Product Description

Product Description

Triby is the first Alexa-enabled speaker that is fully portable yet can hear you from across the room. Its design is as adorable as it is practical with buttons for shortcuts to your favorite music and an always-on screen to display memos, information about what you are listening to, and much more.
Triby features a superior Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speaker that provides awesome sound quality for listening to music from personal devices, streaming services and Internet radio stations. The sophisticated microphones work with the speaker to turn Triby into a hands-free speakerphone for VoIP and paired smartphone calls, while its E-Ink screen shows messages, and doodles that family members send via the Triby app.

From the Manufacturer

Alexa-enabled and portable. Just Ask.

Just Ask Alexa to hear the news, listen to music, set a timer, get the weather, control your smart home, and more. New skills are continually added - such as ordering a pizza from Domino’s, asking HuffPost for headlines, or requesting a ride from Uber.
Enjoy thousand of skills from third party developers.
The Alexa Voice Service is built in the cloud, so it is always getting smarter. And because Triby is always connected, updates are delivered automatically.

Be heard from across the room

Triby is more than just another Alexa-enabled speaker.
It's a truly portable device that can hear your from across the room.
You can activate Alexa remotely with your voice, or locally by pressing the tap-to-tap button.
With its embedded battery, take it from the living room, to the kid's room, to the backyard without interruption.
And with its magnetic back, Triby can live on your fridge door.

Smartest speaker

Ask Triby to play music from Prime Music, iHeartRadio, or TuneIn. Triby can pair with any smartphone with its Bluetooth connection, or play music from online radio stations and through Spotify Connect when connected to WiFi. You can pre-set your favorite playlists and stations, and access them at the push of a button – even when Alexa is disabled.

A companion for your everyday life

With Triby, you'll never miss a beat. From time and temperature (even humidity) information to voice-activated timers and alarms, there's a spot for Triby in every aspect of our everyday lives.

Modern Day Sticky Note

Triby transforms the fridge memo into a fun digital experience. Send messages, emoji and freestyle drawn doodles to Triby ’s E-Ink display via its dedicated app. Its fun mailbox flag is raised to alert you to incoming messages, making family communications child’s play.

Simple Set Up, Easy Control

About the Startup

Describe your product in 3 words.

Sound, Speak, Scribble

How did you come up with the idea for this product?

We realized there was a need for a shared device in the kitchen that the whole family could use to communicate and enjoy music, the way we used to do with kitchen phones and radios. Since the kitchen is a place where you often hang out with your hands full, we designed a device that is voice controlled, has big rugged buttons and is easy to clean. With Triby, you can stay connected while cooking without having to touch a screen!

What makes your product special?

Triby is one of the first Alexa-enabled third party devices. In addition to giving you access to a world of possibilities with the Alexa Voice Service:
• Triby is an excellent speaker with profound bass and clear treble.
• Triby can hear you from across the room, even when it’s operating on battery.
• Triby can stream your favorite radio stations and Spotify playlists at the touch of a button.
• Triby’s E-ink screen is always on and displays information about the station, playlist or track you are listening to. It can also display messages sent through the app.
• Triby is a social hub made for the social hub of the home: the kitchen. It enables the whole family to make calls and stay connected.

What has been the best part of your startup experience?

As a company with a specialty in creating speakers and telecoms devices, we are excited by the world of possibilities consumer products like Triby offer families to improve their lives. Our expertise in far field voice capture and connected devices helped us integrate the Alexa Voice Service quickly and now the already multi-functional Triby becomes even more versatile and intelligent, giving families access to continually evolving cloud-based content and services.

The Trouble with Triby
1 Star
The Trouble with Triby
Alexa indicator stopped displaying and now will flash intermittently but will not engage permanently - charging or not.I purchased two of these for Alexa integration and intercom capabilities back in April and they both worked fine until a couple of days ago. My guess is that a recent firmware update wreaked havoc. Alexa will not launch (unless it wants to), tap to talk does not toggle to the device from the app, and turning the microphones on and off from Triby no longer works. Alexa indicator will occasionally flash on and then quickly disappear - basically an overpriced Bluetooth speaker at this point. I've contacted Invoxia for some help and we'll see what happens. Having these for less than 3 months and losing one of the prime functions I purchased them for is discouraging.I will say that the speakers are decent for their size, battery life was decent (I didn't use these for music as much as intercom & Alexa for my smarthome setup), the magnetic mount is genius, and when Alexa worked it was awesome. I'll keep ya posted!

Wonderful for my daughter who loves Alexa and loves music. I am a huge Echo fan and have one echo and one dot. i liked the idea of alexa for my daughter. One fantastic feature is the programmable call buttons. Simply install the App on your phone and with one button touch your kids can call your cell phone, no matter where you are. You can also call them. My daughter uses it now instead of asking her mom to call me on the cell, she just pushes the button. It's in our kitchen and is now our source of music and alexa. The battery life is not great so we leave it plugged in all the time. I am planning on using it outside at next summers BBQ's. I had a few issues with the first unit, but the customer support was AMAZING, the simply shipped me a new unit and I shipped back the other one... all the way to France. They were very helpful and after a few emails with Nate :) I was up and running again. If your looking for a great way to let your little ones start using Alexa, and believe me they love it, this is the product. Great build quality, simple to use and fantastic customer support gives it 5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nearly good.
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2017
Color: Cool GreyVerified Purchase
I'm somewhat disappointed with the Triby. There's a lot of potential but it sort of fails in too many areas to be worth it.

My expectations were simple, I wanted a device that worked like my Echo that was a bit more portable. Even better that it's magnetized and can stick to my fridge as I wanted the device to be in my kitchen. On some levels, it's ok. You can set internet radio stations and use it as a speakerphone. You do have access to Alexa to be able to manipulate your home automation devices, etc. You cannot however do much else in the way of media playback. Pandora? Amazon Music? Audiobooks? Nope. A big part of the allure of Triby was being able to play music and listen to audiobooks while I'm cleaning my home or messing around in the kitchen. My bad for not doing more research.

Performance wise, it gets worse. It hears "Alexa" all the time from our living room TV - our kitchen is open....but it hears it so much more than my Echo devices. I don't get it. To test my theory I set my Dot up even closer to the TV. I mean, even if the TV is set really low, Triby's there hearing stuff and responding but the Dot is quiet. The Dot was really good about only responding to words sounding like Alexa. So, when the names Alex, Alexander, Alexandra came up, yeah the Dot would go off. Triby hears it at least 5 times as much. Of course, when I call to it? Nada. I have to almost shout at it, even when I'm close to it. I'd say it's got faulty mics but how could I when the TV sets it off so much? I set it to tap to talk mode but the Triby only lasts about a day so I keep it plugged in 24/7 thusly, it's listening all the time.

There is some good. The speaker is nice. It's pretty loud and has a depth to it. It's not cheap sounding by any means. The epaper display is cute and can be potentially useful. Of course, one could argue that you can text a phone directly and get the same result, but as I said, it can be useful. Maybe a romantic gesture, a cute warning to the kids or roommates, etc. The clock/time display and temp/humidity is also a nice if slightly unnecessary touch.

So down to the nitty gritty, I feel like some people will be happy with what they get but others won't. If you expect it to act like the Echo, you'll be sorely disappointed. It'll do some of the things the Echo and Alexa will for sure, but some it can't and won't, not yet anyway. If you want a portable wifi enabled speaker with some smart functionality then it might be up your ally. If you're happy with Internet radio or have Spotify then you're all good. Speakerphone functionality is a nice bonus and if you get several of them, you'll have soft-intercom type situation going on which can be useful. I fear this is all we'll ever get with the Triby, seeing as how it's been around for a while and there have been no further upgrades but hey, maybe we'll be surprised and it'll gain some more functions as time goes by. In the end, it depends on where you find your value and what you're willing to spend for it. At full price, I don't think the Triby is worth it. If you catch it on sale at sometimes less than 1/2 the price, I believe it becomes a much, much better value.

Personally speaking, I believe that I may have been happier with the Amazon Echo Tap. I considered buying one but when I bought the Triby, the Tap did not have hand-free capability. This was added by Amazon afterwards so the Triby 'won' back then. If I had to choose now knowing what I know, I would likely have gotten the Tap until the Triby matured some more (if it ever does). I don't hate the Triby though. I do use it. I'd just be using it more with more features.

-2 stars for missing so much media functionality vs. the Echo.

Final update (03/31/2019):

The only mention of the Triby on Invoxias website currently is for support and it is DATED, this is never a good thing. The last update for the app was about 3 months ago, which is better. Alexa on the device isn't any better now than it was. Functionality is pretty much the same across the board, nothing new, nothing broken. I would not recommend you buy this right now unless you are specifically looking at using some feature on it that's not available on/from a newer or more current product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it. Cute, but barely functions.
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2017
Color: Cool GreyVerified Purchase
Ugh! I really wanted to like this product. I bought it because it interacts with Alexa, Spotify, has internet radio, bluetooth, and has a display that can show the time (this, surprisingly, is the hardest feature to find). But the bluetooth can't stay connected to my phone for more than 3-5 minutes. In the middle of playing my book on Audible from my phone, Triby will "speak up" and say that it has lost connection. Yet the book keeps playing through Triby so it is clearly still connected. Then a few seconds later Triby will "speak up" again and say that she's in pairing mode and attempting to find a connection. Ten seconds later, Triby reconnects and the book resumes (yes, I've missed 10-20 seconds of the book). One or two times, especially if I'm moving my phone around, ok. But in the 20 minutes I tried to listen to my book, with my phone either right next to Triby or within a few feet, this happened every 3-5 minutes. No thanks. My cheap bluetooth speaker can do better than this (barely, but it is better). So Triby is being returned.

It's pretty useful when you have Amazon Echo (Alexa)... Otherwise, it's only useful when you have several family members with it too. I have it next to my bed, so I can easily see the time, the weather, and ask many stuff to Alexa. It's cheaper than Echo tap, and you can listen to music and other stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars En general bien en lo particular no tanto
Reviewed in Mexico on October 11, 2017
Color: Cool GreyVerified Purchase
La calidad del audio es suficiente, pero no sobresaliente. En ambientes con eco, si lo usas como manos libres no te escuchan tan bien.
El servicio de Alexa, no es tan bueno ya que muchas veces no se enciende cuando dices "alexa", además de tener que estar conectada para que sirva realmente como alexa, de lo contrario tienes que presionar el boton para acceder al servicio.
No hay botón de BACK o NEXT para las canciones, por lo que si configuraste un playlist de spotify, siempre tienes que escuchar el mismo orden y no hay opción de shuffle.
La calidad del acabado sin el skin de color, es horrible.
Solo soporta autenticación por WEP y no WEP2 (Detalle menor)
Para las llamadas, si estas en la misma red lan, no funciona (detalle menor)
Por otro lado, la batería dura muy bien (pero esta el tema de alexa).

5.0 out of 5 stars Kinderleicht - auch für Technik-Muffel
Reviewed in Germany on January 24, 2017
Color: Cool GreyVerified Purchase
1. Ich habe meinen Triby selbst bezahlt; diese Bewertung ist also ehrlich.

2. "Unser Triby" hat sich zu einem wichtigen Kommunikationsmittel entwickelt:
Alles funktioniert "kinderleicht', ist also auch für Technik-Muffel leicht zu verstehen;
die Symbole sind eindeutig und einfach zu erkennen - auch ohne Lesebrille.

3. Das Empfangen von Nachrichten ist ebenso leicht zu begreifen wie Radiohören und Telefonieren.

4. Das Einrichten des Gerätes ist für Smartphone-Benutzer kein Problem. Auch an diesem Punkt muss man kein "Technik-Experte" sein - ich hab's jedenfalls problemlos geschafft.

5. Am Kühlschrank hält das Gerät prima. Das Gerät steht nicht im Weg, fällt nicht um oder ins Spülbecken. Für uns ist es das optimale Küchenradio.

6. Der Akku meldet auch an das gekoppelte Handy, wenn er aufgeladen werden muss.

7. Von unterwegs - ganz vorsichtig und erst mal leise! - das Radio für die Daheimgebliebenen einzuschalten, weil gerade die Lieblingsmusik gespielt wird, macht Freude. Meistens kommt die Antwort anschließend direkt per Telefontaste.

8. Alle Funktionen findet man auch in anderen Geräten. Aber in dieser Zusammenstellung und imit dieser einfachen Bedienung bietet der Triby wirklich etwas Besonderes: kinderleichte Kommunikation auch für Technik-Muffel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Family Phone and Great Speaker
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 5, 2015
Color: Cool GreyVerified Purchase
I saw the other reviews and I wanted to give a more “family” oriented review for this device. I bought the Triby because I wanted to have more interaction with my young children (aged 4 and 6). Since we added this to the kitchen, it has become a huge attraction to them. The children love making drawings and send these to the device. They also love to call me (their father) or their mother using the very simple buttons. For example, they can call me when I am not at home for dinner and I can participate while they are sitting at the table. I can hear everyone perfectly, even though the device is some 2 meters away from them. I like it because it is not another “screen”, yes my children could also reach me using an iphone or an ipad but we don’t want them to use these devices too much. Triby is just perfect for improving family communication and at the same time decreasing exposure to more screens.

By the way the Triby is also a very good quality speaker. Streaming any radio station in the world via internet radio. I did not have any problems with the radio and we exclusively use Iphones in the family - so it works great for us. It may look expensive but given that it can replace a home phone, an internet radio, a good connected speaker, it seems a bargain.

1.0 out of 5 stars Leider nach zwei Monaten kaputt
Reviewed in Germany on June 27, 2017
Color: Cool GreyVerified Purchase
Nachdem ich im ganzen Haus bereits ein Amazon Echo und zwei Amazon Dot verteilt habe, kam ich dich Fall auf dieses Produkt der Fa. Invoxia. Die Lieferung war wie immer zügig durch Amazon. Der Preis von 149,00 Euro war meiner Meinung nach angemessen. Ein schmales Paket mit minimalem Zubehör. Der Lautsprecher selber, ein USB Kabel und ein dünnes Heftchen als Bedienungsanleitung in Englisch. Die Einrichtung ist allerdings wirklich nicht schwierig. Man sollte jedoch zuerst die App runterladen. Die Verbindung mit der Alexa App ist wirklich simpel und das Einrichtungsprogramm der App leitet auf deutsch durch den Anmeldevorgang. Wenn man den Triby an einen genügend großen "Klangkörper befestigt hat man auch einen satten basslästigen Sound. Die Spielerei mit dem Display auf welchem man Nachrichten hinterlassen kann und wenn man einen zweiten Triby hat auch Sprachnchrichten über VoIP senden kann ist ganz witzig. Auf Zuruf wie Alexa Rot funktioniert das Gerät nur wenn es am Ladegerät angeschlossen ist. Im Akkubetrieb muss man einen Knopf drücken um die Sprachsteuerung zu aktivieren. Leider ist das Gerät jetzt nach 7 Wochen defekt. E-Mails an die Fa. Invoxia bleiben unbeantwortet. Das ist natürlich sehr bedauerlich. Zumal der Preis mittlerweile auf 200 Euro gestiegen ist. Ich werde mir nun einen zweiten Amazon Echo kaufen. Der ist nicht nur billiger, sondern wertiger in der Verarbeitung und auch einfacher in der Bedienung. Und nach 6 Monaten laufen die drei Geräte immer noch einwandfrei... Zum Kauf raten des Triby kann ich wirklich nicht...
