Amazon launches Echo Input in Canada for $29.99

Canadians with home speaker setups can rejoice as the Echo Input is now available on Amazon.ca.

The Echo Input features no internal speakers since it’s designed to connect to external speakers through a 3.5mm headphone jack or via Bluetooth.

The Echo Input is a small device that looks like a wireless charging pad. It features a group of four microphones that allow users to talk to Alexa.

The Echo Input is a more affordable way to add Alexa to other speakers, which makes it perfect for using the company’s multi-room audio technology.

That said, the Echo Dot features a 3.5mm jack so users can set it up in the same way — plus it includes a built-in speaker. The Echo Dot costs $69.99 CAD.

Moreover, the Echo input isn’t compatible with every Bluetooth speaker. Specifically, the Input doesn’t support Bluetooth speakers that need PIN codes. Amazon has a list of supported speakers at this link.

Canadians can pre-order the device in either White or Black starting at $29.99 CAD. After the limited time sale period, Amazon says the cost of the Echo Input will go up to $44.99.
