6/22/2023 0 Comments Amazon flex reviewsIt’s fine if you just want to check the weather forecast, but asking Alexa to play some music results in an anemic plinky-plunk sound that reminds me of those old Stylophones from the 1970s (millenials can just Google ‘David Bowie Stylophone’). You can tell from the tinny voice that emanates from the speaker grille when you first plug it in that the sound quality isn’t exactly great. The final detail on the front of the Echo Flex is a little grille for what Amazon refers to as its ‘mini-speaker’. Right below the LED are two buttons - one of which turns off the microphones when you want a little privacy, while the second button allows you to activate Alexa without saying the name itself (although, of course, you still have to speak to the Echo Flex to get it to do anything, so we’re not entirely sure what the point of that is). There’s a little pair of microphones nestling at the top of the front panel, with a blue LED sitting between them, which lights up when you recite the ‘Alexa’ mantra to let you know that it is listening. Despite its low cost, the Echo Flex supports dual-band Wi-Fi, so it can connect to your home router on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies. The Echo Flex measures just 72mm high and 67mm wide, and protrudes just 40mm from the wall once it’s been plugged in.
