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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe Ill buy it again.

Controversial moments: the volume for many will be low, I have enough for background music at home; the sensor is not as convenient as the wheel, but it looks better; there is no clock in front, it was very convenient, more useful than the light panel, for sure, which, with all your desire, you no longer notice from 3-4 meters. In terms of sound, I compare it with a large hompod, which has a standard for 18 thousand spent at one time. Here at the level of a small hompod. The same jbl charge 4 is much louder, it can be seen that the power of the station went to “sound leveling” Uncomfortable volume steps. For me 4 is not enough, 5 is too much. ate: we managed to “twist” the sound with the equalizer, it works stably. Automation still does not work for several actions per station, only the first one works. It hears well, but if you do not pause after the activation command, it dulls and waits for a few more seconds to review. I turned off the lightbar during playback, it's useless if it's not half a meter away from you.

Pros
  • Assistant, good microphones, responds quickly to requests (large hompod is slower), for me the design is better than the first versions
Cons
  • Flat sound, not enough bass, useless light panel, which you admire in the first hour after turning on, and then you score, after the first use of the smart home automation script, it stopped working correctly. Another dampness from in this regard. After pausing the music and restarting it, there is a dullness for 10-15 seconds. Now all together: 1. Non-working automation of the station for several actions on it. Only the first one works 2. If you put the music on pause, and then turn it on, then it can take up to 60 seconds until it starts playing (I spotted it) 3. The problem of the old first station and all the speakers with Alice remains: it “loses” the music and abruptly turns on the next track (at the same time, as in the second case, there are no problems with a pause, curiously, it happens less often than on the old ones, but still happens), but “ NOT stations" just stopped playback. I changed two routers, now the station is generally on 5GHz WiFi. (Only happened a couple of times) 4. When you turn on or switch the track, the first second is sometimes “eaten” 5. During playback, it can sometimes “stutter” for a fraction of a second several times in a row. Similarly, with automatic transition to the next song. The first seconds the sound lags wildly, stutters. It is observed when playing music for a long time. After a reboot, the problem goes away for a while.
