  • So what is the big difference between the new 2nd generation Amazon Echo and the 1st generation Echo. I have had the New Amazon Echo 2nd gen for almost 2weeks now so figured it was time to make a review. Here are 6 new features on the new 2nd gen Amazon Echo that the 1st generation Echo didn't have. A quick comparison of the new and old Echo's and some other tips I have learned about the new Amazon Echo.

    like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

    First off love the tats and beard! Really like how you explained the whisper and how Alexa still hears it. I am getting one for my mom who is going in a nursing home, and talks very low. Still need to find out how to use a phone, lights, TV, and what you need to do this. Thank you! 😊

    About the BT issue with multiroom, it may be related to the fact that BT adds latency and it will be different depending on the speaker so you'd have echo if you can hear 2 speakers from the place you are.

  • @AltAgent
    @AltAgent 5 лет назад +1

    One awesome option that I don't think you mentioned is that there's a 3 band Equalizer in the software. The third gen Echo Dots come with a little muddy sound but you can bring down the bass and bring the treble up and they sound even more amazing.....have a look!

    Wife got one from work as a Christmas gift just yesterday and it is an interesting thing. Sounds good and so far it's getting to be useful. Used it as a cooking timer and ask it the date and weather. Easier than using the computer and I can see lots of other hands free tasks. Using it for music on Amazon prime now. Good review.

    • @JeremySiers
      @JeremySiers  7 лет назад

      +epiphonium yeah, that’s pretty much what I use mine for, little things. Super helpful little crap that make it super handy to be hands free. Also love the fact that with amazon music you can pretty much ask it to play any song and boom..it
      Plays. Don’t think I’ve ever asked it to play anything it didn’t have. 👍🏻

    Good review. I was hoping you were announcing a new feature. Maybe you said it or I missed it but the Multi Room Music function works no matter which device you have. Can’t wait till Amazon releases a new update to the software. Yeah I like the volume ring at the top too.

    • @JeremySiers
      @JeremySiers  7 лет назад +1

      +4daluvofnikki Thanks!! Yeah, I love the fact that the multi room feature works on the gen 1 echo’s. I had one so made it nice to be able to use that feature without buying all new equipment. They did a good thing there. Some companies lock you in to buying new stuff by not allowing new features on their older products. Gotta give amazon a 👍🏻 on that one! Glad you like the vid!

    Nice job. I purchased the Dot over the weekend. Set it up and was so impressed I bought the Echo two days later. I’m amazed at how fast this thing responds to some of my questions that clearly wouldn’t have stock answers. For example, “how’s my commute?” on two consecutive days suggested two different routes to my office in an instant. At last, I can forget about stressing over Christmas present ideas for one year 😉

    After this perfect review I went and ordered one. I am in the UK and they had an offer on. Normally £89.99 but prime customers got an extra £20 off till April 30th 2018. Comes tomorrow I cannot wait. I am chuffed I got it for only £69.99 which I believe is 97.51 US Dollar. Sounds expensive there :-)

    Even though it wasn’t a fancy schmancy scientific test, I completely trust your opinion on the sound given the overall nice and friendly vibe I got from this video. It seems reviews of tech these days sink into a whole ‘scientific opinion’ mentality. Like to make a solid review you *must* include a bunch of negatives but you only had one little nitpick and honestly that was enough because you perfectly explained why it doesn’t really need any other negatives. So overall, nice solid review. I’m gonna pick one up . 😁

    Great review! i would like to add that I own both of these. One I purchased for my parents (original)and one (new version) was purchased for me as a christmas present. I see no difference between the sound, however I do think the newer one listens better. Both are wonderful and my parents (after keeping unplugged for over a year) are now really enjoying it (after I set it up on my account) and I think the volume wheel is much better for them. I think I scared them after dropping in the first time, but they were delighted that I could do that and really happy that they could do that with me and my brother. Still Waiting to see if they can remember how to drop in on us.

    Jeremy! The reason why BT multiroom feature is not supported is hardware. Trying to Sync multiple BT without APT-X technology would make sound creepy like music echoing by miliseconds. Sure they could introduce APT-X (or better) making devices more expensive (that is half the fix because in order to make it work you need APT-X on the other end too!) or implement live audio delay fix (software) so everytime all echoes would live-sync listening to each other. Lol. That is easier said than done. Wire is simply a non-delay sound (for regular homes). I was disappointed as well having three dots at home each one connected via BT to sound bars :) but... c'est la vie

      +Crazy Will Tech Show Awesome, glad it helped! Both are great devices. Only real big difference between the echo and the echo plus that I️ have seen is that the plus can function as a smart device hub. So if that’s something you need go with the plus. If it’s not, go with the echo which is cheaper and has interchangeable sleeves. Just my humble opinion. 😉

    Good review, I just purchased one with you help. On the blue tooth speaker connection on multi room play. I tried it on the eco 1 St. Gen and echo dots 2nd gen. The blue tooth speakers do work on multi room but it disconnects after like 10 songs then I have to reconnect the blue tooth. Happens every so often but does work. Blue connectivity sounds better than the aux connection in my opinion. Thanks for the help.

    • @JeremySiers

      The echos need to have wall power. They do not have a internal battery. You can purchase battery cases for them which would allow you to use them unplugged. I have a video on one of the options out there. There are a bunch of goods ones out there though. Here is a link to the review I did if you want to check it out. ruclips.net/video/nzXWldv2S-E/видео.html

    Really good. Clear concise, minimal jargon, comprehendible. Thanks.
    Question though:
    We live in a fairly big and very old House (just a fact).
    Can I use Echo Dot 2 downstairs paired (synch'd) over Bluetooth with Sonos speakers (downstairs)
    and
    Echo 2nd Gen upstairs unpaired - no speakers up yet, so Ech 2 speaker capability needed.
    May link both Amazon Echo's at later date when that can be done WITHOUT wires.
    THANKS AGAIN.

    • @JeremySiers
      @JeremySiers  6 лет назад

      +WildlifeObsessed thanks glad you liked the vid!! As for your question. It’s tough to say. I have found, in general, that Bluetooth isn’t great in a house at long distance. But as long as your dot is with in a reasonable distance to your Sonos speaker there should be no problem there. The second second gen upstairs would be fine as long as you were using the one upstairs and the one downstairs independently. Like I mentioned for now the multi room music function doesn’t work when using a Bluetooth connected speaker. So if you tried to run the two echos in the same group so that they were synced and played the same music upstairs and downstairs the echo dot would disconnect from the sonos. Sorry if that was a little wordy or confusing. Hope that somewhat answered your question. If not feel free to ask a follow up question, lol. 😉

    Sound is great. Good balance of bass & treble. I haven’t seen any thing about it being portable I.e. it doesn’t always have to be plugged in to electricity. Is it portable.?

    • @JeremySiers
      @JeremySiers  6 лет назад

      Nope, pretty sure it needs to stay plugged up. If you want a portable option, check into the Echo Tap. That is their portable device.

    Great review! You’ve helped me out majorly with purchasing the Echo 2nd Gen rather than the 1st gen! I’ve just purchased an Echo Dot due to the Black Friday deals and will probably buy more for the multi-room function. You’ve got a new subscriber and a like to this video!

    • @JeremySiers
      @JeremySiers  7 лет назад +1

      +Iain McFadyen Thanks!! Glad the video was helpful! 👍🏻 Those Black Friday and cyber Monday deals are always good to take advantage of! Don’t forget those dots are great for having Alexa all over the house but the speakers aren’t awesome for listening to music. With how small they are the speakers just aren’t real strong. You’ll prob want to hook them to an external speaker with the 3.5mm jack for the best sound quality. Just my humble opinion. 😉. Good luck with your new devices. I’m sure you’ll love them.

    • @thedisneylad
      @thedisneylad 7 лет назад

      JeremySiers thanks for the tip regarding external speakers. I’m not worried about the sound quality from the Dots as it’ll just be telling Alexa this and that. I’ll get an Echo for the living room, like you have I think you said in the video! I’ll have a good watch at some of your other videos! Good to meet like minded folk!

    I just found your channel. I am contemplating buying the Echo Plus. You mention that you can link one Echo to other Echos in the house. First question, Say I link it to 2 other Echos. Are all 3 Echos using Data or are the 2 linked Echos simply speakers for the main Echo that you have given the directions. Second question, Do all of the Echos that are linked, have to be the same model ? IE Dot or Echo Plus. Thanks for the info. Thanks from Canada.

    • @JeremySiers
      @JeremySiers  5 лет назад

      On you first question, I am not 100% on...but.... all the devices are capable of using data but I would assume only one would be using data at a time. Unless you are using them independently. Playing different songs on them for instance. Then each one playing a different track would have to be using its own internet connection to retrieve that information. But if you were playing one track thru the whole house on multiple devices it should just be using one connection to the internet to get the info and then sharing it amount the devices connected to one another. At least I’m pretty sure that’s how it works 😉. Hope that made sense.
      On your second question, yes, you can connect different amazon devices, i.e. Echo dot, echo, echo show, etc. 👍🏻

    • @awoodworker

      @@JeremySiers ThankYou. The Echo Plus is sold out here in town so I am going to order one today. I can't believe the sound quality. I was at my Daughter and Son in Laws the other day and that was the first time I have heard one in person.They have a big house and the Echo sound filled the big tall room. If the first one works out I hope to put another Echo of some type to use as a speaker in my attached garage. Do you think that is feasible ? Thanks again.

  • @StephenThickett
    @StephenThickett 6 лет назад

    Fantastic review, sensible plain and direct.
    I have the Plus in the lounge, linked to the Philips Hue bulb, how did we live without this and the Dot in the bedroom. Used for Tune In Radio and to control lights. No more arguments over who should have turned the light off before jumping into bed. No more kicking toes up, when going to toilet in night. Dots speaker is better than expected, heard bad reviews but its quite good.
    Echo Plus speaker is rich and produces an excellent deep sound that easily fills an average room.

      JeremySiers probably walk into the room and light/music will autoplay, because we will have some type of transmitter fob type of device. That would be cool. Thanks for the awesome reviews

    I’m looking at buying a echo plus but am confused by a lot of the reviews as to whether it is better than the echo 2nd generation. Which would you recommend?

    • @JeremySiers
      @JeremySiers  6 лет назад

      I wouldn't really say one is better than the other. They are both great. The Echo Plus is basically a larger version of the Echo with a built in hub for smart devices that require a hub like Philips Hue bulbs. It also costs a bit more. If the hub is something you need or would like to have, go with the plus. I went with the Echo because I didnt need the hub and I liked the smaller design and the interchangeable sleeves. Function wise they both basically do all the same stuff and the sound quality is very similar in my opinion. I think you would be happier with either one.

      @JeremySiers  6 лет назад

      +Susan Reilly hey Susan, thanks, glad you liked the review! As for hooking up your nano, i am not familiar with that particular device. Buuuut if it has Bluetooth it should be able to connect with no issue. Your other option would be via 3.5mm cable if the nano has that connection.

    Doesn't the 1st get have a 7 array beam forming mics too? One thing I like about the 1st gen echo and the dot is the volume knob. I don't like that they went with the push button volume controls. I don't know if that's to save on cost but something about that dial I find more satisfying than the buttons. I have had my 1st gen echo since it came out and love it. Never had any issues with it. I will buy a refurbished 1st gen before I buy this 2nd gen.

    As of right now I have 1 Bose Soundtouch 20 and was going to get others throughout the house to listen to music in other rooms outside. I was wanting to get Amazon Echo also, would I be better off just getting Amazon Echos throughout the house in the rooms that I want to listen to music to and have it hooked up to the 1 Bose Soundtouch to listen to music or have the Bose Soundtouch in the rooms that I want to listen to music and just get a Amazon Echo for downstairs and 1 for upstairs???
    Thanks for any help..

    • @JeremySiers
      @JeremySiers  7 лет назад

      +Richard Golembiowski Thanks, glad you liked the vid! I don’t have a Echo Plus but from my research the plus basically has the same upgrades as the echo but with the addition of it being a smart device hub. So for instance you wouldn’t need a hub for things like Phillips Hue lights because the Echo plus could function as one.
