Would getting both be a good idea or if you listen to music get the echo? What does the dot do that the echo will not? null

It does everything Echo does but with a lower audio range, both input, and output. You can pair the Echo Dot to Bluetooth speakers. The full-size Echo allows you to pair Bluetooth-enabled devices to it but not it to other speakers.

In my opinion it depends on how you plan to use the device. The echo can fill a room the size of a standard two car garage with music. The echo dot would be better for a guest bedroom or smaller. One difference in design other than size is the echo dot offers a 3.5 MM jack input which can be used to connect to headphones or sounds bars. The echo does not offer this feature.

I have 2 dots, and listen to music with both of them. Yes, they are no super stereo system. But I have them going when I am cleaning and have friends over, and they are just fine.

Sherryberry · Answer

Same thing

Mygirls · Answer

You. Can get music on this one to. You just have to download it. Just follow the steps.

Nate · Answer

The Echo does everything the dot does, it's simply larger and has much better speakers. However, I plugged my dot into a stereo and it sounds great

We do not have it long enough to make a fair evaluation.

Gooch · Answer

Yes. The Dot is small , so you may want to use another speaker. You can use a auxiliary or blue tooth for connectivity.

Allycatstoo · Answer

They are basically the same in function. The echo has better speakers. The dot has an outlet that can be hooked to a stereo system. They are both blue-tooth so you can pair either to a portable speaker. I actually started out with both and put them in different places in the house. Since I am slowly going partially wireless in the house I have added several others so I can get Alexa to do stuff when I am in various rooms. I am currently looking into hubs and/or nesting router configurations to expand on the abilities that Alexa provides. I recommend trying both.

They do the same things, but the dot is smaller, and the sound is not good for music listening. I have both and I use the dot in my bedroom to change my thermostat and set my lights to on and off, but music is best with the full size echo. It has better speakers and more of them. The Echo and the Echo dot work well with each other, so you can connect them.
