The Best Home Speaker You've Never Heard Of: The Amazon Echo Show 500
As I walked into my living room, I couldn't help but notice the sleek and modern design of the new Amazon Echo speaker sitting on the coffee table. With its all-aluminum build quality and crystal-clear sound, this speaker is definitely a game-changer in the world of smart home audio. Let's take a closer look at some of its features and see what makes it stand out from the competition.
First off, let's talk about the app. The Amazon Echo app is user-friendly and intuitive, allowing you to control your music streaming services with ease. You've got access to all the major players like Amazon Music, I Heart Radio, Pandora, Spotify, Deezer, and Sirius XM, as well as Bluetooth connectivity for seamless playback. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you'll also get access to exclusive benefits like personalized recommendations and new music releases.
One of the standout features of this speaker is its display screen. Yes, you read that right – a full-color display! This means you can see album art, watch videos, and even browse through your favorite playlists with ease. It's not just for show, either; the display is also useful for controlling your music playback and accessing various settings like volume and playback mode.
Now, let's talk about sound quality. The Amazon Echo speaker 500 delivers crystal-clear highs, rich mids, and deep bass that will make you feel like you're right in the middle of the action. Whether you're listening to your favorite tunes or enjoying some atmospheric ambiance, this speaker has got you covered. And with its advanced noise-cancellation technology, you can enjoy uninterrupted playback even in noisy environments.
But what really sets the Echo Show 500 apart from other smart speakers on the market is its integration with Amazon's own Alexa virtual assistant. With Alexa, you've got access to a wide range of features and skills that make life easier and more convenient. Want to know the time or weather forecast? No problem! Just ask Alexa, and she'll take care of it for you.
Of course, no smart speaker is complete without some form of remote control. The Echo Show 500 has got you covered here too – with a range of capacitive touch buttons that make it easy to navigate through menus, adjust settings, or simply mute/unmute playback. And if you're watching TV and get interrupted by an Amazon commercial, the pause button is your friend.
But don't just take my word for it – let's dive into some real-world usage examples. I was testing out this speaker in a group setting, and it performed flawlessly. We played some music, chatted about our favorite tunes, and had a blast – all while enjoying crystal-clear sound and easy control through the accompanying app.
And then there's the matter of pricing – $400 might seem like a lot for a smart speaker, but trust me, this thing is worth every penny. The Echo Show 500 may not be the loudest or most bass-heavy speaker on the market, but it delivers in terms of overall sound quality and features that'll make you wonder how you ever lived without it.
So what's my rating? I'd put the Amazon Echo Show 500 at number three, just behind the Google Home Max for its sheer sonic capabilities and number one spot by a hair – the Apple Home Pod – for its sleek design and slightly louder sound. But hey, who needs to be first when you can have a stunning display screen that'll make all your friends jealous?
And so, is this speaker worth four hundred bucks? In my humble opinion, absolutely! It's a work of art with a few innovative features that'll change the way you experience music in your home.
