Amazon’s lineup of Echo speakers is fantastic, but why should your access to Alexa be confined only to Echo Dots and the like? Amazon has an awesome new accessory that’s about to be released called the Echo Input. Connect it to any speakers or stereo system and it adds far-field mics as well as Alexa voice controls, essentially turning any speaker into an Alexa speaker! It’s set to be released on Wednesday, so pre-order one now if you want to have it as soon as it’s released.
