Buying call

Buy the Echo Studio if you want Amazon's best-sounding Alexa speaker: reviewers praised its big sound field with angled drivers for Dolby Atmos, detailed mids and highs, a much smaller redesign, fast Alexa+ responses, a built-in Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub and its use as a Fire TV speaker. Skip it if you want wired inputs or deep bass, because it has no 3.5mm or optical port and bass is underwhelming for some reviewers. Spatial audio depends on content, and Bluetooth is limited to SBC.
