Design

All in all, the Echo Input has a really low-cost design with plastic all over the place and no signs of fabric.

Features

The Echo Input, however small works almost exactly like its other elder siblings do. It consists of the same mic array as the Echo Dot. Since these appliances lack an otherwise highly conventional visual interface for inputs, the Alexa app does most of the work in the absence of an interface, however, the lack of an interface is not much noticed since most of the work is done through voice commands. You can connect the EchoInput with your desired speaker via using Bluetooth or a 3.5mm cable, there is no optical output or RCA but we have to consider the fact that this is a budget device. The Bluetooth connectivity of the Echo Input and the connected speaker works just fine when in the same room.  

Performance

The Echo Input does most of the things flawlessly just like its elder siblings but lack of an in-built speaker does have its demerits. Alexa in the Echo input is always listening to meaning that it is always ready for your input command however some stereo speakers have a tendency to turn themselves off after some time if no input is given, the Alexa app does have a solution to this problem where it will alert you on your phone if it feels like the connection is lost or the speaker has been turned off but still the app doesn’t always work. In terms of performance better options available in the market and one can buy those using Mobikwik Promo Code with great offers.  

Sound

The sound quality of the device depends highly on the speaker that is giving the output, however comparing your normal output speaker connected with your phone or any other device against your normal output speaker connected with the Echo Input, the one with the Echo Input tends to give out a slightly low volume output. The price the Echo Input is available for in the market makes up for all the other downfalls this device has.
