Libratone's Zipp and Zipp Mini wireless speakers support Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, they have touch-sensitive controls, and they're equipped with microphones. Libratone is now leveraging those features to tap Amazon's Alexa Voice Service and transform the speakers into battery-powered Echo clones that sound much better than the originals. This fall, Zipp and Zipp Mini owners will be able to download a free firmware update that activates Alexa. Once that's installed, they'll be able to use voice commands to control their speakers as well as their smart-home devices. They'll also be able to ask Alexa for news, sports, and traffic updates and anything else an Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, or Amazon Tap can do. Unlike Amazon's speakers, they'll be able to deploy the Zipp and Zipp Mini in multiple rooms--just like Sonos speakers.
