    It's a speaker

    The quality of the sound coming out of this little device is pretty darn good, but in case you didn't know, it's just a speaker. It came with the TV for no good reason. You can't use this speaker to control the TV - yeah, I tried that. I honestly have no idea why anyone would want to talk to a speaker, that then tries to run apps on your phone. It's just much easier to use the controller. The speach recognition of all players just isn't where it needs to be in order to keep from getting totally frustrated, finding yourself swearing at the machine.

    I know that there’s a later model but I like the sound from 3 better than 4, better price and the size fits where I want to use it.

    Underrated Convenience

    Originally I thought these little things were a joke, but I have two now and I honestly think they’re the biggest lift to my smart home system. Having them around the house makes it possible to hear the door bell ring in any room. I love giving commands in normal voice to turn on and off the lights... and my favorite Command of all... “Play Howard Stern”. Their size makes them so discrete that they vanish behind the coffee maker or the tv and you forget they’re even in the room making it feel like the walls can talk! Great product!

    I bought this to allow access to Alexia in different rooms. Operates plugs in the bedroom. Plays music with a satisfactory sound. Easy to set-up.

    Of the echo devices in our home this one is a convenient size, it listens well, and it produces decent sound. The larger echo device has much better sound and listens about as well, but is more obtrusive and has to be accommodated to project sound for listening enjoyment. The echo "show" has the added dimension of "dropping in" with a camera so you can see who you are talking to and get visuals, but it is much harder of hearing. I actually got this echo dot to use by our pool to control our ION Bluetooth outdoor speaker (which is also AWESOME!). This gives us the ultra convenient options to control our listening experience without using our wet hands or getting out of the pool to control a device. The dot can access music from Apple or from Prime and change volume, mute, pause and switch playlists or play ad hoc from anywhere within earshot. This device is decent, but what it can do to innovate with technology is the actual power and usefulness. I DO recommend this device.

    SOUND: For such a small device the sound is surprisingly good. It gets loud and sounds decently clear. For a casual music listener you likely won't complain. Keep in mind these are not meant to compete with the Homepod or Sonos One. Stereo pairing sounds better than a single device. FUNCTIONALITY: The speaker is very responsive to "Alexa." The two feature I like most are 1) drop-in and 2) Announcements. The drop-in feature allows the user to open communication with another echo device. Announcements act as intercom allowing you to send a message across all echo devices on the network.
