The display shows time in 12 or 24-hour format, and will also display the current outside temperature among other things on command. Just like any other Alexa speaker it will read the news headlines, tell you the weather, answer questions, set alarms, timers and control smart home devices, too. Radio services are handled by TuneIn, or using BBC Sounds and other individual station “skills” you can install like apps using the Alexa app on your phone. Two can be paired for stereo sound and the Dot can be grouped with other Alexa-enabled speakers for multi-room audio.Īlexa natively supports music streaming services from Spotify, Apple, Deezer or Amazon, or you can stream tunes to it via Bluetooth. The Dot lacks real bass, but it is otherwise pleasant to listen to music, the radio and Alexa’s voice with enough volume to fill a small room. It sounds surprisingly good for its size and price. The Dot is larger and produces slightly fuller and wider audio because of it, despite having the same sized speaker as the third-generation model. The speaker projects sound forward through the mesh, rather than 360-degrees like its predecessor, while a silicone rubber foot keeps the ball from vibrating or rolling around.
