VAUX Transforms your Amazon Echo Dot into a wireless speaker and assistant

|
,

If you’ve got an Amazon Echo Dot, you’re undoubtedly already aware of its capabilities. We all love Alexa, but the dot itself is pretty well stuck in one place ordinarily. Sure, you could order an Amazon Tap if you wanted your Echo hardware on the go. But what if, for less than the price of a Tap, you could add cordless use and an enhanced speaker to your Amazon Echo Dot? VAUX by Ninety7 is aiming to do just that as a battery-powered speaker and dock for your Amazon Echo Dot (2nd Gen).

Even if you don’t want to take your Dot on the road with you, VAUX will enhance your experience with an upgraded speaker. Its internal battery allows for the aforementioned portability. Carry your Dot with you around the house, asking Alexa questions, adding items to your to-do list, or just periodically asking about the weather conditions. With an estimated 6 hours of battery life, VAUX should work perfectly for the hours after work but before bed. Just plug in when you ask Alexa to set your alarm, and you’ll be ready for tomorrow.

There are definitely some areas of your house that are better for certain Alexa skills than others (7 Minute Workout just doesn’t work in my bedroom where my Echo Dot lives), but if I could easily move my Dot to a more suitable location, I might be more inclined to actually try it. Some people have multiple Echo Dots, or other Alexa-enabled hardware, but for those that are one-device households, VAUX offers an enticing set of abilities.

VAUX is available for pre-order now, with an estimated shipping date in early April. I mentioned the price was less than an Amazon Tap right? I meant the price of the Amazon Echo Dot + VAUX is still less than an Amazon Tap. You can pre-order VAUX for only $49.99 at the source link below. You can read more about VAUX in the full press release just below that.
