#Review

I literally spent months searching for a Bluetooth speaker that looks like a radio with Alexa built in, or indeed an actual radio with the aforementioned artificial intelligence built in. All I could find were DAB radios and the odd Bluetooth speaker that requires you to use an app while accessing Alexa. Meaning, the appliance did not actually have Alexa built in, it just gave you audible access to Alexa via your phone or a linked Alexa device.

I was about to give up when I found this beautiful Hepburn Voice model. Not only does it have Alexa genuinely built inside, the craftsmanship of this product is surprisingly good! It has a good solid weight to it, so does not feel cheap, and the materials used to make it, gives it a very superior look and luxurious feel. And the best thing is, after you have used the Hepburn VQ app and your Amazon Alexa account to set it all up, you no longer need any app to use ALEXA! The Hepburn Voice becomes a standalone Alexa device!

Having said, having the Hepburn Voice app handy, definitely opens up way more features for the Bluetooth speaker side of things!

Now on to the matter of, "it's not a radio, but it is, sort of". Essentially it is a portable rechargeable Bluetooth speaker that looks like a deluxe vintage radio that you can just leave plugged in as a standalone Alexa unit. And because it has Alexa, you can pretty much stream almost any radio station, free, that you like via the various Alexa skills/services like TuneIn, Live365 and many more! So not only does it look like a radio, you can make it sound like one too! ;)

So for me, it's a win win! And with the added bonus of a built in rechargeable battery, you can use it on the go! If anybody cares to check, I did an unboxing on my YT channel.
