Little love speaker Play enhanced version: full cost-effective 100-yuan smart speaker
The enhanced version of Xiao Ai speaker Play has followed the appearance of the previous generation. Below the main body is Xiaomi's brand-new LOGO, and the original LOGO position is replaced by the time display function. As long as the power is connected, the "HELLO" welcome animation will scroll, and the time will be displayed after connecting to the network.
If you are worried that strong light will affect your sleep at night, you can turn off the night display in your mobile phone, but the speaker itself cannot turn off the display according to the ambient light. When Xiao Ai wakes up, the time display area will turn into cute big eyes as a display response.
There are four pickup microphones at the top of the little love speaker Play, which can receive voice commands from all around. There are four buttons in the middle, namely, volume increase and decrease button, play/pause button and disable/turn on microphone button, just like many smart speaker buttons. There are four colors in the middle: blue indicates normal connection, orange indicates configuration mode and disconnection, pink indicates microphone is disabled, and red indicates system failure.
As a smart speaker, the sound quality is also an aspect that users will take a fancy to when purchasing. The enhanced version of Xiao Ai speaker Play is basically the same in sound quality as the previous generation of Xiao Ai speaker play, with 2.0-inch full-range speakers and 360-degree balanced sound field. For most people, it can completely meet the needs of daily use. However, if you need more advanced stereo, whole house play and other functions, you may need to buy Xiao Ai Speaker Pro.
Like other smart speakers, Xiao Ai Speaker Play also supports voice assistant Xiao Ai. You can check the weather, time, set alarm clock, play desired resources and so on through Xiao Ai. Xiaomi has cooperated with QQ Music, and you can play all the songs authorized by QQ Music directly on the speaker. In addition, we can also add Himalayan, dragonfly FM, lazy people listening to books and other resources through the authorization of a third party in the APP, and then push them to the speaker for playback.
If the little love speaker Play enhanced version is mainly for children, I suggest you turn on the children mode in the settings. For example, Xiao Ai was also asked to "play music". Pop songs will be played randomly before opening, while children's songs will be played in children's mode. And after filling in the child's age, the recommended songs will also change accordingly, and parents can make relevant settings in advance.
Some people may have more than one millet eco-product at home. In order to avoid multiple devices corresponding when calling Xiao Ai, we can turn on the cooperative wake-up function, which can accurately identify the speaker position of Xiao Ai, so that when you wake up the speaker of Xiao Ai, only the nearest Xiao Ai will respond to you. However, it should be noted that collaborative wake-up does not support speakers and mobile phones, which means that when you call Xiao Ai, both the mobile phone and the speakers will respond to you, which is where Xiaomi needs to optimize in the future.
Another major feature of Xiao Ai speaker Play is its support for infrared remote control and Bluetooth gateway functions. Its operation is also very simple. Select the device to be added in the mobile APP, then press the button corresponding to the remote control according to the prompt, and then observe whether the device is matched. After that, you can control smart home appliances and traditional home appliances through Xiao Ai.
Xiao Ai speaker Play enhanced edition has built-in 4+ 1 infrared array, which can control traditional infrared remote control TV, set-top box, fans, air conditioners and other products (about 6,000 brands). For remote control TV, Xiao Ai Speaker Play Enhanced Edition supports 1900 brands of TV equipment, and also supports set-top boxes in more than 500 cities and regions across the country. In terms of air conditioning control, this speaker supports more than 500 air conditioning brands including Midea and Gree. In terms of fan control, the enhanced version of Play supports 120 air conditioning brands including Midea and Dyson. At the same time, the enhanced Xiao Ai speaker also supports more than 100 TV box brands including Apple Box and more than 100 projector brands including Epson, Dell and Hewlett-Packard.
Summary: The price of this little love speaker Play enhanced version is 129 yuan. As a speaker, its sound quality is good. As a smart home control center, its infrared remote control function allows you to link a variety of smart devices at home, which is the most cost-effective choice for beginners.
