While improving the music-listening experience on Echo devices today, the company has also announced a generous student discount for Amazon Music Unlimited. 'Soon, users will be able to play their favorite song, alter the volume, or change an input in any room where our connected products are placed, simply by asking Alexa to do so.' 'Sound United is constantly striving to provide consumers with the best possible user experience - with AI voice services simplifying how we control our home environments and products, we're excited Denon, Marantz, and HEOS customers will be some of the first to experience Alexa multi-room audio compatibility and the power of voice control,' he said. Sound United is 'excited' about how the collaboration will enhance its user experience, according, CEO and president Kevin Duffy, said. 'We're proud of the work we've done together as Amazon's first multi-room partner - all you'll need is an Alexa-enabled device and playing music out loud on Sonos will be as easy as saying 'Alexa, play music in the living room.' 'This has been a close collaboration from the beginning as we've worked together to combine the magic of Alexa with the seamless multi-room audio capabilities that Sonos pioneered.' Sonos Vice President of Software, Antoine Leblond, echoed this statement, saying working with Amazon on this was 'an obvious choice' because 'Alexa set the standard for voice in smart homes.' Listening to great music on Samsung speakers has never been easier.' 'With Alexa multi-room audio and Samsung, customers will simply be able to ask Alexa to play their favorite music in any room of the house – using only their voice. 'We're thrilled to integrate Alexa multi-room audio with Samsung speakers,' said Jun Young Kim, Vice President of AV Business Team, Samsung. 'Doing so will allow customers to play their music across supported Echo and AVS devices - for example, a customer with three Echo devices and two standalone AVS speakers can play synchronized music across all five devices,' the firm said.Īmazon is working with companies including Sonos, Bose, Sound United, and Samsung on this - the tools will be available in early 2018. Users, however, have long been interested in multi-room listeningĪdditionally, Amazon also announced two new sets of tools for developers to bring multi-room music control to their Alexa Voice Service (AVS) speakers.

Other than the fact that they would all be linked to the same account, there was no way to use them in tandem. Until now, having more than one Echo device offered nothing more to the experience.
