![]() In any case, it's an aesthetic that's inherently pleasing, if only for its symmetry. ![]() The top of the Cube features embedded far-field microphones, control buttons, and the familiar "Alexa" strip. The monolithic Fire TV Cube presents a pleasing symmetrical aesthetic. I like to think at some point in Amazon's product design division, after the moderate success of the Fire TV Stick, somebody was like, "Alright, how do we make a big standalone box? Well, no one's done a cube yet." And voila, the Fire TV Cube was born. From the tiny Roku stick to the humongous Xbox One, we have a plethora of ways to watch Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and YouTube-amongst many other things. There's something altogether pleasing about the Cube's designĭevices that stream media to your TV come in many shapes and sizes. Now that you've got a solid understanding of what this device is and what it's supposed to do, let's talk about how it actually works. While you could do technically achieve this via separate Echo and Fire TV devices, this is a more affordable way to do it, and also gets you the IR extender and HDMI-CEC abilities. Note that there's no HDMI cable included.Įssentially, the Cube acts like a Fire TV Stick and an Amazon Echo speaker in one, able to take your voice commands and immediately control your TV. In the box, you'll get the Cube itself (pictured: the back, with power, IR extender, USB, and HDMI ports), an ethernet adapter, an IR extender, and a power cable. ![]()
