   4.0 de 5 estrellas MAY HAVE TO CHANGE INTERNET SETTINGS!
   I bought 2 echo studios and the subwoofer for the home theater feel. It took me ALOT OF TIME on the phone with customer service not only with Amazon but also with my internet provider to get it to work properly. If you are having constant disconnections from your home theater set up than I hope my review came saves you the 5 hours it took me on the phone.First, the sound is GREAT! Not as loud as ide like. I wish I could get loud enough to feel like you’re in a club but quality of sound is competitive with that of BOSE. The Subwoofer is a MUST. Makes a great difference!Changing Internet Settings:1. To get these to stay connected with each other through the home studio set up you may have to make changes to your internet settings.2. I have AT&T internet and they happen to have me on what’s called a “Mesh Network”. A mesh network combines your 2.4G radio frequencies and your 5.0G frequencies with each other on one network name. If you have this too, than some of your speakers make pick up the 2.4G signal when another one may be on the 5.0G which will disconnect them from each other everyday and even cause a lot of lag.3. To fix a mesh network, call your internet provider and have them separate your networks. One being 5.0G and the other being 2.4G. Now when you search your networks, you won’t just see one; you will see two to choose from.4. I chose my speakers to all be on the 5.0G network as the 2.4G was too slow for them and they lagged. Your fire stick also must be connected to the same network as the speakers and 5.0 will allow for faster streaming as well.5. AT&T also said that having the passwords different from the two networks can cause lag. I don’t know why this was the case but we ended up having to make my passwords the same for both networks. Also, AT&T did not charge me for any of this as this was all done over the phone.6. The following is a message from Amazon customer support with some other settings I had changed or checked on:A. We require that the customer have TCP ports 55442, 55443 open to traffic on their Local Area Network (LAN). They do not need to be opened to the general internet.B. We also require UDP port 55444 to be open on the Local Area Network. This also does not need to be exposed to the general internet.C. We also require that devices in a cluster be on the same subnet and that they can communicate with each other. On some routers, this requires the devices to be on the same WiFi network (2.4Ghz vs. 5Ghz) since the two wifi networks are firewalled from each other.

   4.0 de 5 estrellas Unimpressive with one Echo Studio, better with two.
   OK, I caved for Christmas. I have one Echo Studio (which I like), and I have been thinking for a while about the 2 Studio’s and a Sub setup. I rely a LOT on my Amazon Music Unlimited subscription for music around the house, so it seemed like a good fit. OK, so I ordered the Sub and an additional Studio for a Christmas present to myself. So far, not too swack about this $330 decision. Amazon could send me the Sub, but not the additional Studio in time for Christmas. So I hooked up the sub to my single Studio, and…..meh. I struggled through the whole “how do I get this damned thing working” malaise, and finally got it to talk. Expecting to be blown away by the addition of a great, pronounced bass track. Not so much. Yes, the Sub is bumping out the bass track, but there isn’t a way to control the volume of the Sub INDEPENTENTLY from the Studio. So if I am sitting near the Studio, I really can’t hear the Sub at all. And there is no way to crank it up. Too bad, Amazon, this is a BIG MISS on your part. I have 2 part hopes. 1) Amazon upgrades Alexa to allow independent control of the Sub, and 2) Maybe when the 2nd Studio arrives, the Sub will prove it’s worth as the bass underpinning of a 3 part stereo system. These 2 hopes are a pretty big stretch, considering what I have been able to glean by combing though the reviews of a setup like this. Bottom line, I am a big fan of the whole Amazon music world, but the $120 Sub looks turkeyish, and odds are it’s going back. Too bad, I really wanted to like this product.Update 1/4/2021: With 2 Studio speakers, the system is much more respectable, I think. Maybe I am just too lazy to send things back. But with 2 Studio speakers and the subwoofer, this system becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Especially when you crank it up. Great stereo separation. Evaluating separation and bass performance depends heavily on what track you are listening to, and where you set Alexa’s rudimentary “High/Medium/Low” equalizer. There is no balance control for these 3 speakers, but I am surprised at how well that aspect is handled without user input. One problem in evaluating the worth of the subwoofer: If you unplug it (to listen for the difference) it doesn’t automatically reconnect to Wi-Fi. So you have to spend a half hour mashing buttons in Alexa getting it to talk again. Anyway, at higher than 50% volume, I can hear that it is adding to the experience. So it stays for now. and I’ll up the stars from 2 to 4. Hopefully Alexa will update at some point with better independent controls??

   5.0 de 5 estrellas A worthy addition to Studio Alexa
   The subwoofer definitely makes a difference in the sound of the Alexa ‘Studio’ device. It delivers a solid but not overwhelming bass and makes the TOTAL effect so… much… better. My advice is to buy them at the same time, if you can. Setup was simple and barely required any written directions. A solid “YES” to the subwoofer!

   4.0 de 5 estrellas Adds a little lower end, keep expectations in control
   I didn’t have any issues linking this to my echo studio. Only problem is the EQ settings on the app not appearing to where I set them until I use the wake word. Then if I close the app I’m not sure if the EQ settings stay where I set them. Kind of odd.Disappointed that this only works with amazon related tech, but I knew that going in. Also doesn’t work with Bluetooth music sent from the phone.It’s not high end audio quality like, but at the price it’s a nice little low end bass filler for echo speakers. I have not used it with fire tv.I’ve had no issues using it in a group. I have it in my everywhere group, it has to be paired to only one speaker. Mines paired to the studio I have. I cannot pair it to the other speaker I have in the living room (echo gen 3) to create true stereo. Apparently your two speakers to do this must be the same (dot 3, studio, or echo gen 3, maybe also echo gen 2?).I like the “everywhere” feature that the echo speakers offer as I have a kitchen and bathroom dot 3, bedroom dot with clock, echo gen and studio in the living room with this unit.The sub isn’t overpowering, and the lack of being able to use it as anything but echo or fire related makes me drop the rating a bit. Also, the lack of Bluetooth capabilities.It’s a fine little unit for the price. Although a little muddy sounding, it nicely fills the physical audio gap that was there between the echo studio and the echo gen 3 in front of me in my living room.If I didn’t have a simple bose sound bar already hooked to my tv, I wouldn’t recommend it for your home theatre experience as I believe there has to be better and cheaper options in sound bars with subwoofers. I could not see dropping over $500 on this with two echo studios because of its limitations.As far as adding it to your already existing echo or echoes, or using it with fire tv, I see it as a reasonably priced addition that adds substance to your setup. But again, it’s not thunder booming subwoofer like. It’s just a little extra something.As far as those reviews that are negative about bass lacking, have you opened the app and checked if the unit hasn’t set back to the original middle of the scale setting? This might explain your lack of bass.And it’s bass, by the way…..not base, you that call yourself an audiophile ( oh yeah, that’s a useless term also, the average person can tell the difference in the quality of the sound of things).Buy it, try it, but you know it’s limitations. So don’t gripe about it if it’s doing what it’s sold to do.Enjoy!!

   4.0 de 5 estrellas It comes setup and ready to go.
   The speaker adds the perfect amount of bass, not too much and not too soft so that you can hardly hear it. It’s compact, sounds great and it comes preprogrammed with the main hub station. All around after considering higher quality more expensive systems I finally settled with this system and I couldnt be more pleased and in fact a few people I know are in the process of Switching and using their other system elsewhere or selling it all together. So if you see a system that is fairly new for sale it’s probably because they too decided to make the switch. B

   5.0 de 5 estrellas Terrific Performance
   Amazon Echo Sub-WooferWhere do I start? At this point I am here to say this is a GREAT product, well worth the money.Five Stars for sure.But I digress…I started out with an Amazon Echo, first generation, paid nearly $100 for it, but was quite pleased with its performance. I was very pleased with the sound output of that small device. I liked it so much I bought another for another room. Being an Amazon Prime member, I started listening to music from Amazon. Again, pleased – and I decided to add the unlimited subscription to Amazon Music.I have a traditional stereo system – two speakers, an amplifier, and a CD player. I got to thinking I would like to feed the Amazon music into the stereo and researched the subject on the internet. Turned out to be stupidly simple. I bought a third generation Dot, now less than $50, and a simple adapter cable. The cable plugged into the output jack of the Dot and into the right and left stereo inputs on my amplifier. I had to do a little volume adjustments of the Dot and of the stereo amp to get the levels right – but that was a five minute exercise, and suddenly I had beautiful music in full stereo.But in researching the stereo bit, I discovered something else interesting on the internet – that it was simple to set up two identical Echo units to give full stereo. Well, I have two identical first generation Echos. So I tried it, setting up in a different room. A note here – it is unlikely that most of us could ever set a stereo pair up without some very simple instruction from the internet. You have to use the Amazon app on a smart phone. But with that instruction it is a very simple exercise. I did it. And it sounded great.And that’s also about when I discover the existence of the Amazon Echo Sub-Woofer. OK. I admit at first I was skeptical. How could a six inch diameter speaker generate significant base? But then how could a tiny Amazon Echo Dot sound so terrific? But they do.The gold standard for bass performance for many is the piece, “Thus Spake Zarathustra” by Richard Strauss. To quote Wikipedia, “The piece starts with a sustained double low C on the double basses, contrabassoon and church organ.” This corresponds to a tone of some duration at a frequency of 32 hertz. Only higher end classic stereo systems will deliver this tone. In most, it plays as a low level buzz that would be obnoxious were it any louder.So OK. I pulled up the specs on the unit. Hmm. Goes to 30 hertz at minus 6 db. You know, that ain’t bad! And you could goose up the low end a bit with the equalizer in the Amazon app. The built in 100 watt amplifier and cross over network built into the sub-woofer help a lot. Hmm. OK, I went ahead and ordered it. And immediately discovered that at the time there was a 4 week wait for delivery.The unit did show up as promised, and I was anxious to get it going. A comment here: normally I am rather contemptuous of “unpacking” videos on the internet. But, the packing and packaging of this unit is a performance art master class on how it should be done. I will say no more on that subject except that I was hugely impressed.Setting it up was mostly easy – but NOT as easy as the Amazon site suggests. The main issue is that if you integrating it into an existing stereo pair of Echo units, as I was, first you have to unpair the existing units, then rebuild with the addition of the sub-woofer. Very simple to do on the app – but NOT intuitive. Again, the internet is your friend. I easily found simple instructions and proceeded – and five minutes later had everything networked and playing.It sounded OK, but honestly not all that terrific. Certainly not what I was expecting. Playing “Thus Spake Zarathustra” was, frankly, disappointing. But, I have had experience with base woofers before, and had a suspicion it wold improve. It seems such speakers need to be used a bit to loosen up to reach their desired performance levels.I am very happy to report that this proved to be exactly the case. After a few hours, the speaker was clearly doing better. A few days and it was sounding great. And today, I was sitting in my chair listening to Hans Zimmer’s sound track for “The Dark Knight”, a piece I had played several times before. But this time, it seemed like the whole room was shaking from an outstanding base source. I was astounded – and hugely delighted! I am truly pleased.A closing note – truly serious audiophiles are guaranteed to turn up their noses at this system. I am talking about the people that only use virgin vinyl records for a music source, heavy oxygen free copper cables to the tube amplifier with heavy iron transformers, huge engineered bass reflex speakers or the like etc. etc. Good for them – and perfection has its price. But for us lesser mortals who love music, the Amazon system offers a quality system offering a lot of pleasure at a modest price.

   5.0 de 5 estrellas Provides Significant Bass Improvement
   The bass performance of any echo speaker is clearly enhanced with the addition of this sub. When added to paired echo studios, the result is a high fidelity system.. For some mysterious reasons, the studio pair’s spatial sound stage also improves. Compared to a higher-end separate component hi fi setup, I would rate this at 8.5. Compared to a really high-end system, I would give it 7.0 since it lacks the definition and tight bass. For enjoyable listening, the $500 is money wellspent.. TIP: Since there is no provided means to balance the volume on a studio pair, try turning one of the studios away from the listener.. This reduces the sound from the front and side-facing interior speakers.

   4.0 de 5 estrellas Could be 5 Stars once app experience is improved, would buy again.
   Context Disclosure: I began writing and completed this review in real time during my setup experience of my Echo Sub.Received the Echo sub after some issues with the carrier since Amazon ships it only signature required in my area, took an extra day for me to make arrangements to pickup the item elsewhere.Upon unboxing the Echo sub the first thing I noticed is its fabric doesn’t match the Charcoal echo design or any other currently available Echo fabric. I don’t mind this much but it would have been nice if they matched. The Echo sub has this large sticker over the power connection that says to NOT configure it until I have configured my other Echo devices first.I purchased this Echo sub with a pair of brand-new Echo devices as part of an Amazon Bundle. I unboxed my Echo devices and began setting them up. After completing the setup process and naming my 2 new echo devices (I have more than 10 echo devices in my home, it’s becoming a little confusing when keeping track of the new ones) I proceeded to setup the Echo Sub.I had already noticed in adding devices to my updated Amazon Alexa app that there is a new Echo sub option, so I proceeded through that setup process. The setup process makes you watch a video on your device that helps you understand the capability and recommended placement of your new Echo Sub. I really didn’t need to watch this video for the information it provided so it would have been nice to skip this.After the Video was completed I proceeded through the steps of connecting it to my home wireless network and setting up a speaker pair / group. I got to the screen where I could clearly see my new Echo devices that I had previously labeled “One” and “Two” and to my surprise they were unable to be added to the speaker pair / group. The reason for this is both devices indicated they needed an update and I should check back in “~2 Hours”.Knowing you can force Echo devices to update faster by muting them I placed both on mute and began typing this review. I’m pleased to report that by the time I got to this paragraph that both devices had completed the update and have rebooted themselves… One moment while I continue through the setup… (you can imagine, as I did, that I thought I was going to come back 15 minutes or so later after playing with the devices before reading the following paragraphs and my summary)I still had the app open on my screen before the updates took place. Post the echos completing their self update, the devices still said they needed to be updated in the app. I couldn’t select them, and my only option was to add other devices to the group or cancel. I chose the cancel button which took me back to the previous setup screen and I again was able to select “Continue” to setup a group. After the page refreshed, I could now select my “One” and “Two” Echo devices.I selected my One Device and immediately all other devices went into “Connectivity Error/Not Compatible” on the app. If I unselect “One” all devices go back to available. If I select “Two” all devices co back into “Connectivity Error/Not Compatible”.As I was unable to select 2 devices to pair together with my Sub. I again could not continue with the setup process. I again chose to “Cancel” the creation and go back to the previous screen. I repeated the same steps above and this time both devices showed “Online”, and I was able to add them to the group/pair and continue. I received a message requesting I select which channel Left or Right for “Two”. I selected Right and both One and Two devices began to flash white while the app indicating it was connecting to the speakers…. (waiting while I’m still typing this for this step to complete)…well I think the step completed, not sure as the app went back to an “Add Group” Screen with no indication of a success or failure of the task. I scrolled down on the app and found a new group called “Stereo Pair” that has been created. I selected the “Stereo Pair” and was show the option to unpair them… not doing that. One moment while I jack with this app and figure out if its working or not… (insert Jeopardy music)Well I can’t rename Stereo Pair on the app, let’s see if I can do it from the Web Interface https://alexa.amazon.com … nope group doesn’t exist there yet or at all, maybe it takes some time. Let’s see if the pair even works. Yup it plays music on the speaker pair but WITHOUT the sub in the group… Wasn’t I setting up an Echo Sub when I started this?I proceed back to the app and attempt to add a group and I’m greeted with the message that I must unpair existing speakers before adding them to a pair. So, I proceed to unpair the Stereo Pair group I just created. (wish it would let me give this a name other than “Stereo Pair”)Recreating the Speaker Group, I realized I found my error. I must select One, Two, and the Sub to pair the 3 devices together…. Funny because I was setting up the Echo Sub when this pairing screen was presented, you would think they would have included the sub automatically.To locate the Echo Sub in my case, I had scroll down on the pairing screen to find the Sub at the bottom. I suspect I wouldn’t have made this error if I didn’t have a ton of Echo devices already. Attempt to add all 3 to the group “Failed to Initiate playback on Stereo Pair” Error message yet it still created a new group called “Stereo Sub Pair” (these group names are awful).Success? I tried playing some music to the “Stereo Sub Pair” group and it’s working!First impressions are it’s significantly better sounding than I thought it would be for such a small setup. Upped the Volume, Upped the Bass, now it sounds perfect for my listening enjoyment. Now to go set the devices where I plan on using them and try it out.Lastly, I tried to see if could rename the “Stereo Sub Pair” Group name to something else by the time I completed reviewing my notes from this review and unfortunately, I can report you can’t change the group name yet. However, once the speakers are paired you don’t need to say the group name to get them to play together like you do with multi-room music.Summary: I am pleasantly surprised with the Echo Sub and despite the issues above from being an early adopter of the device, I would buy it again. Sound is great and just what I needed for my “Bass-lacking” audio space.Overall, I give this experience 4 stars only because of the issues I encountered that I’m sure will be resolved in time combined with the fact the sub doesn’t match the echo devices themselves. The Sub audio itself, I give 5 stars.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Very happy with my Echo “system”
    I recently reviewed a new pair of Echo Dot 5thGs that I had set up as a stereo pair in the family room. As I expected, the sound clarity was excellent but not “deep” enough.Ordered this Echo Sub unit and set it up yesterday. Pairing with the existing set up was reasonably easy using the Alexa app. (Amazon should include guidance about the delay that typically occurs during this process. It took about 20 minutes for all to be recognized.)All-in-all, adding the Sub is a terrific upgrade. I wasn’t counting on concert hall hi-fidelity, but I expected (and got) great clarity across a full range of frequencies. All for total system investment of about $175 during Prime Days.So far I tested the setup by listening to the Sirius XM JamOn channel (great presence), and some James Taylor and Joni Mitchell selections on Amazon music. Wanting a little more bass, I hunted in the app and found the simple slider controls for bass, midrange, treble. Voila!This tone-control panel was hard to locate and I was hoping for more of a graphic equalizer – maybe 5-7 sliders. Even better would be an interactive tool that adjusts the Echo system to the room where it is installed. This is an opportunity for you Amazon/Alexa folks.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Surprisingly good, for it’s size and price
    It’s not even close to our $500 SRS ported 10″ sub, but it’s not even in the same echelon, to be honest, so it’s not worth comparing. I do have an Energy ported 8″ sub that I purchased about a decade ago, that it can be compared to. To ensure the Energy sub doesn’t sound terrible, I have to set the Energy sub’s cross-over to the minimum setting (there is no LFE for this sub, only component-level inputs). The Echo Sub, by comparison, seems to be set very well, mostly pumping out very low frequencies.From the Echo Sub I was honestly only expecting a modest upgrade; I was expecting to want to return it right away, actually. That’s not the case. Even in the same room where we have our 10″ SRS sub, it emits clear, accurate low-frequencies that fill both the room it’s in and the adjacent dining room and kitchen (open floor plan). Our family-room group consists of our family room sound-bar (hooked up to a 2nd-gen Echo Dot, as well as SRS 10″ sub and Energy 8″ sub), kitchen Echo (which is actually situated right at the border of the family-room/dining-room, on the family-room side of the partition. I was expecting so many different devices to compete and not sound harmonious (at best) or cancel each other out (at worst). The subs had to be phased to prevent cancellation, but the rest of the speakers, playing together, allow for a very nice room-to-room experience!We listen to classical music during dinner and hear it in the dining from from all angles, which has a very nice affect. While cleaning, I don’t have to turn up the family Echo Dot-to-sound-bar (and sound-bar/subs), because the other Echos (and Echo Sub) compliment the family-room speakers nicely, allowing for (again…) room-to-room transit with relatively consistent sound. The benefit to this: turning up the family room set (Echo Dot-to-sound-bar and Subs) causes some low-frequency reverberation in the kitchen and other areas of the house (e.g., the bathroom). With it at a lower volume and the Echo Sub providing the low-frequency response for the kitchen and dining room area, things sound much better.If we’re solely hanging out in the dining room or kitchen area, I don’t even feel the need to turn on the family room Echo Dot (and etc.). The output from the Echo and Echo Plus in the area, supplemented by the Echo Sub, sounds great.If you’re expecting this to sound like a $500 sub, you’re delusional. If you’re looking to add a very nice upgrade to the low-frequency output of your Echos or Echo Plus’ easily, then this is your sub.Installation: I’ve got very low patience and expect things (especially from Amazon) to be top-notch, and found myself only MILDLY frustrated setting this thing up – the Echo Sub took maybe four times longer than any other Echo (we have 7 total) to setup, but it really isn’t that bad. The setup of this will DEFINITELY be revised to help out those who frustrate easily or who aren’t savvy enough to figure things out on their own, but most people who have even a rudimentary set of tech skills shouldn’t have a problem.Setup:1. Mine did not go into pairing mode right away. I had to press and hold the single button on the Echo Sub for MORE THAN the instructed SIX (6) seconds for the dot to turn orange.Note: You can’t SEE the color of the LED, because it’s in the center of the button and obstructed by the finger you’re pressing it with…while pressing. Kinda dumb …2. Once the sub was in pairing mode (orange light on the sub lit), things went swimmingly, using the app.This is the ONLY part that I had an issue with, since the included instructions were OVERLY simplistic and didn’t cover it. If anyone wants a more detailed how-to, just comment below and, if someone hasn’t already provided one online, I’ll do so.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas They do not stay connected to your internet
    After spending nearly what seemed like an entire day on the phone with Amazon and them telling me to reset it and restart it and check my router, and everything else in my house was working just fine, we decided they would send me a new one. I got the new one ASAP with the same issue, it will connect to your internet and then goes back to an Amazon stored internet. It will not stay connected, so once again I’m sending it back. I am frustrated and I cannot understand how something like this could happen but apparently when I was talking to Amazon customer service they told me there was an update available for it, but there is no way to update it, the only thing it has is a button that can reset it so I don’t know what the problem is but the connectivity issues need to be addressed and obviously haven’t been.Update: After Amazon sent me a new one and I had the same problem getting it to connect a little time on the phone with a tech support person and she was able to solve my problem. I really appreciate how kind and knowledgeable she was.So as far as it goes, once you have this hooked up the sound is wonderful. I have even ordered another echo studio for the full surround sound affect.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Incredible Improvement to the Listening Experience within the Echo-Sphere
    I ordered the sub during the promo, bundled with two 2nd-gen Echos. Setting up the “trio” (can’t call it a speaker “group”, since that term has a very specific meaning in Echo-land), I had some difficulty during the initial setup, but realize in retrospect that I should have powered up the new Echos by themselves first, and let them perform the online software update. Once I did that, the second time I tried to create the 2.1 “trio”, the process went almost flawlessly.As others have said elsewhere, the instructions accompanying the unit are severely lacking — just shy of useless. If you’ve configured the full range of other Echo devices (we have over 30 just in our primary house), it’s fairly easy to navigate the new setup features for creating and pairing the three devices into the “trio”. Having had Echo devices since the very first early-order days nearly three years ago (I even have echo dots in all of my vehicles), the Alexa app and the configuration processes for new devices as they came to market have evolved dramatically. So in some way it’s understandable that the setup instructions — for any of the Echo devices — has to be somewhat vague, since the setup processes are also constantly evolving, and specific setup instructions in the box of the device you buy today may be totally irrelevant and even more frustrating should you try setting up the same device 6 or 12 months later.The sub creates such a vast improvement in the sound experience that it’s hard to describe it accurately. My biggest complaint is that the bass can be overpowering in some room environments. The room I chose to install the “trio’ in is a 14ft x 14ft room with uncovered, polished hardwood floors, and otherwise sparsely furnished. With certain types of music (I like loud, bassy music, like vocal trance and EDM), the bass can be so intense that it actually vibrates the windows, and overpowers the mids and highs coming from the individual Echos. To compensate, the only option is to use the equalizer for the “trio” and dial down the bass, but this also reduces the bass coming from the Echos themselves. I’d like to hear more bass from the Echos, but can’t because of having to dial down the low frequency equalizer slider in order to lower the drive to the sub, just to make the listening experience more balanced (and enjoyable). As a practicing audio and RF engineer, it seems to me that a very quick and easy fix to my specific problem (and I’m sure others) would be to have a configuration setting for the sub only that allows you to “dial in” a certain amount of attenuation to the bass drive. A simple set of selections in steps of 3 db (up or down, depending on your individual setting) would be a perfect quick fix for this In my case. The fact that the room is basically a flattened cube, it’s easy for the sub to deliver sounds that match the natural resonant frequency of the room. The better (long-term?) fix for this kind of problem would be to have a separate equalizer function for only the sub, to configure the response of only the frequencies the sub is designed to produce. A 3- or 5-band equalizer would essentially allow me “dial down” the band of frequencies that tend to resonate in the room. A fantastic fix to this type of problem.Having watched Amazon’s evolution of fixes and improvements to the individual Echo devices, as well as to the Echo-sphere overall, I have to believe that they’ll eventually be able to configure a 2.1 “trio” to participate in a system group as though it was a single device entity. Seems like it should be a a basic software upgrade issue. The same with the ability to support audio inputs other than just streaming services (as I see it, if you want to bluetooth a stereo signal to your Echo(s) from your phone or other device, Amazon would have to develop the ability to allow you to make a bluetooth connection to an Echo stereo pair first. Once that feature works, it might then be possible to add the sub to the stereo pair for the 2.1 config (still not sure if the sub has to grab the audio stream via WiFi first for the “trio” to actually function).Regarding the disappointment that so many people are expressing regarding the limited Bluetooth functionality, it seems that their expectations were misplaced. When I read the early product release announcement, it was clear to me that the Sub was specifically intended to work with only a subset of Amazon-specific Echo devices. But after re-reading the promotional info on Amazon’s web site regarding the Sub, there is definitely some ambiguity about it’s intended configuration limitations. I would strongly recommend to Amazon that they re-write the capabilities and features sections regarding the Sub so that there are NO ambiguities regarding exactly what the Sub is and is not intended to do or capable of, or how it is intended to operate.Lastly, I wish Amazon would introduce a “big sister” version of the Echo with more power, making them a better match to the capabilities of the Sub. It seems that the Sub is definitely in a power/performance class that is a notch above the capabilities of the current Echos.AS a final comment, I would have gladly given the Echo Sub 5 stars if the drive level to the Sub could be controlled independently from the equalizer profile for the Echos.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Loving it a lot more since they did the improvements
    Am updating my initial review to give the Sub a much better score. It fell off the network and I woke it up again. then I found that the Alexa app now includes the ability to adjust the volume for the Sub and it performs much better. I am pretty happy with the changes they made.I have Eco’s in every room of my house and all my lights are automated. In the kitchen I have a dot and a spot. In the great room we have two dots and a spot as an example. Currently I have 30+ switches functioning on my wireless network controlled via voice and Alexa. In fact, the freedom to design lighting solutions that do not require physical access has allowed me to create unique lighting solutions that have no physical switch.I received my Eco first generation before they were for sale to the public on Amazon and it is still in daily use.I know how the devices function and how to setup and operate them.I read the instructions for the Sub and fully implemented them. When I saw the warning label over the power port on the device, I was convinced that the setup needed to follow the proper sequence to function correctly.I executed the instructions for the auto setup on my wireless network. It completed but the sub did not function. The light changed state and all looked great however it would not pair. Since the device is passive – there is no obvious way to test its function via the app – I concluded that it had not connected properly to my network.I executed the same setup sequence two more times with the same results. I cycled the power for 30 seconds between attempts to ensure it was in the right state when I executed the setup.On the fourth setup attempt, during the setup the app told me that the automatic setup was not completing and I should follow the manual setup. Which I did. Twice. I depressed and held the command button till the orange light was illuminated, then I linked to the device directly via my iPhone wireless setup commands, it came right up and they connected. I executed the setup on the Alexa app, entered my password to the wireless network and it failed to give any indication that it was functioning and still would not pair.I attempted the manual setup again and it did say it was connected. I successfully paired it with my Eco plus. It said it was happy. I started Pandora on the paired Eco plus and no sound came out of the Sub.I tried a different song and this time sub did function however the volume was so low that I had to physically touch the sub to be certain that it was actually working. It was. I then turned up the volume on the Eco plus and the base was there but my first thought was its too low and I wanted to turn it up. I have not figured out how to adjust the bass volume yet but my first reaction was “why don’t they put a volume knob on the sub?” Its highly desirable to be able to manually adjust the bass for the tune or conditions and there is no knob. I have lived with the setup a couple of days and it does seem to be working. But:1) The base volume is so low when I have the Eco plus playing at the volume I want that I generally cant hear the sub.2) I wanted to pair it with my garage Eco Dot which is driving my stereo but this option is not available. It seems like a natural pairing. The Dot provides the highs and mid range and the sub does its low thing. Also, I drive two stereo systems in the house with Dots for streaming and they work great as the music source. I want to add the sub to that configuration but its not supported!? Makes no sense to me.My desired use of the sub was to be able to stream Amazon music via the dot connected to my stereo. I wanted to be able to add more bass to that combination. I also have the same stereo connected to my Apple TV and can stream my 15000 songs through the Stereo and its attached subwoofer which works ok. I wanted to be able to stream directly via the dot/sub combination so I did not need to reconfigure my system just to play music for an hour while working. But the current limitations on the design make that awkward at best and I probably will not use it much until it is more fully developed.After a week, it lost sync and no longer functions.Its going back.

    I was surprised by the size of the speaker. I just saw the picture with it sitting next to two echos 4th generation and it did not look that big. I was wrong lol The sound it gives to the echo i own is amazing. Love this item.

    I was very skeptical on buying this after reading all the reviews, but I was surprisingly very very surprised. People were talking about difficult times sitting it up, I don’t know what their problem was. It took me less than three minutes and it was set up. Sounds wonderful, fills up my room , very satisfied. I would definitely recommend this to people with no hesitation.

    Just a heads up, the sub wouldn’t pair to any device the day I set it up. It took a day plugged in then it paired through the Alexa app to my echo studio. Must be a software update.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Big. Heavy. Awesome sound.
    Had to add something after reading some recent reviews – My Dots knew The Echo Sub was coming and once it arrived and was plugged in, it took maybe 30 seconds for it be recognized and another minute to pair everything up. Your experience may differ, but that’s how it went for me.The Echo Sub, it turns out, is vital to your Alexa Echo Dot setup if you want to actually enjoy the music you are streaming. It turns what is a pretty decent little set up for quiet music or background sound into a full blown system that can rock your world. Or jazz it or rap it or country it. Whatever it is you like. The sound produced by the Echo Sub is full, rich and room filling. I absolutely love it. It is rather hefty. Your dog probably won’t be knocking it around. It is large and round. If your sofa is against a wall, this won’t fit back there. (my original intention) Allow me to share with you a few thoughts and tips concerning the Echo Sub matched with the Echo Dots.Let me describe the environment first – Smaller home (1000 sqft) with wood floors. I believe the wood floors play a major role in the sound I’m able get from this set up. 3br, living room with dining area, bath and galley type kitchen. The LR and dining area are really just one large room.The setup (so far) – 3 Echo Dots (3rd gen) and the Echo Sub. 4th Dot is on its way as well as an Echo.So I’ve paired 2 of the Dots with the Sub for the living room and 1 Dot in the master BR. By creating 2 groups (LR and Master) and making the wake word for the LR ‘Computer’ and leaving the Master as the default Alexa, I can control them separately. I can talk to one set or the other without messing with the other. By enabling the multi-room music function, and creating a 3rd group (placing the first two groups into it) named Everywhere, I can fill my entire house with music just by saying “Alexa, play smooth jazz Everywhere.” for example.Now the good stuff. Alexa tip #1. Your Dots are not anything close to being “dynamic” right out of the box, but you can help them a bit. Try to set them on something hollow. I’ve got one sitting on a small table which has a drawer and the other on an end table which is a cabinet. In the bedroom the Dot sits atop a dresser. That makes a huge difference right off the bat. Tip #2 Make sure the Dots are opposite each other and the Echo Sub as near to center between them as possible. Tip #3 Use these three songs and adjust the equalizer by voice commands by saying “Alexa, set bass (or midrange, treble) to…” and chose a value from -6 to +6. Lazy by Deep Purple. This song is nothing but bass. Next, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. This song gives you an incredible range of notes and sound. Lastly, Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 Jupiter. This is for the fine tuning. You can always tell Alexa to reset the equalizer at anytime and start over if need be.Once you have your EQ set, you’re ready to go. And the sound is incredible. I’ve got a set of old school speakers I’ve had for over 30 years that are top notch paired with a Sony receiver and this Echo setup can rival them. Not in total volume level, but certainly in quality. It truly is amazing. And while they won’t peel paint off your walls, they are more than capable of providing music for a party. Loud enough that you can’t talk over them comfortably and given the right time of night and music, get the cops to show up. If you’re into that sort of thing.I can’t wait for my fourth Dot to arrive so I can group 4 Dots with the Echo Sub (with an Echo replacing the Dot in the bedroom) and create a pseudo-surround environment throughout the house. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Echo Sub (and Dots) to anyone looking to add great sound and flexibility to their home audio system. I’d give the Echo Sub a 6th star of I could.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Nice flat bass output
    As expected with a sealed enclosure, it covers a wide range of frequencies. Works well for a prefabricated setup. It digs a bit below the 40hz range but starts to drop off around there. But for an 8” in a compact enclosure it hits hard. Does well in the 60-100hz range. Has an equalizer in the app so you can turn it up just a tad bit to blend with the higher hz of your Amazon speaker. I only have one but Two used as a stereo setup would not disappoint

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Echo Sub is great for the price.
    Perhaps not as easy to setup as some of the other Echo devices, the Echo Subwoofer provides the necessary “low end” that your music may be missing with the other Echo devices. Once paired with a compatible Echo device, it provides a nice sound for the price point. I believe that it sounds betterthe more that it’s used. If you’re looking for a good subwoofer, I believe that the Echo Sub is the proper pick.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas It needs an independent volume/bass control. Otherwise, great.
    I am using the Echo Sub with two 2nd gen Echo Studios. These are used in our medium-sized great room for music and are also paired wirelessly to our TV via a Firestick 4K Max 2nd Gen and used in Home Theater mode for Dolby Atmos, etc. All of this works great, and I am overall very pleased with the setup.We have a dedicated room upstairs with complete audio/visual equipment, full 7.1 speakers with a large subwoofer for shaking the house, and the great room Fire TV Home Theater mode can’t compete with that, but I didn’t want it to. This setup is perfect for casual daily use.The only real downside I’ve experienced with the sub is something many others have mentioned, and I’m surprised it hasn’t been addressed, yet. The nature of a sub needs an independent volume adjustment. It seems like it would be easy enough to add a special +/- adjustment in the app just for the sub. Then it could be tuned for each set of speakers that are paired with it. Even better would be one independent volume/bass setting for Home Theater mode and another setting for music.Still, even with the huge oversight of an independent volume control, it is a nice unit, and there are some quasi-work-arounds that can somewhat allow the bass to be dialed in.We can’t give half-stars, but I would rate the sub 4.5 stars. It just needs an independent adjustment via the app, and it would be great. Also, this review is specifically for when the sub is used with Amazon streaming music and Home Theater mode with a Fire TV. That was its intended purpose.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Update, almost 2 months, and loving it more and more 🙂
    ** I honestly do not know what all of the negative reviewers are doing that makes this so hard to set up???? When I originally purchased this, I had it paired with my Echo Show, which was ok, but decided I wanted to see what it sounded like when it was paired with two echos. I unpaired it from the show, paired it to the first echo, at which time it asked me what was the second device. I picked the 2nd echo, and then it asked me to choose left side and right side. I named my echos left and right just to make life easier to figure out which was which. The two echos are on an upper shelf in my tv cabinet (a little above head level when sitting). The sub sits on the floor directly in front of the cabinet, so I guess I am getting two walls worth of revurb off of it. We run the volume between 3 and 5 most of the time. I am amazed that even when I have it cranked up, a normal voice request to Alexa kicks on the listening mode and mutes the music temporarily, something that never worked with the Echo Show without yelling if I had the music loud. I guess my only advice is follow the prompts, dont try to work ahead. It should take you less than 5 minutes to plug in, power on, and pair everything. I have had ZERO issues with it.I found setup easy, performance was actually surprisingly good, and any questions I had Amazon was very responsive too!Funny, reading comments and I am glad I bought mine before a lot of the negative reviews came up, or I might not have even tried it. I love it! MOST of the negative complaints are about things that were in the ORIGINAL AD for this product, and yet people are surprised. Amazon was very clear that at release, it was music only (not tv), that it was designed to work with the std echo gen 2 or echo plus, NOT dots and shows (although I do have mine working on the Show), no bluetooth (again, read the ad)…It is a great sub to use for music. It has enough kick sitting on the floor in the corner of the living room to get a nice bass reflex throughout the room. Took me about 15 minutes to set it up following the guide. I did wind up buying a pair of echo’s that will be in later this weekend, and the Show will get moved somewhere else if the sound is worth the change! For the price, and if you have at least an Echo or Echo Plus (or Show, in my opinion), you will like it.Update 11/25… This thing is crazy… people can’t believe its an echo setup 🙂 We listen to music, a LOT. I have the two echos in the entertainment center up on opposite corners, and the sub is on the floor in the corner of the unit. The responsiveness of the echos even when the music is cranked is amazing, I loved this thing from the get go, and its only getting better!!!

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Initial impression: Pretty decent addition to the Echo lineup, but setup can be a headache
    I currently have 6 Echo devices (well, 7 including the sub) and wanted to add a little oomph to the music when I’m playing it throughout the house.Now, I can confirm that you CAN pair the sub with a device (currently a 1st gen Show) AND have that device in a multi-room group. Mine is currently in the Everywhere group and works great. The sub software version is 1577509252. I’m not sure what versions it previously did not work in, but mine worked out of the box, once I finally managed to get it paired, but more on that shortly. I was worried it wouldn’t work due to some reviews, but I took a chance as I saw several get updated that it works properly after a software update. I’m glad I gave it a chance.For the sound quality, I think it sounds pretty good. I’ve seen reviews saying it won’t shake your house, but we live in a smaller place on a non-solid foundation, and you can hear and feel it just about everywhere when cranked up, especially if you turn up the bass on the equalizer that the sub is paired to. In fact, I’ve got music playing right now, not very loud, and I’m in my office and the sub is in the living room, and I can hear its thumping. So it’s definitely a solid little sub. It really gives life to the music. I’ve seen others complain that it only works for music, and that’s definitely a valid point, but for me, that’s all I need it for, and it works great. I don’t generally watch videos on the Shows or play music through my phone since I prefer whole-home music when I’m using it. Now, if you’ve got a solid concrete foundation, it may not shake the house, but you’ll surely know it’s there.Now, the for the only reason I knocked off a star. The setup. It was a little painful. I got the dreaded “device unreachable” error when trying to pair the first few tries. The Echos are *very* finicky about being able to all talk to each other to work properly when grouped together. Sometimes they need gentle “reminders” that they’re all still there. I could blame it on my more-complicated-than-your-standard-home-network setup (as in enterprise-grade network gear, RADIUS assigned VLANs, etc), but with enough other people with the same issues, I don’t think it was that. What finally worked for me was kicking ALL the Echo devices (including the sub) off the network and letting them reconnect a few times. At that point, they finally all saw each other again and allowed me to pair the sub. I even gave them their own network (VLAN) and static IPs to try to keep them happy, and it generally works, but they need a little nudge now and again. I also unplugged the sub to move it to a different location and had to go through that process again. But as of right now, it’s all working well, but it’s also been less than a day, so if that changes I will update this.So, in summary, I think this is a great addon if you listen to music, especially whole-home or at least multi-room. Once you get passed the setup headache, it’s pretty nice. I’m happy with it.

    I have 2 echo 4th gens paired with the sub. The echo 4th gens were on sale for $50ea. Add the sub and my echo system cost less than $250 and sounds fantastic!! It was a little tricky to get everything to pair up- took me about 30 minutes of trial and error. The sub fills in what the 4th gens were missing- low end. It’s not overpowering or distracting at all. Is this equal to a multi thousand dollar audio system? Of course not, but it’s all I need to really enjoy my music. I love it when visitors ask “Where is the music coming from?” Blows their minds when I point to the two little spheres. I’m a happy camper!

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Difficult to get to work and limited in scope
    I should have known by now that the Amazon devices are very particular when it comes to what they are willing to connect to. An example here is that this will connect to a sum of the Amazon devices, but when it comes to playback only certain things will it allow to playback through it. If you hook up a Bluetooth connection to your Amazon device, don’t expect this subwoofer to be linked and playback also. Only your main Amazon speaker will play back. The volume of this device is not very loud nor very impressive but it is good. I’m a little bit disappointed in it and I am selling it to a friend who likes it better than I do.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Sounds good, but needs greater integration
    First of all I would like to point out the fact that I paired the sub with an Echo Show that I have had for over a year. In addition to this, the Echo Show had received the latest update a full week before I got the sub (overnight while I was sleeping). I did not have any issues with setup. It worked on the first try in less than 60 seconds.The sound of the sub is pretty good for what you pay for. I have it on the opposite side of the room from the Show and under the bed near the wall (I don’t want to see it) and it not only gives the Echo Show a fuller sound, but due to the fact that some of the highs come through it, it sounds a little stereo. Initially I had the bass on the Show turned up to about 90%, but had to turn it down to about 70% due to how loud the sub got.Because of my experience, I struggle to understand the people who say that it “…has no bass!” and that it took “…hours!” to set up. Could this be due to the fact that they were trying to do the update and setup (on new devices) at the same time? Could it be because they did not follow instructions? Could they have received defective products? Could these people simply failed to follow instructions? Could it be due to the fact that some people do not know how to position a sub correctly (sound complaints)? I don’t know. Setup was quick and easy and can really boom if I wanted it to. It works really well in my large bedroom.There is, however, one thing that I agree with a lot of the reviewers on: The lack of integration will all of the available options on the Echo sucks. Right now the sub is only active with “Streaming services.” This means Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, etc. If you stream music from your phone, use a service like SomaFM (something that I use all of the time that is a “Skill”) or watch video, you might as well have a box of rocks. The sub does nothing. This needs to be fixed for all content coming out of the Echo (at the very least for anything truly streaming over the internet – Skills or video).In addition to the above, I have noticed that the sub lags the Show sometimes. When “Streaming” music playback starts, the sub will take a couple of seconds to come on. Also, when you stop “Streaming” music, the sub will take about a second to cut off. Not a big deal, but something I have noticed.Overall, I am happy with it (I have Prime Music), but what keeps it from getting five stars is the lack of integration. Fix it, fix it, fix it, fix it!

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Echo Sub: The Bass Boost Your Echo Needed!
    I recently purchased the Echo Sub to enhance my Echo experience, and it has exceeded my expectations in delivering powerful, deep bass that transforms my music listening. The down-firing 6″ woofer produces an impressive 100W of bass, filling the room with rich and immersive sound.Setting up the Echo Sub was a breeze – just plug it in, open the Alexa app, and wirelessly connect it to your Echo device. The seamless integration allows you to effortlessly control your music with just your voice. I paired it with a single Echo device, and the dynamic music experience was incredible. The bass is punchy and resonant, adding a new dimension to my favorite tunes. I can only imagine the audio bliss that comes with pairing it with two identical Echo devices for a full stereo experience.If you’re looking to elevate your Echo’s audio game, the Echo Sub is an absolute game-changer. It brings a depth to your music that you didn’t know you were missing. The build quality is top-notch, and the simplicity of use makes it a must-have addition to any Echo setup. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality sound and wants to take their Echo to the next level!

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Very impressive once you finally get it to pair.
    I’ve had my first Echo Studio for several months and I love it, so I decided to add a second one. I opted for a refurbished one. I had never purchased a refurbished product before so I was a little apprehensive but it looks and sounds brand new. So I had the two Echo Studios set up in my basement bar at opposite ends of the room about 30 feet apart and they sounded great. I had my doubts about whether the sound could be further improved upon but I finally decided to add the Echo Sub. It arrived yesterday. I didn’t have much time but I decided to set it up. So of course, it wouldn’t pair with the Echo Studios. I tried several times, following the directions carefully, and it just wouldn’t connect. I had more time today so I gave it another try. This time, on the second try, it finally connected. At first, I had it under an end table next to a couch about midway between the two Echo Studios. It sounded pretty good but I was expecting a little more so I moved it away from the couch to a spot on the floor, about 6 inches from the wall and with good clearance on both sides. Then I cranked up the system about halfway and played Also Sprach Zarathustra, from 2001, A Space Odyssey. I was absolutely blown away. The Echo Studios sound pretty good and have decent bass on their own but the Echo Sub takes things to a whole new level. I could FEEL the music. Another strange thing is that before I added the Sub the Echo Studios didn’t seem to be producing true stereo sound. They sounded great but it seemed like each speaker was producing the same sound. Since I added the Sub they are definitely playing in stereo with amazing separation. Now, I don’t know if the subwoofer has anything to do with that or not but there is definitely a change. The Echo Sub is a 5-star subwoofer. The reason that I deducted a star is because of the struggle getting it to pair with the Echo Studios and that made me cranky. But if you’re thinking about getting one don’t let that stop you. Yes, it will connect to your Echo Speakers and even if it takes a couple of tries the end result is so worth it. I love it and highly recommend it.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Not The Easiest To Set Up
    I will be updating this review as I use the system and get used to it. For starters the setup was not as easy as Amazon makes it seem. I had to perform several tries before it set up properly. I used two Echo 2nd Generation Speakers that I previously purchased and was using. I cleared them out per the instructions and started from fresh. I also got the sub online. First try the speakers would play but the subwoofer would not. Start over. Second try everything seemed like it was going to work but one speaker could not be recognized. Third try, same thing. Fourth try, same thing. So I deregistered the two 2nd gen speakers and started again. Finally I got the system to recognize both 2nd gen speakers and the subwoofer. Everything connected but still no sound from subwoofer. Then I reset the subwoofer, reconnected again and finally the entire system works. The sound is not bad but I will comment on the sound in a future update. Too soon to tell. I have updated the app to the latest version. For some reason the app will not let me adjust the volume of the speakers. I can only do it through voice. Everything looks good in the app as far as proper connections. After using for a while I will update and adjust the rating. It works but it is hit and miss for setting it up. It doesn’t work and you fiddle with it and all of a sudden it works.FIRST EARLY UPDATEI sat quietly and listened to several genres of music last night as a test. My overall assumption is that it makes the system sound much better and more detailed. The generation 2 speakers in a stereo set up have phenomenal midrange and treble. While the subwoofer is not a powerhouse, it definitely adds lacking bass to the system making the music much more enjoyable. The system can also get quite loud in a normal size room. At this point I can say I like the subwoofer. As Amazon tweeks the app and offers software upgrades I feel the functionality and sound will improve more. For some reason the app will not allow me to adjust the volume with the slider bar. You have to use voice or use volume up or down on one of the generation 2 speakers. This needs addressing. The software is a little buggy but future updates should fine tune that. I think the system offers very nice sound for a reasonable price for a wireless system especially when compared to the astronomical cost of the Apple Homepod. I will update again after further use.2nd UPDATEI have had no issues with loosing connectivity. After a tedious pairing session the speakers have stayed connected. I also had no problem incorporating the 2.1 setup into my everywhere group. While the bass is not mind blowing, it definitely adds much better sound to the system depending on what type of music you are listening to. I have noticed with newer recordings made in the last 20 years or so you get real bass from the sub. On much older recordings that have bass in them, you kind of get a thumping sound from the sub. Overall for a convenient, easy to use wireless streaming system it is not a bad unit. I’m going to up my rating to 4 stars. It will never compete with a true wired sound system but it isn’t meant to. The units give you very decent sounding streaming music that is convenient and easy to use once paired. The software is buggy at this point. For example when you ask it to raise or lower the volume it hesitates then takes a while to make the adjustment while muting the still playing music making you miss a bit of the music. At this point I manually raise or lower the volume on the speaker. The app will not let me do it with the slider bar. Hopefully updates will fix this issue.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Fills in the sound.
    I have four Echo devices, all part of my “everywhere” speaker group, so the first thing I did was remove the Dot (that I wanted to pair the Sub to) from the “everywhere” group.I then proceeded to install the new Sub paired with the Dot. After that. I added the Dot and Sub back to my “everywhere “ group. It all works fine. The sound is much fuller.The installation wasn’t too hard. I had to try installing the Sub 3 or 4 times before getting it to all work. Also had to reboot my Amazon App and all the Echo devices.The price was reasonable. I’ve never seen it go on sale or offered refurbished.Update: one thing leading to another—I upgraded my active monitor speakers and was unhappy with the sound of connecting the Echo Dot 3.5mm line out to the new speakers. Then I upgraded to the Echo Link for true hi-fi sound, but this Echo Sub doesn’t pair with the Link. Also, there was no way to control the volume of the Sub independent from the Dot it was paired to.There were just too many compromises, so I returned the Sub and purchased a true 10” subwoofer that had adjustable crossover frequencies and volume, and that connected by wire to the Link.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas 4 year update — why you might not want to add this
    Update after owning this sub for 4 years:I see that I complained (below) about the setup instructions. Lately, I have had occasion to remove this device and then put it back and find that the setup is now easier. Just plug it in, let it pair with your wifi and add it to your speaker group. So, I think that’s now no problem. On the other hand, I do have a caveat about this product.I used it mostly as the third speaker with two Gen 2 Echos. It worked fine, when we played music with enough bass and loudness to notice. Which, I have to say, was not often as we mostly play classical music at low volume.We are no longer using the Gen 2 Echos, having replaced them recently with one Echo Studio. The Studio has pretty good bass itself, so I did not use the sub at first, but later added it to see if it made any difference. No, it really did not make any noticeable difference in sound, purely because of the reason I gave above. We rarely play any music that uses it enough to notice.While we had the 3-speaker setup, we fairly often had to reboot the system (off and back on) after it stopped responding in some way or started doing something weird. When we switched to the one Echo Studio, that problem went away. But — after I added the sub into the group, I started again getting connection or other problems that required rebooting, just as before. And after I took the sub off again, the problems went away.So, now I am thinking that it is the grouping of speakers in general or the addition of this sub in particular that causes problems in the system, making frequent reboots necessary. Certainly, in my case — where I am not playing much music that even uses a sub — putting up with problems that come with adding it in is just not necessary. Now, we just have the Echo Studio hooked up without the sub, the system works smoothly and I don’t miss the sub.Original review, in 2018:I bought the sub/pair package with two 2nd Gen. Echos to replace my 1st Gen. Echo. Now that it’s all set up, I like it a lot. I play Spotify most of the time, which sounds great. A real step up from solitary speaker to L/R stereo and a sub. The sub itself delivers beautifully.One star off because the setup turned out to be more complicated and took longer than it should have, if there had been better instructions. The idea is that, using the app, you form a “group” of speakers in one room. In this case, it is the sub and the two Echos. But there are instructions on the sub to set up the L/R speakers before you link the sub. To me, this meant making a group of the 2 Echos and later adding the sub. But that does not work. You cannot add to a group; to add, you have to delete the group and make a new one. Apparently, what they meant is to get the Echos online, then plug in the sub, then make a group of all of them. That does work. Even doing it right seemed to be bug-infested, as I had to reboot the app several times. But I finally got it done and it sounds great.I did find that a couple days after the setup, Alexa started misunderstanding me and reacting to old commands in new and useless ways. This was fixed by restarting the whole setup. I have the three units all plugged into one surge control bar, so I can just turn the bar reset button off and on to restart the group. As I found with my first Echo, Alexa goes nuts once in a while and you have to restart her. So I suggest plugging the group’s units into a single surge control to make this more convenient.

Esto significa que si no tienes uno de esos altavoces, no podrás aprovechar las mejoras de audio que ofrece el subwoofer.Dependencia del ecosistema de Amazon: El Echo Sub funciona mejor cuando se integra con el ecosistema de Amazon, lo cual puede limitar su uso con otros dispositivos y servicios de transmisión de música. Si prefieres utilizar servicios de música o asistentes de voz de otras marcas, es posible que encuentres restricciones en la funcionalidad del Echo Sub.Precio: En comparación con otros subwoofers en el mercado, el Echo Sub puede ser considerado relativamente caro. Si bien ofrece mejoras de audio, el costo adicional puede ser un factor a considerar para aquellos con un presupuesto más ajustado.Recuerda que las opiniones y experiencias pueden variar entre usuarios, y lo que puede ser considerado positivo o negativo dependerá de tus necesidades y preferencias personales.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas CAN (Can’t) be used in Multi-Room Setup – Confirmed
    The sound quality is very good. The major flaw is that once the subwoofer is paired to form a speaker set…. that speaker set cannot be part of a multi room music system…. so it effectively makes the speaker set ( speaker and subwoofer) a one room system. That totally defeats the purpose of having music in the whole house….and defeats the option to add the much needed bass to the Echo speakers. I understand the reasoning… but it hampers the expansive sound quality. Hope the developers address this shortcoming.Update: I have contacted echo customer service numerous times and they have confirmed my suspicions…. the sub cannot be part of a group. They have agreed this is not possible… if you see in the photo…. it is unreachable. Customer service confirmed it and for the time being it can only be paired in a 2:1 or 1:1 system….. NOT in a whole home everywhere group. The biggest audio drawback to the Echo’s is lack of bass response…. so I have a to make a choice ….. whole home music (Yes) or bass in only one room (No) ….. really believe this is a very serious drawback. In a perfect world I live in a three story home….. would love to have the bass element on every floor….. if the sub could be part of a group I would have to buy TWO MORE….. Amazon could sell TWO MORE!!! GO FIGURE!!!….. Please fix this severe drawback!!Update to the Update! I completely gave up thinking I could get the sub to connect to my existing everywhere group…. Prayers Answered!! I checked this morning and the sub proudly displayed itself as available. I selected it and it gladly joined the group!! Sounds fantastic. I am one Happy Camper!! Way to go Amazon!! Thank you for being so responsive….. perhaps when you do a backdoor fix….. don’t be so quiet about it!! I am very pleased!! Changed my original rating for the great customer service and additional features!!!
