Bundle the Amazon Echo Input with select Bluetooth speakers and save
Having a smart device can add ease and convenience to your life, but sometimes you want to bump audio through your favorite speaker. The Amazon Echo Input makes it so you don’t have to choose between your smart assistant and preferred audio brand, as it adds the power of Alexa to virtually any speaker via Bluetooth or a 3.5-millimeter cable.
Right now, . Pair the Echo device with the iHome iAV2, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A1, or Marshall Stockwell portable speakers and save.
Unlike other Alexa devices, the Echo Input requires an external speaker. Although the Echo Dot is able to connect to external audio equipment, the Input is less invasive and small enough to stay out of the way.
This bundle deal gives you the option to choose between three different external speakers, which also function on their own without the Echo Input. The iHome iAV2 doubles as a speaker and a digital clock. Its technology creates room-filling sound and excellent bass. Its design has a space to insert the Echo Input directly into the speaker so the devices blend seamlessly.
A higher end (although pricier) option is the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A1 speaker. The device is small enough to fit in your hand, but delivers 360-degree sound. A single battery charge lasts up to 24 hours and the aluminum exterior is both dust and splash resistant.
The third option is in the middle price-wise. The Marshall Stockwell provides a retro feel with modern technology. The Bluetooth speaker’s case doubles as a stand to prop up the device to your desired angle. The Stockwell comes with built-in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that provide up to 25 hours of play time.
