Hi,
Oh that’s funny I thought it might be that but can’t tell you how many I’ve
discussed that very thing with (laughs).

Speaker for the Echo Dot
I also found out from 97Life, makers of that product, that the correct
pronunciation for the product is actually Vox or Vawks, and not Voe as some
have wondered. I was a bit surprised.

Hi,
ah I just bought one of these units and like it quite a lot and am glad to
say that its maker was very receptive even replying to my inquiry on a Sunday
as to whether it’d ever have an auditory indicator of battery level. It does
not in the current unit but hopefully might in future. Set up was a breeze and
it serves me well. It isn’t quite as bassy as a regular larger Amazon Echo or
some other speakers but does give you the portability plus functionality that’s
missing if you mistakenly buy an Echo tap as I did, not knowing it couldn’t
participate in the echo messaging or calling features thus it went back in
favor of the Echo dot plus Vaux Speaker alternative.

Speaker for the Echo Dot
I just saw that BBQ, the podcast from Blindbargains, is going to discuss
several products, including the Vaux speaker. This is, essentially, a docking
station for the Amazon Echo Dot. It gives the Dot slightly richer sound and
also allows it to operate on rechargeable batteries, although it still needs a
WiFi connection to work.
This program is available on a variety of podcast players on an Android or
iOS device. For those who are not set up with one of these apps, you can listen
to it from your computer via the following link.
