Product experience: not all LED bulbs and speakers are perfect

Tencent digital news, most of the built-in speaker LED smart bulb is still in an awkward position: the price is not cheap, but the sound quality is not as good as a few hundred dollars Bluetooth speaker.

With the development of the Internet of things, the integration of more and more products appear, such as integrated camera and Hub function of the smart home center, or integrated air monitoring function of the security camera. There is a very interesting device is the LED smart bulbs can play music, so the lighting and speaker together, whether it is a good idea or experience similar practical joke? Take a look at the experience of foreign media in which four products.

1 AwoX Striimlight

AwoX Striimlight price of about $100 (about 640 yuan), the price is slightly expensive. It can be controlled by a remote control or a mobile phone applications, at any time to change the light color, color temperature, flicker frequency, brightness is 420 lumens. Of course, it can also play music, connect to the phone via Bluetooth, enable the application. In terms of sound quality, do not expect a lot of bass, but its overall balance is satisfactory, loud enough, and the quality is better than the general mono.

However, the shortcomings of AwoX Striimlight is that the application design is complex, the connection performance is not stable enough, there will always be less than the case of mobile phone search, which greatly affects its use experience.

2 IAV LightSpeaker

IAV LightSpeaker is a sturdy look slightly LED lighting, the price is $350 (about 2230 yuan). However, it should be noted that it uses the design of spotlights, need to be installed on the ceiling, rather than the general lighting interface.

IAV LightSpeaker has a 480 lumens brightness, but the best part is the speaker sound quality is very outstanding, can produce bright, detailed, rich sound effects, and its expensive price.

3 MiPow Playbulb

The design of the light bulb can be easily applied to the standard lamp interface, but also one of the first to support the speaker of the LED bulb, the price of $80 (about 510 yuan). It has only 200 lumens brightness, can change the color, but in general is more suitable as a bedroom night light, but can not afford the living room lighting needs.

MiPow Playbulb only supports iOS, access to Apple's music playlist, for iOS users is still very convenient. As for the quality, the price of the problem, basically only in the low price of the speaker level, not enough to deal with the general music player.

4 Sengled Pulse

Sengled Pulse is also a cheaper price of the speaker bulb, for $70 (about 445 yuan). It can support ordinary lamps, the brightness of 600 lumens (does not support the regulation of color), is the brightest of the four bulbs, can achieve very good lighting effects. But on the other hand, the sound quality is not too much to boast of part of the stereo separation is not obvious, the lack of details of the music, the effect is disappointing.

Summary

Through the above experience can be seen, most of the built-in speaker LED smart bulb is still in an awkward position: the price is not cheap, but the sound quality is not as good as a few hundred dollars Bluetooth speaker. At the same time, part of the model is subject to the design of integrated speakers, but reduce the lighting performance; and the sound quality of the model, the volume is huge, inconvenient installation. It seems that the most sensible way is to buy traditional smart bulbs, coupled with a wireless speaker, to be able to get a good experience.
