    I had previous 1st gen Echo Dots, and the speaker on this one is much better for music. It picks up bass tones better and overall seems to be better quality. The Alexa voice seems a little muffled at a very low volume, but otherwise, there are no complaints.

    Sound is not bad for the size but I do like that Alexa understands with no issues and provides good answer. I think Alexa is by far the best voice activated helper

    This is definitely a great improvement over the gen 1 Echo Dot. While the bass notes are still limited due to the size of the speaker, the sound overall is quite decent for it's size. It also looks a lot nicer, too. So far, I haven't had any issues installing or using this device. It seems pretty reliable so far. I'm currently using this mostly to control my Philips Hue smart bulbs in my bedroom.

    This is my go to for quick questions, weather, time, or to simply play my fave music at the drop of a dime. There’s not much to can’t ask Alexa, she’s the best by far.

    Now that I have both, I now wish that I had gotten the larger one, to really make an equal comparison. Alexia is pretty good and connects to my door bell without a problem.

    The Echo dot is a great smart speaker. I purchased it basically for the lights on, lights off feature. However, it has lots of other exciting features.

    Surprisingly crisp sound for such a little speaker. Plays music in a living room sized spaced pretty well. Alexa is a little annoying though or maybe I’m not utilizing her correctly but whenever I tell her to play a song she usually plays the wrong song so I just opt for manual Bluetooth from my phone.

    The Amazon Alexa Dot is awesome, it has a great sound for such a small speaker, I find that Alexa is superior to Siri because Alexa knows almost everything. Love the Amazon Alexa's.

    I'm not sure at this point if Amazon, Google, or Apple has the best overall ecosystem, but the gen3 Dot is a solid choice if you're in the ecosystem
