The Echo Dot 5th Gen (2022) is a compact smart speaker with Alexa built in. It plays music, podcasts and audiobooks, and it responds to voice commands without needing your hands.
Ask Alexa to play music, give the news and weather, set timers, alarms and reminders, or check your calendar. It can also control compatible smart home devices such as lights, thermostats and plugs. It streams from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Audible.
The 1.73" speaker is built for clear vocals and balanced bass. A microphone off button electronically disconnects the microphones. You can connect multiple Echo devices to play music in sync across rooms. The small charcoal body fits on a nightstand, countertop or bookshelf.
