ForewordThere are a lot of wireless speaker products on the market today. Whether it is a Bluetooth speaker or a WiFi speaker, the configuration is getting higher and higher and the functions are more and more. With the different brands, the price difference is also huge. From a personal point of view, for a Bluetooth speaker, the first is to be compatible, you can connect different brands of equipment and can use it normally, and second, the sound quality is better, for their own speakers is not used to buy Simply listen to a sound. As for the value of color, it is a bonus item, and the individual is more concerned with actual performance and practicality.
      Just after the crowd raised the Elvis Presley, as an Elvis produced by the original wood material handmade retro radio, in addition to can be used to listen to FM radio, but also a Bluetooth speaker, Bluetooth and AUX connection playback, highlights addition Still using solid wood material design, and then that small size.

Elvis Little Prince (The Little Prince) volume only 926556mm, the design is not square, but is relatively flat around the bottom, slightly arched top. The wooden part of the machine is very smooth, without any burr. Corners are also designed to prevent bumps, and the corners are all rounded and simple ( the picture below does not adjust the contrast ) .
For the official announcement of the solid wood material design, individuals can only confirm that the shell is not some black heart manufacturers patch up to pretend to be wooden speakers, we can not directly determine from the weight to solid wood material. Most of the better wooden speakers will use MDF MDF. Most people like wooden speakers, no matter how high the density of wood and good playback effect, reduce the problem of resonance and get more real sound. However, at the same time, the solid wood material is susceptible to cracking after being exposed to moisture, and it is inferred that the dividing line of the Elvis Presley surface is not only designed for beauty.
The knobs, horns, and indicator lights are all designed in front. From the design point of view, there is the taste of the radio that was played as a child.
      First come to recognize the main radio function. The three black knobs are the knobs. The largest knob labeled with the band is used for manual searching. Right and wrong, there is no one-key search function. After all, it is retro.
Radio FM radio listening , the frequency band is the common 87-108MHz . However, before listening, you need to rotate the switch knob in the lower right side from the OFF state to the FM mode. This knob is highly damped, requires a little force for operation, and can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise 360 degrees. The other two modes are the AUX and Bluetooth modes. Which mode to use requires manual selection.
      In contrast, the volume adjustment damping on the left side is much smaller, but this can only be rotated clockwise.
The FM section has a background light that looks beautiful at night and is convenient for FM operation.
The Elvis Presley uses a 5W power horn. The grille on the left side can't directly see the interior. Instead, it has a layer of material similar to sound-absorbing cotton. It should be used to reduce the reflected wave, increase the effective space of the cabinet and reduce the resonance. Frequency, more careful in the details of the design. As for the status indicator, the recessed round hole above the “ The Little Prince †font in the lower left corner .
The lights are white, orange, and green, and can be clearly seen even during the day, corresponding to the Bluetooth mode, AUX mode, and FM mode , respectively .
Another thing to note is that Elvis Presley has no separate AUX interface. Instead, it uses a USB/AUX interface design and comes with a dedicated line of MicroUSB- to- USB interface and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The maximum length is about 35 centimeters. As for the part of the square shutter on the right side, what do you think is the use? Is it simple or inverted?
From the exterior design, most people cannot directly determine what the purpose is, because there is no round or square hole design that can be seen at a glance.
The Elvis Presley uses a 1000mAh battery, and with a 1.35A power adapter, it takes about 2 hours and 20 minutes to automatically shut down from low battery to full charge ( green light ) .
It was originally thought that the screws on the bottom four rubber feet were removed and the speaker could be disassembled with the back. However, after the demolition, it has nothing to do with dismantling. The in-cell attachment of the back and the body is relatively fine in workmanship because the tools are limited and cannot be dismantled.
Let's experience the FM , Bluetooth and AUX functions below .
For the radio feature, compare the landscape E19 ( with the original AUX audio cable ) . In the manual adjustment knob, the indicator will turn green when the radio signal is stable. Outdoors, the difference between the two in the Taiwan search effect and sound quality is not great, the sound is relatively clear, the number of radio stations is the same. However, in the room, the Elvis Presley was in the same position as the landscape E19 . There were three stations that had disturbances, and the landscape E19 was able to listen to the program clearly and clearly. However, the landscape E19 with AUX audio line antenna, signal reception capabilities may have more advantages.
      Because the main radio is retro, so do not think about a key search, automatically save this feature. However, personal feel knob damping is still slightly larger, while there is no non-slip type of stripe design on the knob, sweating is easy to slip.
Individuals do not like this type of USB/AUX design. Because of concern that the sound quality will be reduced, it will definitely be affected. By comparing several audition songs in AUX mode and Bluetooth mode, they also confirmed their concerns. Although the included patch cord allows the device to play in AUX mode while charging , personal use is minimal. If I really need to listen to music while charging, I will definitely use Bluetooth mode. However, there is such a feature that may satisfy some people's AUX connection use requirements.
      The Bluetooth chip used by Elvis Presley is CSR 8615 ( Bluetooth 4.0) , but this chip does not support APTX , with little regret. Listen directly with ASUS ZENFONE ZOOM .
The common commonality of CSR Bluetooth chips is that compatibility with different devices is good, and the problem of connection and use is not significant.
In the actual test, the Elvis Presley opened to the maximum volume with the ASUS ZENFONE ZOOM maximum volume mode, and the continuous playback time was about 6 hours and 34 minutes. In the process of hearing the speaker, it was found that occasionally the song played intermittently, which lasted about 3-6 seconds. Non-mobile phones or speakers with low battery power are not the reason for the song's sound quality.
Next, according to the actual effect of the sound quality part of the actual audition based on the actual evaluation results, due to differences in human equipment, based on my limited ability to express language, select a few representative songs to comment. The following content is for reference only.
Let's talk about vocal performance. From the perspective of several Bluetooth speakers or WiFi speakers that have played FM functions or Internet radio , one common feature is that they are all superior in terms of vocal performance. They are mellow and sound very comfortable. The same Elvis Presley also has this feature, excellent analytical power. Taking Zhao Peng's "Katyusha" and "Grandma's Penghu Bay" as an example, the sound is not boring, the words are clear, there is no sense of slamming, and the performance is relatively good. Tsai Chin's "Moonlight Serenade" will not disappoint you for listeners who like to listen to frogs and barking, because they can all be easily expressed. As for the nine frogs, they do not have to deliberately count. However, for these powerful singers, one of the songs in the audition can not be ignored, that is, the sound of breathing can be clearly heard. In the case of "High-tone Kitchen Sound Domain Test", there is no broken sound or sharpness, and it is possible to fluently and truly restore the vocalist's hard work. " Hurricane2000 " has a relatively strong sense of rhythm. It has a better display for different musical instruments and has a better sense of hierarchy. There is no such kind of mixed sense of chaos. It is quite shocking; LinkinPark " Lots in the Echo " " Bleed it out " is in rhythm On the light, vocal and instrument separation is better, and they are not doped together. The instrument sounded a good vocalist's voice and it sounded more comfortable. On the whole, the Elvis Presley’s performance on vocals is relatively stable, and it can meet the audition needs of most people.
In contrast, the performance of individuals at high frequencies is relatively stable, although there is no sharpness or burr sense, but the resolving power is general. Take Mouté's Violin SOLO1 as an example. In the tone, the hurry to slow the natural smooth transition, especially at the end of the latter half of the multi-instrument coordination concert, there is no confusion, the performance is still solid and stable. However, although Badinerie has a strong sense of rhythm, the overall transformation is quick and natural without dragging, but it is slightly boring and impenetrable. The performance of “Jasmine Blossom†sounds relatively crisp and cheerful, and the switching and restoration of different musical instruments are accurately in place. A natural and smooth feeling. Personal feeling is more suitable for a guzheng instrument.
Low-frequency part of the dive is not deep, slightly boring but not a sense of rudder, transient performance is more stable and stable. In the "Sad City" and " 2001 A Space Odyssey", the low sound of the opening instrument can be restored, switching naturally smoothly without dragging, and the bass is slightly noticeable. "Drum poetry" drum sounds a little boring, not clear, giving a sense of percussion is not strong sense of strength, but the latter half of dense drums and drum sounds do not mix with the muddy sense.
Experience summary      For the Elvis Presley Prince, personally designed for its retro radio, whether it is operating experience or search and listen to the radio is not too much disappointment. Pure wood design is not just to enhance the value and feel, but also important to the sound of a certain auxiliary promotion effect. In addition, the speaker function is a bonus item, and Bluetooth and AUX functions are also available as common connection methods. But on the actual use of point of view, Micro USB to 3.5mm design, personal feeling practicality is not high, it is better to add a TF card slot supports local playback.
      The above is an in-depth experience of Elvis Presley, and I hope to bring some reference content to you.
