While it might seem crazy for a smart speaker to disappoint as a speaker, think about their intended use and it makes more sense. Most consumers buy smart speakers and smart displays as a method of voice controlling smart devices so audio understandably takes a hit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But, at least Amazon has made significant improvements to the Echo in terms of sound. You\u2019ll get a robust and punchy soundscape with heavy bass and lively higher frequencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As far as that smart home control goes, you won\u2019t get the Zigbee hub onboard as you do with Echo Plus and Echo Show. You\u2019ll nevertheless be able to take charge of all your compatible connected tech with voice commands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you want a cost-effective entry-point to Alexa, the original Echo is more powerful and attractive than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

should ask yourself if you\u2019re thinking of investing in a new Echo device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Consider_When_Buying_an_Echo_Device\"><\/span><b>What to Consider When Buying an Echo Device<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Echo range is impressive but easy enough to navigate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Focus on the following areas to simplify your buying decision:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Smart Speaker or Smart Display?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What\u2019s Your Intended Use?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What Priority Do You Place on Audio?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does Size Matter?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Smart Speaker or Smart Display?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first issue you need to resolve concerns whether you want an audio-only smart speaker or a smart display.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your primary focus is smart home control with perhaps the occasional burst of music, a smart speaker is the obvious choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For anyone who wants a <a href=\"https:\/\/homendgarden.com\/kitchen\/\">kitchen companion<\/a>, a bedside device, or some added visual edge to many applications, a smart display is the way forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Echo smart speaker range includes the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Echo<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Echo Dot<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Echo Plus<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Echo Studio<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Echo Flex<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re after a smart display, choose from the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Echo Show<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Echo Show 5<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Echo Show 8<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Echo Spot (discontinued but still available)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>What\u2019s Your Intended Use?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Linked to the above, you should give due consideration to how you want to use your device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re thinking of introducing your kids to smart tech, there\u2019s a dedicated <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/All-New-Echo-Kids-designed-Rainbow\/dp\/B07Q2MXPH6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">kid-friendly Echo Dot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> built to withstand plenty of rough and tumble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For bedroom use, a smaller Echo is ideal while if you\u2019re planning to use a smart display in the kitchen, it\u2019s worth considering one with a larger screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How much music are you planning to listen to? If you intend to give your playlists plenty of airtime, focus on Echo Studio for upscale audio. For those not likely to listen to much music, the base model is adequate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Time spent analyzing how you\u2019ll use your device at this stage can save you from wasting money on an inappropriate device.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Priority Do You Place on Audio?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As mentioned above, if music is your first love, there really is no substitute for Echo Studio. While we would hesitate to suggest this is likely to become your primary listening device, you\u2019ll certainly enjoy a robust sound that won\u2019t disappoint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We understand that many people are not buying Echo devices for the music. If your sole interest is Alexa and the hands-free assistance she can offer, any Echo device will serve a turn.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Does Size Matter?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are smaller Echo devices like Echo Dot, Echo Spot, and Echo Show 5 that all work well when space is at a premium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The larger speakers and displays come into their own for the living room or anywhere else that you have ample space.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3a231162 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3a231162\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-65ed8f6b\" data-id=\"65ed8f6b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-229f0351 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"229f0351\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Final_Word\"><\/span>A Final Word<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f86300a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7f86300a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Well, we hope you now have a clear idea of which Echo device makes most sense for you.
