Hi,
Again, I'd say Google is better at picking things up, but that's subjective.
All the best
Steve

Hi Clive and Jacky
I'm not worried over the headphone jack as the speaker will be on top of my
kitchen wall cupboard. If the google mini has better sound then that is a
factor, but what about the microphones, is one better at picking up commands
than the other? I'm not interested in amazon music, playlists etc.
Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin
I have both and like both for different reasons. Personally, I believe
Google Home or the Mini is easier to connect to WiFi, sometimes Echo
can be a bit awkward in the way this is achieved for some people.
If you have things like Amazon Prime or an Amazon music library, then
the Dot or Echo would link up with those devices.
But as you have a Chromecast, you might prefer the little Google Home
Mini which will do all you are looking for. And I think you could
Chromecast to your device as well.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Subject: [access-uk] Amazon echo or google home?
Hi Folks
My Sonus 1xt is faulty and I'm looking at getting iether an Amazon Echo
or Google Home smart speakers (or if htere is any other smart
speaker) for listening to my radio stations.
It may just be a personal preference but can I have peoples thoughts on
which to get as there may be a difference in sound quality? I don't
want it to do anything flashy like turning lights on etc, all I want to
do is to ask it to play for instance Majic or Radio 5 and for
me not to have to sign up to any monthly membership etc. . So is
this possible?
I would probably go for the smaller version of speaker so It'll fit on
top of my kitchen cupboards. WiFi connectivity is not a problem.
Bye the way if it makes any difference in my choice I have a google
chromecast attached to my TV.
Thanks
Martin
