There may come a day when every speaker out there is an Alexa speaker. After all, who wouldn’t want access to Amazon’s awesome virtual personal assistant on all of their speakers? Today isn’t that day, though, which is why the Amazon Echo Input exists. The company’s Echo speaker lineup is great, but you’ll never get the same quality of sound on an Echo Speaker as you would on a premium speaker. But if you connect the Echo Input to any auxiliary input, you’ll get instant hands-free access to Alexa! It’s well worth the $35 Amazon charges, but right now you can snag them for $19.99 a piece.
Here’s some additional info from the product page:
- Echo Input adds Alexa to an external speaker and connects via 3.5 mm audio cable or Bluetooth.
- Can hear you from across the room—even when music is playing.
