Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent sound quality BUT the directions are way too minimal...which is not Best Buys fault, it's Amazon or whoever makes the "Echo Studio"...it's their fault. When BF & I tried to set up & connect speaker to Spotify & our computer (so we could turn on Spotify & hear music out of the Echo Studio)...we were on our own. So then it became about trial and error. An hour later, after getting speaker connected to the computer, telling "Alexa" fifty times to play music, inadvertently connecting our Echo Dot to the Studio, and finally realizing that I had to push the button called "skills"...once I went in there I realized that they had a huge list of popular Apps so I did a search for Spotify found it and hit the button. Once that happened. Echo Studio was linked to Spotify and now we were finally able to play the music out of the computer and hear it out of our beautiful new Echo Studio Speaker!!

This Echo Studio exceeded our expectations regarding sound quality over the previous echo tower model.

This product has changed everyday life in our home, Takes music to another level!

Straight and to the point- whether you have an Apple TV, watch , Mac book, iPad, iPhone or all of them, the Apple hub gen 2 will either be next level or a major piece to the Apple ecosystem. This hub isn’t and shouldn’t be compared to other smart speakers, as this isn’t an apples to oranges review. This is apple to apple and If you’re in the ecosystem, it’s a must have. Great sound, cool features, small but mighty, and looks fantastic.

If you want great quality sound for music then this is a great choice but if you’re looking to replace your sound bar on your tv then you’ll be disappointed. Normal Alexa activities are awesome and sounds great! Bass is huge and highs are clear. Definitely fun for casually listening on the weekends. If you connect it to your tv it will work via Bluetooth but sounds like an average speaker. Very low quality sound even when you turn up the volume. If you connect via mini optical cable then the sound is just as big and amazing but it will randomly cut off. The echo will become unresponsive and overall becomes an endless cycle of restart/reset with no fix in sight. In short amazing speaker for music and Alexa actions but very buggy if you’re connecting it to a TV.

Purchased this for my wife for Christmas, She never ask for anything but this year she said she wanted an Echo, the sales clerk said this one had the best sound so I went for it! She absolutely loves it and it does have great sound! A little scarey feature, one night my wife said "Goodnight Alexa" and every night at 9:15 Alex says "its time for bed !" Would recommend to anyone who likes to listen to music!

Sounds fantastic, currently using it as a replacment of my receiver as i was for a new one. Works great paired to my LG CX

Great sound… I really enjoy my purchase. 100% recommended

Great sound for outside by the pool. I can take it everywhere, even on my boat.

Beautiful Sound. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank You!

This Echo has the best sound yet! I love it! I want another so that I can combine the 2 with my Echo Sub and have the best stereo around!

I bought my Wife an Echo Studio and I loved it so much I bought myself one. The sound is fantastic for both music and especially movies. I also bought the subwoofer during the pandemic and my family didn't miss going to the theater. The only negative is that the setup can be a little bit of a pain. The app isn't 100% intuitive, but in about 15 minutes I figured it out. I've had it for about a year now and an app update forced me to do the setup twice more. No big deal. They are loud and clear. I was leery of having an Alexa device sitting around and listening, but now it is part of the family. My kids love to tell it to play fancy dinner music. They play games on it as well. Overall I'm extremely satisfied by this purchase and the other 2 as well.

They sound great for the price, Have it set up with another Echo Studio and an Echo Sub.

I actually bought this as a gift for my best friend but only after I tested one myself. The use case is to connect to a 4K firestick plugged into a 4K television in order to hear Dolby Atmos or HD sound playing from the Echo Studio. Just like in the demo videos, once you set it up and watch the promo video, you hear everything. Searching and playing Dolby Atmos 4K movies yields just a few freebies but sounded really nice. So a good substitute for a sound bar which does 5.1 better but I did not want to spring for a sound bar if the Echo Studio could do double duty as a home theater sound device and as an audio device. I can't play it higher than level 6 or my neighbors will complain. It is loud, clear, and fun at high volumes. So a perfect gift for my friend to play with and enjoy.

Had problem with adjusting and balancing other speakers in great room with cathedral ceilings. Speakers are great. Set up via app difficult. After calling amazon help on phone around 2 hours no resolution. Tech person clueless. Got geek squad out and they set up system.

Operating this utterly "stupid" speaker is maddening. I have two of them set in a stereo-mode. I think my 4 stars is a high mark, and these speakers are way better Apple's HomePod tooters whose base too overwhelming. It seems that all such little speakers, due to physical limitations, exaggerate the base to the point that it's everything you hear. These give you an option to adjust the sound and scale down the frequencies that are too much. So, they sound fine, and when in the stereo-mode and at low volume, they are capable of producing sound bearable for an hour or so. What earns them 4 stars is (1) Alexa; (2) the fact that music is constantly interrupted; (3) the volume can abruptly go too loud (at which point Alexa no longer hears you); (4) and the fact that it can just stop playing the music when it pleases. These 4 points may well be software-related to be addressed later to make the speaker more reliable, but I didn't pay for them to work in the future. To reiterate, the sound is tolerable for casual listening, but don't dream of high-fidelity listening of any sort. These are still my favorite speakers and, together with Amazon's HD music streaming service, this makes them a solution way better than what competitors offer.

I love this thing! Such good sound for our bigger living room/kitchen area!

I bought the Echo Studio because I hoped it would have a little better sound than my other Echo and Echo dots, but I had NO idea just how great this little beast would sound. Quite frankly, it blew the doors off my expectations! I still marvel at what great sound this device has. You can adjust the sound contours through the Alexa app and tailor the sound to your particular listening environment. If you have limited space that you want to fill with BIG sound, this is one device I would definitely consider.

We already had an Echo Dot in the kitchen so I already knew I was down with Alexa. My Google Home mini wasn't cutting it in the garage, though, so I upgraded to the Echo Studio. It sounds fantastic and the bass is quite nice. Alexa still hears commands despite the acoustics of the garage and the power of the Studio's speakers. Setup was easy and it was up and running within a couple minutes after plugging in. My only complaint is that Amazon doesn't understand colors, judging from how it sets my Hue lights - but that's more a general complaint about the entire Echo line rather than this specific model. If you don't have external speakers to connect an Echo Dot, etc. to and want bassy music that can readily fill the room (along with the smart speaker abilities), the Studio is worth it.

A tremendous upgrade over my Echo Plus! Much larger than the Echo Plus so it really can't be hidden from view as easily but it is attractive. Like the Echo Plus it functions as a hub and readily managed my previous Echo devices. I was disappointed that it would not pair with my Echo Plus (for a stereo experience) without creating groups. This will be my third purchase of this device as I'm upgrading from my former Echo devices which still work beautifully. I'm glad I chose this over buying the Subwoofer option. Very rich sound. I cannot comment on the Dolby Atmos or HD Music experience because I will not be pursuing those features. Purchased two from Best Buy and a 3rd from that "other" place all around the Black Friday time frame. So prices were $50 less than normal.
