Haimeidi, established in December 2005, is a high-tech multimedia company dedicated to providing smart entertainment solutions for living rooms. With a focus on audio and video experiences, the company aims to enhance family life through innovative technology.
The Haimeidi H7, the fourth generation of its flagship model, is a powerful network set-top box that supports Bluetooth voice control and dual-band WiFi. This device was provided for testing by Fan, offering a glimpse into its impressive capabilities.
The H7 comes in an environmentally friendly kraft carton packaging. The upper left corner features the CIBN Internet TV logo, indicating its partnership with content providers for online video services.
The packaging is sturdy and well-designed, ensuring the product remains safe during transit.
Inside the box, you'll find the H7 unit, a remote control, power adapter, HDMI cable, and user manual, all neatly organized.
The remote control is made of black ABS material with 14 keys, featuring a central voice button for seamless voice commands and control.
A 5V, 2A power adapter is included, ensuring stable performance for the H7.
The H7 has an all-metal body with a black matte finish. Its top surface features a curved silver metal strip, adding a touch of elegance to the design.
The front panel displays the Haimeidi logo, while the right side houses a power indicator light.
On the right side, there are two USB 2.0 ports. While it's a 4K-capable box, the absence of a USB 3.0 port is a minor drawback.
There's also a TF card slot for easy access to mobile phone storage content.
Most of the interfaces are located on the rear panel, including antennas, optical fiber, AV, HDMI 2.0, Ethernet, and power ports.
The bottom features cooling holes and four non-slip feet, with product information and MAC address located at the lower right corner.
The H7’s compact, elegant design allows it to blend seamlessly into any home decor.

The H7 runs an optimized Android 6.0 OS, with a user-friendly interface that allows customization and is tailored for large-screen remote controls.
