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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Expensive speaker that doesn't tick all boxes. - Avoid
Reviewed in Australia on 21 November 2019

The speaker is just ok. Was expecting it to be mind blowing like a real dolby Atmos speaker.

With the spatial sound turned on you have to increase bass and midtone levels in order to get music sounding normal again.

Set up wasn't the easiest. Took several tries to get it connected to the right network and then had to wait for a firmware update in order to adjust anything or even add it to a speaker group.

The bass level is a bit disappointing, but the highs are good.

Considering the huge price tag for this, I honestly cannot recommend this to anyone.

Edit: After trial and error I still cannot get Atmos Sound to work, it appears you need a subscription to a service not available in Australia called Amazon HD. So the huge price tag for this speaker is now even more stupid. Do not purchase as it's falsely advertised in Australia as supporting Dolby Atmos.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor audio quality. Features not available in Australia. Painful to pair.

I note that Amazon in Australia no longer advertises this product as having 3D sound. When I paid $700 to buy 2 of these speakers, THEY DID advertise 3D sound. I later learned from Amazon support that 3D sound is a feature that isn't available in Australia ... just like the Amazon Echo Auto (for cars) that I bought that does not work in Australia and voice recognition on all Echo products that doesn't allow for more than one voice and is therefore useless in Australia. These are but a few of the features of Alexa that we miss out on in Australia, despite paying for them just as other countries do.

Now lets look at the claim of "High Fidelity" that the Australian Amazon site continues to state ... this is simply not true. They are very average sounding speakers and certainly not worth the price I paid.

I spent several hours trying to get them to work as a stereo pair. When playing music at any level, they struggle to hear and understand commands and get it wrong 50% of the time.

I bought, delivered and installed these speakers for a gift and I have to say, I felt pretty crappy afterwards.

The after sales service I received was also pretty average.

I'm sorry Sir, that feature is not available in Australia but if you stop using your Australian account and set up a US account (requiring you to set up your 38 light bulbs and all your other WiFi controllable devices all over again), some of the features you have paid for may become available. - Wow - thanks Amazon!

Setup up in the media room. Do not buy this as a replacement for a soundbar. I did and lesson learned. The other reviews giving a 1 star are spot on. I would be very upset if I spent $300 on this. Lucky I bought it on sale but still disappointed. Sound does not equal price tag.

I am not sure why a company would release a product without supporting the product. Really poor form. There are reviews on this site in which people have stated they are yet to try the 3D feature not realising it won’t work.
