Amazon Echo is a hands-free speaker you control with your voice. Echo connects to the Alexa Voice Service to play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather, and more -- instantly. All you have to do is ask. Echo is particularly helpful for anyone wanting to learn about and discover new music.

For example:
"Alexa, play jazz music."
"Alexa, what song is this?"
"Alexa, find me a nearby musical instrument rental shop."
"Alexa, Wikipedia 'harmonic minor scale'."

Echo has seven microphones so it 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 360° immersive sound. It also integrates with smart home devices, allowing you to ask Alexa to turn off the bathroom lights or set the thermostat.
