On the afternoon of October 22, I went out and asked about the release of the new wireless headsets TicPods 2 and TicPods 2 Pro in Beijing.
TicPods 2 and TicPods 2 Pro are not much different in most places and look a lot like previous products, but this time the focus is on AI technology.
From the conventional function and design, the charging box has a long and narrow shape, and the body of the earphone looks like a thick circle of AirPods. However, in terms of portability, the TicPods 2’s charging box has been reduced by 42% compared to the previous generation, making it one of the smallest true wireless headset products available.
In addition, TicPods 2 uses a semi-in-ear design instead of the full-ear version of the previous generation, which further enhances the wearing comfort. The single-sided earphones are very light, only 4.6g. It can be used for 4 hours in a single use, 23 hours in conjunction with the charging case, and can be used for several days under mild use.
Other specifications, using blueThe technology of the tooth 5.0 is more stable in connection, and it is equipped with a 13mm dynamic sounding unit, which can support aptX encoding under the support of Qualcomm QCC5121 chip. In addition, the headset also supports Qualcomm’s CVC call noise reduction technology, and the TicPods 2 Pro also features dual microphone noise reduction.
The TicPods 2 series also supports a number of shortcut operations, including scratching the touch, etc. The user can also control the headset function by double-clicking, long-pressing, and sliding. In addition, a six-axis sensor is inserted inside, which can recognize the action of the user’s head and realize the function of turning the head and turning the head back.
Voice wake-up is a highlight of the TicPods 2 series. Similar to this year’s new AirPods, TicPods 2 can start the voice assistant by speaking the wake-up words directly. But one of the better things than AirPods is that it also supports some shortcut commands. For example, you can directly control the “next” or “stop playing” without first waking up the voice assistant. After talking with the watch, you can directly say ” I want to pay the bill, and the watch will automatically show the Alipay QR code.
In addition to the hardware, this time it is about the release of the AI Assistant Voice Assistant 4.0, an artificial intelligence assistant. In this version, I will go out and ask about the linkage between IoT devices. Try to realize the interaction of various intelligent scenes in the scene away from the mobile phone, such as the secretary’s record memo, setting reminders, synchronizing notes and so on. In addition, there is a two-way output between the earphone and the mobile phone, which realizes a two-way translator like a walkie-talkie.
Other aspects, the question and ask also brought a small telephone assistant, this similar AI technology we have seen a lot recently, it can automatically answer the phone and make a more reasonable reply, it can be regarded as artificial intelligence Technology brings new ways to fight harassment calls and solve life service calls.
The theme of this conference is called “AI Assistant in the Ear”, so the regular function of the true wireless headset is not the biggest highlight of this headset. In fact, they seem to be working as an AI algorithm. The company’s hardware products are not only for consumers, but also the carrier of their own AI technology. From this point of view, it is rare in China to continue to introduce hardware as a main AI algorithm. The company is gone.
In terms of final price, TicPods 2 is priced at 699 yuan and TicPods 2 Pro is priced at 799 yuan. There are three colors, pink, blue and white.
