Wang Xiaobo said: It is not enough for a person to have this life, he should also have a poetic world. Music may be the most convenient way to get to the poetic world. In the poetic atmosphere created by music, we can temporarily forget the many hesitations and helplessness in front of us, indulge in our own spiritual garden, and "hide in the small building to be unified, regardless of winter, summer, spring and autumn".

So, how can we more easily access to music that fits our current mood to reach the poetic world? Today, the product that Xiao Bian experienced today can let us hear a good voice in a second, and meet the right voice at the right time.

Who is it?

It is O2 Cloud Audio, a wireless smart audio with simple design, excellent sound quality, convenient operation and powerful functions.

This product is a high-quality wireless Internet smart audio designed for young people, which can control gestures, voice, personalized music recommendation, WiFi direct connection to the Internet to play massive content, and is designed to bring users a new music experience. According to the introduction of O2 R&D team, most of the wireless audio products on the market are vulnerable to the impact of wireless connection on the sound quality. O2 sees the needs of users for sound quality and personalized music, and introduces this smart sound that can be operated by gesture and can recommend music through scene radio, combined with personalized music, to bring consumers unprecedented music experience.

▲ The outer package of O2 Cloud Sound is very grand. The front pure white background color is matched with the artistic effect picture of Cloud Sound, which makes people imaginative and can't help seeing the impulse of "Fangrong". The packing box is well made and has enough hardness to protect the products in it. In addition, the manufacturer also provided a handbag for the product, which can be put into the cloud audio box for easy carrying. Even if it is used as a gift, it will be more attractive.

▲ The main features and specific information of this product are printed on the side of the packaging box. Users can quickly learn what the main audio functions are.

▲ From the side, we can see that the opening mode of the packaging box is very special, and the opening mode of the oblique section is very unique, which is also convenient for taking out the product. The bright yellow background of the middle seam adds some flexibility to the whole box.

▲ Open the box, we can see the face of the O2 cloud stereo. What Xiaobian gets is the black O2, which looks calm and generous. The large round screen in the middle of the front is the most attractive place. A circle of metal reflective tape surrounding the screen makes it more flexible and elegant while being calm.

▲ Take out the audio body weighing up to 1.65KG, and look carefully, we will find that the overall design of the audio system is very smooth, the front is covered with a large area of black mesh cover except the screen, and the entire front area has no function buttons, which is extremely simple. The 1.9 inch diameter round touch screen is as profound as a mirror when not turned on.

▲ If we look at O2 from another angle, we will be surprised to find the unique and novel design of this product, which is different from most of the audio products on the market, The overall design of O2 is like a huge pebble. When placed flat on the desktop, the back will form a certain angle with the desktop, and the front will also have a certain inclination. In addition to bringing more amazing and flexible visual effects, this practice will also make it easier for users to operate when facing the audio.

▲ Different from the front design, The plastic material on the back of O2 adopts the piano baking process, which has a very smooth and delicate feel. The bottom is designed with a non slip cushion, which can effectively prevent it from falling when it is placed on the table. The back is designed with a power interface, which can be connected to an external power source to listen to music while charging the audio. The switch button is the only physical key of the entire audio, and the bottom is the inversion hole, which can also act as a handle, It is convenient for users to hold when moving the audio. This design is really great. After all, the round and smooth surface of O2 is not easy to hold without this handle.

After reading the small series of O2 Cloud Audio, you must have an intuitive impression of this product. As a sound, O2 has a very high appearance. In addition, it has been found that there is no more button on the O2 surface than one on/off button, so how to operate this audio?

Before the actual experience, let's first understand the specific parameters of O2.

God, where are the configuration parameters of the audio system? This is a smart phone configuration! You are right. O2 is so powerful. After all, it is a wireless smart audio product with an operating system. Is it possible that all the features described on the O2 box are gimmicks? How about the actual operation and experience? Now, let's make up for everyone.

1、 Round touch screen: simple operation, elegant and exquisite.

▲ The 1.9 inch round capacitive touch screen configured by O2 is absolutely the most outstanding feature of its many novel designs. The round screen is more delicate and flexible than the general square screen. Through this screen, we can easily and quickly set various functions of O2. In addition, this screen can also display different contents under different operation interfaces, and display song information and covers in the form of an old record player on the playback interface; The screensaver can be set in standby mode to display both weather and dynamic spectrum, which is both ornamental and practical.

2、 Network settings and scene radio

▲ Before starting to use O2, we need to connect O2 to the WiFi network through the screen terminal operation. Because the O2 screen supports touch operation, the network setting is very simple. You can quickly access the network by entering the WiFi password through the built-in virtual keyboard. The O2 built-in WiFi module only supports 2.4GWiFi. It would be perfect if 5GWiFi support could be added.

▲ As a smart audio, O2's main function is to quickly obtain unlimited music resources through the network and realize private customization. Through the built-in scene radio and its powerful APP program, you can get your favorite music at any time according to your needs and mood. You can quickly get music that matches your current situation and mood according to the built-in scene classification, such as bathing, sports, learning, work, errands, etc.

▲ It is particularly worth mentioning that the O2 APP supports users to import several third-party music APPs, such as the common music lists of Douban, Netease Cloud Music, QQ Music, Xiami Music, etc., which has completely broken the barriers of all platforms. You can import your music lists at will. The rest is left to O2. What you need to do is to listen to your favorite music quietly. (Note: the figure above is from the network)

However, at present, O2 APP only supports IOS system, which makes Android users feel embarrassed? It is hoped that the official will launch the Android app as soon as possible.

3、 Gesture control and voice control interaction

▲ O2 Cloud Audio has a powerful gesture operation function. Under the black net cover of O2 front, there are actually many gesture operation sensing areas hidden. By gently touching these areas, most of the audio operation can be completed. Volume decrease/increase, play/pause, and favorite songs can all be completed.

In addition, sliding from left to right on the screen surface switches to the next song, and sliding from right to left returns to the previous song. Note that this function needs to be enabled in advanced settings and the effective distance is 10cm. In actual experience, gesture operation recognition is relatively sensitive, but maybe it's just a beginner. Sometimes the touch area is not easy to grasp.

▲ Another feature of O2 is voice control. Just touch the voice sensing area at the bottom of the screen to wake up the voice control function: you can directly say the name of the song you want to listen to to O2, O2 will immediately "get it" and search for and play it for you. In addition, it has tested voice commands such as "pause", "play", "increase volume", and "decrease volume". O2 can accurately recognize and respond.

Even, we can directly say "Hello, Little O" to O2 to wake up the voice function of O2. However, through small editing tests, if the surrounding environment is noisy or O2 is playing songs at a large volume, this wake-up method is not very sensitive and effective.

4、 Sound quality and endurance

▲ O2 is equipped with three internal magnetic Nd-Fe-B full frequency speakers, plus 2.1 channel independent cavity, gradual L-shaped low-frequency enhancement phase inversion technology and HiFi level independent decoding chip, which ensures satisfactory sound quality performance of O2. As a small editor of a former pseudo HIFI enthusiast, We can responsibly tell you that the sound quality of O2 is one of the best among portable speakers with a price of less than 1000 yuan on the market, especially the bass effect, which is absolutely shocking.

In addition, according to the official parameters, O2 also supports ten stages of EQ regulation, but unfortunately, Xiao Bian has not found where the entrance for EQ regulation is in the middle of his experience in recent days. After all, rich EQ regulation can meet different needs of users.

▲ The built-in battery capacity of O2 has reached an amazing 8800mAh, which can support continuous playing of O2 for eight hours, so that it can further get rid of the bondage of wire materials and be intoxicated in the world of music at any time and anywhere. Of course, you can also quickly charge O2 through the random power supply, and O2 can play music for you even when charging.

Of course, the official 8-hour broadcast should be the data measured under laboratory conditions. In the actual experience, the editor found that it might be difficult to achieve 8-hour broadcast through the built-in battery. In addition, it is a small regret that O2 cannot visually display the remaining power through the screen. I hope that the official can achieve this function through firmware upgrade in the future.

Through nearly a week's experience, the editor has become more and more fond of this smart audio product that focuses on cloud music playing. O2 brings great surprise to Xiaobian in terms of appearance, control mode and sound quality. Compared with other similar products on the market, the price of 899 yuan also has obvious price advantages.

Of course, O2 Cloud Audio is not perfect. What I regret most is that in order to achieve a more pure music playing experience, O2 only provides a way to access the WIFI network, but does not have NFC, Bluetooth, plug-in cards, wired connections and other ways to access music. This is a waste for the built-in hi fi speakers of O2. I hope the O2 R&D team can consider adding more music acquisition methods when developing the next generation of products, so as to make the best use of its built-in hi fi speakers.

O2 Cloud Audio has built a colorful bridge between cloud music and poetic world for us. With the company of O2, let's leave behind all kinds of disappointments in our life for the time being and wander in the music garden on the cloud.

Remember: life is not only about the present, but also about poetry and distance!
