## Description

desertcart ECHO STUDIO SMART SPEAKER WITH ALEXA IN CHARCOAL B07G9Y3ZMC

Review: Was worth the purchase! - 4 words to describe Echo Studio. "I Absolutely Love It!" You get sent an email notification from desertcart it will be arriving. They give you the information needed to make sure your ready for setting it up when you receive it. The links are easy to follow and make sure you download the Alexa app prior to it arriving. That way the process is seemingly easier than just plugging in and going "Willy-Nilly" without a clue on what your doing. Also, it's important you have you Internet 🛜 password in hand when setting the Bluetooth. There's a lot of settings in the app for this item but just take your time so you don't set something wrong unexpectedly. Otherwise the whole setup is easy. You can play around with the other settings later. Just make sure it works out of the box when going through the initial setup. Then it's clearly enjoyment time if all goes well. The Echo Studio is a HUB device. So keep that in mind. Functionality is a breeze and the design is perfect for any room. Sound is incredible and you can tweak it. Do not max out equalizer or you can potentially damage the speaker's inside it. I have the bass set to the middle. Even there it rattle's the floor. The midrange and treble are very crisp to the ear especially after a tweak. Find you own perfect balance though. Refer to Alexa app for all your questions and other things it can do. Echo Studio automatically updates itself after connecting to the app. It's worry free! I just can't get over the sound it produces for such a small tabletop speaker. I'm very happy with it. I plan on buying a second one to really amplify my experience by linking both for True Stereo 2.0 and possibly the Echo Subwoofer. Yes, other Alexa speakers may be linked to this. Again, the Alexa app helps if planning on doing it. Moreover, it really is a great entertainment investment. Definitely worth the purchase. Besides, it comes with a Alexa shopping bag you can use when going to a convenience store for party snacks. Lol Believe me, i think it was intentional.😉 Enjoy the Vibes with Echo Studio while having Alexa a voice command away. DJ Alexa! 😂 Thanks desertcart, for an incredible Bluetooth speaker.
Review: Huge Sound, Huge Echo - I have had Alexa-enabled devices around my house for years. My living room still sports a 1st Generation Echo I was lucky enough to get through the public beta way back. So when I was looking to replace the Echo in my garage in order to get better music quality while working, I started looking for an Echo that did better audio, while not sacrificing the utility. Fortunately I found this beast of a machine. I say beast, because I ordered this expecting a slightly larger than normal echo, only to discover just how wrong I was. This thing stands as tall as my 1st gen, and is 2.5x wider than my 3rd gen echo. This is without the optional subwoofer that you can also purchase. On firing it up, it also did audio tests in my space as part of the set up process to dial in the sound quality. After that I fed it some various music to test how it performed. In a three-car garage, with this mounted roughly 1/3rd of the way over, it still generated an impressive sound that was clear no matter where I was. Additionally it has the capacity to get very loud, which is great for situations where you want music while also doing loud work. The only temporary issue I found was the downward firing speaker; having this sitting on the top of a metal toolbox, when the downspeaker fired it created a tinny reverb due to the hollow metal of the toolbox. After relocating it, this went away. In all I'm quite pleased. After the initial size surprise, it's been an excellent performing asset. It's cheaper, smaller, and easier to keep clean than some other, higher-quality sound dock options, but it maintains a very crisp clear sound that I would put on par with sound docks. The option to extend it with an attached subwoofer also would take the range and quality likely above a lot of similarly priced and sized systems.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have an echo dot 3rd gen. How much better does music sound on this Echo Studio?**
A: You can't compare a dot to this. I have no idea what hearing problems people have that commented below that the dot sounds better, but that is just insane! The studio has superb sound quality! I have a Bose 300 and 500 and I just replaced the 300 with this one because it sounds that much better. I would say it is equal to the 500 in sound (less the studio's Alexa capabilities) but since it's half the price...no brainer!! It's worth every penny!!!

**Q: Can you pair with echo sub?**
A: Yes and no, beware! You can pair it with the echo sub for playing music via Alexa or from an Amazon tv or fire stick but if you hook it up to any other tv, the sun will do nothing. It is a complete waste of money if you are using it as a home theater unless you have an Amazon tv. Even the Studio by itself was aweful with my high end tv. The delay with Bluetooth meant people speaking on the tv did not sync up with their mouths and if you used an optical connection, you can not control the volume with your tv’s remote.

**Q: Can it be paired with an echo plus and an echo sub to form a stero group?**
A: No, not independently/individually to form a stereo pair, but yes in the form of a multi-room group.  The Echo Studio will only pair with the echo sub or another echo studio.  I have two echo plus units which I previously had paired with my echo sub.  When I got the new studio, I attempted to repair the speakers and the Studio will only pair with the sub, and none of my other non-studio echo devices.  You can however form a multi speaker group, and in my "everywhere" group, I currently have: 1 echo studio, 1 echo sub, 2 echo plus, 2 echo 3rd gen, and 2 echo dots. They all work great together and I have the studio set up as the master speaker.  Hard to tell it is not a true stereo pair.

**Q: Can it be linked to the original echo for multi room music?**
A: Yes! I have an original echo, and 2 original version echo dots, and I have linked my Studio to them for multiroom music.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Huge Sound, Huge Echo
*by J***Y on July 21, 2023*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These must be paired in stereo!
*by S***E on November 11, 2019*

There will be plenty of reviews for the Studio in stand alone, single speaker use. It does sound excellent that way. But if you pair two Studios and throw in the Echo Sub, that is an extraordinary composition! That is the way to do the Echo Studio! That is how I'll review it here. I decided I must pair two Studios since I had two Echo Plus's stereo paired with an Echo Sub and it sounded pretty darn good. So I had to try the Studio paired in stereo, and since I had the Sub, I threw that in too. What else am I going to do with it? The Sub added a lot to the two Plus's. I wondered would you even notice it with the two Studios? I'm here to say that you definitely notice it. You notice it's not there, I can tell you. The sound of this whole system (two Echo Studios and the Echo Sub) is quite exceptional. I would have to say it's thrilling! Yes, it costs $530 but that is bound to come down and did I tell you that it sounds incredible? It commands a respect, it really does. There is such a depth to this. The bass is deliberate and authoritative. Very punchy. It has exceptional dynamic range (at high volumes this can be startling) and the stereo image is just stunning. An enormous stage. Those 6 midrange speakers sound sweet indeed. Be sure to turn everything up in the equalizer in Audio Settings of the device in the Alexa App. This thing likes loud! It can easily handle max volume for extensive listening. You crank this up to ten and it literally takes over the room. If you can listen at that volume for awhile with this system (you must live without neighbors) you will be found with a huge smile on your face. All of Amazon's music library is now available in lossless CD quality streaming or better, which shines on this. The new celebrated 3D formats also sound excellent, though I thought there'd be more to them (Abbey Road sounded great but I didn't think it was transformed). But anything you play on this will sound exceptional. I really can't believe Amazon has taken it this far from the original Echo. Bravo! I notice that the Apple Homepod is now down to $200 at Best Buy. Would two of them paired sound better than this setup? I truly doubt it. They'd need a subwoofer and none, as far as I know, are available for it. A few things. The circling Alexa lights are now on top of the speaker. You can no longer really see them from the side, which is unfortunate. I love those lights! And two, the Studio comes with this "spatial" setting set. I recommend turning it off. In the Alexa app, go to the device and then Audio Settings and below the equalizer is that on off button for the spatial effect. I don't find it adds anything even though it really changes the acoustics. But if you want to hear music as it was recorded, leave this off. Oh, and I have to say that Amazon still does not make it super easy to set this all up. You have to start with a new or deregistered speaker. Set up each separately and then pair them. But it's anything but obvious or close to foolproof. Come on, Amazon! And I feel I must tell you that you can't connect to the Studio by Bluetooth when stereo paired. It will only play through one Studio, the first one you set up. To use the Studios in stereo pair with the Echo Sub, you can only stream. And you can only stream if you pay. Finally, then, these things are big. Really quite large. And seemingly only available now in black, though there's a gray one in Amazon's web site ads. This is not a speaker that sits demurely upon a table. It's almost as big as the Echo Sub, if that helps visualize it. But you will definitely be challenged as to its home, because that is where this will stay, like forever. Especially if you go for the whole magilla. But I urge you to at least try it (the whole magilla!). But be prepared, I guarantee you won't send them back! UPDATE: After a software update, the Spatial effect is now the preferred way, so leave it on. Turning it off now makes the music too flat. I think it may even turn off one of the mid range speakers. But something's missing! ADDENDUM: After two years, these still shine as brightly as ever. But the thing that must be emphasized is that this system of two Echo Studios and the Echo Sub is designed to take full advantage of Amazon Music’s HD streaming service, since these can work together only with streamed audio. Using that enables you to get at least CD quality audio recorded in lossless FLAC files (what Amazon calls HD, 16-bit/44.1kHz) for everything in the catalog, and Ultra HD (up to 24-bit/192kHz) available on an ever-growing list of recordings. In addition, it is also capable of playing Amazon’s (admittedly still in limited quantity) so called 3D Audio recordings (Amazon Music supports Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Reality Audio spatial audio formats). If you don’t get the Amazon Music HD package ($12.99 monthly with Prime / $14.99 without), then you will be missing out on what these speakers are designed to deliver. Amazon’s Ultra HD music must be heard on a system that supports it to be appreciated. It truly is something else in audio quality, significantly better sounding than any CD or LP. And Amazon Music’s catalog is growing by leaps and bounds every month. It is currently quite vast, even its Classical Music selection which has exploded in the two years since the Echo Studio was introduced. Using the Amazon Echo Link ($140), you could get this same quality streaming audio (or even better depending on your amp and speakers) for an existing Hi-Fi setup (at least I think you can- there seems to be some confusion about whether it supports the full 24-bit/192kHz Ultra HD), although you could not get 3D Audio with the Link. You could also use the Echo Link to attach any other sub-woofer to your Echo Studio pair but that would also require an additional amplifier thrown in. However, if you don’t have that Hi-Fi system already, these (2 paired Echo Studios and the Echo Sub) are the way to go to take full advantage of Amazon Music HD at a very favorable price. Just compare their cost to that of a good Hi-Fi system consisting of amplifier, pre-amp, two speakers and a sub-woofer as well as the Echo Link you’d need. The Echo speakers here are a definite bargain for getting excellent audio with minimal wires or fuss!
