I set up my Echo Gen 2 couple days ago:

- within about 10 minutes after setup (in the middle of Despacito) Alexa interrupted itself to update. After that the audio sounds markedly better, more worthy of a $100 speaker.

- Mic pickup is about 25% better than echo dot. I can speak a little further and softer now, and hears me better while playing music. Less frustrating.

- It has stayed connected so far. My dot disconnected almost once or twice a week usually in middle of dinner time when we need to use it.

Reporting in here. Looking for suggestions on automating window blinds. Currently using Venetian blinds not sure can convert into motorised ones or not.

to update on my Sonos one, it is playing quite well after learning my slang. I also managed to get a 3 pin plug power cord from local distributor for $15.

I used the adapter previously but it became unsightly because it protrudes out too much. By changing into a 3pin, the profiles becomes slimmer.

Ha.. I think the xiaomi smart speaker uses 'xiao dou dou'... (correction: found out it is 'xiao ai tong shue')

Hey may I know what is the actual cost in SGD for your Sonos One from Amazon?

I did a rough calculation USD$199 ~ SGD$270 + SGD$20 = SGD$290.
I got it local on Qoo10 for SGD$303 after $30 off cart coupon.
