[Introduction]

Over the years, smart phones and tablet computers have developed rapidly, and their super performance and rich expansion capabilities have amazed consumers. However, due to the size, there is no good solution for the speakers of these products. Consumers urgently need peripheral Bluetooth speakers to meet the auditory feeling. If there is a speaker, it will not only be comfortable to listen but also feast the eyes on, Would you be tempted? It is the Mars maglev speaker from "Crazy Boy Technology".

When it comes to the magnetic levitation technology, I believe you will hear most about the magnetic levitation train, which is a very complex technology. At present, the basic principle of the magnetic levitation technology is to use the interaction between the eddy current generated by the high-frequency electromagnetic field on the metal surface and the external magnetic field. In short, it is to achieve the balance of magnetic force and gravity through complex structures.

[Unpacking]

Mars by crazybaby It is a star project of Indiegogo, a foreign crowdfunding platform, which has received more than 4000 geeks' support and $820000 of crowdfunding funds from all over the world. It is said that this number ranks third in Indiegogo's global audio projects and tops the list of project support in China. To my surprise, Yuquan has also invested in this product and has exclusive customized products, This is my absolute idol in high school《 》、《 》It was also the most popular song on campus radio at that time. Ha ha, I accidentally exposed my age...

It is a great honor for the author to get the affirmation of Lei Feng's trial of a careful experience plan. One rainy day, he received a package he has been longing for for a long time. It is really a big one, and the table lamp beside him has become a small man.

Mars The maglev speakers are packed in two layers. At the first sight of opening the outermost package, you can see the suspended sound generating unit - flying saucer. The size of flying saucer is not large. The size of the flying saucer is just right, the weight is moderate, and the independent battery is built in, which can be soaked and waterproof, so it can be used as a portable outdoor audio.

I couldn't wait to take out the base of the subwoofer and put on the UFO. At this time, the owner of the cafe came up to me and asked me what it was? The author smiled but did not answer, turned on the power supply, the UFO slowly rose, and the boss was shocked... Ha ha, so I had to take some group photos for him...

So everyone in the cafe came to take photos, take videos and send out friends...

[Appearance&Details]

Mars The magnetic suspension speaker is composed of Craft and Base. The large area of the box is made of aviation grade aluminum alloy and adopts the anode oxidation process. I believe you have seen these process terms in the introduction of Apple mobile phones, so this speaker is nearly 4kg in total, and it is understood that the manufacturing cost is high.

Crazybaby Founder Allen Zhang, a designer, has his own understanding of fashion and fashion. Simple but not simple is the most successful design. So we can't find any fancy elements on the box, and LOGO is the only eye-catching design.

Mars It is a speaker with a very pure definition. Except that Bluetooth connection does not provide any other audio interface, other parts only have the power indicator, USB charging port, switch key and charging interface. What puzzles the author is why such a simple design should reserve two external charging interfaces to facilitate phone charging when listening to music? In fact, it is more practical to add an AUX interface.

The flying saucer is equipped with 1.75-inch full frequency speaker, Bluetooth, high sensitivity microphone, battery and maglev module, and CSR aptX ™ It is hard to imagine that all these things are "stuffed" in a sealed waterproof cavity less than 4cm high. The stability of suspension should also be considered to ensure the balance of weight. The high level of industrial design is admirable.

The bottom of the UFO is coated with skin like material, and a positioning groove is designed in the middle for positioning with the base.

As mentioned above, UFOs can be used independently as portable outdoor audio. Another important reason is the strong magnetic adsorption design. As long as there are metal objects, UFOs can "land" everywhere.

Base At the top of the base is the "parking area" of the flying saucer. The built-in patented magnetic suspension and charging module provides sufficient "logistics" support for the flying saucer. After takeoff, the "takeoff and landing indicator" will also light up, which is full of science fiction.

It is very considerate that the black rubber ring on the periphery can provide protection for the accidental "landing" of the UFO, and the details are very considerate.

A 3.75-inch woofer and a 4000mAH battery are installed in the base handstand. The padded and hollowed out bottom design facilitates sound diffusion and heat dissipation of internal components.

[Operation&Experience]

When using, first turn on the UFO power supply, and then there will be a power on sound effect. Then long press the power button to connect Bluetooth when the light band is always on.

Turn on the power supply of the base, and the UFO slowly rises, The suspension height is about 2cm, and it can be suspended for 6 hours. When the power is not enough, the UFO will slowly land and automatically charge through the wireless charging module. After about 4 hours of listening in one afternoon, there are still two grids left, and the endurance is in line with the official data.

Mars The magnetic suspension structure of the 362g flying saucer is set on the base. Through the complex structure, the 362g flying saucer can be stably suspended, and the stability and safety of operation can be guaranteed. From the above experience video, we can see that the suspension stability is excellent. There is no problem with mild touch and compression, and even accidental instability can be adequately protected.

In order to increase the sense of vision, the light strip will rotate like a ranger light when flying, and the number of light strips can be customized through the APP, which will be explained in detail when the APP is introduced later.

Application Scenario

Be a beautiful man in the room quietly, pour a cup of coffee, watch the rain falling outside, open the speaker to some ethereal music, I think Mars is more suitable for music in rainy days!

When we go outdoors, we really deserve the name "Crazy Boy". The magnetic fixing design allows the UFO to be fixed on any metal at will, even small metals, such as steel screws on bicycles, can be firmly fixed. At the same time, the waterproof property of IPX7 allows us to be a real Crazy Boy and indulge in music!

[Hearing experience]

The biggest feature of this speaker is the design of suspended flying saucer, but the combination of waterproof performance and flying saucer is the perfect match, so there is a unique "water ballet" on the flying saucer. It is recommended to open the speaker when watching, and watch the water dancing with the drums, which gives you a unique feeling.

Looking at the essence after being amazing, structurally speaking, when used in combination, the UFO is responsible for medium and high audio, the base subwoofer provides bass support, and dual unit frequency division processing. The suspension design makes the UFO always in the air, and the resonance between the box and the contact object can be completely avoided. The overall hearing will make the voice very clean and long.

In terms of Mars' performance of middle and low frequencies, the author can't help thinking of a song "Little Baby" played in summer. This song is mainly percussion music, accompanied by a unique chorus melody, which can well identify the performance of middle and low frequencies. Sure enough, thanks to the independent bass unit design, Mars' low frequency sense and dive depth performance are commendable, perhaps as a foil for low frequency, which is also quite good for the restoration of human voice. Listening to such songs with Mars is really a pleasure.

After listening to Yao Beina and Eason Chan, two representative male and female voices, we found that Mars is really a box that is very good at popular music. The three frequencies are relatively balanced, and the resolution is also quite good. At medium and small volumes, the details are explained very clearly, while at high volumes, there is no burr.

As the saying goes, the sound box that focuses on music tuning will not perform well in movie watching and games. The author can't help watching the movie with this box for a while. You should be able to guess the ending. The sound field width and stereoscopic sense are really not up to the mark. I can only regret that there are no two Mars to combine 2.1 channels, otherwise I believe its performance will be much better, It also adds application scenarios.

[APP experience]

Mars In fact, the app only provides some personalized settings, which can be used even if it is not installed.

But it will be fun with the APP speaker, such as controlling the flying saucer lift, the number of light strips, the brightness of light strips EQ、 Automatic volume, double combination, etc.

The author thinks that the more interesting is the automatic volume function, which automatically adjusts the volume according to the distance between the mobile terminal and the speaker, so that the music will not change too much during walking.

Summary

There is no doubt that the Mars Maglev Speaker of Crazy Boy Technology is quite successful. It not only satisfies our increasingly "greedy" ears, but also gives us a stunning visual experience. Maglev UFOs are not only fun, but also fundamentally eliminate other vibrations except air. The sound is also cleaner and pure. However, can the price of 1999 yuan be accepted by high-end users in China, The author believes that a certain amount of user reputation is needed.
