Review on Smart speaker Yandex Station Mini without clock with Alice, black onyx, 10W by Wiktor Janusz ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Nightmarish quality and complete inconsistency with the description.

My worst purchase in 2022. I took this column for the nursery to include white noise, fairy tales, etc., because. tired of constantly connecting and charging the JBL speaker. As a result, all Alice can do is stupidly turn on playlists from Music. Those. on the command “Alice, turn on white noise”, she launches the “White noise” playlist, in which there are 50 tracks and they are all at different volumes, half of them last about 3 minutes and even if you decide to repeat one of them, she will do it with pauses (she doesn’t know how to play continuously), then after a certain number of repetitions she will start playing other tracks from the playlist (with pauses when switching and then louder, then quieter). It is impossible to include a specific track (long version, for example) from this playlist, it always includes a random one. In short, you will be very lucky if the child does not wake up. It happens that she just stops playing, although there are no problems with the network. I hope it will be possible to sell this misunderstanding.

Pros
  • If you have never used voice assistants, then the first time will be interesting. Responds quickly to requests (feels a little faster than Siri).
Cons
  • The sound quality is disgusting. The device cannot be controlled normally from a smartphone / PC, only by voice (and everything is bad here). In the music application on the iPhone, the column is either visible or not, it just lives its own life. Tried in different apartments with different routers (Multicast works, it's not about the router settings).
