    Looking to buy a mid-range home music system... WITHOUT A MICROPHONE. It'll eventually be that we'll pay extra not to have the mics, right?🙄

        Microphones and cameras are invasive technologies, and to the degree them come integrated, there should be a hardware off switch. Nuts.

        I'd put up with the bluetooth, but just want to play music. We're not paranoid; always listening devices are creepy. https://twitter.com/panchovera/status/921364926958112769 …

        It comes with a microphone and Alexa. I'll pay extra not to buy it. Give me hardware off switch, and I'd buy it.https://twitter.com/jonathanstegall/status/921365989908013056 …

        Does the Sonos one have a microphone now? I had been thinking it looked nice.

        I suggest simply buying components. Most of mine are used, 'cause people don't want "old guy stereos" now &they're cheap! EXCELLENT sound. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/921364115049930758 …

        Shouldn't be too hard to do. You can buy it as components easily.

        All speakers are in some sense microphones, but not likely hackable (tho I guess it depends on the system)

        Mine is a nice "old" stereo system (tuner, wired speakers etc) plugged into a TV with a first gen Chromecast. TV is the Aux. Works amazing.

        Sonos works nicely, even on their mic enabled cloud model one there is a hw switch to turn that part off.
