The Echo Plus (2nd Gen) is an overhauled Alexa smart speaker. Not only has the Plus been given a new look compared to earlier versions but it provides far superior sound quality.
Equipped with a premium speaker, the Echo Plus is powered with Dolby Processing which gives a powerful 360° sound for high-quality audio. Use your voice to ask for any song, artist or genre from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, TuneIn, and others, and play music across compatible Echo devices throughout your home. You can also listen to Audible, radio stations and more.
The Echo Plus has a built-in Zigbee smart home hub which allows you to control your compatible smart home devices without the need for any extra equipment. There are lots of devices that work with the Echo Plus, including the Philips Hue smart lighting system, so connecting to and controlling smart lights, thermostats and switches has never been easier.
Think of the Echo Plus a bit like your personal assistant. At its most basic level, Alexa can give you information like weather and traffic updates, unit conversions and create calendar events and reminders- and anything else that might help your day run a little smoother.
You can also link Alexa with your EE and Vodafone UK mobile phone account to ask Alexa to make and answer your mobile calls.

We are having fun learning asking Alexa different things and are rediscovering some old favourite music. Sound quality is superb. Everything is just so good we have bought another one to go in the sitting room so we can use even more.’
