Elevates Alexa Audio Quality to a Higher Plane!

Amazon Echo Subwoofer is an amazing performer. My primary use is to play music on demand. The best combination is a set of 3 speakers: 2) Echo Plus and 1) Echo Sub. This combination produces the perfect balance of high frequencies, accurate midrange and excellent bass.
Add this combination of 3 speakers in each of your favorite rooms and direct Alexa to “Play ... (song) on the Everywhere Group!”... since bass is non directional, it adds for each subwoofer in your house. The sound quality throughout your house is truly amazing and gets better with every new group of 3 devices you add!! See attached photos that show various Echo Subwoofers in use.
You can hide the sub under a desk, place it behind furniture or even locate it in a closet. The bass quality will amaze you. The photos show wires because I hid the subs from sight and the strong bass appears to source from the 2) Echo Plus in each room. That is why the photos show wires; each sub is hidden behind furniture.
If you use only one Echo or Echo Plus you will need to lower the subwoofer bass level through the Amazon Alexa App because the default sub output is balanced with 2) Echo Plus speakers (not one) and the bass will overpower the high frequencies and mid frequencies from one Echo or Echo Plus.
Rock On!!

This is an excellent subwoofer for your Echo Plus! Deep bass with an equalizer! Set-up and pairing was easy. Took me about 10 minutes! The only thing though was the delay in shipping. Because I live on Guam—a US Territory—-it usually takes just 5-7 days to get here. But due to the coronavirus lockdown worldwide, it didn’t get here till one month later! Future orders will not be done until normalcy resumes.

Affordable sub with some decent lows....

The sound is good for what it is. It’s an easy to pair, Basic looking subwoofer that delivers decent lows when accompanied with the Echo Studio. I will be adding a second Echo Studio very soon to give the bedroom an even fuller sound. I use this mostly for soundscapes for meditation and relaxation but on occasion we play some hip hop, some country and rock. It handles all genres nicely. The harder punchier bass sounds a bit distorted at higher volumes. This is due to the way the Bass and Treble are set up through Alexa. The sub and the Studio share settings. I believe it would be better if
The settings for sound were separate, but this speaker is a nice addition to any small to medium sized room. I recommend!

A fantastic product, really fills out the sound with an appropriate level of base (variable). And the style of the unit is also great. Very classic and blends in well. This is one of the best designed Echo units I have owned along with the 3rd gen Echo. Installation was quick and easy. My only enhancement would be the addition of WIFI ac or ax. This is a must addition for the next level of sound with an Echo system.

As an Echo fan, I'm completely happy with the sound quality for a device of this nature. You can definitely hear the stereo action, but I'm not sure it's worth it in a small room. Here's why, when you pair two new Echo Plus and the Sub, there is a definite problem with the response time. First, Echo gets confused on which should respond since there are two in the same proximity. Second, there is a delay in responding, sometimes ignoring my command (lower volume) completely. Hopefully, there is a software update that will solve the issues.

An excellent subwoofer two pair with Echo Dots!

The Echo Sub is an extremely well-made device. I have it paired with two Echo Dats in my Master Bathroom, yep, My bathroom. I put the sub inside one of the sink cabinets and mounted the Echo Dots up on the wall.
The Echo sub performs excellent in this odd configuration.
I do wish there were audio settings for the sub but the default settings do perform nicely, and I do not have any complaints.
Value, it's a little expensive and never seems to go on sale. But it does perform well for the price.

A must for Echo Show 8

When I installed a new Echo Show 8 in our living room to facilitate viewing our Blink cameras it became clear the Show was not going to provide the quality of music we enjoyed with our Riva Concert smart speaker. The answer was to move the Riva to another room and pair an Echo Sub with the Echo Show.
The quality is still not quite as good as the Riva but much improved over the Show by itself. The Echo Sub can be boomy so I had to set the equalizer on the Show to the following: Base -2/Midrange +2/Treble +1 to achieve a decent, fairly balanced, sound.
Setup was a breeze and the new paired units have been grouped with other Echo devices for multiple room/floor listening.

Great Bass but Bluetooth issues

Very impressed with the deep bass in my 2.1 setup, I have two Amazon Echo’s 2nd Gen connected to the Echo Sub. Playing Amazon Music sounds awesome, rich highs & nice deep bass. Bluetooth, unfortunately falls flat, it actually sounds worse than when just paired to one Echo. So when you create a stereo Sub Pair the Echo’s are split to left & right & the Bluetooth connection then is in mono on only 1 Echo & no sub. I contacted Amazon & they stated this is a known issue, only the listed streaming stations will work for stereo sound from a Stereo Sub Pair. The agent said he would escalate the issue to the development team.

When paired with the Echo Studio it's phenomenal.
Fills entire room with sounds that come from everywhere
So powerful I had to turn bass below zero setting
Hard to believe such a speaker this size can rival twice the price units

I have this attached to (2) 2nd Gen Echo Plus speakers for a 2.1 sound system in our master bedroom. It would very well and I do like it. The sub itself adds the low end the Echos can't deliver. That being said, it is what it is. This system won't rattle the walls. :) It did add quite a lot to the sound quality for music however and I am happy with it.

Just the perfect low frequency addition for my pair of Amazon Echo Studio speakers! Easy setup (make sure you unpair any paired speakers before you add the sub to your desired speaker pair). The only real improvement they could make is to give you a more complete equalizer menu, versus just bass, midrange, and treble.

Speakers self adjusting to room acoustics in great room with cathedral ceilings are great. Balancing audio with traditional soeakers almost impossible. Tech support w amazon terrible. Tech did not know to resolve. Got geek squad out and took them almost an hour to set up. Sound awesome. No more echo chamber effect.

I bought Echo Sub to add to my paired Echo Dot 3s in my bedroom which sounded far better than I thought could be possible and created a nice wife soundstage while remaining sneakily inconspicuous. Once I figured out that I needed to break the pair and remove the Dots from my speaker groups using the Amazon Alexa app, I was able to pair them together with Echo Sub and rebuild my speaker groups. I didn't find any considerations for this case in the instructions, so this was frustrating. But once they were all paired up, I sat on my bed and listened for hours trying every genre of music and all my favorite artists! Adding a second Dot added dimension, and then adding Sub really woke up the sound! The sound mixing is great, really gives a premium quality to it! And it's nice to still be able to interface with Alexa on my primary Dot (set different wake words for each Dot) without getting responses through all paired speakers. Also glad Alexa won't try to wake me up by sending the alarm tone through Echo Sub! Sound levels this pairing can achieve are well beyond than what I need in the bedroom; it won't ever leave you with your ears bleeding, but if you swipe too hard on the volume slider, it'll leave you wide eyed and hoping the neighbors aren't asleep. Overall, exceeded my expectations!

Sounds good, setup was easy, and haven't had any connectivity issues...lately. Initially there was an intermittent lag between the sub and the main unit. I think there was a firmware update that fixed this issue.

I love this thing.
I don’t have to turn on my entire surround system at home to hear louder music with bass. I simply have Alexa play music and this device makes a difference to hear bigger sound. It’s a must if you are a music lover.

I have two echo's connected in the living room and listen to Sirius Radio quite frequently. Sound was lacking something. Got the Echo Sub and wall-ah! Music got a big boost and the base was substantially enhanced.
I am very pleased with my purchase and Best Buy had the best price on sale.
Would recommend this upgrade for music listening.

Sounds great and adds a lot of bass to my echo show 10. Highly recommended if you want to have the echo show instead of a non display model and have the same or similar sound as the studio.

Great sound from echo

I didn’t have any issues connecting it to my echo that others have reported. It has great sound. I was actually surprised how much bass comes from this thing. Makes music sound great. I’ve only tried it with Amazon Music as that’s the only music streaming service I really use. Only things I do not like is that you can’t connect it to two different echos. I have the 1st gen show in my living room and the 2nd gen show in my kitchen. I have it set up to play downstairs audio group. Well now the one in the kitchen doesn’t play when I use the audio group downstairs because it’s a different model echo. They have to be the same model. One other issue I have now is you can’t say “ Alexa stop” to stop playing music. I don’t know what’s causing that. Hopefully they fix the issue with a software update. You have to swipe on the screen and manually stop the music.
