Amazon Echo - Smart speaker with Alexa

• Amazon Echo is a hands-free smart speaker that you control using your voice. It connects to Alexa – a cloud based voice service to play music, make calls, check weather and news, set alarms, control smart home devices, and much more.
• Echo has powerful speakers that fill the room with immersive 360° omnidirectional audio, and deliver crisp vocals and dynamic bass response.
• Just ask for a song, artist, or genre from your favourite music services like Amazon Prime Music, Saavn, and TuneIn. Using multi-room music, you can even play music across multiple Echo devices at the same time.
• With seven microphones, beam-forming technology, and noise cancellation, Echo hears you from any direction-even in noisy environments or while playing music.
• Call or message anyone hands-free who also has an Echo device or the Alexa App. Simply ask "Alexa, how do I set up calling?" to get started. You can also use Alexa to make Skype calls.
• Controls lights, plugs, and more with compatible connected devices from Philips, Syska, TP-Link and Oakter.
• Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new features and skills. Just ask Alexa to order food from Zomato, request a ride from Ola, book a carpenter from Urbanclap, and more.

People review :

1) Nice device. Like the sound quality. Like the way it understand our language. However sometimes, don't like the responses it gives when asked to play some songs. When there are multiple songs with similar lyrics it does play the one I want. It does not give options which one I actually intended to listen, just plays the search output it found. When I say 'Alexa Play Tera ghat by gajendra Verma' it plays someother songs from gajendra Verma playlist but not the song I wanted. Sometimes it plays a different song with lyric Tera ghata( old Hindi songs). Aurracry in song results is not that great (most of the times it gets it right). I really want Alexa to integrate with gaana, however it has only tie ups with saavan and Amazon music.

Like the religious skills integration. You can ask it to play from Bible, bhagwat geetha, Quran for as long as u want.
Like the news integrations with flash briefings options.
Booking cabs with ola Uber finding latest movies being played around u etc are also great. quiet often i use Alexa to tell me word meanings. Also like to play medication and healing music at times. Nice welcome addition to family for sure .

2) This product is amazing, no wonder on that. You have an AI that can make your day convenient. The audio output is quite good and the overall functionality of this device is brilliant.

I have deducted one star just because it cannot run on battery and you have to keep it plugged in all the time but if you can compromise on that you have an excellent product

3) using it for last few months. quite helpful companion. not always correct though in finding the music i am searching for but is getting intelligent day by day. music, information delivery, voice recognition, reminders, alarms, news, reading, and so much more it does at home.

4) Overall it is a well voice commanding device to ask any genral knowledge, play song, tell a story, read a kindle book, traffic, weather, place a order on amazon, order food on zomato and whats not!!!

5) This device is Awesome... If a person is tech savvy then Alexa is everything. Keep adding skills and it works fantastic.

Simple to operate. Sound quality is Amazing
