The development of multimedia speakers in recent years has always been through a spindle - wireless, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other wireless technologies are widely used in more and more new speakers. If Bluetooth was outshining in the early days of multimedia speaker wirelessization, we have discovered that Wi-Fi technology has appeared on many new products in the last year or two. And unlike Bluetooth's relatively simple wireless features, the Wi-Fi "wings" are often tied to the "smart", which is currently the hottest word on all IT products. In addition to traditional multimedia speaker manufacturers, internationally renowned brands and new brands with Internet genes have also joined this battle, making the Wi-Fi speaker market an unprecedented lively situation.
Today, we come to our readers to sort out the current status of the Wi-Fi speaker market, and to experience new products that are currently on the market, as well as representative hot products in the segment segment. Finally, we will recommend appropriate Wi-Fi products for consumers with different needs. -Fi speakers.
The traditional 2.0, 2.1 wired multimedia speakers are the future of the market. Most products on the market are old products. Most manufacturers have stopped updating these products. On the other hand, wireless speakers are flourishing, and different types of products are faced with different requirements for consumers. Currently, the main technologies used in wireless speakers are Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The former has more extensive applications, but "Microcomputer" is more important to the application of Wi-Fi technology in multimedia speakers, and also believes that it can really give The wirelessization of speakers brings more possibilities. Why?
Technical advantages bring more playability This is because Wi-Fi technology has more advantages than Bluetooth, summing up several major advantages. First of all, Wi-Fi technology has a higher transmission bandwidth, can better guarantee the wireless playback of high-quality lossless music, is conducive to network music applications to provide users with a better experience; secondly, it has an independent Internet access, can use without external In the case of an input source, network resources are played through built-in functions; in the end, it can be networked and a convenient and controlled music playback system is built.
The higher transmission bandwidth is not elaborated, which is the difference between the two in essence. In addition, Wi-Fi speakers can be played back and controlled with the convenience of Wi-Fi signals, and the latest Bluetooth. The effective range of technology is only 10 meters, and it is more susceptible to obstacles such as walls. In terms of independence, from the standpoint of wireless playback alone, Bluetooth speakers must be used with an external input source, and Wi-Fi speakers work more:
One is that you can directly access the Internet through a wireless router to play content resources in a built-in application. The second is to control content playback through apps accessed on smart devices in the same wireless network. And compared to Bluetooth point-to-point transmission, Wi-Fi technology can help users achieve "one-to-many" playback on speakers. Users can use the App on the smart device to control speakers in various places in the house to play different music, which is more suitable for use in the home environment to meet the different playing and listening needs of users.
Intelligent platform to promote the development of Wi-Fi speakers If the technical differences make Wi-Fi speakers have more playability than Bluetooth speakers, then the addition of smart platforms will even make Wi-Fi speakers even more powerful. As the concept of smart homes has grown stronger in recent years, consumers have gradually felt the convenience brought by the smart, and Wi-Fi speakers as one of the entrances to smart homes have entered the popularity stage in advance. This makes the Wi-Fi speaker is no longer a simple product through the Airplay or DLNA push resources, but based on speaker self-play, access to online music service providers. Under this premise, Wi-Fi speakers are no longer just a hardware product, but need to be linked from multiple perspectives, such as hardware, software, intelligent platforms, and music service providers.
In the past two years, many Wi-Fi speaker brands and new products have emerged. We have found that they basically use the smart way of cooperation with Handan and Ali. These products will be based on the smart platform of both, through the platform to integrate hardware, software, and content. In addition to the integration of resources, the smart platform's intervention to bring Wi-Fi speakers to another notable feature is voice interaction and intelligent control. For instance, the cooperation between JD.com and HKUST's XFee makes it easy for companies using their intelligent platforms to produce products with intelligent voice capabilities. Alibaba Intelligence, relying on its accumulation on YunOS, applied it to the smart home field.
In other words, Wi-Fi speakers will develop in the direction of smart speakers in the future, and with the popularity of these smart platforms in various home appliances, more and more Wi-Fi speakers will not only be able to play. Music can also control other smart home appliances in the home through voice.
â–²Wi-Fi technology can make the speaker free from the limitations of input devices and become a device that can independently obtain content resources.
It can be seen that in the Wi-Fi speaker market, there are already some products for segmentation according to their forms and platforms. Therefore, in this special topic, MC deliberately collected Wi-Fi speakers with different forms and solutions, hoping to try out them one by one to see how these different products can bring users experience in use. For consumers to provide useful reference when purchasing. Since the focus of this experience and the hope of presenting the performance of these products in Wi-Fi related applications, other functions will not be fully introduced, and the sound quality will not have an in-depth analysis of each product.

Unlike the Wi-Fi speakers I used to experience in the past, I couldn't even find the speaker unit size, frequency range, and so many audio specifications in the official data. It was positioned in the smart speaker and even had Another name is "music robot." This is the DingDong smart speaker, model number LLSS-A001.
The LLSS-A001 uses an approximately cylindrical body design. The large area of ​​the metal mesh cover is of good texture and offers three colors of red, white and black for consumers to choose. At the top, all the control buttons are centralized. When the camera is turned on, it will turn on the light. It will change according to the use situation. The central key is the control core. The main function is to connect and switch different modes. The second is to enable voice search and control functions. In addition to this physical key, the keys around it are all touch-sensitive designs, including volume adjustment, song switching, and hibernation. The physical button operation feels good, crisp texture, touch keys have a good sensitivity, smooth operation, in place.
To connect LLSS-A001 to the network, first set up to use a mobile phone. After installing the app on the mobile phone and turning on the networking function by pressing the å®å’š button, the speaker will have a voice prompt. At the same time, the App will also display text and dynamic picture prompts. The connection process is not complicated. Its App is rich in functionality. The home page includes voice commands, application platforms, smart homes, alarm clock reminders, and speaker settings. The functions and games that can be implemented are richer than other Wi-Fi speakers. The "Discovery" section can see various content resources and cooperate with Baidu Music and Himalayan. The biggest feature of the LLSS-A001 is still its voice control. It is reported that there are a total of 8 microphones inside the speaker, which can distinguish the voices in different directions.
I actually experienced it. It can not only achieve the normal functions of searching songs/radio stations, controlling music playing, but also can report time, broadcast news, weather, and even jokes. With access to JD Micro, LLSS-A001 can actually control hundreds of smart home devices under the platform, such as turn-table lamps and air conditioners. When more and more smart home devices enter the home, LLSS-A001 will There is greater use of this. The LLSS-A001's recognition of remote voice control is also where it distinguishes other smart Wi-Fi speakers. I tried to control it successfully with a normal voice at a distance of two to three meters.
Talk about the hearing of the LLSS-A001. Its voice style emphasizes the performance of the intermediate frequency, the resolving power and details of the vocal performance are outstanding, and the penetration of the voice is very strong. In the low-frequency part, there can be no sense of hearing, although it will not be fast enough in the dynamic performance of the music, but the sense of victory is not bad, so as to bring a better sense of hearing. From the positioning, LLSS-A001 is not the pursuit of good sound quality, it is more placed in the home to listen to music, relaxing products.

This product, known as the "Music Tray," is about the same size as a regular Locker lunch box. I like the design and texture of it - the top skin material with coarse-grained floral gray mesh, with the shadow of the now popular Nordic minimalist design style. The top has a certain concave, you can put some small objects, although the interface is not much, but provides a USB interface for mobile devices to charge, these two details of the design I think is taking into account the practicality of the user put it on the bedside. The top is equipped with control buttons on the front, wrapped with the same material as the top, and has good integrity. In addition to the conventional power supply and volume control, it also provides special functions such as voice control and key collection.
The MW380 is a product of the cooperation between the rambling and the scorpion, so the App it uses is produced by the singer. Enter the App and select "Rambler Music Box". The App will guide the user through the text and icons to complete the networking operation step by step. It is very simple. However, I noticed that the MW380 does not have access to JD.com, so it cannot control the various smart home devices on JD.com's micro-platform like the LLSS-A001 introduced above. It can only achieve voice control.
In the process of use, I found that the voice control function of the MW380 is relatively simple, mainly for song, radio search and control of playback status, and does not provide more abundant functions such as news and weather broadcasts on the LLSS-A001. The MW380 has a good recognition rate for Chinese. For Chinese singers, songs or radios I speak, it can basically be accurately identified and performed well. The recognition success rate of the English part is not high, only successful recognition of song titles with only one word is possible. Most of the longer song titles cannot be accurately identified, and there is room for improvement.
In the sound quality section, the overall sense of hearing of the MW380 is a style that favors relaxation and relaxation. The high-frequency part of the sound is not overly high, and the fullness of the mid-low-frequency sound is even more prominent. The low-frequency radiator brings a more sensational low-frequency effect, but it shows the details in general. Voice is more prominent in the overall sense of hearing. It is a good choice to enjoy pop concerts. In terms of overall performance, the MW380 is a mainstream product of its kind and suitable for use in the home.
BOSESoundTouch 10

The SoundTouch 10 is the lowest-priced and the smallest model in the Bose Classic Wireless Speaker series. It offers two colors in black and white. I think the white is more beautiful, but dirt resistance can be a problem. Rectangular and square designs are not in place, but BOSE creates a rich visual perception through a combination of different colors and textures, such as nets, silver trims, and light-colored panels.
The first time SoundTouch 10 is connected to a Wi-Fi network requires the App to be set up through Bose's SoundTouch application. Open the app on the phone, it will automatically search for the device, if it fails then switch to manual mode, and through the icon to prompt the user on the speaker should be how to operate. Next, you can complete the setup by selecting a router, entering a password, and registering your account. The App provides a lot of music resources, including Internet Radio, Deezer, Spotify, etc. It can also play local music.
I first tried Internet radio. Domestic resource fluency was relatively good. Some overseas countries would be more likely to be stuck or unable to broadcast. Deezer, Spotify and other music streaming platforms are popular in foreign countries, but in my actual experience, they are not ideally used in the domestic network environment, lacking the music streaming platforms commonly used by domestic users such as shrimp and QQ music, which makes SoundTouch 10 The availability of resources in this area has been discounted. I really like the six preset key designs on the top of it. When you listen to radio and streaming media, you can customize it to one of the buttons if you like it. In this way, the user can use the airframe and the remote control. It is convenient to press the key to jump to the corresponding streaming media.
Audition session I listened to local music through the Wi-Fi mode. The low frequency of Bose SoundTouch 10 inherits the unique characteristics of BOSE. Its dive and strength are superior in the same volume products, and it has a very enjoyable sense of hearing. If you've heard of the SoundLink Mini, you'll be amazed that it can emit such low-level frequencies in such a small volume. The SoundTouch 10's larger size is more natural. The medium-frequency part tends to be more relaxed, the vocal part has a certain degree of dyeing, and the warm style with a thicker tone makes it easier to please the public's ears. The high frequency part is not a high-resolution route. It strives to create a relaxed sense of relaxation.

Millet Internet speaker has always been a simple design style of millet products, at first glance is a white rectangular box, matte cover with front and rear panel grille design. After I got started, Xiaomi Internet Speaker gave me the first impression that it was unexpectedly heavy. The materials used were very solid and I feel good. The top silver control area is a visual highlight, in addition to a good metal texture, its key design is also very characteristic, the combination of metal and soft material brings a touch on the collision. The CH button is the key to its "Internet" spirit. Short press to switch channels, long press to implement voice search function, you can search for songs, radio stations.
Scan the QR code at the bottom of the speaker to download and install the Millet Audio App on your mobile phone. After the app is opened, it automatically searches for nearby devices. After finding the password, it is still a step to input the password of the router. The connection speed is faster. Compared with other products, the convenience and connection speed of the Xiaomi Internet speaker are improved.
The Millet Audio App has a lot of resources built in. The sources include shrimp music, cool music, millet music, radio station, Himalayan radio station, Kaola radio station, Phoenix radio station, and Lai Chi Radio station. There are even Kuker music and classical music. Children's Bevard listened and took care of the segmentation groups. It can be said that Xiaomi did a very good job in the abundance of resources and localization, and took full advantage of their Internet brands' advantages in this area.
I also tried to create my favorite broadcasts in the App, whether it be music, talk show, storytelling, or radio. After setting up, in the future, I just need to switch between different content by using the CH key instead of opening. Mobile devices, a very practical design. In terms of voice control, it has a good accuracy in the recognition of speech, but there are also good Chinese and English recognition. In addition, its voice search function can only be operated nearby, and cannot be realized in a remote place.
The voice style of Xiaomi's Internet speakers focuses on the three routes, especially the vocal part is more prominent, the sound is delicate and mellow, and has a good degree of resistance to hearing. The movement of the treble is clear and clean, and the display of the extremely high frequency is also smooth. The sound of the string is smooth, but the upper limit is not high. The low frequency has a fair amount of flexibility, but it is limited by the volume, the sense of volume is normal, and there is no special bass effect. Although only a small desktop speaker, but the sound performance of the millet Internet speakers is not bad, has a more open performance, while the tri-band separation is also good.

RSR is a company that focuses on Apple Audio. The model of the WRS357 launched this time is the SoundBar that matches the TV, but still provides the Apple Lightning interface. The WRS357 has a long line of traditional SoundBars, a large black mesh cover, silver brushed panel, and high gloss paint. The combination of different materials and processing creates a good visual and texture. The Lightning connector is located in the center of the top of the body and can be used directly as a dock for iPod/iPhone. Below are various control buttons, but I prefer to use their remote control to control the speakers, the function is the same, and the operation is more convenient.
WRS357 is the product of intelligent cooperation between RSR and Ali. Use the Ali smart app on your mobile phone for the first time, and press the Ali smart button on the speaker. After that, press the PAIR button and find WRS357 on the app according to the voice prompts. Enter the router password to complete the networking operation. Alibaba's smart app includes Shrimp Music, Watercress FM, and four other apps that work with Ali. Users can choose what they like to play. In addition, the App also offers features such as section subscription, music collection, and my broadcast.
When you hear your favorite music or broadcast, you can directly press the button with the heart logo on the top of the speaker to collect the music or radio and find it in the music collection bar or in my radio station. When it is inconvenient or does not want to use the mobile phone, you can also switch between music, radio and other columns through the top button with Ali smart logo. In addition, I also experienced the WRS357's speech recognition function. Long press of the WRS357 speech recognition key will enter the speech recognition state, and the recognition rate is not much different from the previous experience.
I had a practical experience with a TV in the living room. If it is watching TV programs, the most obvious change in the WRS357's own speaker compared to the TV is that the sound pressure is more sufficient, the clarity of the vocal is improved, and the fullness is more full, and a certain degree of knotty can be obtained. For high-definition movies, WRS357 has a better bass effect, especially in the movie chase, war blast and other scenes, can create a good overall sound atmosphere, there will be no part of the integrated speaker sound pattern is small problem. Of course, it still has something to improve. For example, in the more complex sound scene, the tri-frequency separation performance is somewhat inadequate.
Experience Summary and Optional Tips To end the experience of these five Wi-Fi speakers, I believe we should have more understanding of the current status of different types of products in the Wi-Fi speaker market. For the characteristics of the market presented in this experience, it is also necessary for MC to be combed and summarized here.
In this experience of several speakers, we can see their differences in the content of resources, and this difference in the final analysis is that they use different solutions, platforms. With international brands represented by Bose, their products have outstanding performance in design and sound quality, and content resources are mainly based on international popular streaming media. Taking into account the domestic network environment, the utility of these content resources is compromised. Of course, younger users with more familiar technologies can still obtain rich resources through DLNA, AirPlay, etc. However, for those ordinary users who are not as proficient in technology, Wi-Fi speakers may not be easy to experience when using these products. The advantages brought.
Therefore, products based on Alan Smart and Alibaba Intelligence will be a better choice for the latter users. Although Millet did not cooperate with the above two, its content resources, voice control, and they are not essentially different. It can be seen that such Wi-Fi speakers have more localized resources. The content providers they select are all well-known apps in China, making the quantity and quality of content resources more assured and will be more suitable for those who just want to use it. Easy to use consumers.
In addition, the addition of voice control allows these Wi-Fi speakers to become more "smart", simpler to implement voice search, and not only to interact with users more complexly, but also to connect to intelligent platforms and to control the home. A smart home device voice terminal. For most ordinary users, the products that can implement voice search can meet their needs. They should pay more attention to the product's rich content resources in Chengdu. For those who like early adopter smart devices, consumers who already have a lot of related devices in their homes can consider having more intelligent voice control products, and use it to conveniently control smart devices at home.
From the aspect of product form, currently Wi-Fi speakers have covered various types of applications, ranging from portable products that carry, to desktop speakers that can be used in any indoor scene, to SoundBars that are specially designed for use with televisions. Traditional 2.0 architecture products are not absent in this speaker technology upgrade. It can be said that consumers who need different types of speakers can find products that meet their own requirements under the broad category of Wi-Fi speakers.
Of course, for now, integrated desktop speakers are the most common form. Considering the interoperability of multiple Wi-Fi speakers and the unified management of apps on mobile devices, it is very convenient for consumers to use such products to build a sound system that can be controlled in a unified manner. In other words, when there are multiple Wi-Fi speakers in the home, the user can either let them play one music at the same time, or they can play different music, or only let some of them play music, and can also achieve mono, 2 .0 Stereo and even 5.1 multi-channel free combination, with a very high degree of playability and flexibility.
Smart TV/box information can focus on smart TV information network sofa butler (http://), China's influential TV box and smart TV website, providing information, communication, TV boxes, smart TVs, smart TV software, etc. Answering questions.
Today, we come to our readers to sort out the current status of the Wi-Fi speaker market, and to experience new products that are currently on the market, as well as representative hot products in the segment segment. Finally, we will recommend appropriate Wi-Fi products for consumers with different needs. -Fi speakers.

It is a good choice to enjoy pop concerts. In terms of overall performance, the MW380 is a mainstream product of its kind and suitable for use in the home.

The SoundTouch 10 is the lowest-priced and the smallest model in the Bose Classic Wireless Speaker series. It offers two colors in black and white. I think the white is more beautiful, but dirt resistance can be a problem. Rectangular and square designs are not in place, but BOSE creates a rich visual perception through a combination of different colors and textures, such as nets, silver trims, and light-colored panels.
The first time SoundTouch 10 is connected to a Wi-Fi network requires the App to be set up through Bose's SoundTouch application. Open the app on the phone, it will automatically search for the device, if it fails then switch to manual mode, and through the icon to prompt the user on the speaker should be how to operate. Next, you can complete the setup by selecting a router, entering a password, and registering your account. The App provides a lot of music resources, including Internet Radio, Deezer, Spotify, etc. It can also play local music.
I first tried Internet radio. Domestic resource fluency was relatively good. Some overseas countries would be more likely to be stuck or unable to broadcast. Deezer, Spotify and other music streaming platforms are popular in foreign countries, but in my actual experience, they are not ideally used in the domestic network environment, lacking the music streaming platforms commonly used by domestic users such as shrimp and QQ music, which makes SoundTouch 10 The availability of resources in this area has been discounted. I really like the six preset key designs on the top of it. When you listen to radio and streaming media, you can customize it to one of the buttons if you like it. In this way, the user can use the airframe and the remote control. It is convenient to press the key to jump to the corresponding streaming media.
Audition session I listened to local music through the Wi-Fi mode. The low frequency of Bose SoundTouch 10 inherits the unique characteristics of BOSE. Its dive and strength are superior in the same volume products, and it has a very enjoyable sense of hearing. If you've heard of the SoundLink Mini, you'll be amazed that it can emit such low-level frequencies in such a small volume. The SoundTouch 10's larger size is more natural. The medium-frequency part tends to be more relaxed, the vocal part has a certain degree of dyeing, and the warm style with a thicker tone makes it easier to please the public's ears. The high frequency part is not a high-resolution route. It strives to create a relaxed sense of relaxation.

Millet Internet speaker has always been a simple design style of millet products, at first glance is a white rectangular box, matte cover with front and rear panel grille design. After I got started, Xiaomi Internet Speaker gave me the first impression that it was unexpectedly heavy. The materials used were very solid and I feel good. The top silver control area is a visual highlight, in addition to a good metal texture, its key design is also very characteristic, the combination of metal and soft material brings a touch on the collision. The CH button is the key to its "Internet" spirit. Short press to switch channels, long press to implement voice search function, you can search for songs, radio stations.
Scan the QR code at the bottom of the speaker to download and install the Millet Audio App on your mobile phone. After the app is opened, it automatically searches for nearby devices. After finding the password, it is still a step to input the password of the router. The connection speed is faster. Compared with other products, the convenience and connection speed of the Xiaomi Internet speaker are improved.
The Millet Audio App has a lot of resources built in. The sources include shrimp music, cool music, millet music, radio station, Himalayan radio station, Kaola radio station, Phoenix radio station, and Lai Chi Radio station. There are even Kuker music and classical music. Children's Bevard listened and took care of the segmentation groups. It can be said that Xiaomi did a very good job in the abundance of resources and localization, and took full advantage of their Internet brands' advantages in this area.
I also tried to create my favorite broadcasts in the App, whether it be music, talk show, storytelling, or radio. After setting up, in the future, I just need to switch between different content by using the CH key instead of opening. Mobile devices, a very practical design. In terms of voice control, it has a good accuracy in the recognition of speech, but there are also good Chinese and English recognition. In addition, its voice search function can only be operated nearby, and cannot be realized in a remote place.
The voice style of Xiaomi's Internet speakers focuses on the three routes, especially the vocal part is more prominent, the sound is delicate and mellow, and has a good degree of resistance to hearing. The movement of the treble is clear and clean, and the display of the extremely high frequency is also smooth. The sound of the string is smooth, but the upper limit is not high. The low frequency has a fair amount of flexibility, but it is limited by the volume, the sense of volume is normal, and there is no special bass effect. Although only a small desktop speaker, but the sound performance of the millet Internet speakers is not bad, has a more open performance, while the tri-band separation is also good.

RSR is a company that focuses on Apple Audio. The model of the WRS357 launched this time is the SoundBar that matches the TV, but still provides the Apple Lightning interface. The WRS357 has a long line of traditional SoundBars, a large black mesh cover, silver brushed panel, and high gloss paint. The combination of different materials and processing creates a good visual and texture. The Lightning connector is located in the center of the top of the body and can be used directly as a dock for iPod/iPhone. Below are various control buttons, but I prefer to use their remote control to control the speakers, the function is the same, and the operation is more convenient.
WRS357 is the product of intelligent cooperation between RSR and Ali. Use the Ali smart app on your mobile phone for the first time, and press the Ali smart button on the speaker. After that, press the PAIR button and find WRS357 on the app according to the voice prompts. Enter the router password to complete the networking operation. Alibaba's smart app includes Shrimp Music, Watercress FM, and four other apps that work with Ali. Users can choose what they like to play. In addition, the App also offers features such as section subscription, music collection, and my broadcast.
When you hear your favorite music or broadcast, you can directly press the button with the heart logo on the top of the speaker to collect the music or radio and find it in the music collection bar or in my radio station. When it is inconvenient or does not want to use the mobile phone, you can also switch between music, radio and other columns through the top button with Ali smart logo. In addition, I also experienced the WRS357's speech recognition function. Long press of the WRS357 speech recognition key will enter the speech recognition state, and the recognition rate is not much different from the previous experience.
I had a practical experience with a TV in the living room. If it is watching TV programs, the most obvious change in the WRS357's own speaker compared to the TV is that the sound pressure is more sufficient, the clarity of the vocal is improved, and the fullness is more full, and a certain degree of knotty can be obtained. For high-definition movies, WRS357 has a better bass effect, especially in the movie chase, war blast and other scenes, can create a good overall sound atmosphere, there will be no part of the integrated speaker sound pattern is small problem. Of course, it still has something to improve. For example, in the more complex sound scene, the tri-frequency separation performance is somewhat inadequate.
Experience Summary and Optional Tips To end the experience of these five Wi-Fi speakers, I believe we should have more understanding of the current status of different types of products in the Wi-Fi speaker market. For the characteristics of the market presented in this experience, it is also necessary for MC to be combed and summarized here.
In this experience of several speakers, we can see their differences in the content of resources, and this difference in the final analysis is that they use different solutions, platforms. With international brands represented by Bose, their products have outstanding performance in design and sound quality, and content resources are mainly based on international popular streaming media. Taking into account the domestic network environment, the utility of these content resources is compromised. Of course, younger users with more familiar technologies can still obtain rich resources through DLNA, AirPlay, etc. However, for those ordinary users who are not as proficient in technology, Wi-Fi speakers may not be easy to experience when using these products. The advantages brought.
Therefore, products based on Alan Smart and Alibaba Intelligence will be a better choice for the latter users. Although Millet did not cooperate with the above two, its content resources, voice control, and they are not essentially different. It can be seen that such Wi-Fi speakers have more localized resources. The content providers they select are all well-known apps in China, making the quantity and quality of content resources more assured and will be more suitable for those who just want to use it. Easy to use consumers.
In addition, the addition of voice control allows these Wi-Fi speakers to become more "smart", simpler to implement voice search, and not only to interact with users more complexly, but also to connect to intelligent platforms and to control the home. A smart home device voice terminal. For most ordinary users, the products that can implement voice search can meet their needs. They should pay more attention to the product's rich content resources in Chengdu. For those who like early adopter smart devices, consumers who already have a lot of related devices in their homes can consider having more intelligent voice control products, and use it to conveniently control smart devices at home.
From the aspect of product form, currently Wi-Fi speakers have covered various types of applications, ranging from portable products that carry, to desktop speakers that can be used in any indoor scene, to SoundBars that are specially designed for use with televisions. Traditional 2.0 architecture products are not absent in this speaker technology upgrade. It can be said that consumers who need different types of speakers can find products that meet their own requirements under the broad category of Wi-Fi speakers.
Of course, for now, integrated desktop speakers are the most common form. Considering the interoperability of multiple Wi-Fi speakers and the unified management of apps on mobile devices, it is very convenient for consumers to use such products to build a sound system that can be controlled in a unified manner. In other words, when there are multiple Wi-Fi speakers in the home, the user can either let them play one music at the same time, or they can play different music, or only let some of them play music, and can also achieve mono, 2 .0 Stereo and even 5.1 multi-channel free combination, with a very high degree of playability and flexibility.
