  • Essential for smart home.

    I have four of these to keep in voice contact with Alexa throughout the house. This is important if you have smart home features in multiple areas of the house. I find the audio to be acceptable for music but voice for news reports can be difficult to understand. The sound equalizer controls are not adequate to adjust for spoken words. (Probably a limitation of the speakers). When you do adjust the sound using the equalizer within the app it will tell you adjustments cannot be made unless audio is playing. It means "music." Spoken words, such as newscasts, don'the count.

    I haven't noticed any major improvements over the 2nd Gen, in fact the plug no longer has a USB end and instead a fat square plug that makes it difficult to plug in most spaces.

    Over the years I’ve done quite a few videos showing how Google smart speakers are far better than Alexa. Maybe some day Amazon will catch on to their issues. BUT! I decided to get the new Echo Dot with the time display to put on the other side of the bed. Great sound, and the display adapts changes to the amount of light within the room, brighter in the day light, dimmed at night so the ‘blue light’ doesn’t bother your eyes while sleeping.
