"I Love Audio Network Weekly" mainly includes industry information, product news, teardown reports and experience evaluations, aiming to lead everyone to quickly review the major events and small events that have occurred in the audio market in the past week through an article, and become a person who understands the audio industry in ten minutes a week.
From April 10th to April 16th, I Love Audio Network shared it with you:
Since the state vigorously supported the development of the new energy automobile industry in 2011, the new energy automobile industry has experienced a budding period, an exploration period, a development period and a mature period. At present, the new energy market is in a period of rapid development, not only in terms of performance to quickly catch up with traditional cars, but also sales are growing rapidly.
With the upgrading and popularization of 5G technology and in-vehicle OS systems, in-vehicle music and vehicle networking systems can be fully integrated. The car music platform combines big data algorithms and artificial intelligence analysis to carry out personalized music recommendations, and in this context, it has spawned industries such as new energy car audio and new energy vehicle music systems.
In 2020, the size of China's digital music market reached 35.73 billion yuan, an increase of 42.8% year-on-year; in 2021, the size of China's digital music market reached 42.89 billion yuan, an increase of 20.03% year-on-year; according to this trend, it is expected to reach 48.27 billion yuan in 2022.
With the support of a series of national policies, the new energy industry will continue to develop in the direction of steady growth in the future. I love audio network will continue to pay attention to the dynamics of the new energy vehicle audio industry, to bring you more detailed information ~ ~
This article summarizes 10 new TWS headphones in 2022, from the top 10 brands of Cleer, Sony, OPPO, Shaoyin, Xinsheng, Huawei, Honor, Oladance, realme, and Black Shark. Among them, there are 5 mobile phone brands and 5 audio brands.
The 10 new TWS headphones have an innovative design in appearance, sony Linkbuds is completely different from the appearance of any TWS headphone on the market in terms of appearance, using a figure-of-8 design connected by two circular parts, bringing users a new sense of hearing and open listening experience. The pattern of in-ear, semi-in-ear and open-ended exterior design has also been broken, and the mainstream design of 2022 has tilted from in-ear to open.
In terms of call noise reduction, it is basically fully popularized, 10 new TWS headphones all support call noise reduction function, and on the basis of ordinary noise reduction, some characteristic noise reduction has been born, such as gear noise reduction, bone conduction AI call noise reduction, adaptive noise reduction, etc.
At present, noise reduction, sound quality, battery life, shared audio and other functions have been able to bring consumers a better experience, and wearing comfort will become an important choice reference for consumers. In addition, health function is the key word in the field of TWS headphones in 2021 and 2022, and in 2022, health monitoring functions will be further popularized in TWS headphone products.
Performance, battery life, function, appearance, choose a smart watch must make trade-offs? The Snapdragon 4100 wearable device platform can all be wanted. Based on Qualcomm's latest technology, it provides strong performance, lasting battery life, rich scene application and excellent appearance for customer products, and has been adopted by smart watches under brands including TicWatch, Meizu, Little Genius, OPPO and so on.
The rapid development of Internet technology has led to many emerging industries, and platforms such as self-media, short videos and live broadcasts are one of its important products. With the rise of these platforms, users have provided a wide space for sharing, so video has become the main way for people to record and share their daily lives.
The more free and flexible shooting method of short videos has also caused changes in shooting equipment, and more portable products have gained a broader market. Among them, wireless microphones, as an important product to improve the quality of video and audio, have ushered in a new stage of development, and many brands have successively laid out, or independently developed, or looked for corresponding high-quality solution providers, so as to be able to quickly launch products to occupy the market.
