Alexa expects fairly precise syntax, especially when you're controlling your smart home. Alexa can answer questions about general information like weather, sports scores, and unit conversions play music from Amazon Music, Apple Music, iHeartRadio, Pandora, SiriusXM, Spotify, and Tidal read audiobooks from Audible control smart home devices make phone calls to most North American phone numbers or Drop In voice calls to any Alexa user and access hundreds of third-party skills that range from telling stories to ordering pizza.Īlexa is a very capable voice assistant, and its selections of both compatible smart home devices and third-party skills are unparalleled, but it can be a bit stiff to work with. Just say "Alexa," (or "Amazon," "Computer," or "Echo," if you change the wake word in the Alexa app) and give the speaker a command. The most direct comparison is the $399 Sonos Move, which is slightly taller and narrower than the Echo Studio, and is "portable" in the sense that it has a battery while the Studio must be plugged in at all times.Īs an Echo speaker, the Studio offers all of the same Alexa voice assistant features as its smaller siblings. It isn't quite subwoofer-sized, but the open ports on the bottom for the downward-firing woofer gives the impression of a subwoofer.
It's a rounded black cylinder measuring 8.1 inches tall and 6.9 inches across, and weighs in at 7.7 pounds. The Echo Studio is bigger than any other $200 speaker we've tested, including the Sonos One. It's truly impressive for its size and price, enough to earn our Editors' Choice for smart speakers.
It's as big and as loud as the Apple HomePod and Google Home Max, with more advanced sound processing and better imaging, but at $199.99, it's far less expensive than either. It features five drivers to offer not just stereo sound, but Dolby Atmos-compatible surround sound in a single, voice-controlled package. The Echo Studio is Amazon's biggest, loudest, and most advanced Alexa speaker. Now that the latest $99.99 Amazon Echo is just as powerful as the $149.99 hub-equipped Echo Plus, the door is open for a bigger, louder Echo. Read our original review from Novembelow.
