Luckily, the process of turning your Amazon Echo speaker with Alexa into a plain, regular Bluetooth speaker is pretty straightforward In this way, you will have a model with Bluetooth connectivity to connect any compatible device as it would happen with any model. Of course, you will not be able to use Amazon’s voice assistant. Let’s see what are the steps you should follow.

  • First, confirm that you have your phone’s Bluetooth enabled so you can pair the speaker.
  • Now say “Alexa pair” or “Alexa, Bluetooth on” within the range of your Amazon Echo smart speaker to initiate pairing mode.
  • If you have followed the steps correctly, a flashing blue light will turn on and the device will appear under “Other devices” in your phone’s Bluetooth menu.
  • Tap on Echo to make them link.

As you may have seen, the process is extremely simple . With this, you will have a traditional speaker instead of a smart model. Do you want to enjoy your speaker with Alexa at full capacity? You just have to say “Alexa disconnect from my phone” and problem solved. A very comfortable option if you do not need Alexa services and want to enjoy the benefits that the Amazon family of speakers offers with respect to sound.
