ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:

What is in the box?
Encourage link below
Physical tour
What is different?
Spherical
Buttons integrated into fabric
Nicer aesthetic (in my opinion)
Now one 3” woofer and 2 x .8” tweeters (previously only one)
More directional (not 360 sound) - for stereo sound
Now a zigbee hub!
Amazon sidewalk connectivity
BLE Mesh (Acts as a hub for smart home stuff) - future proof
Sound quality Example (vs Nest Mini)
SUPER easy to set up, like way easier than a Google Nest
Setup process
Sound quality analysis
Tough because I am usually analyzing earbuds, so I am naturally tougher on this. I will try to explain things neutrally because for a $100 smart speaker, this definitely sounds good!
Sound in a room from different angles
Makes sense to be directional because it will be near an outlet
Longer wavelengths have less issue with diffraction
~120 degree cone with minimal audio difference
Still sounds alright backwards, but just mostly bass (pointing up)
Adapts to room/environment
Decent natural balance
Warm full bass that fills rooms
Bass is on the boomy side and can be slightly muddy at times
Bass is accurate for most, but struggles with some BIG bass songs like Yonkers
Highs sometimes slightly eclipse vocals at higher volumes
Some low level detail may be drowned out, but I suspect that is mostly because I am in a big open room
Overall, I am very happy with the sound quality, especially for the price!
Features

SEE MORE IN DEVICE SETTINGS IN APP
Cons
Cannot hang on walls
Audio is not 360 (for some situations, this is not ideal)
No play/pause button
No conjunctions
PROS
Great mic! It can hear me way better than Google
Sound is fairly consistent throughout room space
Excellent bottom mount idea for standard camera mount hardware
WHAT GEAR DO I USE?
Heart rate sensor: https://mikeobrienmedia.com/Polar-H10
(Polar H10 is known to be one of the most accurate in the industry and therefore acts as a great standard to which I compare smartwatch heart rate sensors)
