There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Listening is subjective but I feel like the original Echo might have had a little better Sound Stage.
This does everything that my original Echo does for me.
I actually think this device hears me better than the original Echo.
My only complaint is I cannot set the Wake word as I like Echo better than Alexa.
I will most likely be keeping this because of the cool lights and it understands me better so I do not have to repeat myself.
Note: I am deducting one star. It sometimes stalls out/hangs when I give it a command and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. Thank goodness it is not to often.
- Sound quality: during the 5 mins that it worked, I noticed the speaker lacks the mid and high range sounds, but has a good bass.
- Is friendly? Has a quick start guide, but lacks an user manual, the app fails constantly and the touch buttons just don’t respond
- Value / benefit: don’t waste your money, go and get a different option like Sonos
- Design: beautiful and unique design that would worth it if it could emit any sound
This speaker sounds awesome with pretty deep bass, and it supports Spotify as well which is a big plus as well. This is now my go to speaker at home and I love it.
pros: Excellent sound and style. Really excellent sound for the size, tech and price.
cons: App is crap (seriously, check the reviews first), you cannot use it to control the sound system as an Alexa alternative. To my knowledge, there doesn't exist an HK Allure app that doubles as remote control. Which might be fine but...
Alexa goes silent about once a day. She'll still take orders but won't respond which simply isn't acceptable when you need a response such as the time, confirmation of an alarm setting, etc.,...
No clear path to firmware updates and only a hard reset will make her responsive again. Once-a-day HRs are not acceptable.
It's a shame because it really does look and sound excellent. And I came to enjoy, even rely on the Alexa feature, more than I thought I would. But it's going back.
//update: I got the portable version and the sound is no where near as big, but the Alexa feature seems more reliable and it's portable, so I think I'm going to keep that one.

Cons. La configuración es un poco más complicada que lo habitual por los pasos que se deben seguir, a un usuario sin tanto apego a la tecnología podría complicarse un poco. No tiene ecualizador. El volumen manual es algo confuso.
Pros. El sonido es espectacular, muy fuerte y sin distorsión, el grave es potente, en un lugar no muy firme hará vibrar de más la madera o el mueble. Los agudos y medios muy bien equilibrados, no hay distorsión distinguible al máximo volumen. Alexa está a nada de ser el mejor asistente, es casi incomprensible que casi a todo tiene respuesta.
A favor y en contra, la alta sensibilidad de los micrófonos, oye tan bien, que al estar viendo la tv y que en ella se mencione su nombre, va a contestar..
Es un gran equipo, lo he recomendado a muchos de mis contactos, así como en esta breve reseña.
Concluyendo, si lo que buscas es una buena calidad de sonido, buen volumen y a mi parecer suficiente peso en los graves para no distorsionar cualquier canción, es la bocina que buscas. Si solo quieres una bocina inteligente, aquí no es, vas a lidiar mucho para su configuración y te vas a desesperar.
