9How exercise we make up one's mind which generation echo dot nosotros own?
ii@smigit2002 thanks. By the looks of mine, I see I accept gen 2 devices.
Pretty cool K Cup machine
6I traded in my 2nd gen dots during this year'southward Prime Twenty-four hours. No sale.
1For Echo Dot only? Meh!
3@hchavers Everything fits eventually, when y'all use a hammer.
Got these when meh was selling them a while back. They are awesome. We accept 4 dots in the firm and playing music on all four is like having a whole business firm Sonos for nether $150.
7@osiris3mc I bought i dorsum and so besides but oasis't used it even so since I accept a Gen 3 dot. I'k trying to locate a inexpensive Gen 2 to utilize with this.
@osiris3mc Yeah. Same here. These things are smashing.
@osiris3mc I got one of these from meh a while back, and information technology was pretty overnice, though it seemed to mess with the mic responsiveness a piddling when the dot was playing music. One twenty-four hours, it but stopped working birthday.
Wish I knew if a 3rd gen dot could fit in there…
1@ColeSloth My gauge that that a third gen dot would fit it would say so and wouldn't be on meh at this toll.
@ColeSloth the 3rd gen Dot has a larger bore…
But more than chiefly, a key reason the 3rd gen Dot sounds a lot better and louder is it requires more power, significant, unlike the 2nd gen Dot which has a standard micro USB ability port, the 3rd gen is powered by a proprietary plug and a much larger wall wart.
@ColeSloth @RedOak Google did the same thing when they switched over from the Google Abode Mini (Micro USB) to the Nest Mini (proprietary 14.4V)! I'm waiting for someone to make a device like this bombardment/amplified speaker, but for the Nest Mini (or the Google Mini; I have one of each)
Is there an echo in there?
fourNo, I don't want whatever device in my living room recording everything I say.
No, I don't want any device in my living room recording everything I say.
I merely wish that this was the far more desirable tactical Vaux Portable Speaker & Battery for 2nd Gen Echo Dot…
6Really like mine. Great to move them around the house and yard. In for another 2.
iiI wonder if theses have a longer service life than the Mokcao Dot Docks. Though, now that I've abandoned the Echoverse I gauge information technology's moot.
iiSo, without a dot, would these work as a corded speaker? or with bluetooth?
1I have iv second generation Dots, but they've all got things like this (ii of these and ii of another brand).
My one complaint is that, of ability is of long enough for the battery to drain, information technology doesn't turn back on when power comes dorsum.
Fuck off!
I mean, no thank you.
I might have had some drinks.
I take the verbal Vaux speaker for repeat. Information technology is ane of the products that I regretted buying. It definitely is non the one on Amazon that Meh points to and tries to brand you believe (the 1 on Amazon seems to have good sound quality). Practice not autumn into the trap.
iiiLove our Amazon Tap. Much better sound than any of the Dots and has its own charging dock. And with a smaller bore, very easy to haul around the house or exterior.
Bummed that Amazon dropped it and did not update information technology.
@RedOak
Agreed! Had the particular for sale today. Audio was good, but connecting and disconnecting was a pain and in a couple of months ended up with a worn out port or a broken string.
Good item if you're not into it for the sound and not the mobility
@RedOak I like my Taps. I'll be distressing when they go away.
@RedOak
I have a tap every bit well as an echo bear witness and several repeat dots with these speakers. The tap is nice but doesn't support the multi speaker groups, drop in and other features the dots were given. It is a shame they didn't continue to work on information technology like the dots.
@braveit1
What you come across every bit a disadvantage, nosotros see as an advantage. We never enabled the always listening feature (push button button required) that was originally missing from the Tap either.
Our home is already covered past Echo devices then the Tap is primarily a roaming smart streaming device for us. Perfect for our needs.
@RedOak you exercise know you can press the mic push button on the dot units to mute the microphone when you dont desire it to listen, right? Use information technology just like a tao.
@braveit1 except our non activating the always listening feature of the TAP had nothing whatsoever to do with privacy concerns. We simply take no demand for it on the Tap.
Every bit already noted, nosotros already accept solid Alexa coverage in our home so it would be redundant.
Cool, it'south this decade's speaker dock.
From the first picture I thought they were levitation devices for hockey pucks–which would have been an insta-buy.
I have one (non sure the model), for the only ane 2nd gen dot that I own. Cracking for moving around and great sound. at the lowest volume was too loud for next to the bed. Just would buy these if I can find 2nd gen dots.
I do have the tap, but doesn't exercise calls or send messages.
How practise you charge this affair? I'1000 assuming there'south some sort of ability cable? And if yes, could I just proceed it plugged in and get better sound?
1@MaggieRaine Yes. Which is exactly what we do with ours. Sits on the counter in the bath and gets asked iv times each morning time for the weather written report. Audio is mode better than the dot.
@MaggieRaine You plug information technology in using the Echo ability string, and then in that location's a brusque string supplied to plug in the Echo. I but leave it plugged in all the time.
Will it get here by christmas?
3@Steve7654 Information technology will exist delivered waaay earlier Christmas 2020
We had ane of those echo dots, I disconnected information technology and threw it abroad a few weeks ago. Information technology was creeping me out how things we discussed while information technology supposedly was not listening kept popping upwardly in online advertising while I was Christmas shopping. According to Amazon yous have to wake information technology up before it starts recording you, but that is definitely not true.
2@Steve7654
Huh?
Why not ship it to me? - I'd pay the aircraft.
Or offering information technology on Meh to others who'd eagerly pay the aircraft.
Or donate information technology to the Salvation Army.
If I'm going to be witness to personalized ads due to having a smartphone, being online, etc…, 'might likewise at least go far more authentic with the voice tailoring input of Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri!
I gauge I'll try them at this toll.
0I used this during an outdoor painting projection a couple of weeks ago and information technology was pretty much perfect for that employ. Command music and ask things while not getting paint on my telephone
0If you offered this in time for Christmas delivery I know what anybody would have been given at work.
0So I'g in. What the heck. Less than $20 for two. How bad tin can they exist?
/giphy angelic-mirthful-nutcracker
2 ane/2 years since I've impulse purchased something from here. Have 6 ten 2nd gen dots sitting in a bin in my storage unit waiting for us to purchase a business firm downwardly here.
Meh.
/giphy melodious-amazed-wassail
I paid 12 bucks apiece for these. Toll friction match, meh?
0I'm going to utilise these as unconventional peradventure useless cup holders or brand them into a bong
ane@Rebelfixed Thanks for reminding me, I most forgot to test some new 2:1 CBD:THC coconut oil. I'm sure it'll brand tonight'south Xmas cooking and music functioning planning extra inspiring.
This comment makes me wish I had a bong though.
Ownership some battery-speakers for a CIA spying device I decline to ever own? The same device which multiple friends and family members ain, whom I never permit forget that they're being spied on 24/7? Ultra-meh!
three@mikeureko tomorrow meh will be selling tin hats, if you lot're interested.
@jzmacdaddy Smashing, I love unfounded semi-sarcastic coating statements. My own sarcasm aside, I'yard just gonna say: Information technology's no conspiracy theory that these devices record you constantly – Amazon pays thousands of people to listen to said recordings. There have even been cases where police enforcement used the recordings of these devices as prove. I advise looking into it. That's all, accept a good ane.
@mikeureko Since I'm not in to anything illegal, I don't really give a rats ass if Bezos is listening to me all the time. I promise you don't have a cell phone, because those are the government's pinnacle spy devices. Jeez…I wish people would stop existence so paranoid.
@jzmacdaddy Alright, I'm gonna clear the air a bit, because it seems like there's a misunderstanding here. I don't arraign you if you choose non to read this whole comment.
Firstly, correlation does non necessarily equal causation, especially here. I value privacy. That does non mean I am paranoid. Granted, I'm certain virtually by and large paranoid people highly value their privacy, merely not all people who value their privacy are paranoid. Meet what I mean?
Secondly, I'm fairly confident that valuing one'southward own privacy is quite universal amongst all humans, at least those living in technologically avant-garde parts of the earth like (I'd presume) yourself and myself. Equally a very obvious example, it's why we accept stalls separating public toilets, and bathrooms with locks on the doors (and doors at all).
Most people don't similar having people eavesdropping on them, whatever the subject or activity. Legality has nothing to do with privacy. Information technology's another correlation =/= causation issue. People doing illegal activities (victimless or not is a whole other loaded conversation) tend to wish to continue private so as to avoid problem. However, not everybody who values their privacy is doing illegal activities. I believe the whole "I have zip to hide" thing is a non-argument for this reason. You don't accept "accept anything to hide" to value your privacy.
I bring this upshot up in the first place partially in jest; to brand fun of the fact that and then many people are ready and willing to throw their privacy and anonymity out the window for a little extra convenience. Only on the more sincere side, information technology concerns me as well, every bit our order has been lining up more and more than with the term "Orwellian" in the past couple of decades.
This is a long comment on things that (I believe) shouldn't even need to be said, merely you had some assumptions in your annotate I wanted to clear up in a respectful way. Sorry if it was a redundant read for you. I hope at the very least you lot understand where I'm coming from a lilliputian amend now. No disrespect to you, I did my best to keep this at-home and collected. Have a good one, hope your twelvemonth is going well so far. My dad only had a stroke on the night of the 2nd/morning of the 3rd, and I was visiting him in the hospital when I read your reply. So I felt the need to exist extra nice. Anyway, peace.
P.S. Your username is funny and has a squeamish ring to it. I appreciate it, made me internally giggle a flake.
Where are my battery speakers? Gild date was 12/24 and they're still processing. Late much?
1@frankidee Not read much? Did you notice the specs up there?
If you lot want to double-check, your order confirmation electronic mail should have had the date as well. They accept been known to ninja edit the dates before.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@frankidee @therealjrn For delivery, sure - but with the shipping speed that'southward normal for Meh orders, they should've shipped past today to hit that estimated delivery window, and they're not even labeled yet…
@therealjrn You're "not read much" comment is rather rude
@platojello
I was merely attempting to communicate in the same fashion as the OP's "Late much?" annotate. Perhaps I need to start using more than lilliputian smiley faces.
@platojello @therealjrn What'due south with the smiley confront, you laughing at me, you think I'm funny? Funny how? I amuse you ?
guess shipping dates missed.
1Hello Meh,
I'k disappointed in the complete lack of communication regarding the shipping status of the Vaux Repeat speaker docks.
Would you mind providing an update? Thanks.
I too would like an update on the ship engagement.
2Update greatly appreciated
2Agreed with^^^. Would love an update on when these things are coming in
two@hwcaldwell0512 Update: Shipped January xi
Improve have some amazon prime speed shipping to go far on time though.
If I had my Vaux Echo speaker dock I could ask Alexa when my Vaux Echo speaker dock was going to arrive. Only sadly . . .
iiI forgot I ordered 3 sets of this crap. Information technology was a year ago!
0Was let known they were on back order…I besides ordered them on the 24th of December…Got a tracking number today merely the bundle is only in Grapevine,TX… Ugh…
0I will NEVER guild from hither once more I placed my order on Dec 24th and I but got a notice saying it was shipped out on Jan 11th. What did they do brand the items by hand? NEVER once more!!!
0@khocolate Good pm due north. You'll probably just be disappointed by the boring shipping time again, since that'south pretty much how this site works.
Anyone have an actual confirmation of delivery date? I keep getting a "circle jerk" of USPS notifications that it has arrived at "partner facilities" and departed "partner facilities" all in the aforementioned identify in Texas. USPS says it is however pending bodily possession??
0@mpswisher Mine has made it from Texas to Atlanta. I'm in NC. Notwithstanding no ETA. I'm guessing Monday, nearly a month afterwards. I probably wouldn't be then disappointed if I hadn't paid for aircraft.
Thanks. Mine really fabricated a little movement finally at the stop of the twenty-four hours today too. Adept luck!
0Tracking says out for delivery!!!
0Mine arrived today. Classic meh shipping time, and even more classic meh audio! These things sound similar literal garbage, that is if you can remove all traces of bass from garbage.
0I don't expect smashing sound. Only amend volume.
0Mine arrived today, 1 works flawlessly, the other has BAD feedback when information technology'due south on with the 3.5mm cablevision plugged in. Meh, would probably price more than to render it to the manufacturer than I paid for information technology.
0Wow ordered December 24 at present evening of Jan 16 Really !! was to be a gift are Meh.com are you lot using Pony Express? six stops in Texas 2 in Indiana Actually #MEHFail

Electronic Shipping Info Received
Got mine today. First time I ordered from hither merely I figured delivery would be slow. So no big deal. I mean this isn't Amazon. (Thank God, right Luke!?!) If it was it would not accept been and then cheap.
Now for the production… I bought a full of 4 speakers and had them setup in a matter of a few minutes. The audio is much louder, which is why I bought them. The clarity isn't every bit squeamish every bit my Sonos just hey these were vi bucks a piece. I'm pleased with them. I had no idea they had lithium batteries so they can be portable…Bonus.
Cheers Meh
They arrived last night. Thanks Meh.
0I got mine today. I'm not unhappy, this matter is great. I promise they have them once again, I need to order some for gifts, at $12 for 2 and knowing they were $50 to brainstorm with I can look for shipping!
aneGot my 2 today, and they are so much better than expected. Wish I had bought more for friends with dot2. Nice offering Meh. Thanks
0Love them! Every bit with others I wish I had ordered more! And as with others (LOL) The shipping was hilarious. They slept for a long time at some locations. Then they ended upwardly xxx miles from me. And and then they went backwards! Several states LOL. But I've been ownership from you guys for a while. And I know you make good on your orders. And I knew I would get it. Keep up the skilful work!
1Howdy, what was the delivery date? I did non receive information technology.
0@bz229 Uh…maybe they're notwithstanding coming. Information technology looks like they ninja'd the dates to read:
You tin write into @back up mehbe?
The speakers audio much improve than the Echo Dot speaker, and makes the Echo portable. They don't audio like BOSE, Sonos or a Beats Pill or something, merely information technology's a nice portable recharge speaker with decent sound that adds great features for $100 to $150 less than the brands I merely listed.
0Mine just died. It appears the company is out of business since their website is down. Ninety7life.com.
0These speakers don't last. I ordered two of them from crystalline-bounteous-festivities and they stopped working within 7 months. I was told there was a 60 day warrantee so basically it was a F-off, your problem. I would be careful buying anything from this business and as well buying the vaux speakers. I had one become out before within a year. Good speakers but they just don't last!
0Agreed , bought two and ane is dead already.
0How do y'all change the bombardment?? Their support email no longer exists.
