Because the devices are hands-free and accept voice commands, they are a great option for seniors who don't have computers or those with vision or mobility limitations. Instead of typing on the computer or tapping on the screen for information, you can ask Alexa or Google - digital assistants running on smart audio speakers - to give you the answer to your question or answer your question, work for you. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

There are all kinds of ways you can benefit from a smart audio speaker. We've outlined the main reasons why we should consider getting a 3D Smart audio speaker with Hi-res audio playback below.

It's no wonder that communicating with friends and family, especially children and grandchildren, is one of the most popular ways for seniors to use voice technology.

Someone to speak to Although these devices are not human, they have features that make you feel like you have a friend and can help you improve your conversation and listening skills. A growing body of research suggests that digital assistants can also help seniors feel less self-sufficient.

Daily tasks When your smart speaker is connected to other smart home devices, you can control your TV, lights, and thermostat with your voice. Talk about quality!
