Amazon adds wearables to voice-controlled Alexa collection

A ring, glasses and earbuds are among Amazon's latest voice-controlled devices to offer "even more ways to add Alexa to your daily life". Released last week, several of the products are grouped under Amazon's Echo smart speaker range. They include differently sized Echo speakers and wearables, and depend on the company's voice-activated, artificially intelligent assistant Alexa. The broad range is intended to "make your home smarter and safer, keep family and friends connected, and bring your favourite entertainment to you, wherever you are", according to Amazon. "Amazon introduced an all-new line-up of Echo devices that give you even more ways to add Alexa to your daily life – whether at home or on-the-go," it added.
