Other Alexa (or Alexa Sangat) speaker
- Amazon Eco Pop for $ 40: Eco pop (7/10, wired recommendations) is a completely small speaker, and is the most cute in Amazon’s lineup. Is this a very good voice? No, it is enough to background tunes or if you are limited to a dom room, but you will get a much better sound for the same size from Eco dot (but you will pay a little more, and you will not get cute as colors!)
- Amazon Eco Show 5 (Third gene) for $ 90: This smart display is another Just-finance option, but it is very small to have a great display, and the included camera does not make it for a bedside table; It is better to go with the above Eco Spot or Eco Dot.
- Amazon Eco Show 10 (Third gene) for $ 250: This smart display has a large sound, but its winning size makes it difficult to fit basically in your home. It is good that when you speak it, it can follow you around you, but a little strange. This is great if you have a big kitchen island that you are always roaming, but not much.
- Amazon Eco Show 15 (Second Gene) for $ 300: This smart display is a good performance, but it clearly wants to double as TV and is not very good yet. I hope that we are watching better TV-related performances in the future to make it worth adding to the kitchen or office. It performs a great job with widgets, however, thanks to a 15.6 inch screen. There is also a big Eco show 21 ($ 400), which is essentially the same thing but big.
- Bang for $ 227 Bang & Olufasen Beosound A1 (Second Jean): Beosound A1 is a durable, beautiful and great-rich listening companion, and in this second generation version it is an Alexa integration to make it an Alexa speaker anywhere. It is a great speaker, but it is more expensive than Sonos Rome.
Other tools with Alexa inside
When you are at home, why only ask Alexa to help? This item lets you take your favorite Voice Assistant with you everywhere.
- Eco Frame (3G General) ($ 330): Wired Review Editor Edrien was fully prepared to hate these combo glasses and headphones, but she really liked him very much. They look good, they are surprisingly comfortable, and the sound is fine – although a little tinni, as the speakers are placed next to your ears. You can respond to the call while running and walk, and the microphone is quite good that she looked as if she was still on her phone. But the charging base is annoying. The arms of the glasses are not quite fit into the stand, and you have to be careful to balance the frame at two points.
- Eco Buds (2021 release) ($ 120): We like the original Eco Buds, but we are a big fan of the 2021 version (8/10, wired’s recommendation). Amazon’s earbuds come with wireless charging, noisy technology and surprisingly ergonomic fit. Better microphone means that Alexa Voice Control also works loudly in the environment. The overall experience of using headphones seems like a future that we have seen in science-fi films. There is a need to set a timer, check the weather or see what happened to your favorite sports team? Just ask these earbuds. Amazon also has a 2023 version ($ 50) which is very cheap, very ugly, and not ANC.
What is Alexa+?
Amazon will soon start rolling new and better Alexa, named Alexa+. This second generation of Alexa Voice Assistant is considered more convenor, capable of executing complex tasks and learning new information and being much more personal. This will be due to power to the generative AI.
It will be available for $ 20 per month, or if you have Amazon Prime membership, then free. If you add an Alexa device to your home, you have a subscription, it is a big jump from a pre -free accessory. Amazon says the initial access will start rolling out next month in the US, the eco show starts with the smart display, especially Eco Show 8, 10, 15 and 21.
How to remove spam from your eco show screen
If you are using an Eco show device, you have seen that the device will show you tons of default material. Game Score! local news! A recipe in which you are interested! This makes the device tired and annoying.
It is reported here that you can control whatever you see:
- Swipe down from the top of your Eco show to pull the menu and select the settings.
- In the Settings menu, choose the contents of the house.
- Above 40 options on this menu and you can togle, and you can remove as much as you can not use. I usually remove all but weather forecasts and recently played audio.
When you are able to close interest-based advertisements from third-party skills (this is under Alexa privacy in the Settings menu), it will not stop all advertisements. The only setting that is advertising is selecting photo display mode, which can either use the library of the photo of Amazon or her own. Only the negative side is that it turns it into a digital photo frame, so you will not see even clock or features like widgets.
