Design

This sleek smart device is all matte black exterior in a cylindrical shape (9.25 x 3.27). One other significant difference is that echo isn’t exactly portable. It has to plug in every now and then. In the US, echo is available with a remote which can be controlled from your phone.
Controlling radio stations via echo is quite possible and simple. It is power packed with noise canceling technology even in the noisiest crowd Alexa can hear you.

Setup

The setup is quite simple and easy as Amazon offers a list which you can say to your device while you set up. The list is quite simple and that makes the whole process easier. But before you speak to the device make sure to install the setup properly.
To connect Alexa to your home network you need to download Alexa companion on your Android or iOS device and follow the instructions as you plug in amazon echo simultaneously.
This app is not only for Amazon echo so if you’ve any other device other than echo then it will appear on Alexa as well.
The device prompted to manually connect through Echo through our wireless settings by picking Amazon in the settings but it might ask you wait for few seconds before completely set up.
Once you’re done the next step is to select your Wi-Fi network and once you enter the password you’re on with a confirmation message and all this is done in two minutes.

Sound Quality

Whilst the Amazon echo can adjust the quality of the sound near the upper and lower limits leaves a lot of room for improvement. The more confined space
It can get super loud and the sound is great and works great if you’re a music buff. It is no doubt a Bluetooth speaker of future. It surprisingly delivers very richly and solid and especially with the 360-degree speaker, it can fill the room quite nicely. With that being said the echo doesn’t have the absolute best sound quality but with this price, it is good to go with. It is much more than a speaker.
