I know Bungie, EA or whoever-it-is originally charged a bunch of money for this useless piece of garbage. I got mine for $10 after all the hate over this device and the price came down. I'm just using it as a dumb little doodad that is hooked up to my AV receiver so it automatically turns on every time the receiver turns on and off every time it turns off. It makes a cool little sound when it turns on and the lights come on and stay on (and they're not too bright where I have it). So in that regard, it's perfect...I could also have it hooked up to a smart plug like TP-LINK makes and have it turn on and off on a schedule or any other device that has a USB port if I wanted to...
I know it's supposed to interface with some dumb app via Destiny and some people think the sound is too high or low and/or the app sucks. Since I don't care about any of that and will never use it. It's not worth more than $10-$15 honestly since the app and other things are so crappy so don't buy it for that. But if you want a dumb gadget that has little lights, here ya go buddy...
Not quite as cool as the original Destiny 1 Ghost where the lights glow and fade....but whatever....

Does What it was meant to.
Your probably wondering why I’m giving this such a positive review considering everyone else... understand that I only paid $9.99 for this Ghost Speaker and this is my honest opinion about it. I should mention I use this with my Amazon HD 8 Fire Tablet and it works great (no need for an true “ECHO” just and Alexa enabled device.First off, this speaker is NOT worth it’s original price. I would have happily paid $19.99 for this, but I ended up snagging it for $9.99. The reason I feel Ghost isn’t worth his original price (and why I can understand the angry buyers for the price alone) is because it’s literally just a Ghost Speaker, nothing more. The thing is, you can just download the ghost skill for your Amazon device (Echo, Show, Amazon Fire Tablet, etc) and get the same results. For the original price, this should have been either and Amazon Alexa device like the Echo Dot or it should have been a device specifically made so you could talk directly to it and not say “Alexa, Ask Ghost for my Next Milestone.” The fact that I can’t just say “Ghost, Hello!” Is frustrating. I have to ask “Alexa” to ask/tell “Ghost” something.That’s where the REAL nit picky bits about this ends however. The rest is fairly positive.Honestly, I don’t understand why people had such a hard time setting Ghost up, it was a breeze and I have one of the worst internet connections. I had ZERO problems. In fact, they updated the set up instructions which if you go to the Destiny Game Website you can find (not Bungies site, but the game site itself). They must have updated it, as when I opened the box there was a note to go to the site for new set up instructions. I set him up in about 2 minutes (he only took 30 seconds to update) and then he was ready to go.Sure the red light is awkward and bright, and SURE it could have been in the back or been a different color, but it indicates ghost is working, so it is, but weirdly, a necessity. Why they picked red, is a bit weird to me though.Overall, I’m happy with my purchase. This was my honest opinion. Sure this could have been so much more, but it is what it is. It states exactly what it does, what it is, and what it was meant for in the description. Why anyone thought it would be anything more was just a misunderstanding on their part.

I’m giving this 5 stars because I bought it on prime day for $10. It’s a great display.
People complain because “you can’t balance it and it comes with no stand” however if you balance it like I have it, it stands perfectly fine. Also, if you PAY ATTENTION, the way I stand it is RIGHT SIDE UP. Every one who’s complained is trying to stand the ghost on his side.
I don’t have Alexa yet so I haven’t experienced a set up and no it’s not a Bluetooth speaker. But as far as functionality, all reviews say it works like it’s SUPPOSE TO which is switch gear for you and update you on your milestones and such.
For $20 or less, this is a great buy. For original price? Not worth it. But for $10? Stellar ghost. Looks great.
