Exemplary job! I’ve been loving it and that’s why I put the link in the original post. Wish there was one for the original Echo Dot, though - all the ones on Amazon are now for the 2nd gen Dot and I have a few of the old ones still.

I hope you didn’t lose any data - the false sense of security of calling these a “backup drive” can be a problem to people who don’t understand this should be one facet of a redundant system. The fact that these things are just growing in size makes matters worse - as with any hard drive, you can wake up one day to a…

Thank you for the idea! Now to look for victims volunteers...

Highly recommend if you still have IR devices and want to voice control them w/ Google Home or Amazon Echo. I bought the bundle that came with a keyboard instead - as I use that w/ my HTPC.

For any conversations like that, you invoke the “Cone of Silence” skill - this gives you a microphone blackout that you can custom set for 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

I understand that - but it’s a flaw in design that other truly wireless earbuds don’t have. Imagine someone who wants to use these one at a time to always have a freshly charged one to swap out - it can’t do it and that’s what people are complaining on the Kickstarter campaign message board about.

Yes, that’s how most of these types of retention methods for in-ear buds work - as I’ve had many in the past. One company even called those things “earsprings”, lol. They help a bit, and if not for those I’m sure I would have lost them already.

Weird, there’s no app for windows and I sometimes use it with my PC to watch movies and shows.

Maybe you need better bluetooth on your computer - I do this frequently and don’t have an issue. I was amazed that I could walk from where I sit to watch my projector to my kitchen sink which usually will cause most headsets to crackle and it did not crackle or drop out. Audio sync has been fine for me -granted I just…

I experience your same issues, except Google works relatively well - better than it’s been with any of my headsets in the past. I do have fit issues, though as they eventually work their way loose.

Fit may vary with your ears, but I cannot get a good fit to stay with any combo of the included fit jackets and eartips. The best I can hope for is I get a good seal, then 10 minutes later I have to twist them back in.

This. Swapping earbuds should be a basic and standard feature for all of these that use this form factor.

Fellow backer here - although connectivity and sound quality are awesome, I definitely have been experiencing problems with fit. No matter what combination of the included fit jackets an eartips I use, they seem to slowly work their way out of my ears. I’ve had a few instances where they’ve fell out completely…

Did anyone discover like I did, that these things are like dog whistles to plenty of young people? I was playing with mine after just giving it a full charge, and each press would elicit a yelp from my 13 year old daughter who was across the room with her back to me. I smiled fiendishly as I continued to press it…

That’s a given for speakers, but part of the secret sauce of the mics in these systems is how they work along with their software when separating different noises in the room from the actual person giving the commands.

I think the whole canned air industry has got that covered, though.

They do make material that is meant for speakers, but unsure how that would affect the special mic array inside the Dot. The way I have mine currently recessed appeals to me because it is somewhat consistent with the other fixtures next to it - where if it was completely flush-mount it would actually stand out more.

That’s awesome! Let us know when we can actually buy it.

Not competing, it’s the same mount I used, in fact.

I think that one you linked doesn’t look as nice - they should have made it round!
