I use my Amazon Tap for listening to music by the pool or listening to Dodger games in the backyard. I have my Tap on my desk. In the morning listening to flash briefing or certain radio stations without having to wake the echo which is in our living room. The Ehco is set for anyone to use, the tap is primarily mine which I use on my desk or outside. I have it set up for push to talk, no wake word. You need to push the talk button to initiate, but if there are follow up responses the tap does beep for the follow up,, so don't need to push to talk for every single input. For example,tap the button "open MLB At Bat." She comes back and asks which team do you want to listen to and sounds the tone to reply automatically. It's a cool device and has decent sound.

Plus, I'd prefer that. When I want Alexa or Siri or whomever, I want them, but not just open.
