The Tap is set up the same way as far as the physical buttons for volume up
and down. Of course, you can always say "wake name. Volume 10". for max
and any number lower accordingly.

I don't know about the Echo Tap, but the Dot, Echo and Echo Plus all have
volume controls. On the Echo Dot you have 4 circular indentations on the
top, if you think of a clock they are in the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock
positions. Furthermore, if you are in front of your Echo Do so that where
the cable is plugged in is facing away from you (at the 12 o'clock position)
then the indentation right by the cable is volume up, across from it at the
6 o'clock position is volume down.
On the Echo and Echo Plus you can turn the entire top of the device, it's
about the first half inch and it turns very easily. Clockwise is volume up
and counter clockwise is volume down.

You may have already tried this. Say "wake word. Volume 10" that will
give you maximum volume.

To hear what Alexa is saying, I have to hold the device about 2 inches from
my ear.

Yes, but for me having to walk to the device and having to tap it to listen
seems to take most of the convenience out of being able to just wake it up
with "Alexa" or "Echo" or whatever wake word you set. I recently changed the
wake word from Alexa to Echo at my Echo Dot which I keep at my office
because one of my employees is called Alex and pretty much every time I
activated the intercom on our phone system and called "Alex" the Echo would
try to interpret what I was saying next. It definitely seems to have
problems distinguishing when you say "Alex" instead of "Alexa".

Sieghard

You could also use the Amazon Tap.

Besides purchasing a second Echo to have downstairs, there are a couple
other options:
First, you could purchase a third party battery which makes it as mobile as
your WiFi coverage allows.
Second, you could use an existing or purchase a bluetooth speaker,
headphones, etc. and listen anywhere within bluetooth range of your Echo.
But you can't really interact with your Echo without using something like
the Echo remote control.

Hey guys,
OK, so i got the amazon echo plus. This thing is absolutely wild, love
it! I've got the app running with voiceover. So now the big question,
would be great to get some feedback on what you guys use it for. I've
gotten music working, works awesome, and tried adding events on the
calendar and stuff. Just curious to see some of the things you guys do
with it?
I thought for some reason the echo plus had a batery. 1 of the things
i wanted to be able to do is use it downstairs when i'm working out.
I would guess i'll have to get another 1 if i wanna do that.
