Customer Ratings & Reviews

Blends with any decor. Great sound. Easy to use.

I loved it, it doesn't take up much space and the sound is very good. I loved it!

This is a good size speaker, much larger than the lower end dot. Better sound as well. Easy to setup and stream music, answer questions. Question of the day is always fun. Very good price for the quality and what it does.

Amazon Echo (4th Gen) is a must buy for your household. It keeps everything together. The size is perfect and the sound quality is great,

Had to replace a high end Sonos that won't connect to new WiFi. This little ball sounds waaaay bigger than what seems possible for its size. And it looks like a piece of art

The 4th Gen Alexa has great sound quality, and looks good in my living area. I purchased it to replace an older model, and am not disappointed!

Really great sound compared to the other Echo Dots. Our use of this specific Echo Dot was to play low level relaxation/meditation music in our Massage chair room. It works wonderfully for that purpose prose but we’ve also tied it into our whole house “Everywhere” group so that it can play whatever we are listen while cleaning or having guests. Really decent treble and a substantial amount of base for a little speaker. Definitely worth the extra money to get the sound that you get from this. Paired with another speaker like itself and an Echo sub it might just be your go to speakers for your entertainment area.

The microphone on this thing is awful.. Constantly confuses me with being a guy, and misses key words if there is noise in the same room.. Besides that... I love this thing!! The sound quality is wonderful (I'm quite a sound quality snob) and the design is fun :) Love this gorgeous blue color!

Not ony does the Echo 4th Gen with premium sound have excellent audio quality, it also has a very stylish design. When I first took it out of the package and held it in my hands, I was impressed by its weight. I knew its heft was signalling the amount of magnets it had driving the various speakers. When I powered it up I enjoyed not only the crisp highnotes, but also the rich full sounding bass notes. We have two rooms that kind of sprawl together over the first floor of our house. I've now connected this speaker with two other Echo speakers into one group. Taken together the three speakers fill our first floor with rich sound. The other speakers, an Echo Plus and an Echo Show also have good audio quality, but I give the edge to the Echo 4th Gen with premium sound as the best of the lot.

I bought two of these on sale for almost fifty percent off and am more than pleased with the Stereo sound (after pairing them in the Alexa app). My only gripe is software related (which may be fixed in an update) in which switching from music to news and then back to music - the two channel Stereo mode ends and I have to restart to get back into Stereo mode. Two speakers in Stereo have more bass than I had expected and I’m glad I didnt spend more money on a subwoofer

The Amazon Echo is a fantastic smart device that has quickly become an essential part of my daily routine! The sound quality is excellent for its size, whether you're playing music, podcasts, or audiobooks. Alexa is incredibly responsive and makes controlling smart home devices a breeze.

Easy to set-up and quality is excellent. Extremely easy to use and the sound works perfect for where we have it.

Works as it's instructed, Alexa is a great listener and is easy to manage. Nicely crafted with a cool design and sturdy good quality materials. Easy to set up and good bang for your buck.

When I first set up this device, I was having microphone communication issues with my Echo (4th Gen). I had to yell at it to get it to hear me, especially if I was playing music loud through it. I saw this same issue mentioned in some other online reviews of this device. I was planning on repackaging it and returning it in exchange for an Echo Dot (3rd Gen). I already have a Dot for the bedroom and it works like a champ. After a little research online, I took the advise of a website that problem solves Echo issues, and unplugged the power for a bit so it could reset itself. After replugging it in and allowing it to reboot, the microphones work perfectly and are actually more sensitive than the Dot. After some experimenting with the EQ, I found the Echo (4th Gen) with premium sound sounds best (to my ears) with Bass @ 6, Mids @ 1, and Treble @ 5. The Echo (4th Gen) with premium sound does have superior sound compared to all the other models, except the Echo Studio, and is vastly better sounding than my Echo Dot. I sometimes run the Echo into my home entertainment center via Bluetooth for even better sound. The moral to this story is: If you run into microphone sensitivity issues and have to yell for the device to hear you, try the solution I used before returning it back to where you got it. Once it's working like it should, you'll be glad you kept it.

Awesome speaker and Alexa communications. Great looking and a lot of sound from such a small device

A friend insisted that I buy this saying that I would love it. I do indeed love it and have recommended it to friends. I actually bought a small version to keep buy my bedside. I ask it to play Vaugh Williams "The Lark Ascending" which puts me to sleep each night. I love the “repeat” feature,it keeps playing “The Lark Ascending through the night. If this broke down I would immediatedly buy a replacement, I do not want to live without a smart speaker.

I bought this 4th gen echo with built in hub for myself for my room previously buying the 3rd gen for granddaughters room and dot for kitchen. I love the round look of this new one and looks great with my decor. some reviews said huge but I don’t think so and have no problems when speaking to, saying because I saw in other reviews that alexa wouldn’t respond and had to keep repeating. I can whisper and responds every time. Comparing the two tho I don’t see alot of difference in sound, maybe a little more bass but both are very good, crisp clear sound. Very satisfied and recommend. Now have one in almost every room and can connect to hear music all over house or talk to someone in another room if I don’t want to yell. Nice.

Exceptional sound coming from such a small speaker. Amazed it connected to our ring doorbell. Now we can have it announce that someone is at the door. Very easy to pair to all our devices. IOS, Windows, Intel, etc. The only thing you need to be aware of is you have to download load an app to set it up. Use the Amazon Echo app. The other apps are not free, even if they say they are. We learned the hard way and had multiple unauthorized charges on our card. The app that Amazon provides is free and doesn’t ask for any credit or debit card information. So if you download load an app that asks for your credit or debit card, DELETE it. I would rather this product very good to excellent.

The sound quality is phenomenal! I like the Echo because it has a built-in smart home hub so I can connect my smart devices to the nearest Echo. We now have 2 Echos, 1 Studio and a Samsung SmartThings hub all handling each of about 30+ smart devices. Get it when it's on sale and it's a great value, even if you just use it as a speaker.

Pros: 1) very good sound; 2) Easy setup; 3) the only reason I bought this was using it as my Ring lights' hub. 4) Beautiful color Cons: A little expensive
