Amazon and Google are the top smart speaker vendors in a product category that the former launched when the first Echo speaker hit stores in late 2014. Since then, countless tech companies have launched their own alternatives. Google was the most successful of the bunch with its Home and Nest speaker lines. Apple joined the market with higher-priced HomePods that failed to make a real impact. Several other smart speaker models are available too, including devices that are mainly sold in Asian markets. Chinese tech company Baidu is a massive player in the business, although you might not be able to purchase its devices outside of China.
With that in mind, it’s not surprising to see Microsoft throw its hat into the ring. Its Intelligent Speakers are closer to launch than ever, and they offer a few key features that you won’t find on competing devices.
