Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best Bluetooth speaker made in history had for 5 years!!! Love has traveled with me everywhere…

It was easy to set up and linked my music. It found my stations and if I ask for a song it finds it. It has a great sound and volume. I love the fact it has a long battery life and I can take it out wireless, or move it to different parts of the house..

This little speaker has quickly become a family favorite for portability and music streaming. My kids have quickly learned that Alexa is their personal DJ when hooked up to the Amazon Prime Unlimited Music program. Battery life is great and sound quality is adequate for our purposes. Some audiophiles might not like the lack of bass, but it does the job for our family.

Amazon Tap has great sound for a small device, it's portable and works on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The small base it sits on is also a charger.

Full disclosure. I own five Amazon echos including a few Dots as well as this Tap, so obviously I'm a fan of echoes. Honestly I couldn't figure out from Amazons marketing and the online review how the Tap fit in as compared to full blown Echo and the Dot. I kept thinking it was limited compared to the Echo and the Dot because you had to Tap the button to ask it question. However given that it's completely portable and runs for up to six hours on a charge it makes sense that it would wast battery if it was always listening for a voice command. IMO, the Tap sounds just as good and maybe even better the the Echo in a much smaller form factor. Since it's portable it's probably going to be sitting next to you any way so tapping to ask a question is not really an issue and in someways is better when you have a full table as you can control who gets to request music. My friends and I get into fun wars asking for different music on the full blown Echo but it can also get a little annoying when someone plays Michael Bolton over my Bruce Springsteen. Bottom line just as good of sound as the full blown Tap in a portable and smaller form. Very Happy with all my echoes but this may be my favorite.

With the new update allowing hands-free "Hey Alexa" commands, this is a great device. The battery allows you to disconnect from the wall. The sound is very good and fills a small room well with decent levels. Alexa is very accurate (most of the time) to voice commands. My only complaint is that Bluetooth streaming from devices (like my iPhone or iPad) sometimes breaks up and stutters a bit. Other than that, I think this is a great device.

Overall this is pretty cool little speaker. Sound is good as long as you keep the volume below 7/10. Above that you lose all bass capabilities. I’m a tech junkie and like to try new things all the time. Nice thing is the portability of it. Unlike the echo you can basically go anywhere with it. Which is why I bought it. Also with the new update you have the same abilities as the echo. Giving you the hands free ability is awesome!

As a bluetooth speaker, the Tap rocks! The sound quality is excellent, plenty loud when needed, and excellent quality with no stutters in streaming. I bought this one instead of the Echo because it is portable, and I can lug it from room to room. The charging stand is very convenient, and the Tap stays there most of the time. Having to press the button to activate each of the voice commands is not an issue for me, but is something to consider. (If you want hands free use, you may want the big brother Echo device, which is hands free, but tethered in place by a power cord, so not portable). The feel of the Tap with the black fabric cover is nice, and will not slip out of your hand. The fabric is like tough upholstery cover, so it won't stain or be easy to damage, but is quite attractive. I am glad they did that, as bare plastic would be easy to drop. I found it easy to pair with bluetooth and wireless, and it works as advertised! I mostly just use it for playing music and asking Alexa silly questions for fun! I occasionally use it for shopping lists, which shows up on my phone, and checking the weather. Who knows what the future holds,when I have time to sit down and really learn all that it can do? I understand that Amazon plans to add more Alexa skills all the time, and if one got into smart house control with compatible products, the Tap would eliminate all remotes, which I already have too many of. I think it is a really fun, cool item, and I am glad I got it! It is so much fun to use voice commands instead of typing, especially the tiny smart phone typing ! I could get used to this! I have the Alexa app on my phone, which allows certain voice commands to show up on my phone, like shopping lists, to do lists, calendar. The Tap can also check traffic, weather, movies, etc directly through Wi Fi, no phone needed. However, the Alexa phone app actually helps you figure out what you can do with the Tap. The Tap can read Audible and some kindle ebooks to you as well! BTW, I haven't had any problems having it understand me, which is amazing, since I grew up in Texas and expected a problem with my accent. Obviously, this item is ideal for people who are Amazon Prime members, so you can stream Prime Music, although it also streams Pandora and other music services, and does many things without any connection to Amazon. I guess the most unique thing about the Tap is its ability to stream wi fi music directly, without a computer or phone driving it - that and the voice control. I have paid more for smaller "just" bluetooth speakers, so to me, this was a super deal, and continues to be a source of fun and entertainment!

We already had an echo, but my wife did not want it to be in the kitchen, but that is where we spend time and where it would get used. The beauty of the Tap is that is is a full function Echo that can be portable. The sound is very good for the type of speaker it is, not as good as more expensive speakers, but the price and added functions make it a great choice for us.

This speaker was my first Alexa device and it was easy to set up. It has a good sound and battery life for it's size. Even better was 2 weeks later Best Buy placed it on sale a refunded the difference. It is very versatile and easy to use. After buying this, we bought 3 dots, and an Echo 2, as well as an Echo 2 for my dad.

I have grown very accustomed to having Alexa around. There are new skills added on a very regular basis. I really enjoy just pressing a button and asking for a song/radio station/podcast to be played. I also enjoy having books read to me, since I'm not much of a reader. The setup was super simple, so simple that I wasn't sure that I was all ready to go with such minimal effort. The battery life is very long and the speaker suits me just fine. I feel that there is a bright future for the Tap and I am going to enjoy trying more things that this gadget has to offer. I'm not sure I "needed" this item, but I can't imagine not having it around now. So pleased with this purchase.

I bought this after I bought the Amazon Echo. This was actually an impulse buy. I saw it and bought it not reading any reviews on it, because I enjoyed the echo so much. It does everything the Echo does, but the sound quality is not great. When you're playing at middle volume, it's ok. The lows are there but doesn't sound good. I'm guessing I'm comparing it with the Bose mini soundlink. When you set the volume high, the bass is almost non-existent. The mids and highs are loud with the louder volume. Another difference is that with tap, you have to press the mic button to start saying commands where as with the echo, you can just say the wake up word and it will start listening to your commands. I do like the fact that it's portable. Because of that, I'm on edge of returning it and holding off until maybe another model comes out with better bass.

I bought this one as a gift as I already own one. I had the Dot, but find that I like the speaker quality and the portability of the Tap. Much better to be able to take it with you. Still much to explore with its capabilities.

I use it all around the house. I move it upstairs and down. With the upgrade firmware you don't have to tap. Just say "Alexa." Good sound, but not as good as JBL charge speaker. I bought a 2nd one as a Christmas gift.

Works great to control Alexa when she understands you and has good battery life but sound lacks bass except at low volumes. gets very loud at least. Easily connects to Bluetooth.

I got this as a gift for my parents and they love it!! My mom, in her 50’s, loves to listen to the old time radio mysteries. My dad, in his 60’s, loves to listen to the Beatles on it!

This product has a good sound quality, not as powerful as the Echo but it has the flexibility to move anywhere around the house without a cable.

I can take it where ever I want music, great sound and its not stationary like the other Alexa products!! The price was good because on sale!!

I love my new tap. I love that is it portable when you want to move it to a different room. Super easy tos et up and the sound is fantastic

I bought this for my mother in law to use when she is outside gardening. She had a huuuge portable speaker that didn't sound very good and used many double 'd' batteries. This one sounds better and lasts all day. I was concerned she wouldn't be able to figure it out, but it is so user friendly she has no issues with it. She loves it and that is a good thing.
