Dingdong TOP smart speaker experience: This little guy can make all the devices in the home have their own Siri

Who says smart speakers have to stand on a table like a thermos? Earlier, the advent of Amazon Echo Dot was an alternative in the industry. It not only has a small, hockey-like appearance and a quieter speaker, but also realizes almost all the functions of the standard Echo in an extremely compact size, which surprised users.

Now, in the domestic market, the emergence of Dingdong TOP smart speaker is a product that is extremely similar to the Amazon Echo Dot product form. What kind of surprises can this small body bring to people?

The "mini version" of Ding Dong is only 5 cm tall

Like Amazon Echo Dot, Dingdong TOP smart speaker can be regarded as another hockey puck made by domestic manufacturers.

With a diameter of 108mm, the Dingdong TOP smart speaker occupies a similar area to the standard version of the first-generation Dingdong speaker, but its height is only about 5cm, which is less than 1/4 of the latter. It can be said that it can find a suitable place anywhere in the home.

The two-section design of the machine's side, which combines a polished composite material on the upper section and a thick woven mesh fabric on the lower section, makes the Dingdong TOP smart speaker look exquisite while providing as much volume space as possible for the single 1-inch full-range speaker inside. Overall, considering the extremely limited size of the speaker itself, the sound quality performance of the Dingdong TOP smart speaker is still relatively satisfactory.

At the same time, the Dingdong TOP smart speaker still maintains the same design language as the same family of products. A circle of circular light strips is set on the top of the device, which is mainly used to display the working status when awakened by voice. The operation panel surrounded by the light strip mainly uses touch to realize operations such as song playback and volume adjustment. The physical button in the center can be manually awakened by the user.

Voice assistants on standby at any time bring more possibilities to smart homes

It is worth mentioning that the official positioning of Dingdong TOP smart speaker is not exactly the same as other products with similar functions. Instead, it is more focused on the positioning of a voice intelligent assistant. Simply put, it will use AI to help you live a smarter life, and will also use AI to make those smart home products in your home that are not smart enough become smarter and easier to use.

Dingdong TOP smart speaker is indeed like the big guy in the family. It can help you do many things just by moving your mouth, from voice song ordering, checking weather, catering, and express delivery information, to finding children's stories for children and interpreting ancient Chinese texts and poems. Basically, all the latest information you need to obtain through Internet search engines can be obtained through human-computer chat.

In addition, thanks to the 7+1 microphone matrix design inside the machine, the Dingdong TOP smart speaker can also suppress noise very well, further enhancing the voice sensitivity for sound source positioning and far-field recognition.

In the actual experience of (official account:), based on 3-4 people chatting at a normal speaking volume in daily life, in a half indoor environment with an area of ​​about 20 square meters, the Dingdong TOP smart speaker has a 100% recognition accuracy rate for all voice commands used in different directions, and while the product itself is playing music, it can still be awakened by voice to give feedback. The stable performance is impressive.

Of course, the more practical aspect of the Dingdong TOP smart speaker is that it can be connected and combined with many smart home products. With the support of JD.com's Weilian platform, this little guy allows you to use voice to control air conditioners, TVs, lights, sockets, refrigerators, purifiers, humidifiers, curtains, water heaters and many other commonly used home products.

This means that even if the smart home products you purchased earlier can only be operated with a mobile phone app and have not yet supported voice functions, the Dingdong TOP smart speaker will be a powerful supplement to its voice control function, which can be said to be that all the devices in the home are equipped with their own Siri.

For example, for smart TV products, after connecting to the Internet, the content resources and gameplay of the large-screen TV are already quite rich. However, for the elderly who are relatively unfamiliar with the operation of smart products but often watch TV, it may not be easy to find the TV series to watch first. The Dingdong TOP smart speaker works with the smart TV to find programs by speaking, which is obviously much more convenient and user-friendly.

Its compact size and comprehensive functions are undoubtedly the core product value that the Dingdong TOP smart speaker can convey. Coupled with its official price of 399 yuan, it has reason to help many consumers who are still on the sidelines about smart speakers to open the door to smart life as soon as possible.
