Customer Ratings & Reviews

As an Alexa digital assistant, it works great. As a smart speaker, I would say it's average at best. Music quality is good, provided you are using a premium music service, like Tidal, Deezer, or Amazon Music Unlimited. It plays "lossless audio" encoded with Dolby Atmos, Spatial R360, Ultra HD using FLAC codec. Sound controls, on the other hand, are a nightmare. Unless you want to get up to use the physical volume buttons, you will need to use the Alexa app for volume and sound controls, which are buried deep under device settings. Important: if using an Android phone, you will NOT get lossless audio if you cast directly from the Amazon Music app. You must either connect via Bluetooth 5.0, or stream directly using voice commands. I don't use it to watch TV, but I can't imagine it would be as good as a similarly priced soundbar or true 7.1 A/V system.

This is my second echo studio and I'm using them as TV speakers in my bedroom. For movie watching they're just fine but I'm not a blockbuster type so not too worried about sound effects etc. The whole pairing system with Amazon's universe is far from perfect and requires unpairing and repairing every few days... That's really my only complaint otherwise they're fine.

Great speaker system and as a bonus it has Alexa. Sounds awesome for playing music ad fills the room with sound. Big improvement over the other Echo speakers though they are not terrible!

Wow, amazing sound clarity & quality. No distortions at high or low volumes. I’m planning on buying another for outdoor music. It’s a bit on the heavy side but you won’t care with the excellent quality you’re getting!

Impressive little speaker. Once you setup then you can go into App to adjust bass, etc. Very impressed with the sound quality at this price. I would put this up against speakers that cost twice as much. Definitely a great value.

Cant get any better anywhere sound is perfect bass to if I can give it a 20 I would

I enjoy listening to my device day in and day out. It is crystal clear unlike no other device I have ever used

It's a high quality speaker and one of the cheapest ways to get Dolby Atmos if you have a Fire Cube or Fire Stick 4K. The sound is great and if you pair two of them with the Echo Sub you will have an immersive home theater experience.

Sound quality is good. Consistent problem when used to provide sound for tv through Hulu. Volume level changes considerably when coming into or out of commercials. I have to constantly adjust volume

Great product. Has great sound quality and I love the look of it

Amazing sound quality. The absolute best speaker on the market. I love that it can link with other Alexa devices for a surround sound effect.

Great sound quality around house. We also have small echo and it is good for one room but not an entire floor of our house. Great for parties!

This is the best sound overall Echo Speaker that Amazon sells. Have two as a stereo set and does not disappoint for it's size and performance. Getting them onsale is a no brainer as it is a tough speaker to beat at that price point.

Beauty in simplicity clarity to perfection in your ears

I like it a lot. It is fun. I can’t believe I waited so long and suffered with the regular smart speaker. I just used it for something to talk to. But now I have 3D sound and it’s like I having a live conversation.

Love my Echo Studio. So easy to have it play a playlist from spotify or play a particular album. I have it connected with my iMac and can either make the selection from my spotify app or directly by speaking to Alexa.

Very dynamic sound from a $200 Alexa. The music fills the room well.

Love this speaker. I use it in my living room for music and connected it to my Fire TV for streaming. Absolute must for audiophiles

This device has great sound quality, and Alexa! Talk about a really awesome combination of sound and functionality.

Excellent addition to my Amazon Echo Studios, and being on sale just made it an even better buy!
