All the Fire TV sets come with an Alexa voice remote, which has a built-in microphone for voice commands.Īlso, all the models in both series have four HDMI inputs, including one with eARC, an enhanced version of the Audio Return Channel.

The most obvious feature these set share is the Amazon Fire TV smart TV platform, the same one used in Amazon’s Fire TV streaming players.
