For a very short time DxOMark, a site known for the photographic and audio evaluations of smartphones, has also begun to review Bluetooth speakers. Regarding Xiaomi, we can count on numerous speakers of this type, even with a voice assistant. The only problem is that most can count only on the Chinese digital assistant XiaoAI. There has recently been talk ofarrival in Europe of such a device but nothing for Italy yet. How will the speakers of the brand be positioned according to the DxOMark ranking? Brilliantly, so much to have conquered the top of the standings.
Second and third place in the ranking for Xiaomi Bluetooth speakers: the podium of the DxOMark ranking is all of them, they shine for sound quality
A new sector therefore for DxOMark reviewers who are normally used to reviewing the sound yes, but that of smartphones. In this regard, we remind you that Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro has been ranked first for months, undisturbed even by the most recent smartphones, with a score equal to 76 points. In any case, the new ranking of the portal is clear: Mi Smart Speaker HD e Mi Smart Speaker Battery Edition are respectively al second and third place in the ranking, leading the Bluetooth speaker industry.
But what are the requirements of a Bluetooth speaker to enter the DxOMark ranking? Specifically below are the points analyzed by the portal:
- rubber stamp: ability of a speaker to reproduce the correct frequency based on the condition of use and based on user expectations. We observe the frequencies of the bass, middle and treble, as well as their balance in general. A good tonal balance typically consists of a uniform distribution of these frequencies;
- space capacity: here it is judged based on the user's ability to position objects distant from the speaker. Characteristic often not considered properly but which makes the listening experience so much better if all objects are arranged in a symmetrical and well-ordered way, so as to resonate in the most uniform way possible;
- Dynamics: evaluates the precision in which the bass is output;
- volume: it is the ability to have an adequate volume according to the use scenarios. The sound pressure levels (SPL) of a speaker are objectively evaluated at various volume settings to determine the maximum volume and its consistency;
- interference: Checks for any sounds that may disturb the listener, such as noise or clipping. Sometimes it happens that the user himself causes disturbances, for example when moving in space or when raising and lowering the volume.
