When BOSE Revolve meets SONY LF-S80D, which one is your favorite?

When it comes to BOSE and SONY, all friends who have used their products give them a thumbs up. The two big brands have launched numerous refreshing audio devices based on their respective experience and technology accumulated in the industry.

Today, BOSE's SoundLink Revolve and SONY's LF-S80D collide with each other. What kind of sparks will be produced?

1. In the context of a society that values ​​appearance, who is the darling of the appearance association?

When you put the two together, wow! Why is there such a big difference in size? The compact BOSE SoundLink Revolve is more portable and can be used in any environment, while the huge SONY LF-S80D is more like a home decoration, which can add a festive touch to your home.

The operation keys are placed on the top, but the soft rubber covering the top of BOSE SoundLink Revolve adds a touch of skin-friendliness, and the operation keys are push-buttons with full feedback; while the top of SONY LF-S80D is smooth plastic, and the touch operation method is sensitive and smooth. SONY LF-S80D also has a colorful light strip, which is undoubtedly a plus in the eyes of the appearance association. The most attractive light strip of SONY LF-S80D not only tells you: I am working. It can also display the volume. The volume of BOSE SoundLink Revolve can only be judged by feeling without the phone.

In terms of the audio interface area, SONY LF-S80D and BOSE SoundLink Revolve have their own advantages. The connection method of BOSE SoundLink Revolve is relatively simple, so the opening area is much smaller than that of SONY LF-S80D. Because of the different power supply methods, the lower end of SONY LF-S80D also has an additional power interface.

The difference is obvious when the two are upside down. The bottom contact charging contacts of BOSE SoundLink Revolve make charging more diverse and convenient. The addition of 1/4 screw holes allows it to adapt to more diverse usage environments. The SONY LF-S80D tells you directly: I am a home speaker. Who else but me for the home environment?

In fact, in terms of appearance, the first impression of SONY LF-S80D is more eye-catching than that of BOSE. Although it is relatively large in size, its gorgeous appearance makes fans want to take it home at first sight.

2. Whose black technology is the most popular?

1. Principle of sound generation

SoundLink Revolve features high-fidelity 360-degree omnidirectional sound that provides consistent sound coverage from all angles. Place the speaker in the center of the room so that sound reaches everyone equally. Or place the speaker close to a wall so that sound radiates and reflects in all directions in the room, completely immersing you.

How does it do this?

The Revolve series consists of three parts in terms of acoustic structure: two passive diaphragms on the top, a full-range sound unit facing downward, and an omnidirectional sound reflector at the bottom. Its sound-generating principle is actually the dual-membrane resonance technology: two passive diaphragms are placed in the speaker, and the cone sound unit is used to push the air inside the speaker to push the two vertically placed passive membranes to enhance the low-frequency performance of the speaker.

The sound holes radiate 360° to all directions, creating a surround sound effect without dead angles, bringing users a more pleasant and higher quality listening experience than conventional smart speakers. The SONY LF-S80D inherits Sony's decades of professional technology in the audio field and is equipped with a double-sided amplifier. The sound is transmitted from any corner of the room, allowing you to listen to the same high-quality sound from any angle.

As a brand preferred by Chinese users , Sony conducted some surveys on Chinese consumers during the R&D stage. The results showed that Chinese consumers prefer clear human voices when using smart speakers, so Sony has put a lot of effort into the sound quality of the LF-S80D. The unique two-way sound system in the body allows a 61mm low-frequency unit and a 48mm full-frequency unit to perform their respective functions, ensuring that the bass and mid-high frequencies do not interfere with each other in sound production. Combined with a strong magnetic circuit, the sound in each range is purer and clearer. The feeling of having a voice conversation with it is more like a chat between two people.

One listen to distinguish the authenticity:

When both of them play "You Are My Sunshine" at the same time, the SONY LF-S80D performs more realistically and thoroughly in terms of vocals, and the surround effect gives you an immersive feeling, but the excessive attention to vocals makes me feel that the bass is a bit thin and the impact on the heart is not strong enough. SoundLink Revolve performs better in bass, so its surround sound effect is stronger.  

When Zhong Weiqiang's "Rolling In The Deep" sounded, the excellent vocal performance of SONY LF-S80D allowed you to feel the power of rock, and you could also hear Zhong Weiqiang's voice full of vicissitudes of life and his passion for music. However, the bass of SoundLink Revolve was a bit too strong, but the sound lost details.

2. Each has its own connection cheats

After looking at the previous connection area, you can clearly feel the difference between the two. The Mico USB interface of SoundLink Revolve can not only be charged, but also because of the addition of audio decoding function, it can be directly connected to computer devices for use as a wired decoding speaker; the 3.5mm headphone interface can be directly connected to computer devices as a computer speaker. In addition to being able to connect to the Internet, SONY LF-S80D can also connect to Bluetooth. If you want it to work independently in the room, just insert a micro SD card.

3. Under the banner of AI, everyone shows their sincerity.

BOSE SoundLink Revolve "never relies on mobile phone": download the Bose APP on your mobile phone. If your phone has NFC function, you can turn on the Bluetooth and NFC functions of your mobile phone. Just connect the NFC identification area of ​​the mobile phone to the top of SoundLink Revolve. It is very simple. If your mobile phone does not have NFC function, you need to connect it with Bluetooth and the process of connecting Bluetooth devices is the same as usual. After connecting your phone, you no longer need to worry about not having your phone with you. You can still make reservations or send text messages without your phone. You can summon Siri and other voice assistants by simply pressing and holding the multi-function button. The problem is easily solved. The Chinese voice is not very pleasant, and voice packages will be provided in the future so that users can choose their favorite voice services.

SONY LF-S80D "Join hands with iFLYTEK to provide the ultimate experience of perfect human voice": Download the "Smart Speaker" APP on your mobile phone and complete the pairing. Just shout "dingdong, dingdong" to wake up the smart speaker. Just say the command, it will give you the answer you need with a pleasant human voice, set calendar events, set alarms, play music, and if you have smart home products at home, then LF-S80D can also take care of your life in every possible way. In actual use, the recognition rate reaches 90%. Don't be stupid and say, "Dingdong, dingdong. Pour me a glass of water." Then you just wait and be thirsty! After all, the current smart home is not yet able to cooperate with SONY LF-S80D to complete such a difficult task.

In actual practice, we found that the smart services provided by SONY LF-S80D are beyond the reach of BOSE SoundLink Revolve. Because of the addition of Ding Dong, SONY LF-S80D can not only complete the basic functions of voice assistants such as Siri, but also complete the control of smart home, express delivery query, create your favorite playlists for automatic playback, order food through Pizza Hut APP, and read books to you...

Therefore, in the comparison of intelligence, SONY LF-S80D is better, and the Dingdong platform is constantly connecting to more third-party applications, which also allows SONY LF-S80D to provide us with more and smarter services in the future.

In the face of trends and traditions, both SONY and BOSE, two industry giants, have made very beautiful responses, not only inheriting traditional technology, but also paying tribute to the AI ​​trend. The BOSE SoundLink Revolve, priced at 1,898 yuan, and the SONY LF-S80D, priced at 1,899 yuan, are only one yuan different in price, so it can be said that each takes what they need. Friends who like the outdoors can consider the BOSE SoundLink Revolve, a small sound bar, and go on an outing on the weekend to enjoy the joy of music in nature. Friends who like to stay at home can consider the SONY LF-S80D, which is more suitable for home. While enjoying the sun alone in the afternoon, you can also pull the SONY LF-S80D to entertain and relieve boredom, and feel the joy brought by music.
