Our Verdict

8
Very Good

The sound quality on this small speaker is surprisingly good (there's even a little bit of bass). With Alexa built-in, you do not need to pair it with your smartphone in order to play music. It can also give you the weather and control your smart home devices, although you do need to press a button in order to invoke Alexa (it is not always listening). Battery life is somewhat short at only 4-5 hours and it takes about 20 seconds to power up and connect to WiFi each time you want to use it.

PROs

  • Alexa built-in
  • Great sound quality
  • Supports Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, Spotify and TuneIn

CONs

  • Alexa requires a button press
  • No Pandora radio support
  • Maximum 5 hour battery life
  • Slow to power up
