Best Alexa-enabled Speakers
The Echo Studio features four mics and five powerful speakers, which have a power output of 330W. What’s more, the Echo Studio allows you to call or message anyone who has the Alexa app or an Echo device hands-free. That’s helpful, right? To sum up, if you want a budget Alexa-enabled speaker in India, Echo Dot is overall the best choice. And if you want a portable speaker, go for the Echo Input, while the expensive Echo Studio is for all the audio lovers that wish for the ultimate smart speaker experience.
2. ZEBRONICS Zeb-Smart Bot Speaker
Among the many third-party Alexa speakers, Zebronics is perhaps the only one that actually works quite well. It comes with a built-in Alexa voice assistant and supports most of the Alexa skills. You can play songs from various streaming apps, ask Alexa questions, control smart home devices, and more. The best part about this speaker is that you can double it up as a Bluetooth portable speaker and a wired one.
3. Bose Home Speaker 300
That was all about the affordable Alexa speaker market in India. Now, let us check out some high-end Alexa-enabled smart speakers. Bose Home Speaker 300 is among the most popular smart speakers out there, and it comes with the built-in Alexa voice assistant. As it’s a Bose speaker, there is no question about its sound signature. You get 360-degree audio with thumping bass, multiple music presets to customize the sound to your liking, and more. There’s an array of six mics on board to pick up your voice in a noisy environment.
Marshall Acton II is another expensive Alexa-enabled smart speaker in this lineup. It’s one of the smallest Marshall speakers but produces a well-balanced sound with a wide soundstage. Coming to the Alexa integration, you can control playback from various music streaming apps and also cast music from Spotify. There is support for podcasts, smart home devices, and you can ask Alexa questions as well.
Sony SRS-XB402M has an uncanny similarity to the Apple HomePod, but it comes with the Alexa voice assistant under the hood. It’s a Bluetooth portable speaker and can also act as a wired speaker. It has a long-lasting battery life of 12 hours and is also IPX7 rated, which means the smart speaker is waterproof and dustproof. You also get that extra bass for producing powerful sound in a closed environment.
Like other Alexa speakers, the Sony SRS-XB402M can play any song you want with a voice command, get the latest weather and traffic updates, manage and control smart devices, and more. Lastly, the speaker also has a party light effect and it looks pretty cool. So if you want an excellent Bluetooth speaker with Alexa support, then Sony SRS-XB402M is a solid choice.
In India, the Yamaha YAS-209 Sound Bar is the most expensive Alexa-enabled speaker and comes with a powerful subwoofer and a surround sound system as well. It brings DTS Virtual support for a 3D sound effect, has a wireless subwoofer so you can place it anywhere you want, and 200W of maximum throughput. Also, there is Bluetooth support for wireless streaming from music apps and more.
7. Samsung Wondertainment Smart TVs
Samsung is one of the few TV manufacturers integrating the Alexa voice assistant with its smart TV’s Tizen OS. The company offers both Bixby, its own voice assistant, and Alexa on newer models. Under the Wondertainment series, the 32-inch HD smart TV is the cheapest TV that comes with built-in Alexa. You can voice-control your TV, ask Alexa to play a particular movie, music and you can also control smart home devices right from your TV.
8. LG 43-inch 4K Smart TV
LG is another TV manufacturer that offers multiple voice assistants to its consumers. The company is bringing Alexa along with Google Assistant on select TVs. You can choose which voice assistant you want on your TV from the Settings page. Apart from that, LG has done a great job at integrating Alexa into its webOS platform. Just like Samsung TVs, you can ask Alexa to play movies, music, TV shows, and much more.
Kevin is a not-so-popular TV brand in India, but it entices users with two things. One, a low price, and the second, built-in Alexa support. This TV runs Cloud TV OS, a fork of Android TV, and comes with Alexa in place of Google Assistant. The 32-inch HD TV costs Rs. 13,499 and supports a long list of media streaming apps. As for Alexa support, it’s good and supports all sorts of voice commands.
You can play music by genre, find movies to your particular taste, ask about the weather, and more. Having said all of that, you should check the display quality and after-sales service before you go ahead with the purchase. All in all, Kevin offers a decent Alexa-powered smart TV for the price, and you can consider it.
11. Echo Show 8
Frankly speaking, picking a Fire TV Stick is a much better proposition than buying a TV with built-in Alexa support. As we saw above, there are only limited TVs with Alexa, and the quality is not up to the mark. You can get a smart or non-smart TV with a better display panel and plug in the Fire TV Stick to get all the features and Alexa voice assistant.
