    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.

    I think this is the best echo dot just yet. The sound quality, the size, the sleekness. I like that it matches the overall aesthetic of our home. Overall, it really is the perfect one.

    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 love the sound quality on the ECHO 4th generation. The mic is also great. I could be on the other side of the house ( on the same floor) and the echo still hears me.

    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.

    Good Sound For The Size

    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.

    Excellent to add in to an Alexa ecosystem. I was amazed with the sound it packed. Nice bass and adjustable EQ through Alexa app. Really cool speaker with temperature sensor.

    I had to buy a new Amazon Echo because ihad the 1st Gen tower and it was starting to act up. I love that this one is smaller but the sound is not as good as my oriignal one. However, i thnk that may be due to the price point i selected. Overall it works great and I can still listen to music and enjoy it.

    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.

    I bought this for my Gas Station and it has been a wonderful addition to the team. It’s great for playing music with the wonderful sound quality and bass it provides, wonderful at helping my employees stay on a cleaning schedule with daily reminders I can set through the Alexa app and last but not least, at any moment I can drop in on the store using the Alexa app, I can speak and listen to the cashiers at any time.
