<\/span>One of the most exciting devices that Amazon announced during its 2019 hardware event was the Echo Buds, a pair of truly wireless earbuds with Alexa built-in. With these headphones, you can make a hands-free call or ask Alexa to change the song while you\u2019re in the middle of your workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Echo Buds are IPX4-rated, which means they can withstand splashes, sweat, or light rain. They also come with Bose Active Noise Reduction Technology, which lets you limit background noise by tapping on either Echo Bud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fully charged, these headphones are supposed to last up to five hours. When the batteries die, you can recharge them in their carrying case up to three times, giving you a total battery life of 20 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can pre-order Echo Buds on Amazon now, but they won\u2019t be released until October 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Echo Studio<\/a> ($199.99)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Echo](\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Echo-Studio.jpg\")

It has a 24-bit DAC (digital-to-analog converter) and a power amplifier with 100 kHz of bandwidth. This means it can stream Ultra HD- quality audio, making it the perfect speaker for Amazon\u2019s new high-definition music streaming service<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s also the largest smart speaker Amazon has ever made. It comes with five directional speakers and Dolby Atmos technology, which is designed to create a \u201cmultidimensional audio experience.\u201d Amazon says that the speakers will analyze the acoustics of a room and adjust their audio filters to optimize the sound for any room, no matter where you put them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Echo Studio is available for pre-order, but it will not be released until November 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Echo Flex<\/a> ($24.99)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Echo](\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Echo-Flex-smart-home-1.jpg\")

Plus, it comes with a built-in USB port so you can charge your phone or add a nightlight or motion sensor (sold separately).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/div>\n\n\nDay 1 Editions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While Amazon announced several new devices at its hardware event that will be released by the end of the year, the company also introduced several Day 1 devices that will only be released to customers by invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Echo Frames<\/a> ($179.99)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Echo](\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Echo-Frames.jpg\")
<\/span>(Image Source: Amazon<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe Echo frames might look like normal prescription glasses, but they have four micro speakers that are designed to direct sound at your ears. These Alexa-enabled glasses allow you to listen to music, make voice commands, and have truly hands-free phone calls any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to try these experimental smart glasses sooner than later, you\u2019ll have to answer some questions and be invited to participate in Amazon\u2019s Day 1 Editions program. They currently only work with Android phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Echo Loop<\/a> ($129.99)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Echo](\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Echo-Loop.jpg\")
<\/span>(Image Source: Amazon<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFor anyone who doesn\u2019t wear glasses, Amazon introduced another wearable device for their Day 1 program. The Echo loop has two microphones and the smallest speaker Amazon has ever put in an Echo device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This smart ring allows you to ask Alexa questions or control your smart home devices, no matter where you are. You can even use it to make and receive short phone calls. The battery that is supposed to last all day and charge completely in 90 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can only get the Echo Loop by invitation for now. Amazon says selected customers should start receiving their Day 1 devices later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New WiFi Router<\/h2>\n\n\n\nEero Router<\/a> ($99)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"eero](\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/eero-mesh-wifi-router.jpg\")
<\/span>(Image Source: Amazon<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nYou can\u2019t have a smart home without a strong, reliable WiFi signal. Maybe that\u2019s why Amazon recently acquired <\/a>Eero, a home WiFi company that develops routers.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Eero mesh WiFi system is the first device Amazon is releasing since the merger. Believe it or not, this little device is designed to work as a standalone router, and it has a surprising range of 1,500 square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can plug a single eero device into your modem and use additional eeros as range extenders to bring WiFi to every corner of your home. With a three-pack of the new eero, you can have up to 5,000 feet of WiFi coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
