For something truly memorable this Mother’s Day, think outside the flower bouquet: give her something techie that she will adore.
Smart speakers make the ideal present for mothers as they provide them with a hands-free solution to stay organized throughout the day and access essential information when they need it most.
Amazon Echo Show 8
The Amazon Echo Show 8 is a smart display that brings Alexa voice-based assistant into your home, offering music, movies and recipes streaming capabilities while controlling compatible devices.
Although the Show 8 has been out for some time now, it remains one of the top Alexa speakers with touchscreen capabilities. Its affordable price point and array of features make it an excellent option for both those familiar with Alexa or those just entering into smart device technology.
The major upgrade over the prior Echo Show model is its new 13-megapixel video chat camera, which tracks you around the frame with digital pan-and-zoom to keep you in focus – providing a much superior experience than its predecessor’s one megapixel cam.
Kindle Paperwhite
If you want access to millions of books, the Kindle Paperwhite is an excellent e-reader choice. Featuring an attractive screen, long battery life and support for audiobook listening, this device provides instantaneous access to an endless supply of reading material.
The Kindle Paperwhite boasts more storage capacity than its predecessor, enabling you to store thousands of ebooks without running out. The base model offers eight GB, while for an extra $50 you can upgrade to include 32GB as well as Qi wireless charging capabilities.
This upgrade can be especially beneficial to users used to using older Kindles that only support micro USB charging ports, as the new Paperwhite has a USB-C charging port by default rather than needing a micro USB cable each time it needs charging up.
Another difference of the new Paperwhite is its improved responsiveness of its e-ink display. Even after an entire day of reading, its responsiveness remains higher than previous models and page turns occur about 20% faster.
Amazon Echo Dot
The Echo Dot is an Alexa-powered smart speaker that makes controlling home devices and accessing information easy. It can play music from compatible services, provide news briefs, and give a weather report.
It can also be combined with other Echo speakers in stereo for multi-room audio playback. Plus, it serves as a hub to control other smart home devices – it can dim lights or adjust thermostat settings!
As with the Echo, this device can be set up by downloading and following an app’s prompts to configure it. With it you can set to-do lists, shop on Amazon, or ask Alexa for rides – much like what the Echo can do!
Though not boasting as many features as its larger sibling, the Echo Dot still makes for an affordable way to utilize Alexa in their homes and is typically available for around $60 at retail; special promotions can sometimes offer it at even lower costs during Prime Day or Black Friday sales events.
Apple AirPods 3
Apple’s AirPods are an ideal solution for anyone in search of wireless earbuds that are simple to pair and switch between devices. Their third-generation AirPods offer wireless charging and access to features like Spatial Audio technology which creates music sounding as though it were emanating from all corners of the room.
Earbud pairing with an iPhone or iPad has never been simpler with AirPods’ pop-up confirmation screen that instantly connects them. Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and H1 chip synchronization ensure seamless transitioning from iPhone/iPad/Macbook use or vice versa.
The AirPods 3 sound better than their predecessors thanks to software tricks and a new driver inside them. You’ll notice more bass for a fuller, rounder sound; however, their open design means sound isolation may not be ideal.
