Microphone hopeless

Reviewed in Australia on 19 November 2020

Colour Name: CharcoalVerified Purchase

I'm really disappointed with the new Echo. While the so-called premium sound really doesn't sound much better than my prior Echo, that hasn't turned into as much of a disappointment as the microphone. I sit four or five feet away from it and it only wakes to my voice perhaps 60% of the time. In fact, the echo I have in the next room and down the hall wakes nearly 100% of the time and responds while the new one does nothing. It is incredibly frustrating! With the new echo, it doesn't matter if I'm right next to it, raising my voice over the top of it, shouting at it, or repeating Alexa 20 times in different ways or volume levels! It's hard to express how bad it is!

It's a pretty piece of decor and that's all

I had really high hopes for this but it rarely responds to my voice and sound quality is poor to fair. Not sure why Amazon would release this when it's an inferior product. Our Echo Dots work great, I was after something for a bigger room but there's really no need, and I certainly wouldn't recommend this. It's basically a very pretty round ball with blue lights, it's that's what you're after then this is for you!!! If you want a good speaker, buy something else. If you want a good unit to run Alexa, stick with the Dot. Honestly, don't buy this. It is just plain useless and won't pick up your voice.

Edit: after getting help from Amazon and installing a pending firmware update the microphone seems a lot better than it was.

The microphone almost never picks up my voice yet older models in other rooms always do even with a whisper. The only way it hears me is if I'm right on-top of it not very happy would rather older versions ,😕

Excellent audio, however the microphone or microphones don't seem as sensitive as those in the Echo 2nd Gen; hopefully a software update will sort it out.

Very Easy to use Device

Colour Name: Twilight BlueVerified Purchase

Writing this review as a first time smart-speaker owner, I don't have any real comparison to similar products.

Setup was a breeze. Under 5 minutes from opening the box I had it fully working with my voice. No unnecessary packaging or complicated guides, just a 1 page quick-start.

Sound quality is good. It isn't something that I was blown away by, but the music I listen to stays clear enough in my medium sized room even at the loudest volume.

Construction feels solid. I'm fairly sure the courier threw it over my fence and the product sustained no damage. The blue colour is fairly subtle and goes with most of my furniture, happy with this decision over the more bland white/ black options.

The virtual assistant (Alexa/ Echo) works well and for me was very intuitive. The app is able to teach you any voice commands if you are wondering how to set up a very specific thing, but I've found my first guess almost always works. It was also able to respond to French commands as well as English without any additional setup.

Used this speaker predominately to play music/ set timers while I'm cooking, or to get a news/ weather update while I'm running around doing my morning routine. Very convenient being able to set these things up when your hands are busy.

Overall very happy with my purchase.

Good, but sound could be better

Reviewed in Australia on 15 July 2021

Colour Name: Twilight BlueVerified Purchase

I think it does a great job of being a smart speaker that sits inconspicuously in the corner. The sound is decent but surprisingly not as good as last year's Echo Show 8. I was hoping that the spherical shape would lend itself better to 360 degree sound so as to provide more clarity of sound. I also would have expected a similar volume of sound too. As it is, the maximum volume is equal to the Echo Show 8 on 80% volume. When it is attempting to reproduce cinematic type music, with deep lows, rather than calibrate itself to not go beyond its ability, it tends to distort.

Other than that, I am glad for my purchase as we use it daily.

Get to know Alexa

Colour Name: Glacier WhiteVerified Purchase

The Echo was my first buy into home automation. That and a smart light bulb.
As I play and explore my way through the many aspects of Alexa and reference the masses of support available, it's not hard to accept that such devices will become part of our appliances and homes and thus into our lives in the future. As a fan of SciFi the idea of a house AI is not a new concept but the reality is much closer than I had thought. After saying goodnight to my wife I then say goodnight to "Alexa" who turns off the lights. As I am closing rapidly on 70 I look forward to lots of further interactions.

Overall, I'm pretty impressed

Reviewed in Australia on 11 July 2021

Colour Name: CharcoalVerified Purchase

I bought this product during the Prime Day sales which definitely helps with the 5 star review. If I had paid full price I may have dropped a star from the overall rating.
I've only used a Google Nest prior, which I found fairly woeful in voice response. This, however, picks up about 90% of what my family says/shouts/whispers at it with accuracy. I like the sound quality for our needs, it sits on the kitchen counter so the volume rarely gets cranked above 60%. Bass, mids, and treble all seem good when streaming music. We only have a couple of 'smart' things around the house - lights, fan, tv - but it controls them as it should. It looks good too. One of the biggest downsides to the Amazon ecosystem is the Android Alexa app, it seems quite sluggish at times...but maybe I have just grown impatient these days, unwilling to wait 4+ seconds for something to load.

If the price drops again I'll probably buy a couple more.

Overall, I'm pretty impressed.
