Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

The column was bought in order to put music to the child in the morning and fairy tales in the evening, and it fits perfectly for this role. Vertinsky, Amon Amarth, Nine Inch Nails, Mahler, Lund Quartet, Kaleida, Gojira, "Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves" with Tabakov - everything sounds acceptable, and in some places even not bad.

I can’t say anything about the functionality of a smart home.

In terms of sound, there is still a lot to improve, for example, offer more equalizer bands in the application, or already make a parametric equalizer (well, you can dream? ). Let's hope that we will see some improvements in sound quality and / or its customization options with ates.

And yet, already in its current form, it is unconditionally the best speaker in terms of sound.

Pros

1. Compared to previous models of . stations - the most "smooth" and full-fledged sound. Finally, there is no buzzing subbass, pounding bass and "ticking" top, everything is more or less decent. If you are an infernal audiophile who wants to buy such a device with Alice and music, this is your choice. Listening is not disgusting, which is already an excellent result. 2. The ability to automatically adjust the sound to the characteristics of the room. 3. The ability to equalize sound in the application. 4. Compact - compared to the max version - size. 5. Excellent volume for this size, enough for a 15-, 20-meter room with a margin. 6. Cool diode socket on top. Moreover, the backlight during music playback can be turned off, for which special thanks. 7. Supports 5GHz WiFi networks. 8. Can be connected via Bluetooth. But then autocorrect audio doesn't work. But the equalizer remains. 9. There is a separate night light mode.

Cons

1. In terms of sound - a certain "chewing" is felt, that is, post-processing makes itself felt. Although, probably, this should not be regarded as a minus, if you keep in mind the full functionality of the device and its cost. 2. Cool diode socket - on top. To see it, it makes sense to put the column as close as possible to the height of the chest, not higher. 3. Once every 3-4 days, Alice "hears" her name when no one pronounces it, and somehow tries to react to it. That is, either an array of microphones or a neural network does not work quite correctly. But not critical.
