Which is better, Tmall Elf Sugar Cube or Xiao Ai?

As the two giants in the smart speaker market, Tmall Elf and Xiao Ai, these two speakers, which have been selling well since their release, are popular artificial intelligence products. There are also many friends who are entangled in which of these two speakers is better. Some local tyrants care about which one is better, while some people who are as shy as me can only buy one, so I will give you a comparison based on the principle of serving the public to see which one is better, Tmall Elf Sugar Cube or Xiao Ai.

1, appearance

As the name implies, the shape of Tmall Elf Sugar Cube is similar to that of sugar cube, and it is designed more and more dexterously and lightly according to the overall trend. The compact body allows you to put it anywhere in your home, only when you call it.

The main body of Xiao Ai is a white square body, and its style inherits the shape of Xiaomi air purifier, which is simple and fresh. Not big. The length and width are 8.8 cm, the height is about 2 1 cm, and the weight is about 600 grams.

At the top of the speaker is the corresponding full touch button panel, including the microphone disable button at the top of the panel, the play/pause button in the middle, the previous song on the left, the next song on the right, the ch button below, that is, the channel/configuration mode switch button, and the "volume adjustment" touch ring that slides in an annular way. When the speaker is plugged in, the rainbow ring flashing light at the top of the speaker lights up, and the lighting effect is still extremely soft.

2. Functional characteristics

Sugar cube has voiceprint memory function, which can remember every family member and provide intimate service. Voiceprint shopping is also one of the things that sugar cubes have to say, and the operation of realizing voiceprint shopping is rare. It can control hundreds of home appliances owned by Ali, which can better reflect the current living standard.

Xiao Ai supports access to information and answering questions. Tmall Elves can ask all kinds of interactive questions about constellations, listen to radio news, tell stories and tell jokes. Xiao Ai's classmates are very active. When I feel bored, I can chat with my classmates in Xiao Ai for an afternoon.

Xiao Ai supports voice-on-demand music. As a smart speaker, students in Xiao Ai can use voice control to order the music and audio books they want to listen to, which is a bit cool.

Xiao Ai supports all kinds of smart devices that control Xiaomi's cooperation. For example, Xiaomi controller can use Xiaomi voice to control channel changing, power on and off, etc. Voice dialing, voice navigation, voice alarm reminder, voice song ordering, etc.

3. As far as sound quality is concerned

As the leader of smart speakers in China, Tmall has always been committed to function and modernity, so it has always been very powerful, and it is not only functional, but also quite close to the people.

Needless to say, the appearance of sugar cubes looks full of design, and the main body of muffin noodles is particularly cute.

However, what is the sound quality of this speaker? I have heard all the songs in low, medium and high notes. In terms of bass, we played The Bridge of Peace, and the bass response was quite good. The dull and rich voice is quite shocking. As for the alto, we played a song "Miss Dong", and the alto was quite acceptable. High-pitched words are somewhat unsatisfactory and occasionally distorted. If it is louder, there will be some noise.

As a smart speaker, whether it is smart or not, Xiao Ai is definitely the most important part, so the sound quality is the key to its performance. This speaker adopts sound reflection cone and acoustic waveguide technology, which can realize 360-degree annular sound field, and two passive woofers are added, and the effective dive at low frequency can reach 65Hz. From the configuration point of view, Xiaomi AI speaker uses a 2.25-inch full-range speaker with a frequency response range of 60 ~ 15 kHz.

The bass audition was at the Eagle Hotel in California. When playing through the Xiaomi AI speaker, you can feel the clear and round sound and the heavy feeling of the sound. Generally speaking, the resolution and layering are quite distinct. Although it can't be called excellent, it is already a leader among the AI speaker products on the market at present.

The alto part mainly feels the realism of the sound, and Faye Wong's Surge is selected for audition. The details of vocal music are quite rich, true and delicate, and the tension is stable.

In the high-pitched part, I auditioned Paradise by Tengger singer singer, which is full of passion and explosive force, and it is a classic vocal music test track. The sound field played by Xiaomi AI speaker is relatively wide, and the performance is slightly dull.

Summary:

To sum up, generally speaking, everyone should have their own ideas. The two speakers that responded well in use should be regarded as Xiao Ai's classmates. They have their own advantages in all aspects, but the price may be a little different. Sugar cubes are relatively cheaper. However, if friends who like online shopping can choose sugar cubes, and friends who like listening to music can choose Xiao Ai, different people have different opinions.
