Excellent design that looks great in any room, 2.5-inch circular screen is bright, crisp, and doubles as a clock, Camera can be completely disabled, Great sound in a compact package, Powerful voice-recognition capabilties, Fantastic Alexa integration, wit
Hefty cord somewhat limits where it can be placed, Videos are truncated in full-screen mode, You can't use voice commands to stream music from your own local server, You can use voice commands with only a handful of the 80+ streaming services Sonos suppor
The Echo Spot just might be the perfect smart speaker, with a versatility and fashion-sense that give it a sense of purpose and style.In a two-device race to rule table-top A.I, Google Home bests Amazon Echo in terms of audio quality, microphone range, d...
The Harman Kardon Invoke is not the best smart speaker out there, though that is pretty subjective to whichever personal assistant you'd rather use. But the Harman Kardon Invoke is a great speaker, if you do use Windows and Cortana, and are looking for so...
Abstract: The Invoke is a beautiful speaker, especially compared to competitors like the Echo and the Google Assistant-powered Link offered by HK's sister brand, JBL. Standing just under ten inches tall, the Invoke's outer housing is made almost entirely of gray al...

Excellent audio, Cortana has good general knowledge
Limited smart-home compatibility, Very few skills, Bulky power brick
For its first smart speaker, Microsoft has a great device — acoustically speaking — in the Harman Kardon Invoke. Everything I played through it sounded excellent, almost on a par with the Alexa-enabled Sonos One, and miles better than either the Amazon Ec...
Great sound quality, Convenient touch pad and volume adjuster ring, Cortana has one of the more natural-sounding voices of all the AI assistants, Conveniently makes Skype calls to contacts and other numbers
Cortana only responds to "Hey Cortana." No variations allowed, No Pandora integration at launch, Not as many skills as Amazon's Alexa, Unable to connect to other Bluetooth speakers/sound systems, No word on when Alexa and Cortana can "speak" to each other
Abstract: Bass response is better than most of the competing systems but isn't exactly earth-shaking. What bass it does have is tight and impactful. The frequency response is 60Hz - 20kHz (-6dB) and it really doesn't have much below 60Hz.The midrange and treble are...

Abstract: People often stop after Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant when rattling off the list of smart assistants. Cortana really gets no love at all, outside of stories about Windows 10. The oversight can be chalked up, at least in part, to the fact that AI has be...
Sound quality is better than Amazon's line of speakers and an Invoke purchase includes unlimited Skype calling
Cortana needs a much wider set of skills, as Alexa does more and offers more integration with smart home platforms
If you're a fan of Cortana, Windows 10 or Microsoft in general, Harman Kardon's Invoke is an exciting new smart speaker with quality sound and most of the expected smart speaker tricks...
First smart speaker with Microsoft's Cortana voice assistant
As a voice assistant, Cortana isn't as polished as the competition, Speaker woke without using the wake word several times in testing, Mediocre sound quality, particularly for the price
Harman Kardon's Invoke, the first Microsoft Cortana-powered speaker, is a poor competitor for voice assistants from Amazon and Google...
