Everyone loves Echo speakers. I mean, what’s not to love? Well if we’re being honest, there is one thing that could be improved and that’s the sound quality. Things have gotten better in recent years, but we doubt there’s anyone out there who would compare even the most expensive Echo speaker to something like a Sonos speaker or Apple’s HomePod. Echo speakers are great for using Alexa, but if you want something that handles Alexa and also sounds amazing we’ve got some good news. Amazon’s new Echo Input lets you add hands-free Alexa functionality to any speaker or system you already have, and it’s only $35!
Here’s more info from the product page:
