  • If you can get past the creepiness of having a device listening to your every move, the $149 Amazon Echo 2 is the best-value smart speaker available. If want better sound quality, however, the bigger Amazon Echo Plus is worth the extra $80.OverallSpecs$14...

  • More compact and colourful, Alexa is constantly getting smarter, Great price
  • Sound is merely OK
  • As the Alexa family gets bigger, with an impressive array of differently-shaped and ever more complex devices, the new Echo delivers on a simple upgrade promise: it's cheaper, looks sleeker, and performs (mostly) better.It's not without compromise. For an...

  • La Amazon Echo 2 es más barata, compacta y atractiva que su predecesora. Además, el exterior de la bocina puede ser personalizado, integra toda la inteligencia que ha hecho popular a Alexa y mantiene un conector para añadir una bocina externa más potente
  • Tiene exactamente la misma inteligencia artificial de la Echo Dot (la más barata) y las otras Echo, el aro que te permite controlar el volumen ya no está presente y su app tiene campo para mejorar
  • La Amazon Echo 2 es la bocina inteligente para los que quieren un balance entre precio y sonido; mantiene toda la inteligencia de Alexa y presenta mejoras frente a su predecesor...

  • Design sobre et soigné, La sortie auxiliaire, Son meilleur que le Google Home, Beaucoup de Skills (et plus à venir)
  • Son encore un peu pauvre pour servir de système unique, Incompatible avec l'écosystème Google (Android TV, Chromecast, Play Music. ) et Apple, Les appels uniquement entre contacts Alexa, Une reconnaissance vocale encore perfectible
  • L'Amazon Echo est un bel objet, qui s'intègre plutôt bien à un intérieur, et avec de nombreux avantages. Reste qu'une enceinte connectée ne peut clairement pas être décorrélée de l'IA qui alimente ses interactions, ce serait comme noter un smartphone sans...
