The original can play so Onkyo C100 speaker evaluation

Unboxing the Onkyo C100 smart speaker, in addition to exquisite speaker shows, in addition, finally sold a closed hole, dug a pit, mentioned it is very interesting. As for how interesting the Onkyo C100 is, it differs from ordinary Bluetooth portable speakers. This time, Xiao Bian talks about it.



Let's briefly review the appearance characteristics of the Onkyo C100. It is a compact portable speaker. At present, it is only a black color version, so it looks relatively low-key, but clever irregular design and back shape, it makes it appear Very stylish.


Onkyo C100's body size is 184mm (length) × 63mm (width) × 62mm (height), weighing about 500g, from the above with a 5.5-inch screen, a plus 3 mobile phone can be seen C100 is very small, but in hand The weight in it is not light, to a certain extent, that the material inside is enough.


WiFi mode indicator is green, blue when connected

The Onkyo C100 did not find the indicator light in the real shot photos from all angles. It was only discovered after the power on. The original indicator light is hidden under the metal mesh cover, and there is one left and right one. The indicator light is based on the working status and the color is changed. The advantage of this design is intuitive, but Xiao Bian can't help but think about it: The light is really ugly.

The WiFi speaker also played some of them, ecologically speaking there are roughly three kinds. One is to completely do their own ecological ecology, such as Sony, Libratone and other relatively high-end foreign speaker brands, their dedicated App software generally does not provide resources, or resources, often require users to install third-party music, radio App .

One is the Jingdong camp. For example, this Onkyo C100 uses the DingDong smart speaker app related to JD. It uses a combination of music platforms and has rich resources, and can be linked with other smart hardware in JD Micro.

There is the Alibaba camp, such as Edifier and Philips smart speakers belong to this camp. Like Jingdong, it also formed a smart hardware ecosystem.


The above photos of Onkyo C100 and Edifier MA1 are similar WiFi portable speaker products, but belong to different camps.

Let's take a look at the DingDong smart speaker of the Onkyo C100. It is produced by DingDong and is a smart speaker app for the JD.com camp. However, there are still very few models that can be supported at present.


DingDong smart speakers are available for Android and iOS clients. You can log in using your mobile phone number or log in directly with your Jingdong Mall account.


Onkyo C100's connection settings are very simple, like a mobile phone directly fill in the WiFi password to complete the connection. It should be noted that the Onkyo C100 only supports WiFi in the 2.4GHz band, so the 2.4GHz SSID must be selected when connecting the mobile phone to the router. Otherwise, it may not work properly.


DingDong smart speaker App's simple interface, it mainly has three major functions, one product manual, describes how to use voice commands (only introduction, voice functionality does not require App support); Second, smart home linkage control; third is music playback control.

In addition, the App currently supports only four speakers, including two DingDong speakers, and the remaining two are the JBL GO and Onkyo C100. Their intelligent voice technology comes from DingDong.



Take a look at the intelligent voice function of Onkyo C100. Press the voice button on the speaker when you use it. Then speak the command and the speaker will recognize and execute. Voice commands can be used to play music, search for songs, broadcast radio stations on demand, search for frequently used information, and communicate easily. It is similar to Apple Siri, or Android phone voice, but the Onkyo C100 is more inclined to music playback.

Simply talk about Onkyo C100's smart voice function experience

1. The voice function can only be used in the WiFi networking mode 2. The voice recognition rate is high, as long as it is not a dialect that is too heavy or ambiguous, and there is no problem with password recognition.
3, the implementation of the basic instructions is OK, such as play / stop, volume, song name, singer name search song is very good use. Searching by music category will cause some problems. For example, if you want to listen to rock music, you can play random rock music, but if you want to listen to classical music, you usually want to play the song with the word “classical” in the name instead of playing it. Classical music.
4, on-demand news, in accordance with science and technology, sports, finance and other types of orders, identification and implementation is correct. The radio station said the exact name of the radio station and everything was OK.
5, simple information query, such as time, date, weather forecast, all OK
6, translation function speech recognition rate is very high, daily conversation or a more professional statement, can identify and translate. Even uncivilized terms, such as: you xx is a xx and other dissonant terms can also be translated, translate the roughly meaning is correct, but grammar, words or something, machine translation, do not require too much.
7. If you are inquiring about the location or route, don't expect it. Trying to find a nearby McDonald's or how to get there is unsuccessful.

In general, the voice operation of the Onkyo C100 is still useful and practical. Because the C100 can play music and sound programs directly over WiFi without the need for a mobile phone, voice operation is the best way without a screen.


The Onkyo C100's voice function also has a magical effect, that is, can be linked with other smart appliances, use C100 to voice control them. However, this appliance must be a product of JD.com's smart camp. The specific application is described in the App. In addition, there is another app called Jingdong Micro-Link.


Xiao Bian last year bought a Jingdong micro-joint platform WiFi smart rice cooker, should be able to use C100 speakers to voice control.



Let's take a look at the music features of the App. The content comes from the two major platforms of Baidu Music and Himalayan FM, not only music resources, but also various radio stations, talk shows, and audio programs.


Because the working principle of the WiFi speaker is totally different from that of the Bluetooth speaker, in order to control the speaker volume with the mobile phone, it is necessary to operate in the App. In addition, the system sound of mobile phones, the sound of movies, games, telephones, and alarms cannot be played over WiFi. So many times still need to use the Bluetooth connection of Onkyo C100.


In fact, in the WiFi mode of Onkyo C100, the sound resources are not from the mobile phone, but directly from the Internet. Therefore, even if the phone is disconnected from the WiFi connection, the Onkyo C100 can play normally, and if the mobile phone is connected to the network, the C100 can be controlled.

As for the Onkyo C100's Bluetooth mode is no longer too much introduction, its use and other Bluetooth speakers, headphones and no difference.

Finally, to talk about the sound quality, the sound quality of the portable speaker is directly related to the size of the speaker, so when commenting on the sound quality of the portable speaker, it needs to be combined with the size of the speaker. Onkyo C100 is a very small mini speaker, using only two 1.5-inch speakers, so the following evaluation is from the perspective of a small-size speaker.

Onkyo is a well-known audio brand from Japan and has a long history and technology accumulation. Onkyo's strength is not in doubt. In the publicity picture of Onkyo C100, the word HiFi is also used. In terms of sound quality, the C100 is indeed excellent in small speakers of the same size. Its greatest advantage is that the sound has a certain thickness, and it will not be too dry and floating.

The sound energy of Onkyo C100 is mainly concentrated in the mid-frequency band, so vocal is its greatest advantage. Playing a song based on life, or a program such as broadcasting, comic dialogue, storytelling and talk show, is satisfactory. As for the low volume, the C100 is not too demanding because of its small size.

In terms of battery life, the performance of the Onkyo C100 is quite satisfactory. In the case of full power, it can generally continue for more than 4 hours of music. It takes about 3 hours from depletion to full charge. In addition, for the purpose of power saving, Onkyo C100 has set a strict automatic shutdown mechanism. Even if Bluetooth is connected, if there is no sound output for a while, the Onkyo C100 will perform an automatic shutdown.

Write last

Although I also played some WiFi speaker products, but experience Onkyo C100 let Xiaobian feel something new. WiFi speaker + intelligent voice is simply a combination of God, not only allows C100 completely out of the computer, mobile phone, truly worry-free music playback. Moreover, intelligent voice speakers as the voice control center of smart homes are also showing their power. Although Xiao Bian does not think that the speaker is the best choice as a voice control terminal, the mobile phone should be more suitable, but the intelligent voice technology leading by the DingDong smart speaker platform is also worthy of recognition and respect.
