Are there difference between this and a 13$ M5 Atom Echo?

Like…?

Edit: I’ve bought the M5 some months ago but I haven’t had the time to play around with it, should I buy this one and forget about the M5?

I have 2 of the Atoms; they’re janky and need to be reset often, it doesn’t pick up your voice very well, and you can barely hear the responses. 2/7

I set up the Atom and it isn’t great at picking up voice commands. It also seems to have trouble with stability.

Yeah the mic and speaker on the atom are OK if you are within 2 feet, beyond that they aren’t any good. This looks good

I couldn’t get mine to work properly at all. They’re barely reacting to “okay nabu” and when they do they just misunderstand what I’m saying after the trigger words.
