Abstract: Even though Google Home has been on-sale in Australia since last year, it wasn't the first smart speaker announced – instead that honour goes to the Amazon Echo, a speaker powered by Amazon's virtual assistant: Alexa.The shopping giant entered the Austr...
Not great at answering questions, Limits on compatible software and services
If you're more smart-home savvy, invested in Amazon's video and music streaming ecosystem or turned-off by the look of the Google Home, this might well be the smart speaker for you...

Abstract: It seems like every new wireless speaker on the market comes with a voice assistant now. Since 2014, when Amazon announced the Echo, the idea of a smart speaker has taken the gadget world by storm. Apple has finally thrown its hat into the ring with the r...
Abstract: Amazon's Echo smart speakers, powered by the talkative Alexa assistant, offer an option for every room in the smart home. But an incomplete launch puts it at a disadvantage in the war of words with Google and Apple.Three Amazon speakers are available in A...
Abstract: The original Amazon Echo was an ugly black tube -- a speaker meant to be set back in the corner, hidden from view. It was a cheap imitation of the computer from Star Trek. The new Amazon Echo is a much prettier device. It's not suddenly faster or smarter...

Loads of Skills you will never use, UK apps are there but hard to find, the Alexa app is basi

Multipurpose, Natural AI, Impetus to better Prime Music
Caters to Prime, Lackluster sound quality, Echo app needs work
As purely a Bluetooth speaker, the Echo leaves a lot to be desired. Paired with a natural, engrossing AI, however, Amazon's grand experiment in artificial intelligence is one of the most interesting gadgets I own...

The Echo's sound quality is uneven at times, with weak bass at high volumes. The growing list of "Skills" in the Alexa app could also benefit from better organization
The Amazon Echo is a likable "smart" speaker that will grow on you as it continues to improve...
Easy way to add Alexa control to existing speakers, Compact hardware is easy to set up, Cheapest - on paper, at least - Echo device so far, Flexibility of Bluetooth or bundled 3.5mm cable
Amazon's own promotions make Echo Dot cheaper, Can run into standby issues with external speakers, Can't control Bluetooth pairing by voice
The argument for a $34.99 Echo Input, then, is a tricky one. Yes, it's smaller than an Echo Dot, but you can't take advantage of that fact to hide it away entirely: after all, the microphones need to be able to hear you. Doing away with the onboard speake...
Adds significant bass to an existing Echo speaker setup, Pairing with other speakers is straightforward
Expensive
Ultimately, there's no question that the Echo Dot and Echo Plus are going to continue to sell: They're important products for the company, and these new models are dramatic improvements over their predecessors. Fewer people will buy two specifically to pa...
