KITSOUND VOICE ONE

Amazon’s full-size Echo sounds OK as a music speaker, but it’s not exactly tech’s answer to Beyonce – so British brand Kitsound has stepped in to give Alexa an upgrade in the sound quality department. With a pair of 2.5in 10-Watt drivers, the Voice One claims to be a more audiophile-friendly smart speaker. It has a pair of mics that listen out for your commands, plus the ability to wirelessly link up to eight units together. It’s only £129, which is £21 cheaper than the Echo, so we’ll wait to hear it with our own ears before passing judgement. £129 / kitsound.co.uk
