Amazon Echo and Tap is designed around your voice. The Echo is hands-free and always on. With seven microphones and beam-forming technology, Echo can hear you from across the room—even while music is playing. Echo is also an expertly tuned speaker that can fill any room with immersive sound. The Tap is the portable version of the Echo. It features a rechargeable battery, so you can carry it with you anywhere. It comes with a dock for easy recharging and connects to Alexa with a press of a button.

Echo and Tap connect to Alexa, a cloud-based voice service, to provide information, answer questions, play music, read the news, check sports scores or the weather, and more—instantly. All you have to do is ask. Echo begins working as soon as it detects the wake word.

It is compatible with select Wink, Belkin WeMo, Philips Hue, and many more connected devices to control lights and switches with your voice. It can play music from Amazon Music, Prime Music, Pandora, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and more. You can also connect to it like a traditional Bluetooth speaker and have it stream your audio from any Bluetooth-enabled device.
