    In this video I unbox and review the Amazon Echo Dot 4th Gen, overall this 4th Gen echo dot is a pretty cool device with many sweet features as seen in the video. It does sound a little better and if you like the new round design then I would pull the trigger and get 1 for sure. If your on the fence about purchasing the 4th gen over the 3rd gen echo dot then I hope you watch this video before you buy the echo dot 4th gen, overall this video should help:) I hope you have found the video super helpful. Thank you for your time. Thanks for watching.

    Tip for you folks, looks like people are not happy with the white cord for the black echo dot 4th gen, if you already own a 3rd gen with black cord it can be used with the 4th gen. Amazon should fix this fast and ship color coordinated power plugs. Thanks for watching:)

    The newly brought to the table and added changes in the design is quite good and refreshing to be honest. High time the device got a refreshed look to it. And the new features of it are always welcome. Mediatek, Alexa, Dolby support.. just about everything.

    Thanks I am so not tech savvy and I’ve been wondering whether I want a Google home or an Alexa. You’ve helped me make this decision and I am going to get this machine. I also wondered how you can turn the lights on and off with the machine lol stupid I guess but I had no idea that there was a smart plug and light so I’ll have to buy some of those as well. Thanks for making this decision a little bit easier :)

  • @WebAnt
    @WebAnt Před rokem +1

    I got mine for about 10 bucks this year, so you know it is well worth that price. I would suggest not paying anything more than 20 bucks for this. I am very pleased with this device, but I think the price should be low enough for you to cover your house with them for about 100 bucks. I was blown away by the sound, not having a previous version to compare it to. For such a small speaker, it does produce a surprising amount of sound. When I play a rain and thunder sound on it, it sometimes sounds like it is actually storming outside. The bass is that good. It is not comparable to my Harmon Kardon Invoke Speaker, but it does sound really good. I like the simplicity of the controls, and I really like the fact I can use other devices, like my cell phone, to play music using it. Take care and thanks for the review.

And I have a google home mini got it for 25 bucks on Black Friday, but sound quality is definitely not there. But smart capabilities is definitely there! A lot better than Amazon show oculus.

    You do nknow that mute button uses software to do it and easy to hack or amazon themselves can even unmute and show still muted.
