Unpacking

1 of 3




After removing the packaging film from the box and removing the outer part of the box, we find the Xiaomi Mi Alarm Clock in a separate cradle. It is worth noting that removing the column from the box, all the insides are taken out at once, and then it is worth a lot of effort to remove the alarm clock itself from the rest of the packaging. Under the alarm clock we will find short instruction on everything "understandable" Chinese and micro USB cable.

Alarm clock

Xiaomi Mi Alarm Clock has a cylindrical shape with a control washer on top. Outwardly, the device is schematically reminiscent of a classic wind-up alarm clock from childhood. The company calls this style 1More Design. The front, as is often used in speakers, is covered with a fabric cover, under which is an LED dial. On the bottom of the alarm clock there is a small bevel on which a rubber support leg is glued. A multifunctional control washer is located on top. Xiaomi Mi Alarm Clock has 3 speakers - 2 on the sides and one in the center below the dial. The back plastic wall of the watch has no elements other than the connector power micro USB.

Nutrition

The Xiaomi Mi Alarm Clock has a 2600 mAh battery, which should be enough for 10 days in standby mode or for 8-10 hours of listening to music, but at 60% of the maximum power. Time until full charge declared by the manufacturer is 2 hours.

Indication

Xiaomi Mi Alarm Clock shows the time by illuminating the desired LED through the fabric of the front panel. The watch has 12 digits located in a circle, and the same number of dots, which show the minutes with an accuracy of 5 minutes. At the top of the dial there are 2 symbols - activation of the alarm clock and night mode. An indicator is located between them. bluetooth operation connections, which can glow blue or red.

Control

Since along with Xiaomi Mi Alarm Clock there was an instruction only in Chinese, I tried to figure it out on my own. And I will say right away that the decision of the engineers to make the washer the only governing body, I consider very dubious and little functional. But first things first.

The Xiaomi Mi Alarm Clock is turned on by long pressing the control puck. After 3 seconds pleasant female voice in Chinese, it says the device has turned on. The LED numbers for hours and minute dots can be seen immediately through the fabric. Turn off by holding the washer for 5 seconds.

A single press while connected to a smartphone will start playing music from the smartphone, and rotating the puck will increase or decrease the volume. Current level volume will be displayed when increasing / decreasing it on the scoreboard in the form of numbers from 1 to 12.

Fast double tap on the control washer activates the clock setting mode. Rotating the washer clockwise will change the hour value, and counterclockwise - minutes. Moreover, the values ​​from 12 o'clock to 24 days will be lit by the indicator with the image of the moon, corresponding to the value of the time PM. To confirm the setting, press the control washer once.

Pressing four times quickly activates the alarm setting mode. The setting rule is the same as for the clock, except that the alarm symbol flashes.

Pressing the control puck six times in a row allows you to select one of three alarm melodies: One loud bell, standard bell and cuckoo. If you heard a voice in the choice of a melody, then you turned off the alarm.

With the device turned on, hold the puck Xiaomi control Mi Alarm Clock turns on the search mode for a paired device for 3 seconds.

To turn off the alarm on the Xiaomi Mi Alarm Clock, you must double-click on the control washer. If you have not turned off the alarm, then after 3 minutes the melody will stop. The alarm will resume after 9 minutes. And this can happen twice.

Bluetooth light indication

Depending on the state, blue Xiaomi indicator Mi Alarm Clock informs about the mode of the device with various variations of the indicator. Examples of indications are:

  • Power on - blue LED is on for 1 second.
  • Connection mode of a previously connected device - the blue LED blinks twice once every 5 or 10 seconds.
  • Device search mode - red and blue indicators flash alternately.
  • Paired device mode - single blue blink once every 7 seconds.
  • Charging - The red indicator is on until the device is fully charged.
  • Shutdown - the red indicator is on for 1 second and the device turns off.

Alarm

To turn off the alarm on the Xiaomi Mi Alarm Clock, you must double-click on the control washer. If you have not turned off the alarm, then after 3 minutes the melody will stop. The alarm will resume after 9 minutes. And this can happen twice.


But, unfortunately, after this price flew around the Internet, it remained at the publication stage. The media and users have never been able to experience this product.

After the release of the product, almost a month passed and now, finally, we received Xiaomi review AI Speaker.

Let's start with the packaging, from the outside the bag looks quite elegant: on thick black paper nice font imprinted gold letters AI.

Upon opening, you can see a white box containing the "adoption" agreement. Approximately such words with a kind smile delight the new owner of the speakers: "I was still a child when my dad Xiaomi gave me instructions to deal with all the difficulties that will come across in my life." The package contains the AI ​​Speaker itself and the power adapter. Adapter not included standard port USB.

The appearance of Xiaomi AI Speaker

At first glance, the white speaker cabinet looks like a scaled-down version of one of the brand's air purifiers. The rounded rectangular shape looks very stylish, even the holes made at the bottom of the speakers look fashionable and do not violate the minimalism style. In terms of material, the portable speaker is made of plastic. Although it is a cheap material, it gives a sense of quality.


Xiaomi AI Speaker is a beautiful and sophisticated device. As for the $ 299 price tag, the speakers look pretty good.

Control

All speaker control buttons are located on the top of the case.

Here in the circle there are touch buttons that can increase or decrease the volume. You can also switch the next song, switch playlist, mute / unmute the microphone. Average touch button responsible for play / pause.


The buttons are likely to be used every day, so they are all compactly located at the top of the column.

Sound: there are surprises

The Xiaomi AI Speaker is equipped with an active sound unit. Similar characteristics of the acoustic structure of the speaker, some time ago, was presented to the world by a large acoustic American company Bose. Despite the fact that the AI ​​Speaker has low price and small size, this speaker impressed with the sound quality.


The AI ​​Speaker is clearly biased towards the popular low frequency. Oddly enough, it produces a cleaner sound. For $ 299, the inside is made with a very high quality. If you are usually accustomed to using loud speaker phone to listen to music, then the AI ​​Speaker for a few hundred dollars will pleasantly surprise you.

We caught ourselves thinking that the sound quality of the Xiaomi speaker is much better than that of some other expensive products from competing companies.


In addition to direct search songs through voice, the speaker also supports Bluetooth and DLNA, and the user can directly use the APP on the phone to listen to music.

Specific functions of Xiaomi AI Speaker

This product Chinese company contains many specific functions, such as: check the weather, turn on the alarm, set a reminder, listen to the news of the day, check traffic and others.

On the real experience checked and confirmed, the column understands and perceives semantics, it is easy to move on to music, searching for an audio library and similar resources.

Another specific function of the column is the control of smart home products from the ecosystem.

Xiaomi AI Speaker can be like stand-alone device in the house and vice versa. This portable speaker can collaborate with and even manage other products in the brand ecosystem. It is great advantage in comparison with other domestic loudspeakers.


According to official data Xiaomi products more than 60 million people have purchased from the smart home system. There are about 10 million users who have bought more than 10 Xiaomi AI Speaker speaker models. This is overwhelming data!

Currently, users can customize the artificial intelligence of the speaker. For example, leaving the house to say "goodbye", and thus turn off the lights and sockets, then the robot cleaner will start cleaning the room, and the air purifiers will work to maintain air quality.

In addition to the above information, I would like to say that it can control lamps, air purifiers, robot cleaner, TV Box, rice cooker and others.

Interaction smart home, one of priority directions all systems of this kind. Is it possible to call a house smart if, to turn on the light, you need to get your smartphone, go to the application and activate the lighting there? For a house to become smart, you need to learn how to communicate with it, and if it knows how to notify you, then there is no way to listen to you and execute commands.

But progress does not stand still and the solution to this issue was implemented in the smart speaker Xiaomi Mi AI Speaker!

The speaker is delivered in a nice box, which contains different helpful information(alas, but only in Chinese):

Let's take a look inside:

Xiaomi devices come in the same design concept, so the column looks very much like a small air purifier. The package includes the speaker itself and the power supply. Since it does not have a built-in battery, it can only work from the mains. Well, of course, the power supply plug is of the Chinese format.

Touch control unit, located on the top of the column. There are also 6 microphones:

In the center is the Play button, which controls playback. On the sides there are rewind or switch buttons audio track... In the upper part there is a button for turning the microphone on and off. And at the bottom there is a playlist skip button.

The circular notch is a touch sensitive volume control that's quite touch sensitive.

At the edges of the column there is an LED ring, the color of which changes depending on the current state.

Sound of the speaker Mi Ai Speaker

Since sound reproduction is not the main purpose of the device, the speaker's capabilities are curtailed. For example, there is no AUX jack and AirPlay is not supported. Sound can be played through bluetooth connection and internet radio. DLNA technology is also supported.

Inside the column there are 2 speakers 60Hz - 18KHz allowing to produce a sound of 82 dB. Below is a passive radiator that acts as a subwoofer.

The speaker sounds pretty good, the bass is felt. You won't be able to go deaf, but to fill the room with music is quite. Do not forget that the sound in this speaker is not the main thing.

App for Xiaomi AI Speaker

If you are trying to add a column to MiHome the usual way, then most likely you will not succeed (by at least at the testing stage). To control the smart speaker, it is used special application Mi AI. Traditionally, accessible language only Chinese. But this is no reason to be upset, keep the translated app, version 1.2.7 (for Android). For iOS app can be downloaded here:

As in all Xiaomi apps, you can use the data of the Mi account (similar to MiHome). After authorization, we are offered to add a column:

For some reason, the first time I could not connect the column, an error was issued:

But since I did not have any network barriers, I pressed the "Retry" button and the column connected normally. Next, the application asks for information about your preferences:

I don’t know about you, but I liked the guy in the striped jacket. But despite this, I missed these settings, I am cool with Chinese music. This completes the initial setup of the column:

But do not believe everything that is written, if you say "Mi Ai", nothing will happen. But more on that later, but for now let's look at the application tabs:

First tab: Internet radio. Mostly there are Chinese artists, but there are also tracks from major Western bands. I could not find Russian-speaking performers.

Second tab: Smart home control. One of the main purposes of the speaker is voice control of smart devices. This is where the pairing of Mi Ai and MiHome applications is configured, although not the first time. When the "Authorize Mi Ai Speaker" button was pressed, the application constantly complained about the absence of MiHome. And only after 5 attempts, with the restart of all applications, the pairing was established. Next, the application requested access to devices:

After adding permissions, the tab displays managed devices and voice commands management:

Now let's see how to communicate with the speaker.

Voice control for Xiaomi smart home

One of the main purposes of Mi AI Speaker is voice control of a smart home. By analogy with Google and its "Ok google", the control is activated passphrase: 小 爱 同学. If suddenly someone does not speak Chinese, then insert the phrase into the translator with the playback function. The translator's voice recognizes with a bang, but my pronunciation is clearly alien to her.

But it is not enough to activate voice control, then you need to name the action and the name of the device (of course, everything is in Chinese). If you decide to actively use Chinese, then the name smart devices better to change to a numerical value, for easier pronunciation. The entire command will look something like this:

小爱同学 打开开关 五

Which includes the Aqara switch called "5". I myself felt stupid when I tried to repeat this phrase after the translator, which unfortunately I did not succeed. A logical question arises:

Will there be support for other languages ​​in the Mi Ai Speaker?

Despite the fact that the column came out about a year ago, it is still in the testing phase. Any official information on the this moment no. But I would not particularly hope for an early release of multilingualism. Most likely there will be support for English, at the moment the Amazon Echo assistant is expected to go on sale with voice assistant Alexa.

Let's go back to our column, or rather to the 3rd tab of the application: Tools. There are collected useful commands that the column can handle, you can find out about the weather, set an alarm or learn about traffic jams, etc. All this is of course interesting if you live in China. Without knowing the language, this tab is useless.

Well, the fourth tab: Profile. Change Wi-Fi settings or Bluetooth, install updates, etc.

For 3780 rubles. Or order in China from or.

And then it will be seen, they will add at least English language- will be great. Or maybe someone will screw Alice from Yandex? Unlikely, but also possible. The development of voice control systems is actively developing, and it is quite logical that home automation systems will completely switch to it in the coming years. We will follow the development of events, and thank you for reading, until we meet again.

The MIUI forum rightly noted that Xiaomi has made a habit of suddenly announcing another product at presentations of a new product, about which there was not even the slightest rumor. As you remember, last year, at the presentation of Mi Note 2, it was a surprise both for us and for competitors. bezel-less smartphone Mi MIX. And yesterday Xiaomi suddenly announced a column with artificial intelligence at the presentation of MIUI 9 and Mi 5X. Our favorite Chinese company already has speakers in its arsenal. different types and suits, so launching a smart speaker is just a matter of time. Xiaomi has joined a small but growing list of smart speaker companies.

Design

The Mi AI Speaker is so similar to the Xiaomi air purifier that during the presentation, we first thought about the announcement of the 3rd Mi Air Purifier. The column owes much of this to its vertical design, rounded corners and speaker grilles. On the upper edge there are control buttons and a special LED ring that glows when the speaker is turned on or performs any action.

MI AI Speaker functionality

In fact, the functionality of Mi AI Speaker consists of two main functions: an assistant and a controller.

The first will prevent you from oversleeping at work or school, making notes and a schedule for the day, reporting news, weather, and so on in the spirit of Siri and Google now... You can even have conversations with the column. Of course, only Chinese is available so far, in which Mi AI Speaker speaks almost like a person. You look and the Turing test will pass.

The second is intended to be the new and improved controller for all other smart gadgets Xiaomi, be it a kettle, a rice cooker, smart lamp, socket or motion sensors. The column can work with many triggers and bundles of mi-gadgets. It can turn off the water in the house when a flood sensor is triggered, turn on home mi-cameras when you leave the house, open curtains in certain time and so on and so forth.

There are 6 omnidirectional microphones on the top of the speaker, which allows the device to listen to you 360 degrees and at a distance of up to 16 meters. The speaker can be connected via Bluetooth, DLNA and Wi-Fi.

The cost of the speaker is surprising - only $ 44 in China.

Today I would like to tell you about another "smart" speaker from Xiaomi, but this time already stationary - Mi Smart Network Speaker. It boasts offline music playback over WiFi without the need to pair with a source, good sound, voice control, support for BT, DLNA, AUX and dual-band networks.
I invite everyone interested under the cat.

The device arrived from the FastTech EMS store in 10 days. For this product, only expedited mail is available for a lot of money. Foreshadowing a wave of indignation about the price, it is worth noting right away that this column is almost twice on all well-known sites without any problems. cheaper.

Package

Arrives in a regular "envelope" with a thin layer of bubble wrap.


The speaker itself comes in a red box made of thick cardboard. All information is in Chinese.


On the back there is a QR code with a link to download the proprietary application for controlling the column.


Of course, this protection is not enough and in some places the box is deformed.


We remove the lid and find a useless instruction, also in Chinese.


The interior decoration of the packaging is no-frills, like the rest of Xiaomi devices.


In addition to the speaker itself, the kit includes only a 1.4 meter power cable. To use with our sockets, an adapter or a third-party cable is required.

Appearance

  • Length - 282 mm
  • Width - 90 mm
  • Height - 95 mm
  • Weight - 1.6 kg

The design is simple and concise. Available in white only. The dust accumulating on the surface is very noticeable. The plastic to the touch is the same as that of other Xiaomi devices: line filter, organizer for wires and Mini router. On the front side there is a miniature MI logo. The speaker holes are only visible if your eyes are level with the speaker.


When viewed, for example, from above, they are no longer visible.


The sides are empty.




In the cuts at the front and backs columns may accumulate over time great amount debris, which can only be cleaned by parsing and removing the boards from the case.


The back side repeats the design of the front.


At the bottom there are AUX and USB 2.0 connectors.


And also AC for power connection.


The control panel is located in the center of the upper platform. All buttons have a soft, smooth stroke and a silent click. What we see:

  • Miniature LED indicator. Glows white when on, blinks when interacting with songs and blinks red at the time of initial setup and in case of any problems.
  • ON button. Set slightly crooked.
  • In the very center of the panel is the "Play" button.
  • Around it are four rubberized buttons for controlling song playback.
  • And at the bottom is the "CH" button, which is used to turn on the Internet radio. Also a curve.


On the bottom of the column there are anti-slip inserts and a sticker with brief characteristics devices.


Under this sticker, there are two screws that hold the bottom.


Having unscrewed them and unfastened the latches along the entire perimeter of the column, we get access to the internal socket. I am not strong in circuitry, therefore, I submit the photo to the public.














Mi Smart Network Speaker is equipped with two 2.5 ”subwoofers with a dedicated duct and two 2” main drivers.

Which for some reason were originally all in the dust.











Filling

  • Rated power: 2x10W
  • AC voltage: 100 - 240V ~ 50 / 60Hz
  • Maximum power consumption: 30W
  • Audio playback via: WiFi, USB, AUX, DLNA, QPlay
  • Frequency Response: 20 ~ 40000Hz
  • Dynamic range: 60 - 22000Hz (-6dB)
  • SNR: ≤ - 90dB / ≥ 105dB
  • WiFi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac / 2.4GHz / 5GHz
  • Bluetooth 4.1
  • CPU: Amlogic 8726M3 Cortex A9
  • Internal memory: 8GB eMMC

As you might have guessed, the device is powered exclusively from the network. Therefore, it is positioned as a home multimedia system rather than a portable speaker. The "brain" of the device is the Amlogic 8726M3 Cortex A9 chip. Distinctive feature this device is the playback of a huge number of all kinds of radio stations over WiFi. But in fact, this feature is relevant only for the Chinese themselves, tk. 99% of the streams available are streamed directly from China. Among all this horde of incomprehensible chatter, stations with foreign pop music sometimes slip through, but it is extremely difficult to find them. The blessing in branded application it is possible to create your own playlists with your music and transfer them to the speaker. I will tell you more about this and other possibilities now.
While turning on the speaker, a Chinese girl mutters something. At initial setup I thought that the column is controlled from the Mi Home application. After downloading it and adding the device, at 90% of the synchronization, the process was always interrupted. After the nth number of samples and resetting the column to the factory ones, Mi Home stopped finding the device altogether. Well, to hell with him. As it turned out later, this application simply duplicates the remote control. There are no more settings there. Therefore, it does not matter.


Then I realized that the box and the instructions indicate not the usual Mi Home at all, but a certain Mi Speaker. Looking ahead, I will say that the application is rather crooked, does not correspond to the design canons and often crashes. We scan the QR code and we are transferred to a Chinese site with a download link. The column was immediately found without any problems and the firmware update began.


Then, if you wish, we log into our Mi account and connect the column to WiFi. I connected to the 5GHz network without any problems. The user is then greeted with a three-page useless Chinese greeting. A Russian version is available on w3bsit3-dns.com, but on my and some other phones, judging by the reviews from the same w3bsit3-dns.com, it does not work.


That's it, the application is ready to go. In the "Smart device" section, you can probably combine the column with the rest of the "smart" devices. In the absence of these on this screen nothing is displayed. In "Switch devices" you switch between speakers. And in the "Upgrade" section there is a firmware update.


In the settings there is a huge variety of parameters related to playback and library.


A five-band equalizer and four presets are available.


With the alarm clock, I have not grown together. I installed it five times on different time and five times it didn't work. The opinion creeps in that he lives according to Chinese time. Disconnected it from sin away, so that inadvertently at night it would not start ringing.


Library. As I wrote earlier, a huge number of unnecessary Chinese radio stations and playlists are available out of the box. Among them, I found only two playlists with famous foreign songs. On one of them, the quality is somewhere at the level of 128 kbps. Exactly the same situation can be traced in the Chinese streams. There is such a garbage quality that blood begins to bleed from the ears. However, very few people will listen to them anyway. In order not to fool yourself with the search for songs, you can do own channel... Songs are added to it from: phone memory saved in Mi Speaker, speaker memory, as well as from Mi Music and four more Chinese online services... Preset playlists don't always start quickly. But at the time of this writing, the stream "CRI HIT FM" with foreign hits is not turned on at all. Sometimes playback may stop, but pressing Play again will normalize everything. When you press the "CH" button on the speaker's control panel, you switch between the playlists added to your favorites. When you turn on the corresponding item in the settings, the same Chinese girl will pronounce the name of the selected stream. Quite convenient. You cannot set your own name, because it picks it up immediately from the selected store. Those. chose "Phone storage", so she will say "Phone storage". Perhaps the Russified version will be different. Another interesting feature is the inclusion of a playlist by voice. We hold down the "CH" button, say the name of the required stream next to the column and it starts. There have been no problems with recognition yet, but my names are straightforward. Information about the complete voice control, but I did not find any manual for interacting with this shaitan-box. All of the above information is for WiFi playback. Once we have added everything we need to the library, and in the future the speaker is completely autonomous and can play music even when the phone is turned off. It's just not clear where all this is stored. In this case, the column memory is not clogged. 1 GB of music is added to the playlist instantly, i.e. uploading to the cloud is swept aside. Mystery.


On the player screen, you can save the current song to the "Speaker downloads" section, from where you can then add it to the playlist.

Sound

I will say right away that in my description there will be no “warm sound, tenderly caressing the auricle on a cold winter evening by the fireplace”.
When choosing, I relied only on video reviews from one wonderful foreign reviewer of portable devices. He also has a kind of all the devices he tested, in which you can "head to head" compare this or that column. But here is the impression of the subject that I got when listening to that site and what I got in reality differs markedly. There, almost every track was dominated by bass, more like a booming rumble. In fact, there is no such thing at all. Yes, and no predominance of it in principle. Yes, evaluating the sound from a video is bad manners, but in the absence of the opportunity to test the device offline, there is simply no choice. In general, let's get started. The volume is adjusted with a delay of ~ 1 sec. The adjustment step from the application is 50, and on the speaker itself - 25. I will briefly describe the impressions of some of the songs I listened to at maximum volume in flac through a cable connected to a PC.
Five Finger Death Punch - Far From Home / Five Finger Death Punch - Bad Company
In some places on the "flat" EQ, the highs are too high. It is treated with a slight adjustment. Medium and low raises no objections. The bass, as they say, is tight, there is no bubbly.
Theory of a Deadman - Santa Monica
Throughout the entire song, there are no blockages in one direction or another. Sounds pretty clean.
Bring Me The Horizon - Throne
There are no very obvious highs, like the FFDP, although there is more than a hint of screaming here. The bass also does not stick out and gives pleasant vibrations.
Nickelback - Feed the Machine
Here the bass shudders a large surrounding surface. There are no high blockages.
Avenged Sevenfold - This Means War
There are no blockages on all the tracks of this artist. Guitar cuts sound great.
Ludovico Einaudi - Fly
This masterpiece and other classics on the "flat" equalizer sounds somehow with a hum, or something. I don’t know how to put it more clearly. It is necessary to adjust the equalizer and you will get a decent sounding of all instruments. Distinct bass nicely complements the big picture.
Bob Dylan - Knockin on Heaven s Door
The bass is slightly humming. The rest of the frequencies are without distortion.
Beyond Unbroken - Under Your Skin / A Day To Remember - Violence
On a similar post-hardcore at maximum volume in the hardest parts of the song pure sound to achieve will not work. Everything starts to mix into porridge. You will have to sweat over adjusting the equalizer, if at all it will be able to change something.
Hollywood Undead - California Dreaming
Very juicy bass. The rest needs to be tweaked slightly.
Sia - Chandelier
Obvious blockage of the upper ones. I think that not every speaker is capable of playing this track cleanly.

In general, I described it as I could. The sound quality is highly dependent on the quality of the song itself, but this is obvious to everyone. For PHC and other heavy metal at maximum volume given column not the best choice... By reducing the volume to 70%, distortion can be avoided. This level is enough for me to "swing" 50 m², not to mention the maximum volume. The sound level meter on the phone showed values ​​up to 86dB. Acoustics, light rock and pop sounds good. I don't see much difference between BT, WiFi and AUX. Except that with BT sometimes some wheezing skips for ~ 0.5 sec.

Conclusion

Pros:
  • Sounds pretty good for its price
  • Strict and laconic design
  • Autonomous work on WiFi
  • WiFi, USB, AUX, DLNA playback
  • Voice control
  • Built-in memory 8GB
Minuses:
  • The slots on the case will be clogged with dust
  • At maximum volume on some tracks, everything can mix into a mess.
  • Not the best choice for heavy music
  • Crooked companion app
  • There are no normal radio stations in the normal number

Summing up, I will say that having bought this very column for my hard-earned money (let me remind you that you can find it for ~ 60 bucks), I would not be disappointed. If you need a speaker exclusively for the house with all sorts of bells and whistles for little money, then this is a good choice. However, it's up to you to decide.
Thank you all for your attention. If you missed something - write.
