I have to preface by saying that I got these on sale for $17 each. They are well worth $17 each! I wouldn't pay more thatn $30 each.
I use these on my patio. Got 2 of them. Bought cheap(ish) rear speaker mounts and stuck the speakers to the mounts. They sound great on the patio. For $34 total, they're great speakers and so far have held up to the elements for a pretty rainy summer here...

I really liked that compared to generation one of the DOT, it has a much better sound with good bass and a design that I like, even though its sound is very linear and is mostly heard from the front

Great for our movie theatre room. Blends in with the black wall. The only issue is they send you a white cord for a black unit. So even if you get the black wall mount, you still get a white chord.

In fairness I have to say that I received this 1st gen Echo Dot as part of a Best Buy TV purchase - I did NOT purchase the Dot outright - basically it was a free thing to me. Having said that I thought I might use it via Bluetooth as an external speaker for the TV. I really don't have a use for the Alexa voice control function thats offered with the Dot. Plan on having to download and install the Alexa app to "install" this Dot to your TV. That seems to be necessary even if all you want is the Bluetooth speaker function. The sound quality is OK - not super but certainly better than the stock speaker setup on the small flatscreen FireTV I just purchased. The small downward facing speakers in the TV function but the sound quality isn't the best (especially if you are older like me and are having some hearing issues). This Dot improved the sound some..... Are there better Bluetooth speaker solutions -- ABSOLUTELY!!! But, as noted in the first part of this review the Dot was basically FREE to me and who doesn't like free.
