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.

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.

P J Schneider
3.0 out of 5 stars Great sound but frustrated by voice interaction
Reviewed in Australia on 30 September 2021
Colour Name: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase
This is a nice speak, it's solid, sounds great, and looks nice.

But, I'm unable to use it for the purpose for which I bought it - as a Bluetooth speaker to my work computer - because of the annoying Alexa "feature" of telling confirming to you that the device is connected and the source of the sound ("connected to Macbook" & "playing from X's Macbook" for example). The reason this is so annoying is that this connection is lost if the speaker receives no sound for a period of time (say 10 mins, I'm not sure exactly how long). This then means that if my computer receives an email the speaker with chirp up and say "playing from X's MacBook" in order to play the incoming message sound. Or if I start playing some music through my laptop the same confirmation message Is spoken, or if late at night some trigger connects my laptop to the speaker, Alexa Sparks up without warning telling me something is happening.

This feature probably makes sense in an oft-use Alexa device that you connect to irregularly but for something as expensive and probably task-focused as the Alexa STUDIO (why else would you buy an expensive speaker than to use it in the way I intended) - it's unforgivable. It's a terrible, device experience ruining feature that has no Alexa app setting for disabling it.

For further evidence - search for 'How do I stop Alexa from telling me it's connected to my phone?' and see how many other folks are frustrated by this feature.

It is too late for me to return the speaker, having realised how awful this feature is, so I hope this saves someone the same burden.

3.0 out of 5 stars great sound but too big
Reviewed in Australia on 8 August 2020
Colour Name: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase
Pros : Amazing clear thick sound, and the bass system is the best I've experienced.
Cons : it is really bulk, pretty hard to display in lounge/living room.
Size wouldn't be an issue if the design was a bit more refined and sleek.
If you play music loud, Alexa will have difficulties hearing simple commands such as "next song" or "volume down". Then you will ultimately have to use your phone ...

I really wanted to love it, but its size made it inconvenient for me.
In my opinion, the Sonos beats it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful design but sound could be better
Reviewed in Australia on 18 December 2019

It has a nice design. It does not have a power button. It's sound is rich for its price but the bass and its 3D sound is not as expected or as described before it's release.

In Australia you dont get the dolby atmos function or hd audio. Although the speaker is good i have 2 and a sub its not great. For audio i find my 2 echos and sub do just as well. Without atmos its just a speaker. I love alexa and everything she does for me.

Honestly no complaints of the speaker quality. It’s great. But apple integration is very poor. Please fix this especially because it’s advertised as super easy Not true
