Amazon had a heck of an event earlier this week, announcing more than a dozen new devices and what seemed like a million new Alexa skills. All those new Alexa features are awesome, of course, but the new gadgets obviously took center stage. There were so many cool new devices announced on stage at Amazon’s big press conference, and now we have some great news: All the best ones are available for preorder!
The new Echo Buds were definitely the star of the show. They’re Amazon’s first true wireless earbuds and they’re about much more than just hands-free access to Alexa. They also have incredible sound quality, Bose noise reduction technology, and even support for Siri or Google Assistant. Also available for preorder is the new Echo Flex, which might be the sleeper hit of Amazon’s event. It’s the least expensive Echo smart speaker Amazon has ever made at just $25, and it doesn’t take up any space since it’s all enclosed in a wall adapter. The high-fidelity Echo Studio smart speaker can be preordered now as well, as can the new Echo Dot with Clock and the Echo Glow. If you want even more futuristic Alexa gadgets, you can also sign up for an invitation to order the new Echo Loop Smart Ring and Echo Frames Eyeglasses with Alexa! Check out all the details below.
