My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youSeriously, the amazon ones sound pretty good, even the £45 one that goes on offer for £22 sometimes
The google home we got (£89) sounds shit compared to the small echo
Also note that (last time I checked) the small Echos have a 3.5mm output you can run into a proper hifi, which is the way I use them in 3 rooms
Its quite good fun for a few days but now lies under my bed, unplugged and unused.
One reason only, headphone out jack so I can link it to a proper sound system.
However Spotify integration is not as good I find the Alexa AI can often give you wrong results and does not always understand I want it to play and album rather than a song of the same name, even if I state is, i.e. play the album xyz by ABC.
Google does it perfectly
I switched from Alexa to Google and much prefer it. I actually think the Google Home Hub sounds better than the Echo Show it replaced.. And the Google Home Hub is like a mini chromecast TV so it's great for watching films on. I think the Google Home Hub is currently the most perfect bedside table smart device.
And we've given each of the kids bedroom a Home Mini too. As we have a Family Google Music sub they use it for their music listening needs. For a little speaker it sounds surprisingly good for them.
You can also cast to Home Minis which is handy sometimes.
beware everyone about the "drop in" feature on echos - basically an audio or even video call that auto-answers. I disable this on mine
15 year old son liked it so much that he’s ordered one and even my “technology aloof” wife was impressed.
Oh! You meant what did I buy? An Echo Dot
remember to disable "drop in" and don't allow it to order from your amazon account
