360 ° "Emperors"—— Libratone TOO bird speaker experience
360 ° "Emperors"—— Libratone TOO bird speaker experience

Foreword: from Denmark, positioning high-end

——————————————
Libratone, founded in 2009, is a Danish brand focusing on the production of wireless music equipment. Its product positioning is high-end. Its logo is the image of a "nightingale", which originates from the fairy tale story of Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish fairy tale king. It also has a very vivid Chinese name "Bird Sound". Libratone speakers like to use bright solid colors, take a youthful and energetic route, have extremely exquisite design and materials, and constantly pursue perfection in listening experience, so they have accumulated good reputation. The new Libratone TOO Bluetooth portable audio, priced at 899, will bring us any surprises. Messi will tell you the answer.


Appearance: extremely simple and delicate, which is very small

—————————————————————
Bird TOO series, the outer package is cylindrical, and the white+green color is very fresh.

The TOO series is connected through Bluetooth, USB and 3.5mm audio port, and has no WIFI connection function of other Zipp series.

Open the package, you can see that the bird TOO is placed in it. The shape of the package box and the stereo is unified. Messi gets aqua, cherry red, black and other options.

In addition to the bird TOO audio, it also comes with a manual, Micro USB charging cable.

The overall color of the bird TOO is very same. All materials, whether rubber or cloth, are highly uniform in color. It's very simple, and it's a bird.

The top is made of smooth rubber, which has a fine touch and no color difference. There is only one power on button on the surface, without any extra buttons. All controls and displays are hidden in the "Nightingale" icon, which is very interesting.


The middle part is crystal mesh, which is comfortable to touch. Although the waterproof level of the whole machine also reaches IPX4 (splash proof), it seems that the TOO series can not replace the mesh shell, which is easy to be stained with oil. Please pay attention to use and care.

There is also hidden under the right handle: Micro USB charging port and 3.5mm audio socket. After being covered, the overall sense of consistency is very strong, and the official promotion can last up to 12 hours.


The bottom is a large area of rib rubber bottom, which is anti-skid and beautiful. At the same time, the color is green, which is consistent with the whole machine in color.

Small details: soft rubber handle with internal rib

On the small handle, the bird did not slack off. It adopted the double-sided design of the outer smooth surface and the inner horizontal grain. While maintaining the unity of the texture of the handle and the sound surface, it also increased the friction of the handle to control the small details in place.

The whole machine is only one palm long and weighs only 508g, which is equivalent to the weight of a bottle of 500ML mineral water. It should not cause special burden whether you carry it or put it in your bag.

Summary:
From the bird audio TOO, messi can still see the designer's pursuit of high quality in product design and materials. The overall design is made of rubber, cloth and rubber. Each layer, including the handle, maintains the same color. The only physical key for power on and the hidden charging port make the bird TOO feel very strong. It is most appropriate to use "simple but not simple" to describe the bird TOO. However, in the current industrial fashion, the bird TOO has personality and temperature.

Control experience: APP is practical and touch is interesting

————————————————————————————————

The bird TOO machine only has one switch entity key, and there is no conventional touch marker on the surface. Messi was very curious about how to operate without APP when he got hold of it. Later, he found that the original mystery was hidden in the "Nightingale" icon. The "Nightingale" icon is not only a breath lamp to display LOGO, but also a touch screen. This design makes my eyes shine.

 

Tap in the middle=pause/play; Slide clockwise=increase the volume; Sliding counterclockwise=reduce the volume, high sensitivity, sometimes false touch, very interesting actual control.

 

At the same time, the operations on the APP can be synchronously displayed on the touch panel of Bird.

 

Libratone TOO supports Bluetooth 4.1 connection. The measured connection capacity is very fast, only 1-2 seconds. It also supports Bluetooth hands-free call. Libratone TOO also supports the connection of one audio to two mobile phones at the same time. However, the operation cannot be carried out at the same time, and it needs to be carried out one by one.

After the Libratone APP is installed, the Bluetooth connection is carried out. The operation interface is only one page, and other items are hidden under the secondary menu. It is very simple, but the lack of wifi connection function is a pity.

The middle is the main control area for volume adjustment and playback buttons, and the lower row is the setting button. Click the corresponding icon to call out the secondary menu, but the selection in the "Nightingale" icon in the upper right corner is a bit deep and not direct enough.

Built in 3 radio stations: Douban FM and Himalayan FM can listen to music online, and network radio stations can search and add other stations at the same time.

In addition to the standard mode, there are 8 listening styles to choose from, and the applicability is good.

Bird also has sound quality black technology?

—————————————————
It is unrealistic to sell 899 only by its appearance design and control. After all, the sound system should be listened to. The technology and sound quality of natural music should not be poor. From the official website of Bird portable audio, we can learn that Bird has two important audio technologies. Among them, the patent of "FullRoom ring sound technology" is the killer of Bird. What is the magic and whether it is so mysterious? Let's explore it together.

Black technology: FullRoom ring sound technology, 360 ° "emperor"

The treble has obvious directivity, while the bass has no obvious directivity. The traditional treble sound waves can only be pushed in the same direction. Users need to tune and fix in the "best listening area" to get a high-quality hearing experience. Libratone's patent: FullRoom ring sound technology can enable you to hear good sound from every angle in the room.

Is there really 360 ° surround sound that Messi has measured?

Test tool: Sabin head recording microphone
Test item: sound directivity
Test object: A audio (other brand), bird TOO audio
Test method: rotate the sound 90 ° every 30 seconds to change the position, and the binaural sound changes.
ps: It is better to listen with headphones.

Through the above comparison, Messi found that the sound source of A audio shifted significantly from the front to the front left when changing the direction, while the sound direction of the bird TOO shifted at the moment of turning every time when changing the direction. When it stabilized, the sound source returned to the front position, and the sound volume heard by the left and right ears was very average. There was no obvious deviation, and it was still the same after many changes.

So Messi's conclusion is that the bird really has 360 ° ring sound effect, and the sound effect from all angles is excellent.

About sound quality: high standard

————————————————
Personal experience: "Balanced mode" bird sound three frequencies are relatively balanced, suitable for listening to popular songs. At the same time, if you feel that the effect of a certain frequency band is not enough in "Balanced mode", you can choose other eight modes to improve, which is very human.

Balance Mode

Treble: good sense of extension, very clear voice;
Alto: more prominent, especially when listening to voice, full and delicate, feeling very comfortable;
Bass: the bass is slightly less vigorous, and the diving depth is relatively ordinary

In fact, the portability of Bluetooth portable audio and Bluetooth wireless connection are the biggest advantages, which can not be replaced by indoor audio. The sound quality of Bird TOO is believed to meet the listening needs of most people.


Endurance: long enough

——————————————

Officially, the endurance is 12 hours. As far as the actual experience of Messi in the past week is concerned, it takes 1-2 hours to listen every day. In general, it also takes 10 hours. The bird TOO still has power, which shows that its endurance is really long enough. Generally, it is carried outdoors to meet the needs of a day. There is no major problem.


Summarize the bird TOO sound

—————————————————
advantage:
Extremely simple style, high appearance, outstanding detail control
Exquisite materials and excellent workmanship
Support Bluetooth 4.1, fast connection
Interesting touch and high sensitivity
FullRoom ring sound effect is excellent
Excellent sound quality

Disadvantages:
Wifi connection is not supported
Care of mesh

The bird stereo from northern Europe has a unique style. You can distinguish it at a glance. Everything is based on minimalism, but at the same time, it has a pursuit of details. It is very fresh and warm, which is my feeling for it. Although the sound quality of a portable audio system cannot be compared with that of an indoor big audio system, the pursuit of sound quality is also essential. As a black technology of bird sound quality, the patented technology of "FullRoom Ring Sound" has really improved greatly compared with ordinary audio systems. If you want to buy a Bluetooth portable audio with strong design and high quality, and can accept its price and small shortcomings, Bird TOO is a good choice.
