Until June 13, smart Amazon products such as speakers and headphones equipped with the virtual assistant Alexa can be purchased online at a discount of up to 34%.
These accessories are called smart because they can be voice-activated to carry out a series of commands at home. Some models allow wireless connection to other smart devices such as lamps and televisions.
