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

Yes

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

Thanks. Other 2 devices that I've bought out of excitement that will keep taking dust :( I'll try the "voice" and let's hope that I'll have time to set it up! 🙈
