It's part of the new mid-range lineup of smart speakers, a notch above an Echo Dot or Mini but below a Studio or Max, competing directly with the new $99 Echo and HomePod Mini, despite opting for rectangles over spheres. It's no Sonos One or Marshall Uxbridge Voice, but it costs half as much. For a small, sub-£100 speaker that can fit easily into your home the sound quality is seriously good. Beyond that, there are no splashy new features or major advances to the category here, what is most noteworthy is the audio chops. ![]() |
