    I’ve used Alexa since the first one came out. I decided to upgrade and I’m glad I did. The sound quality on this speaker is great! Super clear audio. Set up and connecting was super easy. Only complaint is I wish it was a tad bit louder. I think it would be great for a bedroom or bathroom if you want to listen to music but in terms of a social setting I don’t think it would hold up too good. I like my music deafening loud so if you don’t want that then this speaker would be great for you. Still overall I’m super happy and would buy another one.
