5.0 out of 5 starsImpressed
Reviewed in Australia on 21 November 2019
Ordered two Echo Studios and they arrived the day after the release day, I already had an Echo Sub so I paired them up and added the sub, set up was easy, just plugged them in and they were instantly recognised, then just had to set up the speaker group.

The sound is outstanding, it can get very loud and the bass hits you in the chest at higher volumes (they like higher volumes but I doubt your neighbours will).

I originally had them on the carpet but had some spare spiked speaker stands which improves the sound even more as does turning off the spatial setting. I haven't tried with Atmos but that only works with the firestick 3rd Gen (diamond shaped version), 4k Firestick and Firestick Box, all of which are not yet available from Amazon Australia (please release soon Amazon).

Overall very impressed and a good buy.

This product does not do what it says it can do. It DOES NOT support Dolby Atmos in Australia. The only way to get this is via a Fire TV 4K stick or Fire TV cube. Neither of these are available in Australia. The higher quality sound is only available via Amazon Music HD , again not offered in Australia. If you want a good sounding speaker buy something else and if you want an Echo buy the cheapest one you can get. You will end up with the same functions and sound but more money in your pocket.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not great as a speaker or an Alexa device. Get a Sonos instead.
Reviewed in Australia on 9 October 2021
Colour Name: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase
I was expecting to be able to use this to easily play music from my phone as well as replace an Echo Dot for an all-in-one device.

Echo Studio is, unfortunately, good for neither of these.

1. As an Alexa device it is far too loud. We don't need Alexa booming at us that our timers have finished or that she's added items to the shopping list. Honestly its loud enough for our neighbours to hear and at times this can be cringe-worthy. There absolutely needs to be a max volume setting that applies to just Alexa to keep her at a standard useful volume.

2. Playing music. Also poor. The device should support Airplay over Wifi, and it should be logged into Spotify so that it can seamlessly play audio at all times. Instead it is just a bluetooth receiver which I have to pair / connect before I can use it. An additional annoying step making it a pain to actually use.

Speaker quality is not that good for the size and expense of the device. I was expecting better. Our living room is not particularly large, but we found we need to set close to the device max volume to get a good listening experience.

This of course means that the next time Alexa says something its deafeningly loud.

Seriously, did anyone from Amazon even test this device? Horrible. Going back to Echo Dot and no idea what to do with this junk speaker.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good speaker, but the device firmware still needs work to make it reliable and fully usable
Reviewed in Australia on 4 October 2020
Colour Name: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase
The Studio itself has good crisp treble, and respectable bass, but is let down by the apparently very poor current implementation of Echo device management firmware and control both from the Alexa, and the Amazon Music apps. The fact that the Spotify App also has issues with managing Echo devices (and none when managing Sonos on the same network) is indicative...

A bit painful to set up the first time, but nothing to the pain of trying to go through a subsequent (standard) change of password. I have a very strong sense that overall CX was not factored into test cases for a change of password during product testing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A big update in performance
Reviewed in Australia on 4 December 2019

I have only been using my echo dot to date and the echo studio is really a big update. I can now listen to my music at a much improved level and clarity. I also purchased with the echo the echo dot with the inbuilt clock and it is proving to be a good alarm clock where I can wake up to my favourite music.

2.0 out of 5 stars Tries to do more than it can
Reviewed in Australia on 4 July 2021
Colour Name: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase
We have an Echo 4th Generation which gives tremendous sound for such a small unit. We thought, as hi fi fans, we would try Echo Studio to see how much better sound it could produce. Our immediate reaction was that it tries to do more than a single small unit can ever produce and is not easy to listen to.

The surround sound is unreal, the bass overdone and all in all very confusing to our ears attuned to separate stereo speakers. The confusing almost boom box sound pattern nearly triggered a migraine.

So we are very happy to go back to our enjoying our standard Echo that has no pretensions to produce complex hi fi sound from a single unit.

I researched all the reviews of the Echo Studio some were good some not so good, but you can't please everyone. I purchased it and set up the Echo Studio, WOW the sound is amazing, it has exceeded my expectations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy setup, quality sound.
Reviewed in Australia on 3 January 2020

Really impressed with the Echo Studio, producing without doubt the best sound of the Echo range.
Solid clear bass, even at full volume.
I have my Echo Studio in a reasonably large room with a high ceiling, it fills the room with quality sound.
Obviously it’s not going to compete with a quality conventional stereo system, but for a single stand alone speaker it is very good.
But saying that you have the option if you have two, to pair them as a stereo unit.
With the built-in Zigbee Hub I’m able to run all my smart lights with it also.
Most importantly was the ease of setup, plugged it in, followed the voice prompts from Alexa, all done in minutes.

Absolutely delighted with the latest addition to my Alexa xperience. I had the original Echo which was great at the time several years ago but the Studio is several quanta leaps above it. Far better than the Sonos equivalent that my friend purchased just before I got the Studio

Love the chats with Alexa.
