Music remains the key to touching people's hearts, and the support of technology will make this power even more powerful.

Walking into the Huawei Music exhibition area at the 2025 China Digital Music Industry Conference recently held in Xiamen, a giant wing installation caught the attention of many, and it was exactly the original wings from the stage of Xu Song's "Wilderness of Breath" concert. Among those who came to take pictures, many had specially traveled from outlying islands. They sighed with emotion, saying, "The 'Wilderness of Breath' has ended, but the beautiful moments still remain in our hearts."

It was Huawei Music and its partner, Taihe Music, that brought the wings here.

In addition to jointly creating music exhibitions with different themes with its partners, Huawei Music's immersive exhibition area, covering an area of over 500 square meters, highly condenses the full - scenario technology of Hongmeng. The Zunjie S800, Huawei Smart Screen MateTV paired with the Yuezhang Home Theater, noise - canceling headphones FreeBuds7i, and the Mate XTs Ultimate Master triple - fold mobile phone and other trendy new products are lined up, allowing people to unlock the musical journey of Hongmeng in different ways. When music meets Hongmeng, great sound can really "accompany you in all scenarios".

The pursuit of high - quality music is an eternal topic for music platforms. This has also given rise to the "Concert Hall" section on Huawei Music, which brings together high - quality content, and high - quality vertical content co - created with partners. This expo also comprehensively explains how Huawei Music uses technological power to reshape people's music consumption in the context of the current upgrade of digital content quality.

Huawei Music Comprehensively Analyzes the Secret of "Great Sound"

High - quality music has always been an important medium for people to regulate their emotions and soothe their inner world. The AI technology innovation of Huawei Music is refreshing the music - listening experience and presenting beauty to people at any time.

At the main forum of the China Digital Music Industry Conference, the President of the Interactive Media BU of Huawei Terminal Cloud Services said in his keynote speech "Hongmeng Sails, Extraordinary Sounds: HarmonyOS Plays a New Chapter in Full - Scenario" that "Full - scenario is the background color of the Hongmeng ecosystem. Huawei Music is committed to bringing exciting great music to over 210 million monthly active users through continuous circulation and appropriate recommendations, bringing great music to every person, every family, and every car. Based on HarmonyOS, Huawei Music will launch the full - library spatial audio 3.0, bringing an immersive sound field as if you were on the scene."

In fact, this is a huge systematic project.

First of all, to ensure the birth and transmission of great music through technological power, Huawei Music's audio technology experts dissected the underlying technical core at the special promotion session of digital music industry technology innovation and application projects held during the same period, and for the first time detailed the technical secrets of Huawei Music's ultra - high - definition audio and spatial audio black technology.

For music lovers, sound quality is the core pursuit. This has also triggered a sound quality revolution among major music platforms. Today, when you open major music platforms, the options in the sound quality column are becoming more and more complex, and almost the entire industry is moving towards mastering the master - tape - level quality and spatial audio technology.

As early as November 2024, Huawei Music, based on its self - developed AI model, intelligently optimized the sound quality of each song, reaching a maximum sampling rate/bit depth of 192kHz/24bit and achieving master - tape - level sound quality, comprehensively upgrading the quality of the user's music library. Many people who have experienced it said that the sound sounds more delicate and the emotional expression is richer. Some consumers also found that the effect would be enhanced when paired with Huawei headphones.

Then there is spatial audio, an ability launched by Huawei Music that has been praised by many. As early as 2022, Huawei Music brought the audio codec standard Audio Vivid behind it to the music industry, and this technological innovation excited many industry insiders. In the past, when people listened to music, the sound was rather two - dimensional. Spatial audio makes the sound more three - dimensional, as if it is coming from all directions, making people feel more like they are in the middle of it. Imagine that when you are walking by the sea and open a song like "Sunny Day", the guitar and piano accompaniments come from your ears, and there are also faint voices in the distance. The immersive feeling makes the listener instantly transported back to campus.

On the one hand, it is about competing in quality, and on the other hand, it is about pursuing the scarcity of content and even exploring the value boundaries of music content. In the special section of intangible cultural heritage music, as the head of the Music Business Department of Huawei Terminal Cloud Services said in his theme sharing "Awakening Memories with Technological Power, Giving Intangible Cultural Heritage a Future", digital music can play a unique value in the inheritance of traditional culture.

In fact, with the rapid changes in media and the prevalence of short - videos, how can music dissemination shoulder more cultural and social responsibilities while chasing traffic? This has always been an issue that major music platforms are concerned about. This is also the original intention of Huawei Music to launch a series of inheritance and innovation activities in early 2024. This year, Huawei Music also launched the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Sound Search Project". Mongolian long - tune, Dong minority's grand song, and Kunqu Opera, the ancestor of all Chinese operas, these treasures of thousands of years of cultural creation were once fading in the fast - paced urban culture. After launching the Intangible Cultural Heritage Sound Search Project, Huawei Music systematically excavated, sorted out, and digitally preserved precious intangible cultural heritage music resources from various places, allowing these great music pieces to regain new vitality. On the one hand, it preserves the existing resources with high quality, and on the other hand, it activates innovative expressions to make young people fall in love with intangible cultural heritage music culture again.

With the support of Huawei Music's spatial audio and other technologies, many people admit that the sound has broken through the sensory limits. Take the song "Plum Blossoms in Three Movements" from the song list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Sound Search Project as an example. When the thousand - year - old guqin has a three - dimensional sound, the listeners seem to be on the scene and are transformed into a figure in history. Music is a bond for emotional connection, and intangible cultural heritage music represents the resonance of national emotions. The significance of revitalizing intangible cultural heritage music is self - evident.

Huawei Music's comprehensive elaboration shows its high pursuit of great music represented by intangible cultural heritage music, and this pursuit has been recognized by users and the industry. During the conference, Huawei Music's automatic generation method for spatial audio was selected as an "Excellent Case of Digital Music Innovation Technology Application", and the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Sound Search Project" won the "Annual Chinese Cultural Heritage and Communication Project" award at the conference.

In the immersive exhibition area created by Huawei Music, this persistence is more intuitive. Walking into the exhibition area is like walking into a music paradise. In the four major music zones of intangible cultural heritage, classical, children's, and pop music, people can always find their own music appreciation tastes, from intangible cultural heritage treasures, classical elegance, children's sounds to pop hits, everything is available.

In the intangible cultural heritage zone, Huawei Music cooperated with Ruiming Music and directly hung up more than a dozen intangible cultural heritage musical instruments, turning it into an instrument exhibition. In the classical zone, Huawei Music joined hands with Kukai Music to create a "Magic Academy Library". In addition to quietly listening to the classics of masters like Bach and Beethoven, even beginners can play a tune by a master on the Kukai smart piano. The children's zone is definitely a ready - made parent - child paradise. Huawei Music cooperated with BabyBus to transform classic content such as children's songs and nursery rhymes into spatial audio versions of children's music for a more immersive experience, leading both adults and children to feel the fun of childhood together.

It's Time to Upgrade the Quality of Digital Content. Great Music is Always by Your Side

With the rapid development of the Internet and mobile communication technology, we are in an era of digital content explosion. However, the popularity of both "Ne Zha 2" and "Black Myth: Wukong" indicates that the trend of a new round of digital content upgrade has arrived. Great music naturally also needs high - quality support.

In October 2024, with the new release of the Hongmeng operating system, Huawei Music, one of the native Hongmeng applications, underwent a major transformation. One of the most eye - catching features is the "Immersive Concert Hall", which refers to the architectural design concept and restores the visual perception of a real concert hall through the use of color and light, spatial deconstruction, etc. It has a simple and immersive style, with clean and personalized recommendation cards paired with delicate light and shadow, full of texture and atmosphere. The design of the high - quality columns has a high aesthetic level, fitting the general public's taste for art appreciation. At the same time, Huawei Music also cooperated with more than a hundred well - known music labels and institutions such as Universal, Taihe, and the National Center for the Performing Arts to launch high - quality albums, covering multiple genres such as classical, pop, and jazz.

In early 2025, the in - depth operation of high - quality content was further upgraded. Huawei Music created 20 high - quality classification zones around four categories: language, scenario, music style, and theme, combining the high - quality content of its partners. Based on vertical styles and high - frequency scenarios, it not only focuses on genres but also pays attention to scenarios and special expressions. For example, the themed column launched in cooperation with the China Record Group provides users with a peaceful and focused music atmosphere with soothing and elegant instrumental sounds, meeting the social emotional needs of contemporary people.

While the demand for quality is upgrading, modern people's living habits have fragmented the daily content consumption scenarios. With the arrival of the AI era, the intelligent capabilities of terminals such as mobile phones, speakers, and cars are constantly upgrading, and multi - terminal linkage is almost becoming a standard in modern people's lives. This is also one of the greatest advantages of Huawei Music's software and hardware collaboration with Hongmeng terminals.

Almost every time Huawei releases a new hardware product and upgrades the Hongmeng system, Huawei Music will come up with new ideas for its products. But in the current situation where product innovation in the market has dried up, these new functions are even more valuable.

In March 2025, when the Huawei PuraX was released, users could experience the "AI Air Transmission" and "Tap - to - Share Songs" functions on Huawei Music, which means that listening to music has gained a social attribute.
