"When vinyl records meet smart speakers", "Chinese New Year gifts home smart speakers"... Recently, whether in physical stores or online stores, you can see similar slogans everywhere. This shows how popular smart speakers are.

 　　"Buy a good set of stereos and go home"-used to be one of the plans of many Foshan families before the Spring Festival. Foshan used to have several well-known streets specializing in the sale of audio products, and the business was particularly hot at the end of the year. But in the past ten years or so, with the rise of various electronic devices, the home audio market has been sluggish, and these audio streets have basically ceased to exist. But in the past two years, with the emergence of smart speakers, the purchase of smart speakers before the Spring Festival has been included in the annual inventory of many households. The price of smart speakers ranges from tens of yuan to a few thousand yuan. So, are AI speakers worth a few hundred yuan and tens of yuan reliable?

 　　In addition, many families have bought large TVs but are not satisfied with the built-in system, so they plan to buy a TV box to watch richer programs. Relevant personnel reminded that when buying a TV box, don't be configured to be fooled. Resources and control experience are more important.
