   Amazing sound!

   I bought this Echo Studio to replace an older Echo Dot, and was blown away by the difference in sound quality and volume. Music, podcasts, news… it’s like being there in person! Highly recommended this item.

   Best Speaker I’ve Ever Owned

   I love the sound from this speaker. We placed it in our living room/kitchen area and we use it everyday. It was a huge upgrade from our original 1st Generation Echo. For us, it was worth the investment!

   Amazing sound quality

   I am shocked at the sonic quality of this device. A pair of these would make a superb foundation for a high quality audio system. All the Alexa and Zigee features are just a bonus. My only suggestion is that Amazon needs to come out with an updated and significantly improved subwoofer to pair with this. The Echo Studio can provided strong output down to 60 Hz or so, but providing a subwoofer to extend this down an octave would make this a game changer in the audio world.

   Upgraded to 2 Studios, Sub and Fire TV Stick 4K. WOW SOUND!!

   I left an earlier review when I only had my first and only Echo Studio. That was an easy five-star speaker.Because I was quite astonished by the sound quality of the single Studio, I decided to create more of a home theater experience while not spending a fortune on a Sonos system. (I do own two Sonos One speakers for used elsewhere in my home and I think they, too, are astonishingly good, but building them out to a home theater system would be a bit too cost prohibitive for me.)So I bought a second Echo Studio and paired the two Studios into a stereo pair. I then added an Echo Sub and paired it with the two Studios. And finally I added a Fire TV Stick 4K and created a home theater with the two Studios and Sub. (This is pretty much the order you have to follow to build out the system.)I can honestly tell you that, for the money, you’d be hard pressed to build a better simple home theater. The sound is simply astonishing and the sound quality far exceeds what I expected from this (relatively) inexpensive set of speakers.If you’re on the fence about whether the Echo Sub is worth adding to one or two Echo devices I would absolutely scrape the money together as it adds an extraordinarily enhanced sound experience.As for adding the Fire TV Stick 4K, which I wasn’t entirely sure I had wanted to go down that road as I started this build out, I’m again exceedingly happy with my purchase. There’s enough tweaking you can do in the Settings to make it play nicely with your sound system, and the all-in-one-place design—that works perfectly with the Echo Studios and Echo sub—make this addition a no-brainer.In three words: I love it!

   Outstanding smart speaker!

   The sound quality of the five speakers inside this Echo Studio is OUTSTANDING!I have the Alexa app and had Echo Dots previously, so installation of the Studio was simply plugging it into an outlet. Alexa did the setup in less than a minute!I’ve been listening to my Amazon Music all day! Love this speaker!When you move it to a new location, the acoustics will automatically adjust to the new room!Consumers Report Magazine gave this speaker their highest rating, which persuaded me to make the purchase. No regrets!

   Excellent Device

   It’s hard to explain the sound quality this Studio can put out, and it still hasn’t ceased to amaze me. I remember the first time I set it up I was dumbfounded, I walked out to our patio to take a phone call and came back in completely forgetting I left the music playing, and was dumbfounded again. The bass is perfect, not to much thump but if you want it you can adjust that in the app. It gets VERY loud as well, I hardly ever have to crank it higher that 40%, not to mention that the sound doesn’t distort when playing loudly either. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, I Love music and this scratched an itch I didn’t know I had! If you’re on the fence about this product, take the leap and you won’t regret it.

    Great speaker for music

    You can’t compare the sound that comes out of this speaker to any other Amazon Echo device. I use it mostly for listening to music and wouldn’t care if it didn’t have the Alexa functions. Maybe not for a large space but in my apartment it’s great!

    Great as Individual Speakers – Multi Room Just Doesn’t Work

    I have fully automated, high tech and super luxurious AirBNB that I call the Cliffwood Experience in Houston Texas and it is a resort style vibe and we have hosted many famous and demanding clients. I wanted the best multi room speaker system I could get to complete the experience for my demanding clients. I had owned a few Alexas dating back to the original and they always worked great, but not so much for this application…THE SETUP:I purchased a mixture of Alexa Echos (4th Gen), Studio Alexas distributed over 10 rooms in this 3400 Sq Ft home. All rooms are setup in a stereo pair, and 3 of the rooms also have Alexa Subs and 5 rooms have Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series and those rooms are setup in Home Theater mode.My internet is Xfinity is rock solid and fast at 1,000 Mbps down and 120 Mbps up.The wireless access points were Eero which the Amazon site says “Works W Alexa” but it doesn’t allow you to force all devices onto the same speed, which support says is required for muilti room sound to work properly. So I ripped out the Eero, and installed the $1,500 NETGEAR Orbi Quad-Band WiFi 6E Mesh System (RBKE963), Router with 2 Satellite Extender which I purchased on Amazon.com. This system is on of the most highly rated by noted reviewers like PC Magazine and Toms Hardware Guide.I am using a paid Spotify account as well as the Amazon Music Family Plan. The default is the Amazon Music Family Plan account.THE GOOD:The Home Theater pairs work flawlessly, and its a simple and affordable way to have an easy to use home theater and the voice control is a huge plus. These are especially nice when you add a sub.The Alexa Echo (4th Gen) speakers are very impressive for the size and the Studio Alexas sound downright amazing, especially when paired w a subwoofer which all 3 rooms w Studio Alexas are.Its cool being able to play different streams in different rooms, which became possible when I changed to the Amazon Family play. The standard plan only allowed one stream at a time and it often would refuse to play at all stating that music was already active in another stream even though it wasn’t.This is a very simple and economical way to add theaters, stereo pairs and multi room to your house.The Alexas work great for controlling lighting, HVAC, and other devices.THE BAD:The multiroom music is a disaster, my “Everywhere” group that includes all rooms, wont work at all. It starts playing the chokes out a few notes before giving up.My “Central Speakers” group which includes 5 of the Rooms works intermittently. Sometimes it will play for seconds, sometimes minutes, but it always stops. More often than not it crashes after a few minutes.I am also required to say “play music on central speakers” because the feature that allows you to always make a speaker or speaker group play in a room or group of rooms crashes each time I attempt to change it.I have replaced the Orbi wireless system which was the best I could find, and this allowed me to force the same speed for all of the Alexas and TVs and Subs. Tried forcing all devices to 2.4, which made it worse, but forcing them all onto 5Ghz was a definite improvement. With 3 wireless access points I have very strong coverage throughout the house so the shorter range of 5Ghz is a non issue.I have spent countless hours on the phone w Amazon support and they always do the same things. Update the firmware, delete and rebuild the speaker pairs, delete and rebuild the groups. Unplug all the alexas, TVs & subs for 30 seconds. I finally put all the network gear, Xfinity router and wireless access points on a battery backup so I could just kill power to everything by shutting off the main breaker to the home and not waste time running all over the house unplugging 30 devices.SUMMARYIn short, if you want a simple home theater, stereo pair or even a single Alexa to listen to music, or control lighting and other smart devices in a single room these are great.But if you have a large home and need a multiroom solution, you should look elsewhere. Amazon Alexa solution simply doesn’t work for this application.

    Absolutely Amazing Sound!!!

    I bought an Echo Studio and immediately had my Fire Cube pair with it. OMG!!! The sound was absolutely mind blowing. I felt like I was in a movie theater!! And all this was coming from just one speaker!Well, I figured if one speaker can do all that, I need to go and buy a second Echo Studio. I also added the Amazon Sub-woofer. With these three speakers I was able to create the Amazon Home Theater on my Fire Stick / Cube. It’s great to have a FULL stereo sound with a deep rich bass.I was initially frustrated with the Fire Cube and it’s inability to locate the Echo Studio’s. But I did some quick research and found out that I had paired the speakers on the Alexa iPhone app. Once I unpaired them, my Fire Cube quickly located my speakers and I was able to connect them. Just make sure you DO NOT create a theater pairing in the phone app….let the Fire Cube sound menu do that for you!!! And if your Fire Cube or Fire Stick isn’t locating your Studio Speakers, you might want to check your Alexa App on your phone to make sure it’s not paired!As others have said, these speakers sound amazing! I’ve had Bose speakers before and these Amazon Studio speakers easily match anything that I’ve had from Bose. The Dolby Atmos sound from them literally fills the room. I love that each speaker listens to the rooms acoustics and fine tunes the sound to fit the room.These speakers have given me exactly what I was looking for, namely a movie theater sound experience in my own home. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Amazon Studio speaker or Sub-Woofer. They quality and the sound are mind blowing. And I can’t believe they can create this sound with such an affordable price. I didn’t have to spend thousands of dollars on a big surround sound system.I can’t recommend these enough. Truly an amazing sound experience. I love it!

    Amazing Sound, entirely due to recent software upgrade

    I had a 3rd generation Amazon Echo (pillar shape). For the money, it had a truly wonderful sound. Nothing wrong with it at all.In early 2020, I tried the Amazon Echo Studio and thought it sounded muddy – literally worse than the regular Echo. So I returned it.Then, a few weeks back, I saw news of very positive reviews of Studio Echo’s major software upgrade. Fortunately, it was on sale for 20% off – from $199.99 to $159.99, less another 25% of the discounted price if I traded in my Echo, less 10% using my Amazon Prime Chase VISA credit card (rather than the usual 5%), less $25 for the trade-in price for the Echo device itself. So, with sales tax and less all these discounts, my final price was $89.75.I decided to try it again, side by side with the Echo I had already, and the improvement was monumental – hugely significantly positive. It was like an entirely different speaker compared to the first time I tried it.As others have said, it is a much larger speaker, so be prepared for the size. I have it on the floor, so it’s not an issue, but may be for you if you have a narrow shelf or small table. Note also that it has a bit harder time hearing the wake word when music is playing compared with my prior Echo. Lastly, the volume needs to be a bit higher than the prior Echo to have a good sound. For a quality sound, it needs to be at 25% or higher. Just turn it up a bit to get the same level of sound. You’ll have plenty of upside volume to get it far louder than you’d ever want it.Fulfillment was solid. Ordered and received the same day, and I dropped off my Echo trade-in that same afternoon at a nearby Whole Foods.Bottom line: Probably worth it at full price, but I wouldn’t pay it since the regular Echo was really very good. if you can stack the discounts and get it for under $100, most definitely buy it. You won’t be disappointed.

    Powerful!!!

    Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard about the Echo Studio? This is not your average smart speaker. This is the best-sounding smart speaker ever made by humans, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer.Let’s start with the pros: The Echo Studio is packed with Dolby Atmos and spatial audio processing technology, which means you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of a concert or movie theater every time you use it. Plus, it’s powered by Alexa, so you can control it with your voice, no need to lift a finger. And let’s not forget about the sleek glacier white color, it’ll make your other speakers look like child’s play.Now, for the cons: The Echo Studio is a bit on the pricey side, so you might have to sell a few organs to afford it. And, it’s not the most portable speaker out there, so you’ll need to find a permanent spot for it in your home.Overall, the Echo Studio is a beast of a speaker that will make you never want to leave your house again. If you’re a music lover or movie buff, this is the speaker you’ve been waiting for. Just be prepared to shell out some serious cash for this bad boy. But hey, you can’t put a price on feeling like you’re in the middle of a live concert while doing the dishes, am I right?

    Wow! What can I say? The sound is amazing. The unit is a little bit bigger than I had envisioned, but still fits in nicely with our decor. And this thing rivals Bose or Sonos sound quality for a fraction of the price. I pair this up with other Alexa speakers to create a whole home. Sound experience. I also paired it with my TV so now I can get rid of that unsightly sound bar.

    They sound pretty good

    I have had Echo’s (4th gen) for a while and like them. For the sound they put out was more than I expected and paired in stereo they have kept me from turning my sound system. So,I decided to get an Echo Studio. I came home from work and plugged it in. Set up was pretty much automatic. (Have it set to your account when you purchase it) I turned it on and just filled the room. I immediately got online and bought another one, it was 3:30 in the afternoon. I got it by 7:00 that same day. They are both paired in my living room. I had thought about getting the sub for my Echo’s in the past. The Studios don’t need one. They put out plenty of base and sound great. I can see where when I was younger I may have wanted house shaking base, but I can feel this base. Are they worth $200, I got mine on sale. Considering I have a smart stereo and sound all over the house now with 2 Studio’s, 4 Echo(4th gen), 3Echo Dots(4th gen) and 1Dot(5th gen) they’re worth it. I’ll probably end up getting the subwoofer. Might wait for a sale though.

    Definitely Has it’s Positives AND Negatives…

    This is my first Echo Studio, but my fifth Echo device. I have 2 Echo 2nd gen dots, 1 Echo 2nd gen with built in hub, and 2 echo 2nd gen with premium sound. Like most of my reviews I’ll just write the PRO’s and CON’s.PRO’sAt higher volume, and with the enhanced music, the sound is very solid. The bass is powerful, strong, little noticeable distortion if at all. But that’s at higher volume and after tweaking the bass, mid, and treble settings a bit in the EQ.Like the other Echo devices, it’s well made, solid, high quality build.CON’sAt lower volume or just easy listening as background music, it’s very tinny, loses the bass, and has a somewhat hollow sound. Compared side by side to the Echo 2nd gen with premium sound and even the older Echo with the built in hub, the Echo Studio sounds very inferior at lower volume, across a various spectrum of musical genres. The Echo 2nd gen with premium at lower volume sounds rich, with great low bass and clear highs.Raise the volume on both the Studio and the 2nd gen, the studio starts to kick far better. That’s when it surpasses. BUT, if you want to play music say at volume 5 or 6 the older Echo is much much better. If you want to crank music up to 7 and above the Echo Studio is the way to go. Aside from that’s it’s really mediocre at volume 5/6 and below.

    Amazing sound!

    I bought a pair of 4th Gen Echo’s along with the Echo Sub last year. The sounds was hands down superb. When the echo Studios went on sale I bit the bullet. All I can say is WOW! The sound was AMAZING paired with the sub! I looked up Dolby Atmos movies and Disney+ had the larger library. Sound from the movies where coming from everywhere. The Studios automatically adjust to your room for sound. It will re adjust the acoustics any time you move them if you do so. I’m thinking of buying another pair and a sub for my projector home theater and putting away my Bose speakers.

    Two Echo Studios in stereo mode sounds exponentially better than one

    (Note: This was written by me and posted elsewhere, so ignore the personal references – I have simply pasted it here so that I didn’t have to write it again!) Two regular Echo speakers paired in stereo mode don’t even come close to the ear-pleasing sound that comes from two Echo Studios in stereo mode. As you said, Ty, you listened to only one Studio speaker, and some of that listening was in a surround mode. The Echo Studio does not “shine” with just one Studio (when playing regular stereo music files, which are the most common). Two of them paired in stereo mode sound exponentially better. I humbly ask you to reconsider your 7 rating for sound quality and change it to 9 or 10, for the benefit of potential buyers interested in purchasing high quality equipment. If using two Echo Studios in stereo mode, turn off the “Upmixing” toggle switch in the Alexa app. Upmixing tries to adapt 2-channel stereo music to the 3D potential of the Studio. If you don’t turn off upmixing, the sound will not be that clear and direct, and you will get the wrong impression about how good these speakers really are. That is why some reviewers gave the Echo Studio a low rating when it first came out because you could not turn off the “upmixing” (Stereo Spatial Enhancement) feature, but now you can. With that feature turned on, the speaker will try to add some processing to the sound and that doesn’t sound very good in stereo mode with two Studios. That processing may sound ok with one Studio, but even then it’s hit-and-miss, depending on which song is playing. Up-mixing is not perfect and not best for all songs.Comparison of the Echo Studio to the Regular Echo:The regular $99 Echo has drivers (internal speaker units) whose sound gets somewhat trapped inside the enclosure case, as the separate woofer and tweeter drivers face each other with a small space between them (they point down and up, not out — one pointing at the other!) instead of facing outwardly like the Echo Studio’s drivers. But the 3 midrange drivers and one tweeter inside each Echo Studio are facing outward and project the sound outside of the enclosure. That makes a big difference — there’s much more clarity and presence in the midrange and treble. It does not get muffled or trapped inside the enclosure at all; it is allowed to come out clearly and completely. I am hearing detail in songs I’ve been playing for decades — details I’ve never heard before. Those details are clear as can be without being harsh or grating to the ears. The outward facing circular arrangement of the midrange and tweeter array act like sort of a wide-dispersion tweeter – no matter where you are standing you hear each speaker channel’s sound very clearly (ideal for when you are moving around, working in the kitchen, etc. And I am talking about stereo mode here, not a surround mode). The bass is clear and mostly tight – just right without overdoing it. And if you listen to talk radio on these, the sound (EQ) automatically adjusts itself so that the talker’s voice doesn’t sound boomy (those built-in monitoring microphones work well).Finally, it is recommended to adjust the EQ settings using the Alexa app, and set the EQ to: Bass middle (5 on the scale), Midrange boosted to about 6 or 7 out of 10, and Treble to about 8 out of 10 (this sounds best in the very small alcove that I have these speakers set up in). Use a good-sounding music file for test listening – an audio file that has never been compressed more than once, and has been encoded well, and been recorded in high quality (not necessarily a hi-res file). An excellent sounding sample to buy and use for testing purposes is Rudolf from Burl Ives’ album “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas”. Sure, it’s an old-fashioned song but it is extremely well-recorded and encoded (at least on the specific album I mentioned). You can purchase it for 99 cents on Amazon’s online digital music store if you want to have it stored in the cloud and playable on demand — on these speakers.Note about Setup: if you have a weak Wi-Fi signal, the slow signal from your Wi-Fi router may cause some confusing delays during setup, so if you encounter this, begin by finding a way to get an adequate signal strength to these excellent speakers. Move your router closer or maybe buy a Wi-Fi extender if your Wi-Fi signal is weak in the spot where the two Studios are located. After a minute or so of getting established, they will find their way to sync with each other and play in perfect, flawless stereo without you having to do anything after the setup.

    Amazing sound.

    Sounds amazing. Works and sounds better than I thought. I did have one issue with it. When I hook it up to my firestick as home theater Alexa won’t play music anymore when asked. I have to unhook it from my firestick for it to start playing my requests. I thought it was weird that it does that.But other than that I think the echo studio is great and plan on ordering another one.

    Amazing Speaker Crippled with Deal Breaking Frustrations.

    First and foremost if you are looking for standalone Bluetooth speaker, then the Echo Studio is a must buy. You’ll be extremely happy and at 200 dollars its a home run on value and performance. Highly recommended for that aspect.Now if you are using it as a home theater system, that is a whole another story. Let me first say I was intrigued by the Echo Studio because of the Dolby Atmos, 3D immersive sound, and just the whole complimentary features I would get being a Fire TV Cube 2nd gen user. First impressions, lets be honest, the Studio is big and ugly. But guys we can get over that, my wife hated the look of it as soon as I brought it into the house. It has an unforgiving presence, hate it or love it, kinda feel. Not a deal breaker for me but for some people its a viable reason to pass on the Studio.Lets proceed, I am going to be honest, I tried my best to set the speaker up as a home theater system on my own going through the Alexa app. The first of many frustrations to come, I ended up having to factory reset it (deregister it) and call Amazon Alexa tech support to help me set it up. In my defense, I came from Homekit/ Siri/ Apple TV world where things are arguably a little more user friendly. The customer service/ tech support for Amazon Alexa services is outstanding. If I ever have to call them again for any issues, I feel confident that I will get my issue resolved over the phone. Alright so with the assistance of an Alexa technician guiding me through the process we were able to connect my Echo Studio to my Fire TV Cube. Thats what I wanted! It was a longer process than I wanted but I was finally there, probably took a couple hours to fiddle with it including the hold time and assistance over the phone. It is what it is, just a meh moment for me. But now I’m all set up and all is working.Then through out the night we proceed.Flood gates of frustration opens…Before I take a dump on the Echo Studio, let me reiterate when sound comes out of the speaker it sounds really good. Standalone Bluetooth speaker its number one. Its without a doubt should be on anyone’s radar looking for one. With the flexibility of all the music streaming services, solid mids and highs and house rattling bass, it is definitely a contender in this space. Price and value alone to me its hands down the winner.Now lets talk about my deal breaking issues with the speaker.Amazon advertises the Echo Studio as a theater system that supports Dolby Atmos using their latest Fire TV Cube, I told you that earlier and thats what lead me down this path. But there are issues on the software side that needs to be addressed before this even gets close to a theater system replacement.Audio and video sync issues. Yes I know you are able to go into settings and tweak this, and so I did… various times throughout the night. It seemed like after awhile the audio and video sync would sway off and I would have to go back into the settings and tweak it again. A high frustration, but forgivable for the price. I could live with it and hope for updates to come with better syncing support. As long as nothing else was an issue I could deal with it, But I am now needing a flawless experience from here on out.Unfortunately, flawless is not in the Studio’s vocabulary.Switching between Bluetooth music from my phone and theater system is an absolute nightmare and some how Amazon Music playing from the Fire Cube TV was thrown into the mix as well. Its like Freddy vs Jason, two nightmares into one. The studio can not handle and decide the proper channel to play the media without a little effort on the user end. Its hard to explain but juggling media playback for a theater system shouldn’t have multiple sources; Bluetooth and Fire Cube TV that should be it. It seems like both devices are competing for attention, while the speaker should just be a speaker when connected to a fire cube.Side note, “Alexa, Connect to my phone.” never worked. Studio also has a hard time handling more than one Bluetooth connected device. Had to manually connect my wife’s and mine’s device each and every time to play music. Also a couple times I had to restart the whole set up because music wasn’t playing. Restarted the Fire Cube, Studio, and phone to get music playing. My frustration is building at this point.The final straw though was later that night while watching a show the audio without warning abruptly goes out. Video still playing but the Studio was silent. I was fed up. I wasn’t going to bring something in my home that I had to babysit every night. I didn’t even try to troubleshoot the issue. I did the final and last factory reset on the Studio and packaged the speaker back up to be returned.I know I am an edge case and I am being extremely critical on some functionality , but at the end of the day, I dont want to deal with any issues. I want to set it and forget it. Give me the same sound and ugly design with a $100 higher price tag but a flawless seamless integration, I would gladly pay. I dont want to have to think when I come home, I want to flop on the couch and just watch tv. Bottom line I wanted to love the Studio, but in the end with all its perks comes unnecessary issues that I dont really need.I DONT recommend it as a Fire TV Cube theater system set up.I DO recommend it as a standalone bluetooth speaker.

    Use with a Macbook Pro and a Firestick 4k Max!

    Like so many others, I wanted to try the studio. I had the 4th gen Echoes with premium sound paired with the Echo Sub and loved it. Could not imagine how it could get a whole lot better until I read some of the reviews that spoke so highly of having two Studios paired with the sub. I was intrigued and just kept my eye out and even started looking on Ebay for some used ones.Finally, I caught a sale on two refurbed Studios for $159 each and took the plunge. Got it set up in Home Theatre mode rather easily.These things have completely re-ignited my passion for music! I have not been this consumed with listening to music since the early 2000’s.I would HIGHLY suggest, if possible, that you buy two of these and the sub. You won’t be disappointed. Would also recommend a Firestick 4k Max and a monitor that supports CEC/ARC. It will allow you to run all your computer sound through the Studio Home Theater System. I use my 2018 Intel Macbook Pro to run Ultra HD music through the Amazon Music App. I listen to music constantly when I’m working from home, but also use it for zoom calls, videos, etc, Direct TV Stream off of a window in Chrome and when I’m done working will switch over to the Firestick Home and watch a movie in Atmos.I must warn you, you will want to subscribe to Amazon Music and gain access to 24 bit Ultra HD music. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t tell a difference. You can DEFINITELY tell a difference, especially with this sound system. Even still, the 16 bit stuff sounds fantastic. For a completely wireless system that fits on a desk, it sounds better than all my audiophile equipment that cost thousands, required a rack and lots of space over 20 years ago. The spatial audio puts you in the middle of the music like nothing else I’ve heard.I can’t rate this any higher and could not be more pleased.

    Sounds Amazing worth the price

    Love the sound quality, but the mic dose not hear me very well even when standing next to it. I use my echo dot to control music on it otherwise I have to yell at it. Still glad I bought it the sound quality I sooo much better then my dot or tower.

    Great overall, high latency from auxiliary input

    The sound quality of the product is near best in class and price range, albeit distinctly behind Apple home pod 2. Home pod does not work with Android and does not have auxiliary input, hence I had settled at Amazon Echo Studio. However, I found that the latency for the auxiliary input is as high as half-a-second which does not fit my requirement (which includes live music and singing too). I have now settled for Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7, which has somewhat inferior base, but otherwise is good enough.

    It’s BIG

    Wasn’t sure if this was going to be a good speaker. A bit taken back at the sheer size of it. Took a few days to get used to it and now I would be unhappy were it absent. Sound is excellent; fills the room. Microphones are very responsive. All in all, an great, primary smart speaker.

    Misleading description, sound quality just decent. Atmos does not work on PC.

    UPDATE #1: I found out how to control the sound settings. I just decided to try saying, “Alexa, decrease bass” and it flashed and while I could not tell for sure, I tried another command, “Alexa, decrease bass to minimum” then afterwards I said “Alexa, increase bass to max” and there was a significant difference. Alexa confirmed my settings were applied when I tried to increase bass after being already maxed out and Alexa responded by saying, “Bass is already set to max.” This also works with Treble. Hope this helps some of you out.Dolby atmos does not work on PC and it sounds like a mid to low end stereo over bluetooth. This was confirmed through the Dolby Access app for the PC. I hope to find out that I am wrong about this. I did read that I can supposedly get up to 5.1 surround but it requires another adapter that I just placed an order for and will update to see if it actually works. Aux cable does not register to my PC or smartphone at all and customer service technician could not figure out how to get it to work and stated they will send me an email with instructions within 30 minutes. It has been several hours as of this review with no updates.I always find that most people who say the sound quality of a certain speaker is excellent/audiophile quality usually have no idea what they’re talking about. I would bet most are running this over bluetooth and not realizing it does not allow the full features of what this speaker supposedly can put out. It has a punchy bass and that causes the illusion that the speakers sound better. As far as I know, this product requires a cable to utilize its dolby atmos, and the Amazon service tech could not confirm or deny this. However, read the description that says it works with the latest Firesticks and other devices but not with older gen. Perhaps this means for TVs, you can still wireless connect over bluetooth and utilize dolby atmos.I have not tried it on a TV for dolby atmos but as stated above, the description implies you may need to get an optical cable to connect with your TV for the dolby atmos. However, one of my biggest problems with this is that you cannot adjust sound settings. I don’t want the bass on at night because I don’t want to disrupt my neighbors, and there is literally no way to adjust that or any other highs/mid/lows. I’m hoping the optical cable will allow me to adjust settings with the sound card driver on my PC.On a similar note, it is worth mentioning that not being able to adjust the bass affects the sound quality of movies, as it often adds too much bass to the voices of the actors and sounds odd. Additionally, it adds almost a reverb to the voice, which I tried adjusting through windows sound settings by turning off spatial sound and digital surround. Nothing seems to fix the issue. I have loudness equalization turned on and while it helps movies and music, the Alexa notifications come out at a significantly louder volume to the point where I have to turn it down only to have to turn the volume back up when I resume a movie or playlist.This device doesn’t allow you to use the built in mic for the majority of apps outside of Amazon but it will set the default mic on your PC to the Echo Studio. This is annoying because you will have to manually go into every single app that the Echo mic does not work and change it back to your original mic.In any case, until I can hear how it sounds with dolby atmos or even 5.1 surround, I would say do not believe the hype that these are audiophile quality as they sound worse than my $70 bluetooth speakers. These don’t sound bad, just don’t expect to be blown away over bluetooth.

    Excellent sounds but some software issues

    The sound quality is excellent and the Dolby Atmos content is awesome in this speaker, but a lot of times it disconnect from the Firestick or reduces the sound quality and looses the synchronization of the volume from the “Home studio” setting and the stand alone Alexa speaker… It has a nice deep bass but definitely the Echo sub will give you that extra punch for those who love bassy sound

    Powerful great sound

    No se pudo cargar el archivo multimedia.

     Hello everyone, I don’t usually do reviews but on this one I did because of the fantastic sound now on the video set volume at 59% yes the video was taken close for photo purpose, but if I turn this thing up it will not only blow me away, but my neighbors mite think I went mad, the audio settings were all adjusted just a little bit , now I jus got this yesterday an it instantly hooked up to Bluetooth no problem and that was to my fire stick tv remote, now here’s what I think about that sound not even close to my 3 speaker Roku surround system. Excellent for music just absolutely wonderful. Little pricey but I love the sound have it outside as seen in the video an I’m gonna take it camping no internet in the mtns. So I will pair it with my phone or tablet which I have not tried yet but if it connected so easily to my fire stick it should wk, other than that I couldn’t be more happy an satisfied w/ this speaker I love music not so much of a tv person, but buy this and you’ll be happy 😁 like me, other reviews I read are contrastive to mine, but the video says it all thank you purchase an enjoy. Thank u for reading an watching my review

    The best sound at this price

    I compared the Echo Studio with the Apple HomePod and Sonos Era100. In side-by-side sound tests the HomePod and Era100 may be 5% better. But ultimately the price and my existing Alexa ecosystem lead me to purchase the Echo Studio. The Echo Studio surpassed my expectations. I give the sound quality an A grade. I am glad I went with the Studio, very happy with the purchase.

    Upgrading electronics

    I have a 1st gen echo and was really impressed with it I also got a power base to make it potable to take any place and be cordless as long as I had wifi played anywhere then they came out with subwoofer but not compatible with first Gen after about 4 years I decided to upgrade my echo so I can add other accessories

    Good Sound but not very deep bass.

    The Studio is a good audio device but the deep bass is not as powerful as I would expect as a stand-a-lone device. The only way to enhance the bass is to pair the Studio with the Sub woofer. Then configuration and setup concerns arise between the Sub woofer and the Studio in volume adjustments. The SUB has NO volume control button. The user must play around and experiment…. Once the two devices are paired and the volume is tweaked on the Studio and the SUB the audio quality is GREAT!

    The speaker is about the size of a paint can, little heavy. But the sound is excellent. No matter how loud it is Alexa always seems to hear me call her name with out having to scream. I have recently purchased 1 for myself and 2 as gifts. Everyone loves loves them.

    Better than HomePod and Sonos One

    UPDATEI’ve had the 2.1 setup connected to a 4K Stick for 5 months, which has been used as a sound bar/stereo in our master bedroom. From a music perspective, it sounds it’s pretty good! The sound stage is full and produces decent bass. I wish it got a little louder. I find the bass response better for music than movies (I LOVE heavy bass in action scenes). If you like heavy bass for action movies, you may be a little disappointed. .I have, but no longer experience the connectivity issues others have written about. Mine were limited to music playback, however the issue subsided a few months ago.I’ll address three improvement areas:1) When connected with the sub, all the lows go through the sub and the woofers on the studios are rendered useless, unless the volume is high. The trade-off is clearer sound than when the studios are paired alone. Personally, I look at it as a design flaw. All three units should produce lows (or at least have the settings in the EQ to do so) for a better, more immersive bass experience. What good is a 5.25’ Studio driver if it won’t be used when paired?? 🤔2) As other reviewers have mentioned, there is a lip syncing issue when used as a home theater. Depending on the source the fire stick is decoding, there can be a noticeable sound lag. I have not discovered a way to address this issue.3) The Studios have the ability to play lossless tracks (24bit). However, paired with a Fire device (Cube, 4K stick… doesn’t matter) the output drops to 16bit, because the sound is decoded in the Fire device and played through the Studio. This simply means that fidelity/musical clarity is lost . The limitation lies within the Fire device, not the Studio. However, it’s worth mentioning because when connected to a Fire device, the Studios will be limited to the capability of the decoding device. If they’re used as a stand-alone stereo for music only, you can use the Studios to their full ability.BOTTOM LINEI like the setup. I already owned the Eco Sub so its cost had no bearing on my buying decision. The Studios were an add-on for me. In fairness, I came out off of pocket $240 for both Studios combined. With that said, FOR ME I find great value and functionality.The question is, if I was to start over and pay full retail ($400 for two Studios + $130 for the sub) for a wireless stereo/sound bar system, what would I think? Could I find a better wireless Atmos Sound bar + woofer with no lip syncing issues for the money? YEP! Could I find a better wireless Smart stereo for the money? I’m not so sure! Could I find one that does both pretty well? I doubt it! Could I split the money between two decent systems, one for music and one for theater? Not why would I go do that??? I’d get one that could do multiple things.FOR THE MONEY it’s good buy. It’s not a Sonos Playbar + Sub (which is 2x the cost) nor a B&W sound bar & Sub (which is 4x the cost). It’s good for the money.If you can look past the intermittent lip sync issue, go for it. If that’s a deal breaker, spend more and get a sound bar that also produces good music.————————————————————The speakers sounds great! No complaints; simple setup, quick calibration and I was off to the races.From a price point, it’s comparable to the Sonos One. From a sound quality, it far exceeds. Sonos One is probably slightly clearer, but that’s where the comparisons stop. Echo Studio has a wider/fuller sound stage, more bass, gets louder. The closest comparison is probably the HomePod or Play 3. IMO, this sounds better than both.I already own an Echo Sub and ordered an additional Studio for pairing. I have yet to connect to FireTV 4k to test the home theater setting.In summary, this produces very good sound, the price is reasonable and it’s the best smart speaker on the market… in my humble opinion…

    Really, really good sound

    This is the Echo speakers of all Echo speakers. It blows my mind that this speaker can fill a 14’x14’ (or bigger) room with amazing sound- all the highs, all the lows, for $199. Side note: What it really makes me wonder is why 90% of the new cars I buy can’t manage to have sound this good. If it cost $200 for amazing sound, every car should have it. Hats off Amazon. Any semi-audiophile should only buy this Echo speaker over the rest- it is more than worth the price.

    These must be paired in stereo!

    There will be plenty of reviews for the Studio in stand alone, single speaker use. It does sound excellent that way. But if you pair two Studios and throw in the Echo Sub, that is an extraordinary composition! That is the way to do the Echo Studio! That is how I’ll review it here.I decided I must pair two Studios since I had two Echo Plus’s stereo paired with an Echo Sub and it sounded pretty darn good. So I had to try the Studio paired in stereo, and since I had the Sub, I threw that in too. What else am I going to do with it? The Sub added a lot to the two Plus’s. I wondered would you even notice it with the two Studios? I’m here to say that you definitely notice it. You notice it’s not there, I can tell you.The sound of this whole system (two Echo Studios and the Echo Sub) is quite exceptional. I would have to say it’s thrilling! Yes, it costs $530 but that is bound to come down and did I tell you that it sounds incredible? It commands a respect, it really does. There is such a depth to this. The bass is deliberate and authoritative. Very punchy. It has exceptional dynamic range (at high volumes this can be startling) and the stereo image is just stunning. An enormous stage. Those 6 midrange speakers sound sweet indeed. Be sure to turn everything up in the equalizer in Audio Settings of the device in the Alexa App. This thing likes loud! It can easily handle max volume for extensive listening.You crank this up to ten and it literally takes over the room. If you can listen at that volume for awhile with this system (you must live without neighbors) you will be found with a huge smile on your face.All of Amazon’s music library is now available in lossless CD quality streaming or better, which shines on this. The new celebrated 3D formats also sound excellent, though I thought there’d be more to them (Abbey Road sounded great but I didn’t think it was transformed). But anything you play on this will sound exceptional. I really can’t believe Amazon has taken it this far from the original Echo. Bravo! I notice that the Apple Homepod is now down to $200 at Best Buy. Would two of them paired sound better than this setup? I truly doubt it. They’d need a subwoofer and none, as far as I know, are available for it.A few things. The circling Alexa lights are now on top of the speaker. You can no longer really see them from the side, which is unfortunate. I love those lights! And two, the Studio comes with this “spatial” setting set. I recommend turning it off. In the Alexa app, go to the device and then Audio Settings and below the equalizer is that on off button for the spatial effect. I don’t find it adds anything even though it really changes the acoustics. But if you want to hear music as it was recorded, leave this off.Oh, and I have to say that Amazon still does not make it super easy to set this all up. You have to start with a new or deregistered speaker. Set up each separately and then pair them. But it’s anything but obvious or close to foolproof. Come on, Amazon!And I feel I must tell you that you can’t connect to the Studio by Bluetooth when stereo paired. It will only play through one Studio, the first one you set up. To use the Studios in stereo pair with the Echo Sub, you can only stream. And you can only stream if you pay.Finally, then, these things are big. Really quite large. And seemingly only available now in black, though there’s a gray one in Amazon’s web site ads. This is not a speaker that sits demurely upon a table. It’s almost as big as the Echo Sub, if that helps visualize it. But you will definitely be challenged as to its home, because that is where this will stay, like forever. Especially if you go for the whole magilla. But I urge you to at least try it (the whole magilla!). But be prepared, I guarantee you won’t send them back!UPDATE: After a software update, the Spatial effect is now the preferred way, so leave it on. Turning it off now makes the music too flat. I think it may even turn off one of the mid range speakers. But something’s missing!ADDENDUM:After two years, these still shine as brightly as ever. But the thing that must be emphasized is that this system of two Echo Studios and the Echo Sub is designed to take full advantage of Amazon Music’s HD streaming service, since these can work together only with streamed audio. Using that enables you to get at least CD quality audio recorded in lossless FLAC files (what Amazon calls HD, 16-bit/44.1kHz) for everything in the catalog, and Ultra HD (up to 24-bit/192kHz) available on an ever-growing list of recordings. In addition, it is also capable of playing Amazon’s (admittedly still in limited quantity) so called 3D Audio recordings (Amazon Music supports Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Reality Audio spatial audio formats). If you don’t get the Amazon Music HD package ($12.99 monthly with Prime / $14.99 without), then you will be missing out on what these speakers are designed to deliver. Amazon’s Ultra HD music must be heard on a system that supports it to be appreciated. It truly is something else in audio quality, significantly better sounding than any CD or LP. And Amazon Music’s catalog is growing by leaps and bounds every month. It is currently quite vast, even its Classical Music selection which has exploded in the two years since the Echo Studio was introduced.Using the Amazon Echo Link ($140), you could get this same quality streaming audio (or even better depending on your amp and speakers) for an existing Hi-Fi setup (at least I think you can- there seems to be some confusion about whether it supports the full 24-bit/192kHz Ultra HD), although you could not get 3D Audio with the Link. You could also use the Echo Link to attach any other sub-woofer to your Echo Studio pair but that would also require an additional amplifier thrown in. However, if you don’t have that Hi-Fi system already, these (2 paired Echo Studios and the Echo Sub) are the way to go to take full advantage of Amazon Music HD at a very favorable price. Just compare their cost to that of a good Hi-Fi system consisting of amplifier, pre-amp, two speakers and a sub-woofer as well as the Echo Link you’d need. The Echo speakers here are a definite bargain for getting excellent audio with minimal wires or fuss!

    A sweet-sounding, self-contained hi-fi smart speaker system that will both delight and frustrate you

    TL;DR for the Echo Studio is that the speaker, whether paired with the Echo Sub or not, running hi-fi music (I’m on Amazon HD) sounds fantastic, but there are so many glitches with it that I’m hard pressed to give it a full recommendation.I love music, but don’t consider myself an audiophile. I’m a family man and don’t have the luxury of a dedicated “listening room,” and I’m certainly not going to spend thousands on a home sound system. I like listening to music while having my morning tea, relaxing in my bedroom, and when in my car. I have so far been using a pair of Sony XB-43 bluetooth speakers at home and they have been adequate.I decided to look at upgrade options when I went over to Amazon HD for my streaming service (I also tried Tidal, but that’s for another review). I wanted something convenient, plug & play, and as a parent, relatively childproof. Bluetooth was not an option, as one loses most of the hi-fi benefits over bluetooth. Enter the Echo Studio. I already have a few Echo Dots, Fire TV, and as mentioned, Amazon HD Music, so it seemed like a natural fit. It should be noted however, that although Alexa Cast only works with Amazon Music, you can stream music with the other major services, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and others.So I bought an Echo Studio for the breakfast area where I have my tea, and where I had previously been moving a bluetooth speaker every morning. Setup was quick and painless and I was immediately impressed with the sound. It’s not a high-end home stereo system, but it’s the best single-unit speaker system I have ever had and heard. And it’s $200.I used the Alexa app to set the EQ, but you can simply tell Alexa to “increase bass” or “reduce treble” or make any other adjustments on the fly, mid-song or whenever you like. I see some reviewers complaining about the sound profile and wonder if they made EQ adjustments for their personal preferences or to suit the type of music being played.Impressed, I ordered a second Studio and an Echo Sub for my bedroom. Setup and pairing the Sub was equally simple. At first I thought the Sub was defective, or not set up correctly, because I could barely hear anything coming from it. Turns out that for me anyway, it needs to be at a certain volume and playing certain music for it to really be felt. But feel it you will, as the Sub makes the music fill the room in a way that the Studio by itself doesn’t. Make sure you put the Sub on the floor.The glitches started here, with the bedroom Studio. The music would randomly stop playing, whether during a playlist or simply when I had asked it to play music from a certain artist or genre. When I say that, I mean every single time I used it. Two or three songs and then nothing. Extremely frustrating. My wifi setup is solid, so I looked at suggestions online, and several people recommended putting your Studio on your 5GHz and cordoning it off there (everything else in the house on your 2.4GHz). I tried this, but it did not solve the problem (I ended up leaving the Studios on 2.4GHz and it has been the best option). I unplugged and went through setup on the Studio again and the problem, for the most part, seemed resolved. I took the opportunity to bump my internet tier up to improve my overall household speeds. The music on both my Studios will still stop playing occasionally though, for no apparent reason, with a strong internet connection. And they will go into “red ring” mode too, which is extremely frustrating.Fast forward to now. Sound quality is noticeably better than my bluetooth speakers, and I mean noticeably. I am hearing guitar strings and cymbal crashes on music that I don’t remember ever hearing before. I used my bluetooth speaker last night for a bit and it was painful. There is no way I can ever go back to standard definition music streaming and bluetooth speakers. Think SD television versus HD television.Now for the drawbacks. These things are glitchy. Music will stop playing for no reason. Voice recognition of the music or the playlist you asked for is hit and miss. The Studio itself will go into “Sorry, I’m having trouble right now” mode (red ring mode) and won’t play any music for you. At all. For five minutes or for an hour. I have to remind myself that it is a somewhat data-intensive streaming service and think back to the earlier days of Netflix and the like.Also, while it is convenient to just tell Alexa what you want to listen to, at times I miss having the control of just playing music from my phone, and the Alexa casting is frustrating. Bring up the Amazon Music app, start playing your music (which you have to do before you get the casting button), wait for it to connect, then finally get the music going. Yes, it’s probably only seven seconds, but trust me, it feels cumbersome. Again, even Netflix needs to load up.If you happen to use a voice command directly to the Studio while casting (because when casting, you lose the Alexa voice control function from your Amazon Music app) it reverts back to Alexa app control and you’re out of casting mode (and phone control). Even if you don’t, the casting drops after a bit and you have to go through the connection process again. I’m not going to pair the Studio over bluetooth to get phone control, if I wanted bluetooth quality sound I wouldn’t have bought the Studio. (I did pair it once to check it out, and the music was at a super low volume).It would be nice to be able to browse the music app and tap a song or playlist at any time and just have it play on the Studio as with a bluetooth connection. As it is, I have to tell Alexa to play it while I’m looking at music choices on the app and hope she gets it right. While on the Alexa app and controlling from there, sometimes it will show me the playlist I’m listening to, sometimes it doesn’t.I also have Apple Music, as other family members are on Apple Music, and other than one time at the outset, it will play the Apple Music when requested without any problems (Amazon Music is my default setting).As I sit writing this review, my Studio has played my music flawlessly the entire time and sounds fantastic, and this is what keeps me in the Echo Studio game and considering a third Studio to stereo pair in the bedroom with the Echo Sub (Prime Days?). If it performed this way consistently and the Alexa and Amazon Music apps integrated more smoothly, I would give the Echo Studio a 100% recommendation. I am holding out hope that future software updates will smooth out the rough edges. Until then, know what you’re getting. A sweet-sounding, self-contained hi-fi smart speaker system that will both delight and frustrate you.

    Audio Issues when configured as home theater

    This journey got started when Amazon recently announced their newly upgraded music service, Amazon Music HD.For an audiophile, musician and music lover such as myself, this announcement was the holy grail of music. Amazon claimed you can now access millions of tracks in lossless hi resolution audio quality. But let m clear on what this really means to avoid confusion. Typical streaming services such as Spotify stream with audio quality that is sub-par to audio CD’s. Amazon’s new service boasts both HD audio and Ultra HD audio. When you pull up a track on the service, it designates whether it is an HD audio track, or an Ultra HD audio track. An HD audio track is CD quality, with a bit rate of 16 bits and a sampling rate from 44.1khz to 48kkhz. While many marketers tout this as lossless, it’s not really lossless, but it is a big improvement over standard streaming. On the other hand, true lossless is what Ultra HD audio is all about. True lossless Ultra Audio tracks must have a bit rate of 24 bits, and a sample rate that can go as high as 192k. These are true hi-resolution audio tracks that are much better sounding than HD tracks. I was an early adopter of the now defunct DVD-Audio/SACD formats, which were true 24 bit hi-res audio, so I immediately upgraded to the new Amazon Music HD service, excited to have such a vast library of hi-res audio tracks now at my disposal.I had recently downsized my home, so didn’t have the room anymore for a true 5.1 discreet surround system anymore. I’v been using a soundbar and wasn’t happy. So when Amazon introduced the Echo Studio, I took notice. After researching, I learned that the Echo Studio supports 24 bit audio, meaning it has the ability to play Ultra HD tracks. So it was time to update my audio system. I went to Best Buy the first day the Studios went on sale there, and invested in 2 Echo Studios and an Echo Sub.In the Alexa app, you can configure these components for a home theater environment and that was my plan. I had also already owned a Fire TV Cube, which was great for streaming my content and controlling my home theater devices using voice commands. I upgraded my Fire TV Cube to gen 2 in anticipation of integrating it with my Echo Studios and Sub.If you want Dolby Atmos soundtracks when watching movies, you need to have the Fire TV/Fire TV Cube in the mix, as the Fire TV performs the audio decoding for these surround modes. Through the Alexa app, it was relatively easy to configure the Fire TV Cube, configure each Echo Studio for left and right channel, and the sub. That is my Home Theater Group.Now this is where things begin to derail. I said to Alexa “Play Jack Ryan”, and I was immediately impressed with the sound emanating from the 2 Studios and the Sub. It did a great job decoding the Dolby Atmos soundtrack, and short of a true discreet surround setup, I was quite impressed. Center dialog came through nicely, soundtrack effects were presented on a nice wide soundstage, giving a nice surround illusion without actual rear speakers.Next up, the moment I’ve been waiting for. Time to listen to some 24 bit hi res audio. Through the Amazon Music HD app in the Fire TV Cube, I searched for some Ultra HD tracks. Again the tracks are designated as HD or Ultra HD. I decided to play The Sound of Silence by Disturbed, which was marked as Ultra HD. “Alexa, play the Sound of Silence by Disturbed”. Oddly, the song started playing, but it took about 5 seconds for the audio to actually kick in, cutting of the beginning of the song. The other thing I noticed was when I used the voice command, it pulled up the standard HD version of the track. I knew there was an Ultra HD version, as I had just looked for it. So I did a manual search, found the Ultra HD version and started playing it. Oddly, it sounded no different from the other version to me. The label on the screen said Ultra HD now, so this was odd. I clicked on the track information, and was surprised to learn that even though the screen label for the track is Ultra HD, the song was actually streaming at 16 bit, 44.1k audio. This is not hi-res Ultra HD at all. Any laymen would look at the screen and think they’re streaming in Ultra HD because it says it’s an Ultra HD track, but the track information was telling a different story.This is where the call to tech support happened. Tech support sent some logs to the development team and them got back to me. What he tried to tell me at first, was that I was indeed listening to 24 bit audio through the Studios. How can that be possible when I’m actively streaming and it clearly says 16 bit, 44.1k. It didn’t make any sense to me. Once you have the Cube integrated with the Studios, the voice interaction is between you and the Cube, not you and the Studios. Further, if you need the Cube to decode the Dolby Atmos soundtrack, then it stands to reason that the audio decoding is taking place in the Cube, not the Studios. That was my argument to the tech support guy, and he agreed that made sense. So…I’ve come to find out that the Cube is only capable of 16 bit audio output, not 24 bit. So the Cube is sending the audio to the Studios in lower resolution, not taking advantage of either the Ultra HD tracks in Amazon Music, or the capabilities of the Studio’s hi-res audio capabilities.So I cannot natively, in my home theater setup, issue a voice command and have Alexa play back an Ultra HD music file through the Echo Studio speakers. This was a huge let down, especially after making all this investment. But I still had one more test. If I bypass the Cube, and use the Amazon Music app in my iPhone to cast directly to the Studios, then this should give me Ultra HD audio in all its glory. I’m doing this for testing purposes only. I should have to, nor would I want to, whip out my phone in my home theater to play Ultra HD tracks. I should simply be able to issue a voice command to my home theater components, and the Amazon Music app in my home theater system should be doing it for me.The cool thing about the mobile app version though, is when you click on the HD or Ultra HD icon, it displays the full resolution of the track, the bit and sample rates of the equipment it’s connected to, and the actual resolution being played. SO now I can validate the bit rate and sampling rate going from my iPhone Amazon Music app directly to the Echo Studios. Only I can’t. When I press the Ultra HD icon I get a message that says “Information not available when casting”! What?? So I can see this info on all my other playback devices such as my car entertainment system, my headphones, but not the Studios? So I still have no idea what the actual nit and sampling rates are bypassing the Cube.Amazon: You are touting the benefits of Ultra HD hi-res audio. You have created an audiophile speaker with the Echo Studio (supposedly) capable of playing 24 bit Ultra HD tracks. But there is no way for me to stream these Ultra HD tracks natively in my home theater, and no way for me to even validate the audio resolution from my phone direct to the Studios. So here I am with all this new equipment and still can’t natively enjoy hi res audio through a simple voice command to either my Echo Studios or the Cube. Seems to me the fix would be a software update to make the Cube 24 bit. Please don’t make me buy a third 24 bit Cube!

    Honest Review from a Sound Designer, Musician and Video Streaming Nut!

    These speakers are a great value for the money, easy to set up, sound great and overall just an awesome way to transform your home into a theatre like experience. In regards to the reviews from the audiophiles trashing the quality; they’re just completely off for what these studios are meant for. Actual studio speakers are meant to sound flat for production purposes. A home entertainment system, unless you’re going to pay crazy money, is meant to be loud, clear and not distort. These are great for music and streaming in a living room to give you that theatrical feel. If you want to install an actual theater in your house, then yes, go spend way more money on better speakers.The sounds is really impressive for the price point. I have studio monitors in my music studio that cost hundreds more per speaker, and what can I say? I’m just impressed with what they’re delivering for the price.My current set up is a Fire TV Cube with 2 Echo Studio speakers. One placed on each side of the television for a true stereo experience.When listening at really low volumes, I double checked a few times to make sure the sound was coming from speakers because the stereo imaging really is that good. Dialogue centers right to the TV and the ambiance is great, not to mention the panning of sound effects from left to right (you’ll feel it when you see that plane fly across screen, bullets fly from one side of the room not to mention movie scores sound great). The room analyzer really is fantastic and uses your walls to reflect sounds for a great experience.The speakers are balanced and my only recommendation for the EQ is to open up the Alexa App, throw your “Highs” all the way to the top (to the far right of the slider), your mids to the middle and give yourself just a little boost for the bass. Now we’re talking! If you push your bass or mids too far it’s going to sound muddy. Again, these aren’t studio speakers and I think the EQ provided is more than sufficient.I’ve tried watching with just one speaker to see how it sounds. The speaker auto adjusts to the room and does give a convincing stereo feel to your experience, however, if you double the speaker, you double the power—this means you’re gonna get way more punch and I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re on a budget or on the fence, just try one.Overall the sound is good, set up is easy and EQing them on the app is a breeze. So big checks for all of these things. Within 30 minutes (read about the delay below) I was re-watching favorite action and sci movies just to hear them in my living room and I was really impressed with the quality of the highs, mids and even the bass. I don’t understand why one would invest in the Echo Sub — just get 2 Studio speakers and the combined power of them is going to give them all the “UMMF” you need. The woofer in these guys is plenty at higher volumes.In comparison to the apple home pods: As someone who almost exclusively uses apple products, I couldn’t be happier with these. Apple is just charging way too much for their speakers for slightly better quality and they will sound not much better to the untrained ear. It’s simply not worth the extra money.So why aren’t these getting 5 stars? Well to be honest, I wasn’t aware that they would only connect as a studio pair with Fire TV over wi-fi. Read that carefully. Yes, they still have a quarter inch in (like for your headphones on your phone) and they are blue tooth enabled, but in order to take advantage of using them in stereo they need to be connected over wifi and so does the sound source. Therefor, you aren’t having a party and letting people just connect to the pair to play their music (unless it’s one speaker at a time). Not a big deal if it’s mainly for entertainment, but I do wish I would have known.In addition to that, one of my primary frustrations was purchasing the Fire TV Cube so we could easily stream 4k media without longer buffering or drop outs. Well, the way you do that is by connecting your Cube to your ethernet. Unfortunately, the stereo pair has to be connected to the Fire TV over Wifi, so that means the Cube has to be connected to wifi as well. They will NOT work for your cube/firestick if you’re connected over ethernet. This was a bit frustrating and caused some minor hiccups in my setting up… so instead of 10 minutes it took me about 30 to delete and reinstall the pairs.So this leads me to my one BUYER BE WARE: if you are trying to stream 4k, make sure you have a good internet speed and if not you better have your modem nearby or you’ll want to buy a wifi router to plug in to increase the signal near your TV, firestick or cube. In the end, I had a router next to where my TV was to extend our wifi throughout the house, but there’s NO WAY everyone has this set up and I would have been really upset if I had major issues watching 4k. Luckily, I have not and I don’t have super fast internet (about 55mbps) so I’m hoping most buyers are not put in that position.With that said, I do believe some of this could be fixed with a firmware or software update, so I’m hopeful. If they do, I’d change my review to 5 stars.Overall navigating and using Alexa is what it is and there’s plenty of reviews about that elsewhere. One thing to note: if you have the cube and 2 speakers, they do not overlap well when listening for voices. I highly recommend you mute 2 of them (I muted one speaker and the cube with the microphone mute button on top of the unit) so we’re only giving voice commands to one speaker.In summary, if you’re looking to add theatre like quality sound and punch to your living room, you cannot go wrong with these guys.Make sure you have descent internet for streaming 4k (55mbps or higher) and don’t be afraid to play around in the Alexa app to tweak your set up to your liking.Even as someone who lives and breathes audio, I was impressed. Not because they are the best sounding speakers but for what they deliver, how easy they do it and for what price they are doing it at.

    Quantum Leap in Quality

    The Echo Studio is a quantum leap from any other speaker that Amazon has produced to date. Everything else sounds like a transistor radio in comparison. The sound separation is fantastic and you can actually feel the bass at higher volume levels.There a couple of issues, however. The vaunted 3D sound is a waste on anything other than the songs that are specifically set up for it. DO NOT use it as a default setting. The music that is not 3D will sound muddy and the vocals will be lost in the mix. However, if you turn it off, the music will immediately brighten and the vocals will be clear and crisp. There are a lot of online reviews where they claim that the clarity of the vocals is lacking. That is because they were early reviews and took place before you could turn off the Spatial enhancement option. Second, if you combine the speaker in a group or as stereo pair, playing the amazon music app causes songs to stop playing at random and skip to the next song. I have read online where it stops playing altogether for some people. It does not happen when just playing though a single speaker. I have not experienced the problem, as yet, when playing through the alexa app. However the Alexa app navigation leaves something to be desired. Also the Alexa app doesn’t show the quality of the track that’s playing.Ok, issues out of the way, I have 2 of the Echo Studio paired for stereo and the sound is a revelation. Listening to the White Album in Ultra HD reveals melodies and instrumentation that I’ve never heard before. The clarity of the voices is amazing. It’s like listening to it for the first time. The 3D tracks sound great as well. There is a massive sound stage. The music really does envelop you. It’s not the same as surround sound. So those looking to relive the days of 5.1 SACD and DVD-HD will be disappointed. It’s impossible to get the same effect from one or two speakers. You won’t hear discrete sounds from behind you, but instead you get a full range from in front of you. It’s difference between sitting the front row for a concert (Echo Studio) and sitting on stage in the middle of the orchestra (5.1 surround). I haven’t tried out the pair for fireTV as yet. The current options for Dolby Atmos are limited and I’ve already watched the new season of Jack Ryan, but I may try this at some point in the future.The amazon credit for turning in an old Echo, sealed the deal on getting the second Studio. The wait for a second one was too long from Amazon, so I got it at Best Buy. They also participate in the Echo buy back program. So, I turned in an old echo dot and got 25% off the new studio (the discount is the same regardless of which echo you turn in), along with a $5 credit. So instead of $219 (with tax), I got the second studio for $155 (with tax). Great deal and with the discount it’s about the same price as an Echo Plus.The size may be an issue to some, but it wasn’t with me. In order to accommodate 5 speakers, there is no way for it fit into the same space as the Plus. The space is really need to fit the subwoofer and it certainly makes a difference.So my final thoughts: It’s a fantastic speaker. Much better than anything else you can get from Amazon. The price is right, especially if you turn in old echo dot (any echo really, but the dot is the cheapest of the bunch and you get the same discount). Don’t use the Stereo Spatial Enhancement. The songs in 3D will play that way regardless of the setting and it makes everything else sound worse (in my opinion). There may be point when Amazon releases an update to fix this, but at this point it’s worthless. I have never had a Bose or a Sonos, so I can’t compare, but I doubt anything in this price range can compete with what the Studio has to offer. If sound quality is important to you and you subscribe the Amazon HD music service (the studio is the only device Amazon offers that can play the Ultra HD music in full 24/196 quality), I would say run don’t walk to get one (or two) of these. You won’t regret it.UPDATE: I did try out the Dolby Atmos feature last night. I watched some of Jack Ryan and Carnival Row. The effect was just as outstanding as the music. Wide sound stage and clear, crisp dialogue. I do think that for watching movies the subwoofer might be a good addition. The bass was definitely present, but I think that the subwoofer would add some welcome bottom to the sound field (Perhaps that will be a Black Friday/Christmas purchase). The setup was fairly simple after restarting the 4K firestick. Initially the firestick was greyed out in the Alexa app, but after a restart it showed up. Set up involved just following the instructions after that.As stated before, there are very few options to watch Dolby atmos enabled content on Amazon. It does not allow it from Netflix, and as of yet, does not have the option for the Disney+. Hopefully that will change at some point in the near future (although I’m not holding my breath). However, since my main reason for buying the Studio in the first place was for music playback, I see the Atmos option as an added bonus.Update 2: they have fixed spatial enhancement mode! It sounds fantastic. If you toggle between the two modes, you can actually hear the sound field shrink. It’s now very worthwhile. Also I added a sub to the mix and it does wonders for the sound. If you are using the studio in the kitchen or a home office, one will work spectacularly. If you are using it in a living room or large space then 2 with a sub is the way to go. The sub adds so much depth when you are listening in a larger space. Currently playing through the app is a problem but voice commands still work fine.

    Bad Name, Good Product

    A self DPS adjusting speaker is why I bought this, and for the price its good although hardly studio grade. Before I go any further I am pleased with this Alexa device and intend to keep it, it gets pretty loud, and sounds fine although I dont believe it will be replacing anyone’s dedicated sound system.Pros:1. Gets much louder than other Alexa devices2. Sounds better than other Alexa devices3. Detects voice better than my older Alexa devices4. It has an optical inputCons:1. Seems slower to process commands than even older gen echo devices.2. Mid driver is lack luster, mids are mudded, and if you turn off spatial sound its almost like hearing them through a pillow.3. Sub distorts easily in my opinion, more so if you use the optical input, Do Not connect this to your Xbox as even at low volumes the start up sounds don’t agree with it.4. EQ can mitigate the sound issues, BUT it will not hold EQ settings at least not for me.While it has some short comings as a speaker its very good as an echo device with improved sound. I do not know who makes the sound drivers for this device but feel that they are the weak point. That being said I got mine for about $150 and think that as a Wi-Fi speaker that is a good deal. If the speaker can be made to retain EQ settings I would even go so far as to recommend it over sound bars in the same range.

    My favorite Echo offering yet!

    I’ve owned an Echo dot, Echo 1st gen, 2nd gen etc. While they were all fine, the Echo studio blows them all out of the water! I had a bose 500 in the living room and while I loved the sound quality, the speaker was unreliable in terms of Wifi and Alexa etc;so much so that I ended up selling it because I was so frustrated!I decided to replace it with the Echo studio. Setup was a breeze! Seriously;I think it was les than five minutes between unboxing it and listening to TuneIn. It’s a larger speaker with some weight to it and I like that. It’s not going anywhere! I have it on a high shelf in the living room and even on lower volumes, it fills the space. The sound is rich and detailed and of course, the performance with Alexa is excellent.Are their speakers that sound better? Yes, of course there are. That being said, the sound quality is quite good and the speaker is reliable. I am happy with it to the point where I’ll be keeping it for a long time.

    Noticeable difference on streaming titles with Atmos

    There is a noticeable difference when streaming titles on Netflix that have Atmos. To test this, I simply played the first 5 seconds of a Netflix branded show, one with Atmos and one without. On Netflix’s branded titles, they always start off with the big “dun dun” with deep bass. When lying on the couch, I can feel the Atmos title pounding on my chest whereas the non Atmos title is unspectacular. I upgraded my Netflix to their Ultimate or HD for an extra charge. You can’t get the Atmos sound effects without paying for the upgraded subscription. To me it is worth it because I think it is cool. Even without the upgrade, these speakers are awesome. They are way better than my 2.1 soundbar.It also pairs really well with my regular Fire Stick. Setup is somewhat easy in the Alexa app.I bought two Studios on sale for 159 each. Totally worth it. I love them.

    Natural Sound

    I purchased the Echo Studio because I was looking for a similar sound to the Harmon Kardon speakers. Echo Studio was the closest because I did check out the sound at my local retail store. The natural sound and bass is perfectly balanced. There’s an option on the Alexa app you can tweak the equalize but for me, I leave it on default. The voice command is fantastic. No need to shout when the music is playing. Alexa will hear your voice somehow. and there’s a mute button for the Echo Studio if you don’t want Alexa to listen. I have my Echo Studio at the corner of the room and I can’t tell the sound is coming off on one side.

    Great Smart Speaker

    Amazon really came through with this product. A few things to take into consideration:Sound Quality:While the sound quality is extremely good, especially given the price range, it’s definitely not on the top of the audiophile list. That being said, for the average person, this is a great speaker. It lacks luster in the mids so lyrics themselves aren’t as crisp as other high fidelity speakers on the market. However, the bass is awesome. No distortion. Also, this thing gets LOUD. Great for a house party or if you feel like rocking out.Alexa:While this may not be the BEST speaker out there, the Alexa integration and capability is great. The mics will pick up your voice from across the room even with music blasting. If you’re a heavy Alexa user then the great sound quality and seamless Alexa integration makes this the speaker for you. I personally run all my smart home devices through Alexa so having one more assistant in the room is great.Size:This speaker is chubby. Kind of looks like a chopped off robot head. It will definitely not just blend in the background. I have it on the corner of my desk 60×30 and still have plenty of room multiple screens and peripherals.Room adaptation:This speaker will definitely fool the room with sound. As far as the “3D Sound goes”, it’s really going to depend on the placement and structure of the room. If you place this in the corner of a room and try to listen to it from the opposite corner, you do loose some of that full sound effect. Also, the size and material of your room are going to effect the acoustics and how the sound bounces off the walls. It seems you really only get that full 3D sound effect if it’s directly in front of you and you have 4 solid walls for the sound to bounce off of. I have mine on the corner of the desk with the front speaker facing me. When I’m sitting at my desk I really get the full 3D effect. To manually reset/calibrate to a room hold down the command button for about 15 seconds.3D MUSIC:This speaker performs optimally when playing 3D Music from Amazon. Something to keep in mind though is that there are only about 1,000+ 3D song a offered. Who knows what the future has in store but that shouldn’t be the selling point if you’re looking at this speaker. Either way, you’re still getting great sound from any music app.Built in Zigbee:I don’t use any zigbee devices so I can’t comment on this. I also couldn’t figure out how it really works.Competition:For the same prize you could purchase a smaller Sonos One. Which one has better sound quality is up for debate but what’s lacking in the Sonos is Bluetooth connectivity. Also, the built in Alexa is limited.Using it as a sound bar:I personally only use this for listening to music while I’m at my desk. I can’t really see this being better than a a bar and subwoofer around the same price range or even slightly more expensive. I think it would work great with two Studio’s but then again … there might be better options at that price range. User preference.Summary:I truly am impressed with this speaker and really enjoy using it. If you’re a casual music listener Like me and currently or plan to utilize Alexa, this is a great speaker. If you really want to fill the room then I would consider buying two and strategically placing them somewhere in the desired room.

    Great speaker but need more feature

    When I purchased Echo Studio, I bought 2 because I want to have “Stereo Pair” & “All in one stereo speakers” integrated with Alexa that can be connect to my PC, phone bluetooth and direct play my Apple Music playlist. Unfortunately that not what this product mean to be, at the end after few days trial and error, I decided to return it because:1. Stereo pair issue with Google Nest Wifi Pro.I’m using google nest wifi pro at home, doesn’t matter you connect echo studio on main SSID wifi or guest wifi, when you try to create stereo pair, it always show that both echo stofio not in the same network, I’ve checked, that both have ip address in same network, same SSID, same 5Ghz band. Spent hours research and back & forth open case with google and Amazon, I found article that mention network protocol port requirements to be open, detail read this link (https://www.amazonforum.com/s/question/0D56Q00009D6sCtSAJ/stereo-pairing-wont-work) which is google Nest Wifi Pro can’t do anything to open LAN protocol port. Other solution is to use my old Asus wifi router 2.4Ghz (I keep this Asus as my backup offline unit) and connect both Echo Studios to that old Asus wifi and that solve Studio pair but this not what I want, I don’t want to manage other Access point beside Google Nest Wifi Pro.2. PC & Bluetooth connectivity issue with Studio PairWhen you connect to Echo Studio in “Studio Pair” mode via bluetooth or 3.5mm cable to one of Echo Studio, only that speaker that you connect have sound, this beat my purpose to have stereo when connect to my PC or phone.3. Apple Music Playlist issueI’ve connected Alexa App with Apple Music skill and set default to play music from Apple but everytime I ask Alexa to play my playlist from Apple music it always play the first song and stop, when I ask to play next song, Alexa always reply that first song is the last song.If because all above issue, I more than happy to use Echo Studio because the sound awesome, bass enough for me

    Nice upgrade.

    I was using an Echo Plus Series 2 and the Echo Sub in my living room. It took a lot of time (several days) to set it up to get the bass to sound clear and not muddy. I had to try almost a dozen locations for the Sub. The Sub doesn’t get enough love because users don’t take the time to set it up properly.I just purchased this Echo Studio and was blown away. I’m able to get the same sound and bass out of just this device! There was no crazy setup to deal with to get instant decent sound.Now when it comes to spatial sound, I’m much less convinced I am getting that kind out sound. Maybe I need to play around with locations but what I am hearing right now is just not what I call surround. Amazon claims their premium music is now a sound match for all the other streaming music services but I truly wonder if that’s factual. I do understand that some music is better produced than others and I have tried listening to various tracks. Some tracks do provide sound that comes close to a wide sound field but I’m fairly certain the algorithm used is lacking. I am also aware that getting true stereo sound out of just one device is impossible. Even using two Studios won’t give you true stereo.I also tried using this Echo Studio with my Echo Sub. I don’t think it makes a good pairing. The Studio provides enough bass on its own that the Sub is hardly noticeable. It does help a little but it’s not worth the trouble. I think I will keep my Echo Plus Series 2 paired with the Sub and move it to another room.Even with the concerns mentioned, I’m still giving this five stars just because the ease of setup to get decent sound is relatively simple. I am an audiophile and have a dedicated sound room. I even have a high end sound system in the primary bedroom. This Echo Studio does not come close to high end but for the average person listening to streaming music in the background, this is impressive.

    Great sound for a great price

    I really love the sound quality and microphone quality from the echo studio. I have it in my living room and it fills both it and the kitchen with sound. The microphone hears what I ask it even with music playing and cooking 15′ away. I was apprehensive about buying it at first because you are getting towards premium speaker pricing, but you don’t need to pay full price. I traded in an old 1st Gen echo plus for 30$ off, and then got 25% off on top of that as a trade in credit. I’m fairly certain these all stack with Amazon sales too. I’m thinking about buying another one and a sub as a home theater setup.

    Works great but one big flaw in my experience.

    First the sound is great except bass is heavy for me. I live in a condo with someone below me so I had to turn it all the way down and it sounds better. The problem I’m having is I listen to the speaker via the Amazon Music app on my Android phone and it casts to the Echo Studio. Amazon uses what they call badges to identify track quality and they are black and yellow and say Dolby Atmos, 360, HD… The badges should appear on the now playing screen (see pic) on the left side below the album cover and it’s not there so I’m not sure what the quality of the track is I’m listening too. I have the app loaded on my PC, TV and all work flawless with the badges but not the phone version. Called Amazon and they said the badge was removed from the now playing screen on a recent update. This makes no sense. On another note it would be nice if the volume buttons were lit up so you could see in the dark.

    Spatially wonderful

    Replaced an Echo Show and Bluetooth stereo speakers. The illusion of separate sound sources from this single cylinder is remarkable. One of the sources seems over my head but the speaker is along the opposite wall. Stereo speaker separation is very good too. The DSP and the aiming of the speakers really do the job. Frequency balance is also very good, not like a subwoofer but plenty for the double bass sounds that wake me up every morning. (Dave Holland “Conference of the Birds”.)This is in a bedroom and serves as sound output for an Insignia Fire TV, my wakeup alarm, and Alexa commands/responses. Also in Bluetooth receiver mode it plays audio from a laptop or cell phone. I have to repeat quite a few voice commands compared to the Echo Show 5 it replaced, however it is quite a bit farther from the emitting mouth than the Show was.It went right into service within a few minutes after box opening. Wifi connect, Bluetooth to the TV, room calibration easy. This does a lot of things yet it does not take much to set up. I am glad to have it every day when Dave Holland’s virtuoso bass plucks wake me up.

    Super happy

    I actually bought a used one for $120 and it is just a great product. I actually had to turn down the bass because it was extremely loud for my neighbors, and now I can connect all speakers at once and also connects to the tv and my Bluetooth speakers. Very good, thing thing I do not like is the glowing light is very dim and I can’t not see it when I ask for a command.

    FABULOUS ECHO STUDIO!

    This Smart Speaker sounds really, really, I mean really good. It is very crystal clear & the bass is solid & deep. You can even tailor those sounds. It has plenty volume as well. Do not think the bass will knock you over from your seat, it’s just a deep rich thick sound. Since I want to stay in my chair, someone else will have to add the Subwoofer to their setup for the tune destroying sound. It is a well designed sophisticated unit & is not bulky. One is enough sound to me for a large living room, but a twin would throw symbols, strings, & horns all over my place, along with the rich thick bass tone. But, that’s a want! I am super pleased with this Studio. Amazon did very well with this product in my opinion.
