Connected objects: the Echo range is enriched with a dozen products

Amazon has introduced its new speakers that integrate the Alexa assistant, but also glasses, a ring and even a multi-function oven.
It's back to school, and so the period of "keynotes", and on Amazon's side, Wednesday was the opportunity to lift the veil on new products related to his assistant Alexa. Until then, there were mini-speakers Echo, and they have the right to their new versions. But what we will remember most is the arrival of products "wearable", that is to say that one carries on oneself. First there are the Echo Buds, wireless headphones, signed Bose and sold about 130 dollars. Amazon promises five hours of autonomy for these competitors of Air Pods.

Then there is Echo Frames, authentic glasses connected, currently reserved for the North American market. Paired with the smartphone, they allow access to Alexa without taking his phone out of his pocket or bag. At 180 dollars, it's expensive especially since there is no integrated camera. Another novelty, this ring called Echo Loop. It vibrates when you receive a call, and it integrates a speaker and microphone to answer and speak. Count around $ 100 for this gadget.

For the rest, and among a whole lot of products like a night light, an alarm clock or a power outlet, it is the imposing Echo Studio which marked the spirits with these five built-in speakers. Its price: about 200 euros, and they are already available. Finally, we will remember this Smart Oven, a four-in-one oven, which integrates Alexa to succeed its recipes and cooking. It will be priced at $ 250. (Eureka Press)
