Amazon Introduces New Alexa-On-Device Echo Models and Updated Echo Studio Spatial Audio

After two years without any relevant announcements on the smart speaker arena, Amazon announced updated versions of its popular Echo devices. All-new Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock deliver up to two-times the bass of the previous generation, add a temperature sensor, double as eero mesh wifi extenders. More significant, the Echo Studio flagship features a new spatial audio processing technology and upgraded drivers to do what it promised when it launched four years ago.

Believing that hands-on exploration is the key to sparking a child’s curiosity, Bose Corporation has officially launched BOSEbuild, the company’s new “build-it-yourself” category focused specifically on kids. BOSEbuild’s first product is the Speaker Cube, a complete kit that lets kids explore the science of sound by making a Bose Bluetooth speaker – and use their creativity to personalize it with colors and covers.
