quickly distinguish correct instructions even when there is noise (because there are 8 microphones at the bottom of Dingdong, and the microphone Beam forming technology is used to locate the sound bit, so that even if there is noise around, it can be filtered out very well), APP control of playing music is a very simple and convenient function. There is also the control function of household appliances that has not been evaluated. Because there is no such product, it cannot be tested. In general, Dingdong is worth recommending. First of all, its sound quality will make you impressed. In addition to high intensity speech recognition, it is a very good smart speaker, However, I still hope Ding Dong can control not only his own JD+appliances! In this way, we can experience the smart home and control everything with Ding Dong! The product that iFLYTEK cooperates with JD is quite successful. Let's look forward to the update of Dingdong in the future! Highlight: excellent sound quality, easy control, only one button operation, excellent voice interaction experience, and accurate recognition of any noisy environment.
