Hello, my name's Mark, welcome to my channel. Today we're going to take a look at this
D6 speaker. This is a little add-on for the Amazon Echo Fot second-generation.
I really like these little Dots, you can just pop them around and get Alexa
wherever you go but the one thing about them that's not great is the sound
quality of the speaker it's not very loud "excuse me I am right here!" so we're
going to give it a bit of an upgrade today with this D6 it's available in two
colors I have the white, it's also available in black. You get a little user guide
thank you card and the main unit itself
so the tops come off and this is how we put the Dot on, I'll show you that in a
second. The actual unit looks really good is got a slight cloth texture around the
side which is plastic on the top and bottom there's a connector that goes
into your Echo Dots and it goes into the power and the aux port and that's how
you're gonna get power to this and the power and aux are on the bottom of this
there's also a small power switch on the front so setup is dead easy, I've removed
the top as you can see that just pops off undo your Echo plug it in, top goes
back on and there's a, keep rotating it around and you rotate it back, there's a
locking symbol: locks/unlocks. Once it's in it looks great the dots just fits in
nicely whether it's black or the white version I really like the whites and
black I think they contrast really nicely you simply just plug in the power
on the bottom
At first you might be a bit confused wondering why nothing's happening because normally
at this stage the Dot would start lighting up and that's because there's a little button
you need to press that in order to activate a power to the Dot. So now press
the button you can see the Dot is firing up and we're gonna do some tests now
some comparisons to see which you think sounds better the Dot on its own or the
dot with this speaker
[MUSIC]
there is another advantage to using this shell and that's because it makes your
Dot portable so at the moment you can see it's plugged in playing music
carries on play music there's a battery built into this meaning you can take
this out and about if you want to use the alexa function so your still needs
to be on Wi-Fi but this is great for if you're in the garden getting over some
work maybe you're on a listen to some podcasts you can ask Alexa all the same
stuff and it'll work straight out of this speaker. Alexa what's the weather
like today? "It's 14 degrees Celsius" so for all this isn't gonna win any awards
for amazing sound quality it lacks bass for me I'd like to hear a
little bit more oomph but I have to say overall the style is really nice I think
it looks great it's a nice little addition for the Dot if you've already
got a Dot this is a great way of making this a little bit more portable with the
battery you can take it outside of course the other option would be to buy
yourself second Bluetooth speaker that doesn't integrate the Dot in this way
and you just pair them up or use the aux port but while that might be cheaper you
might get a better sound from that you wouldn't have the ability to then take
this out and about unless the speaker somehow could power the Dot. If you want
