Although AI smart speakers are not a Hi-Fi product that enthusiasts care about, it has great potential in this field now, and my family likes it, especially my son. Since the first AI speaker at home, he has often used it. Order songs and stories, and then sit and enjoy the music, popular songs, and nursery rhymes played by AI. Aiwu and Wuba, out of my family’s love for this emerging digital product, I will also experience it when I encounter an AI speaker that I am interested in. The Huawei AI speaker in the study is the latest toy.
In the picture above, I placed the Huawei AI speaker on a dedicated shock absorber for audiophiles to make it emit better sound quality. Of course, this is not necessary for general household use, and the effect is good when placed on a wooden table.
AI speakers all have "spells". When the owner calls, AI wakes up to serve the host; the calling spell of Huawei AI speakers is "Xiaoyi Xiaoyi", and the response is very sensitive. Huawei AI speakers will respond immediately. Not only can you order your favorite songs, artists, and music types, but you can also give AI a command. I think the most useful command is "Turn on Bluetooth"! After receiving the instruction, the Huawei AI speaker will turn on the Bluetooth mode. After the mobile phone is paired, when you play music in apps such as Apple Music or QQ Music, the sound will be transmitted from the Huawei AI speaker.
One of my personal favorites is to play background music on demand. Yesterday evening, I had a nap on the sofa in the study and called Xiaoyi "I want to listen to light music." As a result, Xiaoyi gave me all kinds of light music for a long time. This inadvertent and unpredictable random walk-through listening is quite interesting, because you will never know what music will be played next by "Xiaoyi". When the music comes out, you can search for it in the memory to see if Can tell the name of this song. This feeling is like what Forrest Gump said in the movie, Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get! From a sound perspective, this is certainly not a Hi-Fi speaker, and does not pursue high and low frequency extension and resolution. The low frequency of Huawei AI is not deliberately aggravated. The overall balance is biased towards medium and high, but the adjustment of the voice intelligibility is very good. The fundamental frequency of the violin has a good texture. I feel that it is "tuned". The adjustment pursues the most sensitive frequency band (middle frequency-mid-high) of the human ear, so the energy is the most concentrated and the most critical affects the tone. The quality of the frequency band is good, but the high and low ends are obviously abandoned. It is impossible for such a small AI speaker to achieve deep low-frequency diving and extremely high-frequency playback above 10,000 Hz. Some speakers will emphasize the low frequency 60-100 Hz to create the so-called "heavy bass", or In the 8k-10k high frequency de-emphasis, the so-called "bright high frequency" is produced and the detailed analysis of the high frequency band is highlighted, but the Huawei AI speaker does not adopt this kind of "vulgar" processing, which makes the ends roll off normally, and The most sensitive key range of the human ear has achieved good texture performance-vocal voice, singing, the fundamental tone and basic texture of the main musical instruments are all remarkable. The current smart speakers are indeed some distance from the Hi-Fi speakers, but the sound design of Huawei AI speakers is correct. I learned about it from the side and learned that the sound hardware design and tuning of this Huawei AI speaker are actually the same as Dynaudio. Jointly, the propaganda statement is "Dynaudio-Huawei brand joint tuning". OK, this of course does not mean that it has the excellent sound quality of the tens of thousands of Dynaudio speakers. Its price is only 399 yuan, but it can confirm my previous analysis-its sound adjustment is professional, not the kind Kitsch tuning or random tuning. Clear and clean voice and vocals, and good-quality mid-to-high frequencies, enable Huawei AI to play most voice programs and pure music to obtain sound quality that is good enough for AI speakers, and it gives me a sense of professionalism in tuning. Huawei AI is not only a home speaker that can play music and tell stories, it can also become a super practical home device controller if it works with Huawei's mobile phones and smart home devices. At present, mobile phones that can work with it include Huawei Mate 20, etc., which can realize interactive calls between smart speakers and smart speakers, and between smart speakers and mobile phones. All smart home devices that support Huawei's HiLink platform (a smart home open interconnection platform developed by Huawei), including air conditioners, fans, cameras, desk lamps, water heaters, sockets, sweeping robots, etc., can be added to the app to control the Huawei AI speaker The equipment, using Huawei AI speakers for management and voice control, is super convenient. I personally believe that this represents a kind of smart home appliance management in the future. Those physical switches and traditional remote controls will soon abdicate and give way to a simple and practical integrated voice operation center such as HiLink appliances + Huawei AI speakers.The only bad thing is that Huawei’s AI speakers give me a bad feeling of "going into the pit"-should I consider gradually replacing my home appliances with new toys that support Huawei HiLink? In this way, there is no need to do it, and all the voice control is achieved by Huawei AI speakers... Well, the future of this kind of smart digital looks very good, but it costs money again.
However, the budget for purchasing HiLink smart home is temporarily delayed. I immediately want to buy another Huawei AI speaker in the bedroom. I find it is also extremely practical in the bedroom. It can be used as an alarm clock and can report the weather every day when I wake up. And traffic conditions to and from get off work. I find that only one Huawei AI speaker at home is not enough. At least it has its place in the study and bedroom.
