The LeEco Le Max2 is an ideal smartphone for multimedia addicts. It has everything one looks for consuming multimedia – a large display with impressive visuals and an immersive audio experience. We’ve already discussed the former, and now it’s time to talk about the latter which is possible due to LeEco’s proprietary technology CDLA.Standing for Continuous Digital Lossless Audio, CDLA ensures that the music is delivered digitally to the pair of compatible USB-Type C earphones. As highlighted in our review of its budget sibling, the Le 2, LeEco’s approach certainly delivers better audio quality. In fact, as soon as you plug in your earphones, you get a prompt, which lets you enable the CDLA HD mode. On the flipside though, you need to have the CDLA earphones with you always, and there’s a dearth of choice as well. Only LeEco makes such CDLA earphones (JBL has also launched Type-C earphones, but they aren’t compatible with CDLA), and they aren’t very comfortable to wear for long durations. Thankfully, you can use your legacy earphones with the use of the bundled Type-C to 3.5mm interface connector.While the sound via earphones is great, the speaker output isn’t up to the mark as it’s not loud enough. Moreover, the speakers get covered by your hand when you hold the device horizontally, resulting in a muted sound.In terms of connectivity, the LeEco Le Max2 gets full marks. The dual-SIM smartphone supports 4G and we enjoyed high-speed data with Reliance Jio’s network. It also features usual connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. Unfortunately, it misses out on NFC support.The Le Max2 also has an IR blaster, and you can use the Remote Control app to control your TV and other home appliances.
