  • Echo Input adds Alexa to an external speaker and connects via 3.5 mm audio cable or Bluetooth.
  • With four microphones, Alexa hears you from across the room — even when music is playing.
  • Stream Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, TuneIn and more on your favourite speaker. Services may require subscriptions or other fees.
  • Just ask Alexa to play a song, read the news or check the weather and traffic.
  • Set alarms and timers, add items to your to-do list and control compatible smart home devices.
  • Calling and Drop In via Bluetooth is currently not supported.
  • Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new skills. Track your fitness, play games or fall asleep to rain sounds.
  • Slim, low-profile design fits almost anywhere.

Speaker required

Echo Input requires an external speaker and connects via the included 3.5 mm audio cable or Bluetooth. Sonos speakers are not currently supported. It does not pair to Wi-Fi speakers. We recommend pairing with certified Bluetooth Speakers. Search speakers

Speaker power-saving mode and volume

Speakers connected by 3.5 mm audio cable may power off if not used for an extended period of time. When possible, we recommend turning off the speaker’s power-saving mode by following the manufacturer’s instructions.

When connecting Echo Input to your speaker, first increase the volume of the speaker. Then say, “Alexa, volume 7” or “Alexa, volume up”.

Alexa, play top hits

Use your voice to ask for any song, artist or genre and play music across multiple Echo devices and connected speakers in your home. You can also listen to Audible, podcasts, radio stations and more.

Alexa, play party music in the living room utterance

Always ready to help

Make your life easier at home. Use your voice to set timers, add items to lists and create calendar events and reminders. You can also check the news, weather or traffic. Ask for sports scores, movie times, restaurant hours or information.

Alexa has skills

Alexa has thousands of skills and counting. Skills are like apps and help you do more, such as booking an Uber, meditating with Headspace, falling asleep to rain sounds and more. Just say “Alexa, help me get started with skills.” New skills are being added all the time. Discover them in the skill section of the Alexa app or visit the Skill Store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Echo input with Bluetooth and 3.5mm aux out and WiFi hotspot

What can I say but just another echo product that works great with Alexa . I set up my phones hot spot on and the WiFi both to pair up my little echo input with the Alexa app and it was quiet trickier and re register another network with Amazon account but got the hot spot of my mobile registered and now after that paired my Bluetooth by just saying pair my Bluetooth and paired no problems with my Samsung galaxy s10 plus. I then plugged it into my Bluetooth and aux enabled input speaker and tell Alexa to tell me the time and play me music on my Spotify and Amazon music accounts and no problems. Also tested in my car with USB to power this nice small baby up and plugged in my 3.5mm jack plug in to my cars input and set it to aux in . Every thing great with the boot up and mobile hotspot connected after a couple seconds also had to have the Bluetooth on your mobile , Alexa responded well even with loud music playing in my car and asked for the time and response was great even it's only got 4 microphones built into it , it also responded to a call through my Bluetooth and car loudspeaker's to take a call hands free. Great product , just wish it was rechargeable with a inbuilt lithium battery to put the cherry on the cake. Nice long leads too and small 240vac adaptor. Mine sit nice on my center console in my car . Just purchase one you're gonna love Alexa. She also turns my WiFi lights and WiFi sockets (plugs) on . love it and good price and fast shipping thanks to Amazon.

Amazing!! This is what I wanted, the idea of being at mercy of the manufacturers with below the class audio at a higher price is not something that I was happy with. But this is a a game changer. Smart move amazon. I am so happy to use my LogitechZ623 with Alexa and it works like a charm.

Love it plugged into the back of my amp, so I got Spotify streaming through it. Can also control my home theater equipment. But waiting on the Fire stick 4k to be available here in Australia to be able to watch Prime Video in 4k.
But alas for time been have to use my Google Home and Chromecast for that.

Does not work with Amazon Prime Music. Then found out there is no phone support in Australia, even though it's offered elsewhere in the world. The e-mail support steered me down the wrong path and I am still waiting for a resolution. The app is really slow to respond. Should have bought a Google Home instead

The Echo Input is a clever way of linking existing speakers with music from a streaming service or stored on your electronic device, at a modest price. However, playing on speakers via the auxilary cable seems to provide limited output due to the capacity of the Echo.
