I like to listen to Beyond's songs, because at that time Beyond was a rare original band. What's more, their music still sounds meaningful now. I prefer to listen to old music with a strong retro sound box, which may be a feeling inside. Looking at the moment, Elvis Presley may be the only brand that can make small speakers back to the sound box style of the 1960s.
I have used two models of the Little Cat King series launched by Maoking. One is the walnut version, and the other is the OTR hippie red, which is now to be evaluated. In the previous experience of the Little Prince speaker, the woodiness is a highlight that I have repeatedly praised. Now, if it is made of metal, will the experience change? Let's take a look.
Unpacking by hand
Packaging can be said to be the user's first impression of digital products. The package attached by Elvis Presley OTR is the most satisfactory one among the nearly 100 products I have played. There are not only beautiful portable boxes, but also retro suitcases. There is also a line of words that says TO-1960S, which is a tribute to the hippies who crossed the Red Golden Gate Bridge in 1967.
At first sight, the color of Elvis Presley's little prince OTR is really sharp. Taking a sample picture in the sun can retain a lot of luster. It can be said that this product is photogenic like a beautiful woman. First, review the accessories. Open Elvis Presley's suitcase and the layout is neat. Besides the hip-hop stickers, there are two user books with high sincerity.
——————Inherit beauty and highlight texture
For me who has used the wooden version of Little Prince, the appearance of the OTR model of Little Prince is very familiar. After unpacking, I feel that there are few changes. The main reason is that the appearance and workmanship of the wooden version have won more than 90% of the users' praise, It is also the right choice for the OTR model to inherit the previous generation. There is no joint gap in the shell, which is commonly known as the integrated molding. The hippie red+radio shape makes each picture more beautiful.
It is still the smallest speaker I have ever seen, accounting for only about 4/1 of my book. The 88 * 61 * 49 size can be put into my forearm bag after trial. The portable is relatively high, which conforms to the positioning of portable FM Bluetooth speakers.
The touch of Elvis Presley OTR is very close to the car paint, so you can wipe it with ash. The highlight of this generation is mainly metal materials, with a net weight of 450g, about the weight of a bottle of mineral water, which is sufficient.
The official introduction mentioned seamless connection, which was confirmed after seeing the top and side. The previous generation of wood grain has three lines to add natural lines, while this generation uses smooth metal instead. The seamless design is indeed more symmetrical with the metal material.
It is a good thing to carry out the retro aesthetics in the end. The three knobs are defined as dial tuning knob, volume and mode knob. There is no button on it. All operations are the same as those of the old speakers in the 1960s. The application of metal materials makes the knob spray gold.
The Little Prince is a line of English next to Elvis Presley's logo, that is, the logo of "Little Prince", and a function indicator light is beside it. This picture was taken at noon. It seems that the brightness of the mode degree is quite high.
The back of the Little Prince OTR is very clean in the sun, which is much better than the previous materials. The right side is the inverted hole, and the left side is the USB/AUX interface. The most interesting thing is that the Little Prince OTR has improved the traditional design of the external antenna of the radio. Now it's time to turn on the switch, which is the antenna, and can increase the radio signal. The inverted phase hole is very helpful for low-frequency performance. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
——————Talk about functions and usage scenarios
In fact, the appearance of the OTR version is the most eye-catching, but of course, the purchase of the product is not just for the sake of appearance. The Elvis Presley OTR has 87 Hz to 107 Hz fm radio reception, and the reception is normal in urban villages.
It has Bluetooth broadcast and AUX broadcast functions that young people need more. It provides AUX cable. It is loud enough when chasing TV dramas, and occasionally takes it out when working in a coffee shop with a laptop to make others envy.
From the perspective of function experience, the functions of Elvis Presley's OTR are not very rich, but the integration of AUX and Bluetooth has been adapted to the current mobile phone, computer, electric and other playback devices. The better thing is that it is not difficult to operate.
——————This machine, sound quality performance
To experience the OTR of Elvis Presley, I chose two Beyond masterpieces, Brilliant Years and Broad Sky. The sound quality performance is close to that of my previous 500 yuan speaker. The instrument sound is crisp, the voice is clear enough, and the music debugging is stable+warm, which may be because it is positioned as a retro speaker. The performance of playing music also has a retro beat.
The founder, Mr. Zeng Dejun, is one of the pioneers of Hi Fi audio in China. His experience in sound effect regulation is sufficient. The outstanding performance of Elvis Presley OTR is its clear voice.
epilogue
I secretly read the OTR product reviews of Little Prince Cat Wang, and found three keywords "adequate weight, nostalgia and satisfaction". In my opinion, this speaker really meets these points. Of course, if I want to give something to friends now, it must be the first choice. It is packed with a heavy texture. The sound quality is about the same as that of the speakers on the market for about 500-300 yuan. In short, I think the cost performance is very high.
