Echo Portable Speaker

The best Amazon Echo so far. It's portable with Mission Battery (bought separately)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Portable Bluetooth Speaker is so nice and sleek  the quality is really amazing and the sound that comes from the portable speaker sounds great.  However, the design so unique and  I like how you can carry it on the go wherever you choose.  One thing like about the  Portable Bluetooth Speaker is how it has a arm wristlet that you can carry in hand   and also how easy it is to connect it to your Bluetooth as well.  Overall,  I would definitely recommend to anyone whose looking for a really great  portable speaker  to use anytime you like.  Nonetheless, it's very easy to charge it which is awesome.

the speaker is amazing, sound is really good, microphones sound really good as well, you can adjust the microphone echo and reverb which makes this unit way above the rest, if you are hesitating to buy it dont its great, just charge up the built in battery and your all set, that alone makes this speaker incredible, only one thing its a bit underpowered but if your looking for intense power then you pay for it, to me this is the perfect portable speaker Cheers !!

Let’s be clear the HomePod was never meant to be a smart speaker. Instead it was designed and developed to produce outstanding sound in a compact package within the Apple ecosystem and that is exactly what it does. The sound of speakers is truly subjective and to say if Google Home or Sonos is the better speaker is just that, subjective. One thing is clear the tinny sounding echo or echo dot does not compete in sound quality to the HomePod. Siri does not compete in answering trivia, playing fireplace sounds etc. like Alexa. �Siri does take commands in a low voice and does it well. Ask it to play music, set an alarm, play the news, or give the weather no problems. Is it as robust as Alexa? No but it wasn’t made to be that way. Shortcomings? A few... can you ask Siri to stream other music providers through voice commands? No, but you can stream it through Airplay. HomePod does many things well and yes shortcomings exist but the software exists within the HomePod for future upgrades. HomePod is still new but if you are looking for amazing sound particularly if you are signed up to Apple Music you will not be disappointed.

I use this mic to make short films for our community connection outreach projects at the police department. Very clean and crisp. I recently used it to film a meeting in a place with a lot of echo, and i was sure the speaker's words were going to be lost and that i would have to spend a while on noise reduction, but no, picked up the speaker, minimal echo, I was very surprised, maybe you can get a better sounding mic, but for hundreds more that's for sure. This mic will make a difference in your films, no matter what you shoot. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that it has a metal liner plate inside the base for boom poles of two sizes to screw in securely. If i was to make one suggestion, it would be to make the mounting shoe out of metal, just to reduce the unlikely POSSIBILITY of it breaking,

Compared to the Amazon Echo speaker that I had previously, this had incredible sound. I can hear things that I didn't even know existed in the songs before.

Love the Play 5. Waiting to have this beautiful speaker work wirelessly with Amazon Echo. Have the Echo Dot connected via the jack with a cable.

I love the quality of sound this speaker produces and how easy it was to setup. I hooked up an echo dot to it and it's easily my favorite gadget in the house.

I currently use this to switch the stereo output on my laptop's Echo IOx soundcard between headphones and a speaker amp. Makes it easier to keep working on beats when people around are sleeping or become understandably irritated by hearing the same 4 to 8 bars of music over-and-over for half an hour. -Ki Salem Beats

As dosent have Alexa built in, have connected with an Echo Dot. Connection not perfect . However the speaker produces a great sound, for our large kitchen-diner. Powerful bass, and a good app, to stream music.
