Product Description
Amazon Echo is a hands-free speaker you control with your voice. Echo connects to the Alexa Voice Service to play music, answer questions, make calls, send and receive messages, provide information, news, sports scores, weather and nore. All you have to do is ask.

Echo is also an expertly tuned speaker that can fill any room with immersive sound. It has severn microphones and beam-forming technology so it can hear you from across the room - even while music is playing. When you want to use Echo, just say the wake word, ""Alexa"", and Echo lights up and responds to your request.

Voice Control Your Music
The 2nd generation Amazon Echo has a 2.5"" downward-firing woofer and 0.6"" tweeter powered by Dolby, delivering crisp vocals and dynamic bass throughout the room. You can play music from Amazon Music, Spotify, Tuneln and more. With Amazon Music, you can search by lyrics, time period or let Alexa pick the music for you.

Alexa, Play Music Everywhere
Want to play music on an Echo in another room? Now with multi-room music, you can tell Alexa to play across your Echo devices-available for Amazon Music, Tuneln and Spotify (coming soon); Bluetooth not supported. Tell Alexa to play jazz in the kitchen, top pop in the living room, or play the same song downstairs.

Voice-control your home
Use Amazon Echo to switch on the lamp before getting out of bed, turn up the thermostat while reading in your favourite chair or dim the lights from the couch to watch a film-all without lifting a finger. Echo works with lights, locks, switches, TVs, thermostats and more from Philips Hue, WeMo, TP-Link, Sony, Hive, Nest, Samsung SmartThings, Netatmo, Tado and more.

Handsfree Calling
With Amazon Echo, you can easily talk hands-free to anyone who has a supported Echo device or the Alexa App—no tapping or searching required.

With the Drop In feature enabled for room-to-room calling, quickly connect with Echo devices in your home. Let your household know when dinner is ready, ask someone for help with a chore or remind the kids to go to sleep - without having to raise your voice.

Far Feild Voice Recognition
Tucked under the light ring is an array of seven microphones that use beam-forming technology and enhanced noise cancellation. The 2nd-generation Amazon Echo has improved wake-word performance to hear you ask a question from any direction - even in noisy environments or while playing music at loud volumes.

When you want to use Echo, simply say the wake word, “Alexa”, and Echo lights up and connects to the cloud, where the Alexa Voice Service recognises and responds to your request.
