 Hey guys, Thundee here and welcome to another battlehead. Now this is between the Echo 2020 and the Nest Audio. To find out who has the best sounding smart speaker because they've talked about how good the audio is and all that fun jazz. Now, just to let you guys know, we've gone ahead and partnered with MediaTek on this video and they do have an SoC inside the brand new Echo 2020. So let's take a look at both devices and we'll start off with the Nest Audio. Nest Audio has a brand new design and it's also got fabric all around it and it's more of a cylindrical standing shape if you will. In terms of buttons, there's only one button in the back which is the mute button. There's a power port, simple G logo and that's it. Controls are pretty simple and easy. It's all on the top front side of your device. So on the right hand side to tap that or increase the volume, left hand side reduce, center of course is your function button. Just have lights that light up in the center of the speaker indicating the speaker is active for you. Now, Google talks about this having of course 75% louder volume and that's great and all but we have to see how well it sounds, right? Overall. And this of course will work within the Google ecosystem. It's got wifi, Bluetooth connectivity, all that fun stuff comes in various colors. Now, moving over to the Echo 2020, brand new design as well. It looks like a ball and it sits on your table. The idea here is to disperse the sound as wide as possible for you. Now it's got a fabric finish, comes in three colors. Buttons here are physical buttons. You've got your volume up and down, your function button as well as your mute button. So you know where the buttons are. On the lower half of third of the device, you do have a power plug and you have a lining jack which is pretty nice. So that's something quite rare and different. Now, this is powered by the AZ1 newer engine and this is where Mediatek has the brand new SOC, the MT-8512 which gives us a ton of new features that they are claiming. We'll do a fantastic job and we have to check them out. So there's a new high performance voice DSP which should give us faster accurate wake up word calls and voice detection. So if we ask a question or something like that, we should get some faster responses out there. This also uses an ultra efficient 12 millimeter process, high responsive to gigahertz dual core CPU and fast, of course, memory. So we'll see how all that comes in and compares to, of course, the Nest Audio. Now, without wasting any more time, let's go ahead and just test the speakers out and see how well they sound. So speaker test is done, right? And they both sound good. Honestly, they do sound good. I've got a much larger apartment. I've got really high ceilings. So just take a quick look at my ceilings. So I've got high ceilings and they still do a good job in giving me enough sound to generate and fill up most of the space. Starting off with the Nest Audio. It was loud, it was clear, but it was a little bit flat on the mids. You can tell that the center of the song felt a little bit far away. Compared to the Echo 2020, where the mids come out really strong, the highs were a little bit compressed, but the mids and the lows came out well. So it gave you that, you know, it gave you that idea that the whole room was being filled with the sound. So in terms of audio, I would go with the Echo 2020 or just on the slight edge on that, because I really liked the fact that the mids came out really well. Even though the highs were crushed a little bit, you could still hear those quite as well. Now, the other thing, of course, with these devices is that, of course, they connect to either, you know, Google Home or Alexa, and they've got some really great functionality built into them. You can use both of them with voice controls. You can use the apps as well. But of course, this is testing the speakers, and I'm not going to go into the intricacies of which one can do what. We know Alexa is integrating to 100,000 devices, plus devices, Google is also integrating to, you know, thousands of devices as well. I don't know the exact number, but we do know that, but I want to see how well they respond when I just ask a simple question. So I'm going to pose three questions here, just to give you an idea, and we'll see how fast it responds in those cases. Here, Google. What's the weather in Brooklyn today? It's in a low of 62. Currently, it's 67 degrees in cloudy. Alexa, what's the weather in Brooklyn? In Brooklyn, it's 69 degrees Fahrenheit with cloudy skies. Today, you can look for intermittent clouds with a high of 70 degrees and a low of 62 degrees. Hey, Google, what is 480 times 289? The answer is 138,720. Alexa, what is 480 times 289? 480 times 289 is 138,720. Hey, Google, tell me a joke. Did you hear about the two antennas that got married? The ceremony was okay, but the reception was great. Alexa, tell me a joke. What's the best thing about Mondays? I don't know, ask me on Tuesday. That actually was surprising. You can clearly see that the Echo 2020 did a faster job in responding to my question. Once I said Alexa and asked my question, it responded right away. While the Nest Audio took a little bit of time, it wasn't slow, it just took a couple of seconds longer or maybe a second longer in certain cases, but you could clearly tell the speed difference between both speakers. So that gives you a good idea of how each one sounds when asking specific questions. And that also goes to play into that DSB from the AZ1 neural edge processor. So that's actually nice to see. But I think overall, you've got some two really solid speakers and two different ecosystems, if you will. But if you're going to look at one to give you a louder or at least bigger sound, I will go with the Echo 2020. I also think the Echo 2020 does a pretty good job in just answering and responding to me as quick as possible. So in those categories, they win. The Nest Audio is really solid overall, does a fantastic job as well. In terms of audio and also does a good job in voice recognition. Now, if you guys have any questions, any comments, let me know.
