Music plays a very important role in life, just like people need to use language to communicate with others. Music can adjust the tense and monotonous life, relax people's nerves and be beneficial to health. Music can give people pleasure in hearing, purify people's soul, and make people's spirit enjoy a high degree. Music can also help you get rid of sadness and sadness and free you from pain. In medicine, music is also used to assist in the treatment of diseases, which can achieve the effect that drugs cannot achieve.

The prenatal education music makes my 10 month old daughter love music as much as I do. However, an ambulance's "B Bu B Bu" sound flashed downstairs, and she also played with the rhythm.

Appearance and workmanship

Xiaofei's 165x165x121mm height and 320 degree large-area metal filter cover make it difficult for users to understand the composition and orientation of its sound unit from the appearance, but the overall appearance has improved a lot.

The audio input modes supported by this product are "voice search, WiFi cloud service, Bluetooth and AUX wired input", which are basically possessed by our cognitive smart audio. "voice search and WiFi cloud service" is the highlight of business promotion.

Philips PHILIPS brand is no stranger to Chinese consumers. Its good reputation and design philosophy shape its unique charm. This PHILIPS shaver gives me a good experience. Philips is the world's leading innovator of home electronic products, and has always been in a leading position in the domestic brand reputation in the early days. I believe that many people have used Philips audio-visual products (such as the Philips TV set behind), and have unique brand charm from design to research and development, from technology to concept.

The key settings are simple and clear, the layout is reasonable, and the icons and function identifications are easy to understand. However, the key gaps are uneven (especially the bar volume+- keys), the key stroke is short, and the feedback force is small.

The four surrounding rubber feet at the bottom can bring excellent smooth anti slip performance and prevent the wooden desktop from resonating well.

Back keys and interfaces are: 1. SETUP distribution key, 2. RESET factory setting key, 3. AUX IN audio input port, 4. DC IN power interface.

The round hole in the middle of the back is the convection hole for the sound bass vibration to push the air.

All parts of the small aircraft body except the metal filter screen are made of white plastic, and the weight is 1.7Kg. There is a 2.5 inch LED blue screen on the top, which can visually display the broadcast content and operation status. Above the screen is Philips LOGO - "PHIPS".

At the bottom of the screen are eight entity keys, namely:

1. Collection, 2. Previous song, 3. Play/pause, 4. Next song, 5. Voice search, 6. A+key (for switching App channels), 7. Volume increase/decrease, 8. Bluetooth connection.

On the whole, Xiaofei's workmanship is good. As an active home stereo, it is still beautiful and classy at home. But the way that the base is only designed for appearance is not very suitable for me. To put it bluntly, the base is just a plastic mold shell with the shape of a robot body. It can place a square sound on the top. It has no effect except for the appearance.

Can the manufacturer consider:

1. The base is designed as a robot body that can swing its arms and turn its head according to the music rhythm (the two parts of the base can be manually operated).

2. The base is designed as a bass expansion unit (to complement the short board), and a touch contact point is designed at the bottom of the audio system and the top of the base.

3. The base is designed as a 12V rechargeable power supply base, which can charge the power supply base when the power supply is connected at ordinary times, and the audio can also work for 4-8 hours when the power supply is unplugged. Xiaofei's portability and practicability will be greatly improved, and it is not necessary to always find a suitable plug-in location for use.

If only for the sake of the base, few consumers will be willing to pay for the base that costs only 99 yuan but needs to be sold for 900 yuan.

The price of Xiaofei, an official flagship store of Philips, is 799, and the base is 1699, so the price of such a base is 900. In Alibaba Smart App, Xiaofei sells for 599 yuan.

Xiaofei Smart Cloud Speaker is the product of the cooperation between Philips and Alibaba Smart @ Alibaba. Alibaba Group has a good level in the development of intelligent front-end systems, while Philips has more than 100 years of experience in the audio field. Let's continue to see how their combination will produce chemical reactions with Vitas.

􀁺 Sound quality 〗

Whether it's a Wifi cloud speaker, a smart Bluetooth speaker, or a speaker, the sound quality is the ultimate factor to measure them. The performance of high, middle and low frequency is directly related to our sense of hearing, and also directly related to the value of the money spent by users.

Next, Vitas will experience the sound quality of Xiaofei Electric Python through several pieces of high, middle and low frequency music:

The low-frequency test song "Anasazi Stardance" is the opening song of the album "Killer Drum" and the legendary test song of the enthusiast. At the beginning of the music, the sound of the drum beat was clear and clear, but the bass did not bring a more vigorous and elastic sense of hearing. More details were lost on the low-frequency, and the low-frequency diving was not deep enough. The four rubber fulcrums at the bottom can form a certain resonance with the wooden desktop, but as a Xiaofei sound with the words Philips PHILIPS, the low-frequency realization did not meet the expectations (see video recording for details).

Intermediate frequency test song "Yesenia" - singer Zhao Peng. Zhao Peng belongs to a bass singer. His voice belongs to the mid-range frequency within the sound range of the speaker. The male voice part of the songs I heard was thick and appealing, with strong penetration and good performance.

High frequency test "Audio Demonstration of Triangle". When you hear the striking triangle iron, you can send out a clear metal knocking sound. The overtones after striking belong to high frequency and ultra-high frequency, clear and transparent. (such as video recording below).

High frequency and analytical power test One Cool Remove, the first sound of the music can be heard with exquisite, long and analytical "cymbal" sound, and the ending sound is rich, reflecting a more detailed and transparent high frequency, which is not bad. However, the high frequency performance is normal. The volume is set at 20% or so so as not to affect the speech. It is soft, comfortable and comfortable. The household is placed in the bedroom and living room to create a warm and elegant atmosphere.

According to the test, Xiaofei's high and intermediate frequency performance is good, meticulous and appealing, the stereo sound field is rendered in place, and the low frequency performance is not very satisfactory, so Xiaofei is more suitable for songs like "Things You Don't Know". For a household active Philips speaker, its performance in terms of sound quality is slightly disappointing.

􀁺 Use scenarios 〗

Since Xiaofei has no built-in power supply, it can only work with less than 2 meters of AC 220V transformer DC 12V power adapter plugged in, which reduces Xiaofei's singing occasions. The manufacturer positions this audio system as a home.

Through mobile app, it is easy to connect the audio with the WIFI at home, and complete the three steps of downloading software, scanning code and entering password.

In addition to the highlights of voice song search advertised by businesses, music in mobile phones can also be played through AUX IN audio input and Bluetooth connection.

When cooking, it can be put in the kitchen. Cooking is no longer boring. However, due to the power problem, Xiaofei has to use the huge transformer module and the rice cooker/microwave oven to grab the socket.

When taking a bath, you can let Xiaofei play whatever you want to hear. However, no matter whether there is a base or not, it needs to be plugged in. If the bathroom cannot find a suitable location for plugging in and placing the stereo (the stereo cannot be placed on the ground when bathing), it has to give up.

It's good to have a glass of red wine on the weekend afternoon to see what you want to see and listen to what you want to hear.

Since Xiaofei cannot bring its own power supply, the use scene is limited, so it can only sit quietly on the table in the living room.

Intelligent and voice song searching

App functions are divided into five sections: music radio, column subscription, music collection, casual listening and My radio. Each section can select and experience different audio types according to daily needs for the required audio audio-visual options.

In Alibaba Smart App, under the main page of Philips Xiaofei Smart Cloud Speaker, the last column is the "Synchronize Music Account" option. Click in to see two account synchronization options, 1. Xiami; 2. Douban will be synchronized to Xiami account after default installation. When clicking Douban, you need to log in to Douban account to use it normally.

When you open the AliSmart App software on the mobile phone, you will see the following three pages when you use it for the first time. This is the introduction of AliSmart's cloud functions. The powerful cloud data linkage, flexible control system, and interactive applications of smart terminal home appliance systems will add more interesting experience to every drop of life.

In any state of the AliSmart mode of Philips Xiaofei smart cloud speakers, press and hold the voice key on the speaker panel to say the audio content you want to hear, such as the name of the singer, the name of the song, crosstalk skits, radio stations, etc. After speaking, let go of silence, and the LCD on the panel will automatically search for matching content, and only five audio content can be found at most, The audio content ranking first will be played first.

It should be noted here that the user needs to go to the audio and press the voice button to perform voice search. I prefer to use Bluetooth and pull out my mobile phone to perform accurate search faster.

Can the manufacturer consider:

For the convenience of users, use voice wake-up to enter the voice search mode, and do not need to change songs and then go to the audio to press. In 2014, the Xiaozhi Audio experienced by Vitas has been able to achieve voice wake-up.

Actually, when pressing the voice button to search for "Jay Chou's songs", only two songs can be found, "Black Humor" and "Hard to earn money", showing Xiami music, the singer Jay Chou, but the only two songs found were not sung by Jay Chou.

On the whole, there are many things that need to be improved for Xiaofei Audio, such as improving the use and functions of the base, improving the low-frequency sound quality, enhancing the wake-up search function and the song library, so that users will not only pay for the feelings printed with PHILIPS Logo and Alibaba Intelligence.

Expect the manufacturer to launch better products! Please forgive me for any shortcomings.
