The older generation likes to call radios "semiconductors". As the only household appliance in China in the late 1950s, the only household appliance with three turns and one sound carries the memory of several generations. Nowadays, TV, computer, mobile phone and tablet have become the most important entertainment equipment for people. Radio seems to have withdrawn from the historical stage and gradually faded out of people's vision. However, if radio is combined with Bluetooth speakers, can it meet the needs of the times and let the radio enter people's homes again? It's an honor to be here Love to play computer games We got the experience plan of Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus. As a combined product of radio and Bluetooth speakers, what are its characteristics?

Small size and exquisite appearance

Xiaomi's audio equipment products have always adopted a more sophisticated design. Most of the products are packaged in white paper shells, with the product appearance printed on the front. The outer plastic packaging ensures that the transportation will not be damaged. The previous generation of Xiaomi's network radio and Xiaomi's music alarm clock are both of this packaging design.

The product related information on the back is also quite detailed. You can directly know the manufacturer, model, power, battery capacity and other information of the product.

After the drawer type packaging box is opened, the enhanced version of Xiaomi Internet Radio is available. As a single sound generating unit, the front is the whole sound generating part.

In addition to the Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus host, there is also a charging line and a manual in the box.

When the machine body is taken out, there is still a plastic packaging. The secondary packaging can better protect the product. Especially for electronic products, moisture-proof and anti-collision during transportation are very necessary.

A small sticker printed with the words "Volume Touch Area" can be seen on the upper part of the molded body. The volume control of Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus adopts touch control design, which is more convenient than the operation of physical keys.

In the upper right corner of the fuselage, there is a button that can be moved. It is the only physical function button of Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus. Switch key, mode switch, radio switch and music switch are all realized through this button.

When the plastic package is removed, the surface of the fuselage is very smooth and comfortable to handle. The fuselage is small and can be held by one hand.

The millet logo is printed in the middle of the back of the fuselage, and the power indicator, charging socket and reset socket are below.

The rubber pad at the bottom can play a stabilizing role when the body is placed. Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus is very convenient as a small speaker.

Simple operation, rich resources

Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus has two modes: Wifi and Bluetooth. Press the function key to turn on the phone during use, and then press the function key up or down to switch back and forth between the two modes. Because there is no reference other than the power indicator, Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus uses voice prompts to let users know the current usage mode directly.

Unlike the traditional radio, which needs FM and other operations to listen to the radio, the enhanced version of Xiaomi Internet Radio needs to select the wifi mode and connect to the network to realize the radio function. Here, you need to download the special software of Xiaomi Smart Ecological Chain: Mijia APP. Users can directly search the application market or scan the QR code on the manual to download, and then enter the main interface after installation, Click the plus sign in the upper right corner to enter the device addition function. If you see the product name later, you can directly click Add or search the device name to add it.

The back indicator flashes yellow when searching for connection. If the connection cannot be made, you can restore the Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus to the factory settings through the reset hole.

In Bluetooth search status, connection status and charging status, the indicator lights will appear in green, blue and yellow respectively. However, it is troublesome to place the indicator lights at the rear of the body.

It is worth noting that Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus does not support 5G networks, nor does it support wifi networks with Chinese characters. Personally, it is still troublesome to use.

After the connection is successful, there are many functions to choose from. Click Xiaomi Internet Radio in Mi's home to view various radio station selections and other audio selection functions.

All the radio stations in the APP are broadcast through the network, so the sound quality is the best. Compared with the traditional radio, the enhanced version of Xiaomi Internet Radio is obviously more convenient. Music or other playing resources are also very comprehensive, and users can choose their favorite content to play.

Although Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus is not an alarm clock, it also has functions in the brain. Users can operate it through the menu bar in the upper right corner, but the alarm clock function can only be used after the power is connected and the settings are completed. Other functions in the function bar are also very rich. Users can set various functions according to their own needs, and can also set various functions of Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus.

When used separately from the phone, pause/play, volume increase/decrease can be performed through the touch control area on the top of the phone, and the response is very sensitive.

In the scene of going out or without wifi, Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus can also play applications in the phone directly through Bluetooth connection, just like ordinary Bluetooth speakers.

Experience summary

For this enhanced version of Xiaomi Internet Radio, I feel that the design is very good, and the product features and resources are also very rich, especially various radio stations, music, crosstalk are the most popular content of the public. In addition, as a Xiaomi ecological chain product, because most Xiaomi users already have a necessary APP in their mobile phones, the installation of the APP can be omitted when using Xiaomi Internet Radio. Although this product is called a radio, it is also an audio playback device, and the sound quality is very good, especially when directly connecting to Bluetooth to play music, Because it can be used independently from the mobile phone, it can also save a lot of operation steps. Of course, there are still many aspects of the product that need to be improved. For example, the wireless network with Chinese characters in the name cannot be connected, and the 5G network cannot be connected. It should be clear that the 5G network is the trend of the times, so we hope to make some improvements in this regard.

In general, as a smart radio, Xiaomi Internet Radio Plus has many functions, such as network radio broadcast, Bluetooth speaker, alarm clock, etc. It is a very good device with beautiful appearance and simple operation, and is worth starting with for the vast number of rice noodles.

Finally, as usual, I would like to thank all the friends who have helped with the strategy in this trial, and all the readers who have seen the end of the story. Thank you, everyone. I look forward to the opportunity to participate in more activities of Iooko, and I wish Iooko better and better.
