With the development of science and technology, the advent of many new devices has slowly changed the way people listen to music. From the earliest tape devices, to CDs, to lossless players, smart audio is now popular. There are many developments in music resources, manipulation methods or functions. However, in the face of the reality of market popularity, where should smart audio go? How to balance sound quality and function? Is the voice function practical? The manufacturer is constantly trying, and we are also pleased to see that many intelligent audio devices have been born recently, which give consideration to both sound quality and functions. Dongdong is one of them. Its sound quality is excellent, and its various functions are very distinctive. With her, you will never worry about not having good music.

Change your life with your voice

Although Dongdong's packaging is simple, it is exquisite. The first impression of a smart product combined with traditional audio is relatively good. The addition of 360 makes Dongdong have a stronger competitive advantage in the field of smart home products. Its concept of changing life with sound is also very promising.

The package adopts white background color, which is simple and generous on the whole. The front side is the front view of the audio system, and the product logo of Dongdong Audio A1. The top side is the logo of Dongdong and triangular decorative patterns. The back side uses graphic signs to display the six functional features of Dongdong, including human wireless sensing, intelligent scene song list, intelligent background music, intelligent sound steward, voice interactive song ordering, and remote music social networking, In addition to the production information of products, 360's logo is more prominent. It can be seen that the layout of 360 on the intelligent ecological chain is also gradually expanding.

Open the package and you can see the slogan "Witness the sound of Dongdong to change your life". The arrangement inside the box is very simple. The thick foam at both ends can play a better role in protection. The plastic bag on the Dongdong sound can better prevent the sound shell from scratching and dust from entering the box.

There are not many items, including the audio host, power adapter and instructions. The power adapter is designed with 18V 1.5A to provide sufficient power for the audio. The instructions are also quite detailed. For users who do not have the foundation to use intelligent products, it is not difficult to start. It can also be seen that Dongdong has made great efforts in product application development.

Exquisite workmanship and full sense of weight

Just like the simple and delicate packaging, Dongdong sound is also a simple appearance, as well as exquisite workmanship design. The special surface treatment process brings better touch. The sound has a sense of weight as a whole. It can be imagined that its internal materials are also more realistic, and the performance of the sound quality is also more expected.

The large-area metal carbon steel sandblasting process mesh on the front of the sound body is meticulously made, with a metallic texture and excellent touch. The inner base holds the sound body up, giving a strong visual impact on the whole. The logo logo on the bottom of dongdong plays a good role in embellishment, reducing the monotony of the front, just right.

The circular arc design on the back has great tension. The sound guide hole, 360 Dongdong sound logo and interface area are distributed from top to bottom. As one of the selling points of Dongdong sound, the two-way patented rear sound guide hole design achieves sound superposition through the reflection of sound in a specific direction, so as to enhance the bass and improve the sound quality. The interface area is distributed with power interfaces AUX audio input port, USB port and RESET button.

The top surface is designed with 10 touch buttons, 3 physical buttons and 1 LED indicator light. The whole panel can achieve many functions, but it is also because of many buttons, clear functions, and convenient operation. The current audio playback status and connection status can be clearly known through the two-color LED status light. The base of the stereo is labeled with a product logo, and round anti slip foot stickers are set on the four corners to prevent the stereo from sliding and reduce resonance.

Dongdong Sound has an overall dimension of 310mm * 126mm * 98mm, weighs about 2.5kg, and has a sense of weight. This is mainly due to its very special internal design. Two 3-inch 15W full band aluminum speakers have a power of up to, and a fever level CBB capacitor, The 50W two-way digital Class-D power amplifier unit, as well as the smooth design of the two-way patented rear audio guide hole, make the sound quality of Dongdong more excellent, which is not what the counterfeit products on the market can achieve. With unique appearance and functional positioning, it is suitable for placing in the living room, dining room, bedside, bookshelf and other locations, even if it is not connected to the mobile phone, Similarly, AUX input and USB flash disk can be used for direct playback, which can adapt to a wider range of scenes.

Excellent sound quality and practical functions

In addition to the sound quality, an intelligent audio has its own features in terms of functions. Now voice control has become the standard configuration of intelligent audio, and Dongdong is no exception. But from the actual experience of Dongdong, it can be found that Dongdong is not just a simple voice control, but extends the voice function to talkback, message taking and remote song ordering, As well as alert broadcast and other scenarios, we can say that we have made a step forward in the practical function of smart audio.

The audio connection is very simple. After downloading the APP, you can use 360 account to log in. At present, third-party account login is not supported. After entering the APP, you will default to the one button fast play interface. The process of adding devices is very simple. After completion, a trial music will be played, and when entering the main interface, you will be prompted to add songs to the music content of channels 1 to 6

Entering the music hall, you can see that the resources of Dongdong are very large. It is generally divided into three categories: music, radio and radio. Each category corresponds to several subcategories, and the classification is very detailed. You can search according to preferences, styles or types, select songs of interest, play them, or add them to channels. In particular, select music channels to enter the channel tags, By adding no more than 4 tags to define the type of broadcast content of the channel through customization, click the corresponding channel touch key on the panel and the audio will play the playlist of the channel intelligently. This design is still great, but the six channels are still a little less. It is recommended to add the function of double clicking the key to open more channels

A song list is another form of playing. Different from the channel, you can import your favorite local and online songs, or third-party songs, into the self built song list. Through audio playback, you can also share your own song list to the network for listening to your favorite friends, If you find a favorite song, you can add it to the Hearts song through the APP playback interface or the Hearts button for easy search and management. You can also access the audio management from the menu button on the playback interface to bind, switch AUX mode, and select EQ sound effects.

In terms of intelligent functions, Dongdong has strong practicability, which can be divided into four categories: popular scenes, love alarm, Dongdong message and smart home. Among them, popular scenes can play weather forecast and built-in reminders when someone passes by through time cycle settings and infrared sensors, and can record voice and add songs or playlists, You can set a love alarm at a specific time, play romance on various anniversaries, and Dongdong is your little assistant. You can send voice messages to the APP by pressing the voice key for a long time, and the APP can also make voice replies. No matter where you are, there is constant communication. The above three functions can be said to be special in the current smart audio products, while the smart home function, As there are few equipment that can be linked, it is not open at present, but Zhuyu is in the front, which is worth looking forward to.

The setting of Dongdong is not complicated. It can be divided into single sound setting and global setting. There are not many items that can be set, such as LED lights, sound prompt tones The EQ sound effect and status information can be operated accordingly, but the setting of EQ sound effect is only for high and low tones, and there is no comprehensive equalizer setting. The timing off function in the global setting can only set how many minutes later to turn off the sound. It is relatively simple. In fact, a timing switch function can be added, such as in a live program period, Start regularly, push messages to the mobile phone, remind listening, and close the selected device at a certain time in the evening.

When it comes to audio products, of course, the sound quality must be evaluated. This audio product has quite good configuration, which has also been confirmed in the actual experience. Through high-quality metal aluminum cone speaker units, two-way digital Class-D power amplifiers, and patented rear pilot holes, it provides guarantee for the high fidelity restoration of sound, but as for the 3-inch full band speaker, It is difficult to take into account the transient, dynamic and details. However, Dongdong is relatively balanced in terms of three frequencies, which also shows that it has made a lot of effort in tuning. Speaking of specific feelings, the most obvious feeling of Dong Dong is that the bass expression is very eye-catching. Listen to Xu Qingyuan's "The Other Shore", the deep voice, the distant and long echo. Close your eyes, it seems that you can feel the singer singing in front of you, and the emotional appeal is very strong. Listen to Wei Lan's "Morning" This song shows the sweetness and lightness of the human voice very well. The performance of various instruments does not appear messy. The singing of birds throughout the song seems to be around. Listen to Li Jian's "The People Who Love Me the Most Hurt Me the Most". The treble is pure and crisp, and the expressive force is good. Finally, I will compile Croatian Rhapsody, The performance of piano and violin is still exquisite, but the low frequency seems to cover up other frequency bands, which makes it a bit stuffy. The sound of various instruments is still orderly during the whole play, and it does not appear very tight. It better shows the characteristics of the music that is passionate and stable. For this size of intelligent sound, this performance is already very good.

summary

The front of Dongdong Smart Audio A1 uses a large area of metal carbon steel sandblasting technology network, which has strong visual impact, good hardware quality, rich audio resources, and good social functions. It is undoubtedly a very good choice for daily listening to music, but the convenience of bass is enhanced, This makes the audio sound a bit too rich when listening to the radio and broadcast. It is recommended to add more EQ options to balance. In terms of functions, two-way voice intercom, body sensing reminder, love alarm clock and other functions are very warm functions, which also greatly enhance the practicability of the product. In general, this smart audio product has good sound quality and practical functions. It is suitable for daily use.
