New Amazon Echo speakers: Echo Show 8, All-New Echo, LED Echo Dot, Echo Studio 

Echo speakers stole the show, as expected. Amazon dropped four new devices, which include the Echo Show 8, an all-new Echo, Echo Dot with Clock, and the Echo Studio.

The Echo Show 8 ($129) is Amazon's latest smart display. It combines the Echo Show 5 and original Echo Show into an 8-inch HD screen. It's available for pre-order.

The all-new Echo ($149.99) offers improvements, adopting the design of the Echo Plus in a fresh array of fabric options.

The Echo Dot with Clock ($59.99) arrived to make Amazon's smallest smart home speaker all that more practical. It packs an LED under the speaker mesh that displays the time. It can also show the temperature or alarm times. 

The Echo Studio ($199.99) might be the best sounding Amazon speaker we've heard yet. It sports 3D audio from Dolby Atmos, which is excellent for those using Amazon's HD Music service.

New Echo wearables from Amazon: Echo Buds, Echo Frames, Echo Loop

While some kind of Alexa-enabled earbuds were rumored to drop, smart glasses and a smart ring came as a surprise. 

The Echo Buds ($129) are Amazon's first pair of Alexa-packed earbuds. They sport Bose Active Noise Reduction Technology and have 5 hours of battery life, or up to 20 hours with the charging case. 

Echo Frames ($179) are lightweight, Alexa-enabled glasses with directional speakers. In other words, you can now wear Alexa on your face.

The Echo Loop ($99) puts Alexa on your fingertips. It has a tiny microphone and speaker that you raise to your face to use. It also features a vibrating mechanism for notifications.

New Amazon smart home devices: Echo Glow, Echo Flex, Amazon Smart Oven

Amazon added more smart home devices to its current lineup. All can be operated with Alexa.

The Echo Glow ($29.99) is an adorable smart lamp that changes color and brightness on command. You can set up different routines, timers and modes to set the mood however you'd like.

The Echo Flex ($24.99) is a neat new smart plug of sorts. Except rather acting an extension of a standard outlet, it features a USB port that supports new smart accessories from Amazon, including a motion sensor and nightlight.

The Amazon Smart Oven ($249.99) is a combination microwave, convection oven, air fryer and food warmer that you can operate with your voice via an Alexa-enabled device

10:08 a.m. PT/1:08 p.m. ET: Wow, lots of privacy updates. Amazon is addressing the smart home security concerns head-on.

9:38 a.m. PT/12:38 p.m. ET: We're fueling up with a true Seattle treat: a stuffed doughnut from General Porpoise. The team back in New York is jealous.
