[br]Back in August last year, Bose unveiled two soundbars and a smart home speaker that came built-in with Alexa. This move was somewhat surprising given the company chose to integrate Assistant into the refreshed QC35, but the manufacturer did say other voice assistants would make their way to its speakers at a later stage. This is now the case, as an automatic software update brings Google’s digital helper to the Home Speaker 500, Soundbar 500, and Soundbar 700. The feature will also be available on the Home Speaker 300, a new compact product that will be available this summer.[br][br]Bose is following Sonos’ move by letting users choose which voice assistant they’d rather use, as owners will be able to switch between Alexa and Assistant using the Bose Music app, and buyers will be given the choice between the two directly when setting up their device. Once you’ve selected Assistant as your go-to helper, you’ll be able to interact with it just like you would using a Google Home and activate it by saying “Hey Google.”[br][br]Unfortunately, there’s no mention of other Bose models in the announcement, so we’re not sure if the feature will be extended to more devices, but it’s safe to expect the manufacturer to integrate both voice assistants into its products moving forward.[br][br][br][br]#Infinix_India.... |
