Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

Stylish high quality speaker. With good potential for smart home. Alisa is out of competition as a voice assistant in 2022. For music, you need something else (so far, HomePod is out of competition)

Pros
  • I didn’t buy it for music (the speaker’s sound is mediocre, and transferring playlists from other ecosystems is not entirely trivial, and music management in general in . Music is 4-, although ’s recommendation engine is excellent. But if their Navigator analyzed my music in car for the last 3 years, it would be strange otherwise, otherwise, how could Alice have slipped me half of the songs from another music service right after the first start? ))). I bought it for a smart home - because of the presence of zigbee (more on that later). Connection is easy. Powered by type-c, which is a big plus for me (later this plus was devalued by the inability to use my own cable). Design is great. Especially the backlight. Just fire. There is attention to detail. Now about smart home. Disappointments: there are 2 of them. 1) my LG TV, except to turn it off (you can’t even turn it on ! ) and turn up the volume - I couldn’t do anything through Alice. 2) Zigbee - for face value, there are too few supported devices without integration with their gateways. It is better to take devices on wi-fi for now. On Wi-Fi, everything works decently, stably, albeit slowly (but this is not Alice\'s problem). I will wait for the expansion of the supported Zigbee devices. I bought supported sensors - I will test further. I bought a smart remote control. He partially corrected the situation. Even YouTube is included on LG smart TV. BUT - somehow you need to teach Alice to process scenarios when voice queries contain the words "youtube", "", "Amazon" and the like. Alice does not include prefixes, services or menu items in my systems named in this way, confusing them with external services or resources. It seems that you can just fix it, but - ? Or suggest a normal synonym for YouTube, , Amazon, etc. :) Even when hdmi-Cec support is enabled on all devices, turning the TV on and off through the remote control may not be correct.
Cons
  • did not allow me to subscribe to this column. Split only. Without explanation of the reasons - like, temporarily unavailable / impossible. Disappointments: there are 2 of them. 1) my LG TV, except to turn it off and turn up the volume, could not do anything through Alice. 2) Zigbee - for face value, there are too few supported devices without their gateways. It is better to take devices on wi-fi. Arrived Where not expected. I wanted to connect the speaker with my cable and power supply. But no. vs. The column turns on, but Alice turns on the ultimatum and lights up red - "Connect the power supply that comes with the kit. " This is a fiasco.

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

In general, I am happy with the purchase, I already recognize a smart home. With its pros: Better marusi in everything (experience using marusi 6 months) With its cons: It can show little on the display, only three effects (candle, lamp, equalizer bubbles) The package came crumpled, I took it for myself, if it were not very good for a gift, I would return it.

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

The main negative is that when buying on YANDEX MARKET, it was impossible to choose a color in pre-order. So how is it guys? It's also important. And only anthracite was available for order. And on the site there are such beautiful advertisements with different colors. Technical support said that "what they put it will be. " Actually anthracite. Arrived without problems, all intact, all anthracite. Happy with the purchase despite the color. Two alice are better than one.

Pros
  • Easier to set up than the first one. Able to work in tandem with the old one. The application is sensible, the whole smart home moved without problems (almost had to be re-attached, but without problems). There is an equalizer that can adapt to the room. The column is smaller. The top panel with "light music". More responsive than the first, it is better to switch to a whisper. I suspect that the kids will be better able to recognize. Beautiful packaging. Straight pretty. But the first one was good too.
Cons
  • Zigby works, but in order to bind to Alice 2 as a hub, you will have to reset everything. The sound is noticeably quieter. (Is it necessary? Never turned on the old one at 10) When you try to increase the volume from the panel when playing in pairs in the room adjustment mode, the speaker falls out of the pair and quiets down. Pretty sloppy set. If only the stickers were pushed, as before with . money cards. What for this light music? So I didn't understand. Well, let it be.

Well, firstly, this is a product, no matter how cool it is, it’s good in itself, and a chat with support and stability in comparison with Chinese devices. For me, the main purpose of the purchase was the same Zigbee hub. And so far everything is more than good. Devices are added very quickly even if mx is not in the list. Everyone is friends with Alice. Good communication with support. An additional work scenario is like a column in the kitchen. In a nutshell about the sound, I’ll say right…

Pros
  • 1. Sound, 2. Appearance, 3. Functions, 4. Zigbee, 5. Type c, .
Cons
  • 1. Band sound, 2. DISGUSTING YANDEX DELIVERY.

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

There is no way to combine commands, for example: "Alice, turn the volume up to 7 and turn on the music. " the reaction will be only on the last command. There are not enough column operation scenarios, more precisely, there is only one: Do not disturb mode - and no more extras. settings. And how cool it would be to go home, say: "Alice, I'm at home, " and she turned on both the light and the music. But, either the development department hasn’t thought of it yet, or it’s too difficult to…

Pros
  • Always at hand. Can answer almost any question. Automatic backlight adjustment. It can fit into any interior. The ability to control music through the . Music application. Smart home control with voice commands
Cons
  • Without a permanent power source and/or internet, the speaker becomes useless.

Great product, a pleasure to use.

There were unnecessary problems and an extra waste of time to solve them. We bought it to get rid of unnecessary actions, and as a result, we only solve problems . OURSELVES. * after the TV module was ated, the problem was gone, the review was changed to five stars When the column is without glitches, I am COMPLETELY satisfied with it. Cool thing!

Pros
  • Good sound. Cool stuff!
Cons
  • Alice is primitive and impudent. For dialogue, do not consider at all. Turns off the music for no reason . I ask why the music turned off, but it is "not in my repertoire" . yes, now it's funny to you, but in reality it's not at all . it infuriates. Stopped responding to the "next" command when playing music. Recently they made a tandem with a module . the TV is turned off at this moment, which she does incomprehensibly. BUT, when the module is disconnected from the socket, this command is again obeyed. No support! For this reason, I do not recommend buying. No one will solve your problems if they arise. I write in the void. . nobody is answering! * Added and changed the five-star review on 11/08/22. After auto-ating the TV module, the problem on the column has not yet recurred. Thank you. I hope there will be no more glitches.

Package. It appears like someone not only paid attention to how Apple packages their products but also spent a great deal of care to the packaging itself; as a result, unpacking Apple products is now a pleasant experience:) Got pros: This is the second column featuring Alice; the first one featured a mini-version of GEN2 instead. It was necessary to connect more speakers to the first one; as a result of these additional speakers, the first speaker does not hear very well when you focus your…

Great product, a pleasure to use.

The item was purchased as a present for a buddy, and I am also conveying the benefits and drawbacks from his words. I can vouch for the fact that the product is of very excellent quality and serves multiple purposes on my end. Its quality justifies the price.

I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

if you don't have anything from the ecosystem, then for you it will be like a column that can turn on a song by name. To which you would remark, it's convenient, but for this money it was popular to add an HDMI input, which is not awful but may be silly at times.

I will never repeat this purchase.

I took it without thinking and did not study the possibilities of this column. Friends have the first station, I thought this one had the same opportunities. Now I don’t know how to return

I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

Yes, maybe there’s a nitpick to the sound - a smart speaker, etc. , but for 17k it’s worse to get sound than on a jbl flip for 6k .

Pros
  • Stylish, cool touchpad
Cons
  • Threesome sound For this price, jbl, marshall and harmann speakers sound an order of magnitude higher

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average quality, not an outstanding product.

Disappointed, for 17 thousand they could somehow provide for a connection to a TV, and not force them to buy a separate module. A toy, without which it is quite normal. Without an appropriate ecosystem, you will get bored after 1 hour of interaction.

A useless product, it's not worth the money.

- Disappointed With its pros: - Packing quality - quality of materials - Speed ​​settings - Microphone sensitivity - Speed ​​of response to requests. Has some cons: - quiet sound, little bass (there are almost none) - with this in mind, the price of 16990r is very high.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

An excellent device, if you know why, or just music lovers, you listen to music more often with it, because two phrases and a sound are already in the room Different pros: The sound for a small speaker is amazing, jbl fans will not like it without bass farting, the top design is like an ice panel, an excellent conversationalist with a huge baggage of functions. With its cons: Bass is not enough, especially for jbl sound lovers, but without resonances

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

Different pros: Plays great, recognizes the voice better, even if you speak through a couple of walls. Cons below: Sometimes it is difficult to hit the keys, instead of switching the track (swipe left / right), for some reason an increase / decrease in volume is registered.
