Overview
Living rooms with an ultra HD TV get a streaming box that answers voice requests without a remote in hand. Built in mics and speakers run Alexa, and it can switch between streaming apps, a cable box or a game console.
Hands free voice control of the TV, soundbar and receiver sets it apart from a stick, along with fast app starts. Streaming services still need their own subscriptions, and the box contents are not listed.
Who it's for
Streamers who control their home theater and smart home by voice get one box that handles both. Homes uneasy about always listening devices may prefer a simple remote only stick, even with the mic off button.
Pros and cons
- Hands free voice control from across the room
- Fast app starts
- Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support
- Switches to cable box or game console
- Needs a TV, no screen of its own
- Included cables not listed
- Most streaming services need paid subscriptions
Performance notes
Picture and sound formats only show their benefit when the TV and audio system support them. The newest Wi-Fi band helps only with a router that offers it. Voice pickup relies on the built in mics, so room noise affects how well it hears you.
