Amazon's Echo (http://mashable.com/category/amazon-echo/) made controlling music with your voice easy-peasy, but its sound quality could be a lot better.
Enter Whyd (https://whyd.com/), an Apple-esque voice-controlled speaker that claims to offer better sound than the Echo, though it lacks all of the smart home functionality of Amazon's product. Its speaker promises louder, clearer omnidirectional sound through its four 40mm full-range drivers, 100mm subwoofer and ported high-pass enclosure for deep bass.

Two Whyd speakers can be paired for stereo sound, and multiple speakers can be synced for multi-room audio. It supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and AirPlay. Read more...
