Mr Darren Schneider
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.

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars The advertised spatial sound is a hoax for now, otherwise the unit is good.

Once you get it, you will find out that the advertised 3d sound is a hoax, in reality, there is not much difference between on and off settings in the app. To be honest it adds about 10% improvement but nothing close to the advertised great smart sound!

Underpowered and lacking in sound quality. Very disappointed. Overpriced. Regional discrimination - no atmos in Australia. Echo plus pair has better sound.
