   Excellent… Very Excellent

   Bought this as part of a bundle during a sale for $50. After getting it and listening to it for a bit I had to pick up a few more. They really deliver on the sound given the size.The built in Zigbee hub as well as the temperature sensor is a nice have. The ultrasonic sensor can control things, though it has a long delay (~30 minutes) between triggers, so it doesn’t respond quickly to people leaving the room.But that isn’t enough to even knock off a point. I have no problem recommending these speakers to people.

   Potencia y sonido superior

   Les puedo decir que estoy super feliz con mi compra. Aproveche los especiales de Amazon para adquirir 2 que me salieron exactamente a 50 dolares cada una y las pude pagar en 5 comodos pagos sin intereses.Me he enamorado de su sonido. Ya solo me falta para la coleccion la Echo Studio y posiblemente la Echo Sub. En un futuro comprare 2 Echo 4ta Gen mas para completar mi setup en la habitacion. Por ahora las escucho en un grupo llamado COCINA, donde suenan las 2 Echos 4ta Gen y mi adorado Echo Dot 3ra Gen y estoy ENAMORADO de como suenan en conjunto. Una pasada.Les digo si que a veces es un poco engorroso que se conecten todas a la vez, pero luego de conectarse varias veces parece que aprende y lo hace ahora a la primera orden.Estan muy bien logradas estas Echo. Recomendadas.

   This is probably the best thing I bought on a whim

   We had been using an echo dot for several years and found it to be not only educational but entertaining for the grands with knock knock jokes etc. When the volume became inconsistent, I figured it was time for a replacement. After reading the reviews, I selected this Echo. I love it. The sound quality is phenominal; probably equivalent to Bose. Buy one for yourself, youll be glad you did

   Low profile better quality sound

   I love the fact that I was able to get this in a lighter color. I was sick of the black tower. The lower profile Alexa hub made the space less cluttered and the sound quality is amazing. The wake word is much faster to respond than the older models and that is a huge plus.

   Love the way it picks up voice commands to answer your music requests or Google type questions. And for music the sound is great considering it’s price. ( no booming bass but great clarity and decent power in a medium room

   I am so happy to buy this product that I can’t say anything bad . because the sound quality is excellent and contrary to appearance it has a very good bass and I am Iranian and it helps a lot in translating words and my suggestion is about Alexa home applications because Siri doesn’t have Farsi translation.

    WHITE POWER CORD

    This 4th Generation replaced my 1st Generation Echo. The sound is upgraded from the1st generation and still offers all of the other skills. My biggest gripe is the “power cord”I purchased the wall mount for many reasons, just like my 1st Generation Echo for sound, ease ofoperation & no accidental falling from a stand (cats). The cord is white – my Echo is charcoaland its short – too short to be able to place it at eye level using the wall mount. The cord just pops out. Looks absolutely stupid. Why white??? So it has made me spend money to get a black adaptor cord that is long enough to properly use the wall mount at the correct height & look aesthetically with the charcoal Echo & wall mount. Good call Amazon!!! Cha Ching $$$$$$

    Don’t let the five stars fool you !

    The Echo (4th Gen) is a powerful smart home hub that offers premium sound and Alexa capabilities. While this device is an excellent addition to any home, one downside is that it has a limit on the number of speakers that can be added to create a home theater setup.Unfortunately, the Alexa app only allows you to add up to two speakers to your home theater system when using the Echo (4th Gen) as the hub. This limitation can be frustrating for those who want to create a more immersive audio experience, as it prevents them from adding additional speakers to enhance the sound quality of their home theater setup.It’s important to note that this limitation is not unique to the Echo (4th Gen) and is a limitation of the Alexa app in general. However, it’s still disappointing for those who were hoping to create a more robust home theater setup with the Echo (4th Gen) as the hub.Despite this limitation, the Echo (4th Gen) is still a great device that offers excellent sound quality and a variety of useful features. Its smart home hub capabilities make it easy to control various devices in your home, and its built-in Alexa functionality provides a hands-free way to access music, news, and other features.Overall, while the limitation on the number of speakers that can be added to a home theater setup may be a drawback for some, the Echo (4th Gen) remains a powerful and useful device that offers a lot of value for its price

    Incredible sound. Incredible bass. Can’t get Spotify to work with “Everywhere” group 🙁

    No se pudo cargar el archivo multimedia.

     I cannot get this device to play Spotify with 4 echo dots (3rd generation) that I have scattered throughout the house. I was really hoping I could say, “Alexa, play music everywhere” or “Alexa, play music on my Everywhere group” or “Alexa, play spotify everywhere.” But, nope. When I say all that, Alex answers, “Sure, here’s spotify on the everywhere group”, but then nothing plays anywhere from any speaker. I almost returned this, but then out of curiosity I tried it with Amazon music. If I say “play amazon everywhere,” all the speakers play music from Amazon. I can’t figure it out.That being said, if I had not ordered this, I would have missed out. This is the most incredible, little speaker I’ve ever heard. I can’t believe this little 3 inch woofer has so much bass. It does a good job filling my 3 room “abode” with sound. I almost don’t need that 3rd echo dot in my bathroom. I can hear the music from my living room with this bigger Echo.I have not tested the In/Out jack yet. I was surprised to see it is referred to as both In and Out. If that’s so, and it will work, I’m going to end up ordering another one and connect these things to my TV with a 3.5 aux splitter cable! This speaker sounds better than my $125 soundbar.

    This one works perfect

    I bought a refurbished Echo Dot for $40. Whatever they did to refurbish, it was a waste of time. So I ended up having to spend some money and get one that’s actually brand new. And this one works as advertised. Just a thought, but when you go to buy something refurbished thinking that it will work as stated there’s a 50-50 chance that it won’t. Better to spend the money and get something that actually works as stated.

    Review from a stutterer…

    I have a severe stutter, delay, cluster and some times sound doesn’t come out of my mouth. I bought this device after reading it has adaptive learning and because I was sick of my echo dot stuttering back at me every day of my life (yeah, true story)…I’ve had this device for about a week now and even when I’m not fluent when giving a command, my device still does what I ask and it does not stutter back at me.Also, the sound is incredible when playing songs from Amazon music.

    Having owned all previous versions of echo devices with hubs…

    we have a home full of alexa enabled devices and have for a few years. getting the first version with a hub as opposed to the others was the single best thing we did to improve our overall experience with. so when the newest came out with increased range i wanted to give it a try.the most important benefit of echo units with hubs is the ease of adding new alexa enabled devices. instead of having to sort of setup steps which vary wildly between devices, with hubs like this has all you need to do is say, “alexa find new devices.”the second reason we specifically went with this newest echo with a hub has increased range over its predecessors. bluetooth low Eeergy (BLE) which helps extend the range of low-bandwidth devices. this was something i wanted to try in hopes of improving the feed from the many cams we have enabled around and inside our place. before we had this installed two of our outside wyze cams furthest from the house were unreliable for viewing, after rarely ever an issue.last the sound is noticeably improved over all previous iterations. the 3” woofer and pair of tweeters work better than expected. it is the first time i have been able to notice any sound improvement since the introduction of the first version echo. you can actually listen to music and have it sound decent(at low to mid volumes) where before it wasn’t all that good. nice too that they still include the 3.5mm audio out jack!the only two minor gripes i have with the device comes down to shape and microphones. the shape, design being totally changed into a round ball means that many of places we’d typically put a larger echo just don’t work with this form factor. it comes down to the additional width not height but a minor detail for us.the other minor ding has to do with microphone sensitivity. when i first noticed that the mic’s seemed to be less effective than our others i went to test it out. in a quiet room with the previous generation sitting next to the newest. i changed the ‘wake’ word on the one to ‘computer’ so only one would react to my command. i spoke from the same spot, same voice volume, same words and confirmed my suspicions. this newest version does not hear quite so well as the others. it isn’t a big difference but enough for me to notice another words when i have to repeat the same thing twice but louder the 2nd go round. it might be due to the new design and positioning of the mic’s? that said not a reason to shy away from this device imho.i think overall the improvements with range and sound are good enough reasons to pick up this newest version of the echo. while it isn’t perfect it is all things considered better than those that have come before. i would recommend this to those looking for a first time echo hub or even those like myself who already had hubs but needed a bit more from them.

    Improvement over our old Echo

    So far the sound of this Echo 4th gen is much better than our old Alexa unit. That got moved to another room and this one has taken over the living room. The volume and mute buttons are much easier to see and use.

    Surprisingly Big Improvement Over My 3rd Gen Echo

    I really have enjoyed both my second and third generation Echos and bought this one for its change of shape and it was on sale plus 5 payment option.First off the bad. If you’re used to room enveloping sound with no sense of stereo this one will disappoint. Dual tweeters firing forward give it a true sense of direction so sticking it in a corner and have it fill the room will not be as satisfying. You’ll notice where it’s located more, especially if there’s anything blocking your direct line of sight ( hearing ) . Where I keep mine only needed a slight shift to make it not be partially blocked by my sofa . Volume was still plenty loud in its old spot but it just didn’t sound right. Easily solved but might not be that easy for others and some might actually prefer the directional sound more.The bass can be a bit boomy though while listening to YYZ live in Rio the bass drum didn’t sound bad at all and overall everything was satisfactory though slightly lacking in the mid highs. The eq settings in the Alexa app are set to flat on all 3 choices .It’s wider at the base than the previous generations by a lot. This could be a problem for some .Star Trek Self Destruct Skill doesn’t work on this one or my 4th gen Dot but does fine on my previous generation ones for some reason . Instead of blowing up my den it searches for “zero zero zero” movies on my Fire Stick. I’m sure that won’t last long though .Enough about the bad.The bass is no longer wannabe but real. No longer does it struggle with everything below mid level voices but as I wrote above , bass drums actually sound like bass drums and Ends of the Earth by Lord Huron excels at all of the music ranges considering its size. Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams also sounded very nice across the sound spectrum . Music For Tables extreme from the high notes in the keyboard to the lows didn’t miss a thing whereas the cow bell was very slightly muddy but the wood blocks sounded right . Am I saying it’s as awesome as my studio headphones ? Not by any means but they took a huge step forward over the 3rd generation , which I was quite content with .Response time seems noticeably faster and more accurate than the gen 3 I use . Only once did Alexa not understand my query and that was while setting up a traffic check routine. All I had to do was rephrase a little and now Alexa tells me the commute traffic and fastest way to get to work 5 minutes before I have to leave . 95 is terrible for accidents and Maps tells Alexa the best alternative if there’s any.I think my favorite thing though is the new shape and I REALLY like the lights being on the bottom, especially once the lights go off .If you’re still smitten with your gen 3 Echo or don’t like the mini Death Star look of the new model skip this one as the performance improvements are readily apparent they’re not earth shattering. Amazon will have to do something mind blowing next year to get me to part with my dough ray me for a gen 5. The more I listen to Fourplay on Echo the more I’m liking it for the music , nevermind all the super cool stuff I can do on it or my Dots or my Flex .

    People can only have three pods?

    They don’t tell you how many pies you can have. Yeah, you can have as many as you want but they’re not gonna play the same channel on the same music on all of them unless you subscribe to Amazon Music which cost 1599 a month they don’t tell you that so I have three and I bought two more and I am refunding two of them because I want to music playing and all my house so I think the description of the Amazon pods need to be clear that you can only have three that play the same station and music the others are not going to play the music.

    HONEST REVIEW/COMPARISON FOR ALL INTELLIGENT LIFE FORMS.

    This is an honest review and comparison of the new 4th Generation Echo (not Dot) vs. the 2nd Generation Echo Plus (the last Echo Plus that was launched with the 3td Generation Echo).I actually purchased two 4th Gen Echoes to create a Home Theater Group with the FireTV Stick 4k latest variant. I’ll include notes about that as well.Sound Quality Pros: I really enjoy music from different genres and I like to tinker with equalizer settings so that I get the fullest sound out of even a cheap speaker. I also like when a speaker(s) can pull double duty as a surround sound system for my television as well. That’s what attracted me to the new Echoes.Regarding music streaming from Amazon Music HD, I must say the sound is really smooth and crisp. I adjusted the equalizer settings for the individual devices in the Alexa app to boost the mid most, followed closely by the treble and a moderate bass setting (if they are paired in a stereo pair or Home Theater, adjusting one device automatically adjusts the other). I have my Echoes placed about 12 feet away in front of my primary seating spot on the sofa and the are spaced about 8 feet apart flanking the television. They are situated about 4 feet off the ground on book shelves. This positioning has been perfect for the accoustics in my 15×18 living room with tall ceilings. The speakers really fill up the space. And I am most impressed with how the sound bounces off of the walls and truly feel as if it surrounds me and immerses my eardrums into it.This holds even more true for when I watch a movie with the Dolby Atmos setting on. I can hear the channels fairly well and it really seems like I own my own private movie theater in my living room. There’s been times that there’s a sound affect so specific to one channel and reproduced so clearly that I’ve actually muted the show thinking that I was hearing some noise from outside or in the hallway of my apartment building.These two devices together get pretty loud without any noticeable distortion. Now I haven’t played much bass heavy music but I do love action and sci-fi movies that are sound effect laden and peppered with bass booming explosions etc. The new 4th Gen Echoes keep up very nicely.In contrast, though I thought I really loved the Echo Plus 2nd Gen, I now find that I really can’t enjoy music or movies as much on it. I think that this is because the main speaker fires downward and the rest of the sound is omni directional. This sounds good on paper but in practice, at least for my uses, that type of speaker just seems muffled and really a waste of sound waves. Let me explain. How often to you place the Echo device in the center of a room to benefit from an omni-directional speaker? Most people don’t have floor outlets under their coffee tables so it sits on an end table or bookshelf. It’s usual home in a bedroom is on the end table. Even in a kitchen, unless placed on the island, the Echo rests with it’s back to a wall. So, why then, would you want (let’s say) 40% of the sound waves to be directed to a big slab with no ears to appreciate it?The directional sound setup of the new Echo 4th Gen is ideal, really, for it’s positioning in most homes. Sound is really diminished if you are behind it or immediately to it’s side but comes barrelling at your ear drums when you are any angle in front of it. It’s louder, more clear, and much more advanced when it comes to being able to utilize Dolby Atmos playback. I definitely choose the 4th gen over the 2nd Gen Plus any day. I almost feel bad for unloading the Plus onto my parents when I bought the 4th Gen. I’ll upgrade them this Christmas. Lol.The omni-directional speaker would be a benefit if it were placed in the center of a patio for a gathering or party, but again, where’s your outlets? Not in the middle of the concrete or deck floor. So chances are, even on the patio, it will be placed backing up to an exterior wall. So the myth of the omni-directional speaker advantage is busted in my book.Voice Recognition:At first, I felt there was a noticeable difference with the Plus having the upper hand when I comes to summoning Alexa. However, I believe there have been some fairly large software updates recently that included fine tuning adjustments to the mics on the 4th Gen devices. They now clearly pick up my questions or commands from across the room and quickly cancel out the other Echo Dot I have on the far side open floor plan nearest the kitchen. Before, with the Plus, it was a toss up as to which one would respond because I firmly believe the best mics are still on the Echo Dot 3rd Gen with clock variant. Hands down. If only the echo show 5 in my bedroom would be even half as good, I’d be happy ( that unit is by far the worst with just 2 lack luster mics vs the 4 on the Dot and Plus).Alexa is also quicker to respond on the 4th Gen too. Now that’s a combination of the 450-ish gbps internet speed I am fortunate enough to have but I understand it’s also due to a better processor and improved software.And let me just say one thing… I don’t know anyone who buys their smart home devices with Zigbee compatibility being the #1 consideration. Who cares? I have bought the best reviewed for the price smart bulbs, TV, and plugs etc not giving a thought to Zigbee because the latest generation smart devices don’t require a hub.All of my smart home devices work just fine by enabling the skill on the Alexa app with that of the manufacturer’s chosen app and linking the accounts. The biggest issue I have is trying to remember what I named each lamp and group to turn on and off the lights. First world problems, I know.For what it’s worth, the big 3 smart home apps which seems to be used by these el cheapo devices are Kasa, Govee, and Smart Life. I have devices on all three and the Alexa integration is seemless. Except the darn ceiling fan speed control. Still haven’t completely figured that one out entirely.Setting up the devices and Grouping:Both the Echo Plus and 4th Gens are very easy to set up initially. The Alexa app, though not entirely user friendly regarding the UI, does all the work and guides you through the process fairly quickly. The oddball thing that’s a bit more challenging is knowing what the difference is between a stereo pair, a home theater and a speaker group.First, a stereo pair must be two identical models (I believe an Echo Sub woofer can be added as the one off) and the pairing is only for music streaming. Only one Echo will respond at a time when you are conversationally interacting with Alexa.In a Home Theater grouping, one or more Echo devices of the same model can be joined with a FireTV device such as the Stick 4k. A sub can also be added. The crummy part at first, is that you can’t include your existing sound bar into this Home Theater Group. Amazon devices only, folks. So you must choose which you want to listen to.Now, I’m not horribly disappointed because the sound quality of the two 4th Gens on each side of the TV is really great so the sound bar isn’t needed but I hate the thought of the wasted money sitting 32 inches wide in front of me producing no sound at all.IF, you have a smart TV like a Vizio, there is a way to activate the sound bar and have the Amazon Home Theater working at the same time. And here it is: the sound bar must be hooked up to an optical cable and the audio setting on the TV must be set to PCM not automatic. Auto defaults to whatever device you are streaming on ie a FireTV Stick. Then, while playing your FireTV Stick, choose the Home Theater as your audio source on the Fire TV menu. So in essence, the TV thinks it must send sound to the sound bar only while the Stick thinks it should be using the Home Theater. Through whatever glitch, I now have all three speakers working in tandem. BUT ONLY while using the FireTV device. It does not work if I am using the smart TV streaming apps from the Vizio home screen. Which I don’t do anymore except for a couple things that are not found on the Amazon App store.FYI, I don’t believe that the Fire Edition Insignia and Toshiba televisions sold here and at Best Buy have the capability to set up the Home Theater function with the Alexa app.Finally, a speaker group is the best way to get unlike models to sync with each other to play music. However, there’s a catch… You must ask for that group’s every time at the end of your request to play music etc.Meaning, with the stereo pair and home theater, music and movies are automatically played through those selected speakers by means of the Alexa app. You would simply make the standard request for Alexa to play a song or album with no extra added specification. But remember, you’re limited to only pairing the same models together for this to work like that.Now, with a speaker group, you can include your Echoes, Dots, Shows, Spots, Inputs, FireTVs, Tablets etc etc into that group and have them all going at the same time through out your home, so long as you name this all-Echo inclusive group something like “Every where” or “all speakers” or “whole house”. Be creative 🙂 “Echo Symphonic Orchestra”, “Live from the Love Shack”, or “on all decks of the Enterprise” (you can even call your individual room groupings for lights and sounds things like ” the Bridge” -Living Room, “Ship’s Galley” -Kitchen, “Ten Forward” – dining or rec room, “Shuttle Bay Two”-garage, ” Engineering”-utility room/basement, and “Captain’s Quarters”-master bedroom, “Risa” -backyard patio). Lol. Alexa groups can be named whatever you want! I digress though….The point is you have to tell Alexa to play music AND include the name of the speaker group everytime or else music will just play from the device you speak into. Ex: “Alexa play the song Starships on all decks of the Enterprise” or (boring) “Alexa, play Mr. Robot-o, everywhere” or “Play a lullaby in the dirty diaper factory (nursry)”. Get it?! I can sense your mind is starting to ignite like a solid rocket booster, now.I really hope this helps someone. I know it’s been a learning curve for me. And not always a lot of fun. Just wait til you first start exploring how to build your own custom routines or then decide to relocate devices into different rooms as you upgrade with new ones. It can be a labor of love…or regret.Bottom line, if you are looking to upgrade but aren’t entirely sure, try out the new Echo 4th Gen (especially in a pair for a Home Theater) and decide within 30 days if you really like them. Definitely explore the Alexa app and routines. And commit to replacing at least one bulb in each room with a color changing LED smart bulb to experience the fun you can have with this device. Also, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at what many people say is a drawback about being a directional speaker is really a benefit for most user’s needs, including yours.Some people will find fault in anything and some will find that they can’t have everything to their exact liking. There’s not a perfect smart speaker out there, so figure out what you must have features are, your nice to haves, and your deal breakers are and make the choice.Regardless, enjoy these little glimpses of the future. Heck, they’re even spherical shaped just like what the future devices and ships looked like in 2001: A Space Odyssey and Space Balls or a Borg scout ship, even. You gotta think that’s at least a nice nod for sci-fi fans everywhere. Or if you are a devotee of mod design or simply a believer in form following function, then this ball of joy is sure to please. So, enjoy your new Echo; It’s outta this world!-Picard, out. Hailing frequencies closed.

    Easy setup, great for what it is.

    Well, I have to say I love that its a speaker that has Alexa on it. If I had to complain though it would be easy truthfully. The music function. I had the advertised Unlimited plus music feature, after it was advertised as the only way for my grandmother to play certain old songs she was looking for with ease instead of her asking and then getting a different song with an advertisement worked in. However, it worked out for 2 seconds because I thought, why not pay more and get an Amazon Echo dot too for her room ao she could listen through the house. So that apparently added almost 20 bucks a month to a free service we had before. Mind you, I already pay for Prime and I added the Music Unlimited. But because she wanted to play her music softly in her room for ambience and then play it differently in the livingroom, Amazon said she had to upgrade to another more expensive music package called Unlimited Family. Thats the only way to she can listen to music she wants on her devices throughout her home. Again, the service costs more than most video services and is more than spotify, xm radio, or well just about any radio service that allows the option to pick a song via voice recognition these days. They really like to nickel and dime you for the most basic things and it isnt riggt in my opinion. If you pay to have music options through Amazons library, why should you pay more and more for ease of getting to that music? I mean, Amazon music uses to have all the music I could ever look for free with my Amazon Prime membership. And I think they added the voice search feature before this fee on top of a fee thing happened. It is crazy to me that every time you want to actually use the products that come out to the desirable extent they are advertised, you get either microtransactions blown at you, or even worse now you get a hefty monthly additional bill. Again, after being a member with the company paying a monthly fee for over a decade. Why would they think this would keep customer loyalty? All it does is make customers hope for and await another option that has something similar or even a little less nice for a better price. Can you imagine if a competitor like Ebay or Facebook got together and created a decent music library access via buying something like soundcloud or spotify. It has to be easy for the CEOs to themeselves want another option on a platform built similar to the Echo. And people themselves in the public that for the middle class have to like me be eager to seek out that second option. Yes the supply chain and easy shipping options makes it the onlyntrue source to buy things quickly and easily and Prime is still a great deal for that reason. But the echo, the dot, etc… are all just waiting to be taken off the shelves at this rate. And it is awful, because the advertised version and or even the versions where you can use the full functionality after burning a million dollars on unlocking them each month proves the Echo and its component products can do and be great products that make amazon something worth keeping a membership with for years to come. However, selling a product to active prime members and then putting limiters all over the software with the intent to create more monthly revenue on a loyal cusyomer base that you could of just succeeded in making that much more reliant on keeping a membership. Thats jist greedy and dumb at the same time. The echo or other products of this line have zero need to have these extra upcharges is the point. Get rid of them before your customers get rid of the products tge moment a better option becomes viable. Yes we will keep prime for the shipping. But heck, prime video is just rediculous right now with advertisements, fees for decent shows and movies and then just nothing of real value for prime members. It used to be a great service with limited options. But we loved and used it all the same because it was free for Prime members. Same with Amazon music. I loved it and used it all the time. No its advertisements for every song or monthly fees. So tired of the fee onslaught that comes with buying anything that looks like its useful these days. Thats the summary here. Amazon, you dont need to do what your doing. Your products have the ability to be in every household and used regularly everywhere. You will make a killing just selling the next updated color of the echo. Imstead of closing up video and music access. Eat the costs on rights and give it to your prime customers. You already raised rates for that too. But your cutting services on top of raising rates. What are you thinking. Your monopoly isnt unbeatable. Its difficult to see past the day people choose something better knowing what your chains look like right now. But Im telling you, this way of pushing customers for everything you want just because you can at the moment will end up making you the myspace of well….you know. Thats just my and millions of other peoples opinion though right now. So take it for what its worth.

    These are like echo dots on steroids!! Twice as big but sound 5 times Better!!!

    I have my apartment which is not a small apartment and it has a loft as well for my 12-year-old son so he has his own area he’s getting to that age so anyway I had I think 5 echo dots and one echo show that had the visual screen for pictures and things like that but without a subwoofer or anything I was fine with the multi room music and I used it for that and basically also used it so I could just tell any of my echo dots or just basically when I open the door I would say Alexa Turn on my apartment!! Immediately all of my lights would come on and some of them are dimmed to a certain level which you can do in the settings on your Alexa app that most people have on their phones. I even have a couple lightbulbs that are multicolored so I have them set to green and red currently for Christmas!! So the lights all come on when I tell Alexa to do that including my living room TV as well. You can add numerous other items that are compatible with Alexa and/or SmartThings app and you name it. If you don’t have something that is compatible or doesn’t have Bluetooth or wifi etc… as long as you use a plugin for that item you can at MINIMUM turn it off and on with your voice or touch screen on your phone or Alexa show and I bought 2 of these Echoes because my friends have one or more and it is a sphere. So even though it’s twice as big as the echo dot, in the newer generations at least, they started out looking like a hockey puck which is still good and people have them still but I started using Alexa products just a couple years ago so, mine are all round balls that you can talk to and play music and control lights and cameras for security while home or check on your home while you’re not there!!I bought 2 regular Echoes to replace 2 of the echo dots because they have 3 or 4 different speakers in each one!!! Crazy how much sound you get from the dot but the bigger one the regular echo, sounds like a huge floor speaker but it’s just a ball and you can get black or white or blue and more so I got 2 of them to pair together for stereo sound and to my Samsung TV that has an Alexa app built into it. So I can rock out or get surround sound when paired with my TV and Soundbar Sub woofer which I don’t use the soundbar anymore the echoes sounded better but I got them last month. They were 49.99 a piece!!! That’s like half price and why I hadn’t bought them before so for 100 bucks I have a completely wonderful set of speakers that you barely notice and they sound wonderful and you can buy them with a Studio speaker by Amazon or an Amazon Subwoofer bundled for even more awesome sound but I live in an apartment so I don’t want to get kicked out!!! They act as a hub for all of your Amazon devices also so you don’t need anything else but one echo honestly to run all of your lights just get the type of bulbs they suggest and they have bundles for those also and it’s truly amazing what quality of sound and other things that they can do but I have already typed far toooooo much. Start with 1 even for listening to music over the holidays and add devices as you go. That’s what I did and 2 years later I have it set up so we’ll that I can talk to my son when he’s at his Moms house on his echo and my echo here and there’s no need for buying him a cellphone!! Yet!!There’s just so much I could say about what these things do for 50 bucks to get one of them is a steal because you’re just keep adding things and finding different things like grocery list reminders and alarms. It helps you with many things you wouldn’t even imagine.So now, when I open my door to my apartment, I have it set to where the lights automatically come on with my TV. I don’t even have to talk. It’ll do that too so kudos to the designers of these things because they are very affordable and do so much.!!!

    As Usual, Amazon Rocks!

    I am leaving the same exact review for the Echo speakers as I am leaving for this wonderful subwoofer. Amazon has asked for images when I leave reviews, so here are a couple. You can see the Echo Show (a tablet) and my entire system in the Man Cave. It’s all Amazon. Here’s the way to do this. First, I have a Fire TV, as you can see, and then I have speakers hooked up to it along with a separate subwoofer purchased through Amazon for about $100. It sounds like a multi-thousand dollar system. There is no need these days to spend a lot of money because everything is digital. But sometimes I don’t want to turn everything on with regard to the Fire TV but instead I just want to tell Alexa to play my playlists. This is when the Echo speakers you can see, along with this fabulous subwoofer, take over. All that is needed is Amazon Music and my voice and then I get real rock and roll sound with just the subwoofer and the two fourth generation Echo speakers! I listen to Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Beck, Clapton, The Beatles, Rush, Kiss, Yes, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the rest. And I listen LOUD. It doesn’t matter. The Amazon products take the heat and deliver chart-stopping sound with a beautiful sound-stage created by this subwoofer. It is just a small system for when I orally tell Alexa to play my music instead of turning on the other system. But boy is it powerful, with huge bass and a full-control equalizer through the Alexa app. And the bluetooth and Wi Fi never cut off or cut out. I recommend this highly.

    She who must not be named snowball edition

    A friend of mine recently gave me an echo. 2nd Gen. And I didn’t think I was going to wind up using it very much but being visually impaired I wound up using it a lot more than I expected.I came to find out that I could listen to my audible books and also my kindle books read to me which is great for my visual impairment it makes it a lot more enjoyable during the day when I become bored with trying to figure out what is actually on the television with my provision some things are just not watchable like they used to be.But the echo. 2nd Gen. Speakers are well they leave a lot to be desired and I had to add additional speakers so when I saw this item I was like I’m gonna go see what the reviews are like and everyone said they were awesome they’re awesome and so much better than the. 2nd Gen. So I decided to go ahead and get one for my birthday as a gift to myself and additionally I got the battery and the silicone carry case combination to go with it and I can take the thing all over my house in my yard and that is so cool.Since I’ve gotten this particular one though I have found there are so many other things that I can do with it other than just listen to my audio books and kindle books I can listen to podcasts I can get the daily news I can check the temperature in the room that the echo is in it is in which is really cool because I don’t have an interior thermostat in my house I run on a space here and a wood stove so I never know what the interior temperature of my house is but I do now.There are also cool games you can play play I’ve been playing prices right and Trivia and a choose your own adventure kind of game andAre you smarter than a 5th grader by the way I’m smarter than a 5th grader.I opted in for Amazon music and not only am I finding all the songs that I’ve forgotten from my past but I found some really cool new ones things things that I would have never found without this echo.I’ve created playlists that when I’m in the mood for one thing or another I just tell she who cannot be named what playlist I want to hear and all of a sudden there I am.She can also actuate my televisionI have a roku TV but I have also added a fireStick as well and she can actuate both of them and also my easy buzz camera that I have to keep an eye on my front porch and yard and be able to speak to people out there when I have guests without going to the door.Being visually impaired this thing is a real helping hand the only thing would be better is if she could clean my house maybe Amazon will get there eventually.But for now I’m very fond of this deviceOther cool additional thingsI like how much bass the speaker has I like to listen to binaural beats music and meditation music and some dance music for exercise and I can feel the music it’s pretty cool.The speaker is pretty darn decent.I chose the white version because because white is a color that I can see better with my vision the only concern I have is that the speaker cover might eventually get dirty but they get dirty I try to dust it on a daily basis just to make sure.We also are using it for well-to-do list for one, alarms, oh and I’ve set a household network up where the smaller echo. that I was gifted is now in my kitchen and I can play them as a group oop or someone in my kitchen can drop in on me and ask me if I want dinner or if I’m busy and vice versa I can drop in on them as well well additionally I’ve set it up so I can tell it to make phone calls directly from my cell phone and works as a great speaker phone I’ve tested it out a few times and everybody says that they can hear me just fine and clear.By the way for a little fun ask her to Beam me up Scottie. Just be careful of the tribbles.

    Effortless everything. I’m living in the future and that Future is here NOW!

    I have 8 Echos in various rooms and from several generations. Yep, I have a big house… What attracted me to this generation was that onboard voice capabilities that makes response faster and sure, who doesn’t want even better sound quality? I also liked the design better than the looks of the previous generations and that I could see the activity ‘light ring’ when I was sitting down. The spherical designed has some real advantages and it’s apparent in the improved sound. And improved it is. Music is easily better, more complex and effortless. This is NOT supposed to be a blast the neighborhood out speaker, but it did fill a larger room with quality sounding music that is noticeably improved to past generations. Voice commands and responses are practically instant and tigger happy quickly improved… Me likes so much that I replaced 2 of my 8 for in the areas where I am most using them. I even returned my first gen to amazon to get 25$ off then new one. Understand, my old ones are in pristine condition with all the original packaging and boxes, but how great to be able to do this!My whole house is voice controlled, lighting, fireplaces (ceramic logs with LED ‘fake fire lights’), thermostat and as an early adopter of the Echo Voice Assistant, I’ve never looked back. Being able to ask any question, to ask about a stores hours before even driving there to make sure it’s open and then being given the option to phone DIRECTLY from the device, is sweet. And how about NEVER having to touch your alarm clock to hit snooze or turn it off again? Yes please. Get quick and accurate local weather reports instantly, air quality too! Need to be reminded, multiple timers or announcements and intercom functions. Just say the word. I have every news channel I want set in my flash briefing and LOVE these, hearing them most days. Here’s my line up: Daily scripture, this day in history, Fox news, BBC news, Management tip of the day and a few more. You can easily add what YOU want to hear and it’s a treat. I LOVE podcasts and there’s a series called “Hardcore History” with hundred of episodes. Some of which are 6 hours long! What’s cool is I can start one of these while I’m cooking in the kitchen, tell the device to stop when I’m finished and when I later (day, month, weeks or whatever) tell it to “Play Hardcore History” it will name the episode I left off on and pick it up for exactly the same spot! How sweet that??And guys, knock yourselves out because there are thousands of podcasts on virtually any subjects to enjoy and learn from. I love having this ability!!! LOVE, Love, love the ability to always be learning new things from this device while still doing what I do do in the background. There’s so much more and I could literally go on for hours with what a great enhancement this has been in so many ways, learning, security, information, entertainment, news, communications, etc. Being able to have my arms full, walk though my house and just TEll a light to turn on along the way without having to touch or find a switch is sublime! Yep, you need the right lights, but boy, talk about convenience and living in the future now. NEVER going back! Even my landscaping lights and sprinkler control system, my security cameras works with it. And if I want to make an announcement to the whole house, I just say, “Echo, repeat EVERYWHERE” and then tell it what I want to say. And all 8, in every room will go off: “Dinner is in 5 minutes!” So sweet!I also have 2 of the Echo Clocks that work with the device and they are awesome. The LED ring and countdown before the alarm going off is sweet.But guys, I even LOVE just telling the Echo to play rain/storm sound effects and it’s calming, deep and healing. What a wonderful, effortless device with so many capabilities. Even during one of my personal bible studies, I can ask Echo for some background on virtually anyone I reading about and background is forthcoming.Yes, I was an early adopter and man, these are a purchase I’ve never regretted making. I use them EVERY day and they have enhanced my life in ways that are special, rich and convenient. Like something out of a Dick Tracy comic from the 1930’s, this system is here, ripe, mature and developed. I’m such a fan!The only suggestion I have for Amazon would be to give me the option in a metal package. Who wants to dust fabric? Lastly, IF you built in even great Biblical knowledge capability, you’d sell even millions more. Give me a teaching assistant that has a data base to field just about anything biblical I could ask of it.LOVING this product and the direction it’s going. The future IS now and ECHO is the best, most supported, device with thousands and thousands of functions. Thank you Amazon and keep enhancing this baby because I’m upgrading all along the way. I returned on for a discount and the other 1st gen is going to a charity raffle. And heck, it’s in perfect condition with all the original packaging and boxes.Hot Dog!-G

    Alex, turn up the music!

    The Amazon Echo (4th Generation) speaker has a sleek spherical design that is available in three colors: charcoal, glacier white, and twilight blue. It offers great audio quality for its price compared to premium speakers from other known brand, with one 3-inch woofer and two 0.8-inch tweeters that deliver strong bass and clear highs. The Echo has great smart home skills that can take control of compatible devices without the need of a separate hub. One of the neat features of this speaker is that it includes support for Amazon Sidewalk which can extend the range of your smart devices. The Echo also has and 3.5mm audio input/output that can be connected to external speakers or headphones as well as receive audio from other devices. Aside from controlling your devices, the Echo includes Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant that can answer questions, play music, set timers, control smart devices, and so much more.When it comes to my experience with the Echo, I can’t praise it enough. The initial setup is a breeze. There is only a power cable to plug into the device and to an electrical outlet. The Amazon Alexa app does a great job in walking you through the steps to get you up and running. For the most part, the speaker works great. In some occasions, the speaker doesn’t wake up properly when using the wake word, in my case “Alexa.” I’ve noticed that after several days I would have to unplug the device to force reboot it whenever it would happen. However, when Alexa does wake, she can sometimes have trouble hearing me even though she’s placed well in the center of my bedroom. When it comes to audio quality, I’m very impressed. The Echo easily became the go to speaker to listen to when I listen to music at home. For the current price, it’s a great purchase and easy recommendation and even better when it gets marked down on sale. Can’t wait to see what the 5th Gen brings to the table.
