Review on Smart speaker Yandex Station 2 with Alice, black anthracite, 30W by Jnis Ginters ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It is better not to buy it, the product is not what it should be.

Bought on pre-order. Of course, there was no opportunity to listen live anywhere. And I was completely disappointed. The sound is quiet, there are almost no low frequencies and the equalizer setting is not particularly fixable. Of the advantages compared to the first generation, only the presence of a zigbee hub can be called. But that's if you need it. Rejecting the need for zigbee, it loses even to the first column. I'm not talking about Max at all. IMHO a bunch of station mini + external acoustics is preferable and a better combination. Why the price tag is two and a half times more than for the Mini is not clear. Better take Mini or if finances allow - Max. And the second station is neither fish nor meat.

Pros
  • zigbee support.
Cons
  • Quiet sound, almost no low frequencies. Such musical instruments as the bass guitar are not audible at all. Example, alice in chains - nutshell. The sound is flat and whatever you do with the equalizer or turning off the sound correction. Any guitar sounds do not cause any emotions, nothing at all. It sounds better than a phone, but in terms of quality, I would put it as with portable speakers. Moreover, jbl extreme 4 sounds better than station 2, but costs almost half as much as it. There are no connectors, so there is no way to fix it. For playback in a small room, in principle, it is normal, but as an option for a party it is completely unsuitable - too quiet. Its maximum is a room of ~15 squares. Taking it out into the street, frying kebabs in the country to the music - will not work. Unless you keep it next to you. Its limit is music in a room no more than 15-18 squares.
