In terms of appearance, Philips Fidelio E6 can be summed up in two points: 1. High value, 2. Great expectations. For young people today, most of them are face value controls. The Fidelio E6 uses a simple and stylish design style. It is compact and easy to place, and the sound details are exquisitely crafted, plus its luxurious dust-proof material. At first glance, it is easy to discuss the likes of young people.

The official explanation is more conducive to cleaning. In addition, the new material improves the sound transmission effect while enabling Allows users to clearly see the current source of the signal through the electronic display on the speaker surface. The two detachable rear speakers on the top are made of metal and are completely different. On the top of the speaker and subwoofer, the solid wood design is adopted. Compared to the skinning methods used by many speakers on the market today, the solid wood material should be better regardless of the hand or the appearance, and of course it can be used in any home environment. Fusion brings a warm home feel.

With leather handles, more convenient to use



In order to facilitate the user's use, two rear speakers are designed with a leather handle, and printed with the exquisite "Philips Fidelio" logo, users can easily separate and move the rear speakers.

In addition, the author found a small bright spot on the subwoofer. The Fidelio E6 was specially designed with a reflection board at the bottom of the subwoofer. What does it use? It should be noted that many families now like to lay floors, and to pay attention to a little more, they will carpet in the living room and bedroom. However, these materials have a certain sound absorption (especially for low frequencies). The board below the E6 subwoofer is designed to solve the above problems. It can make the low frequency unaffected by any medium, and the sound can spread evenly to the surrounding to maintain the best bass effect. From this point it can be seen that the acoustic design of the Fidelio E6 is still very hard.


In terms of price, the Fidelio E6 still maintains the same price as the E5. The pre-sale price of 12,000 is indeed not bad. It seems that it is not a product targeted at the mass consumer, but it is for those who pursue HiFi sound quality while not wanting to be traditional.

After the audio is turned on, the user can clearly see the currently used signal source (for example, HDMI 1) on the front of the main box (R), so that the user can know the current connection mode at any time and the experience is better. .
