Amazon Echo, Black
Echo has seven microphones and beam-forming technology so it can hear you from across the room—even in noisy environments or while playing music. Echo is also an expertly tuned speaker that can fill any room with 360° immersive sound. When you want to use Echo, just say the wake word "Alexa" and Echo responds. If you have more than one Echo or Echo Dot, Alexa responds intelligently from the device you're closest to with ESP (Echo Spatial Perception).
Amazon Echo also provides hands-free voice control to Spotify and TuneIn. Plus, Echo is Bluetooth-enabled so you can stream other popular music services like iTunes from your phone or tablet. Echo has been fine-tuned to deliver crisp vocals with dynamic bass response. Its dual downward-firing speakers produce 360° omni-directional audio to fill any room with immersive sound.
When you want to use Echo, simply say the wake word, "Alexa", and Echo lights up and streams audio to the cloud, where the Alexa Voice Service is leveraged to recognise and respond to your request.
Always getting smarter
Alexa—the brain behind Amazon Echo—updates through the cloud automatically and is continually learning, adding new functionality and skills. The more you use Echo, the more it adapts to your speech patterns, vocabulary and personal preferences.

You can also see ratings and reviews to learn what other customers are saying about skills in the Alexa App.

Echo now supports IFTTT (If This, Then That), a third-party service that allows you to create rules (or "applets") that automate how your devices, apps and websites work with each other.
Do more with the Alexa App
