Great sound quality. I have a pair of these which I set up to perfor Great sound quality. I have a pair of these I set up to to perform as left and right stereo speakers joined with an Amazon subwoofer. I have a third at my bedside, which also sounds great solo. I bought this third one on sale for $60 and placed at my bedside which also sounds great solo, and better set up as a group with my Show 8. The non OEM wall mounts were sold separately, just fyi. The cons are the typical Amazon issues of Alexa not understanding your voice or not executing the command.

The Echo 4th Gen is pretty much exactly what it is advertised to be. There's definently an improvement in sound quality over the previous generations of the device, but my issue never really had anything to do with the sound quality of the Echo as a whole but more the incompatibility of the Alexa platform to talk nicely to non- Amazon speakers. Good quality for the price.

The device works great, my only problem with it is it it’s not very accurate on picking up your voice at various intervals and you might have to repeat yourself. But other than that, it’s a great assistant device to have.

Easy setup and great companion for operation of multiple electronics spaced throughout the apartment. Great for shutting down the house with ease late nights.

Sound quality is great compared to the echo dot versions. Just wish it didn’t cost so much. It fits perfect within my lamp so it’s pretty well hidden.

This was my first Alexa home speaker and was disappointed at first, but have grown to love it. My kid gets a kick out of speaking with it and its very convenient for other notifications like alarms, ring notifications and just playing music. Only downside is that its not cordless

I like the product but im still learning and trying to use it to get the best music i like.

I loved this has it for a year already and haven’t had any problems would definitely recommend getting one. is also loud enough if you like to listen to music

I've grudgingly allowed Alexa devices into the home; couple of dots at first. I got hooked on linking my Apple Music to the Alexas. As a man who remembers cassette tapes, I'm still impressed being able to play anything from George Winston to Captain Beefheart by just saying it. This unit is loud. Provides a deep bass. It doesn't look out of place in the room. The equalizer controls are very basic, this is not a Sonos experience but it's absolutely worth the spend.

This is my first full size Echo. I have a 2nd gen Echo Dot and a 3rd gen Echo Dot, so that’s really what I’m comparing this to. So far I’ve been a little unimpressed with it. The sound quality is good and it gets nice and loud, plus I love the new spherical shape. But as far as interacting with Alexa, this is where I have some trouble. If I don’t speak her name clearly and loud enough, she won’t recognize me. With my 3rd gen Echo Dot, I was able to say her name very casually (like a loose conversation with a buddy) and she would hear me — even when speaking at a low volume level and listening to loud music. Maybe that’s due to the new non-360 design? Also, I’ve had some trouble with the Alexa app recognizing my Samsung TV. I was able to turn it off with my Echo Dot, but haven’t been able to do so with the Echo yet. That being said, I mainly just use it to listen to music when I’m in my room. Not sure if that’s worth even the $80 sale price...

The 4th gen Echo was purchased to provide music from radio stations and other sources. The 4th gen Echo Enhanced Sound upgraded the pleasure of music. You can tell Alexa to play classic, pop, Christmas and other types of music or to play a certain radio station. You can have our arms full and tell Alexa to report the weather. A big plus is the away feature. It acts like a security system. Alexa listens for any alarm for a smoke or CO detector or any sounds like breaking glass. She will notify me if something happens. Another plus is if you have multiple Echo dots you can play music throughout the house and also announce things like dinner or if you have company that has come. Negative – the power cord is white instead of charcoal matching the Echo and many times does not respond to a voice.

Sound quality is great as is voice recognition. It's great for a living room or any larger room without taking up much space at all like a large speaker would. The sound is pretty powerful and clear. With an Amazon Prime account, I don't know why the Alexa app every so often tries to sell a subscription to various other programs. We had to buy a plan for access to a larger music library. The Alexa app can be minimally glitchy like any app, but for what you get, this is worth the price.

Great sound. Size is nice because it’s small. Very easy to use and easy to add apps to it.

Has good sound quality and easy to use. Its design fits with any decor

Great sound and so easy to hook up. Takes a small amount of space in a room.

I received this item as a gift and was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality. Small in size but the sound is plentiful! I am enjoying my Echo sound system and Alexa!!

I've been watching this for some time, I'm glad I finally got it. I have always bought the smaller hockey puck echo dots which works for me as ASMR and rain sound sleep machines. Then last year, I bought the new echo dot that is round like this one, I thought it would be an improvement to playing music, but I was not as impressed. However, this bigger echo brings more bass to many of the music I play, a surprisingly decent amount. I also like the modern look of it. There is so much to say, but others have said it already and best.

Interesting product. It has a unique design I like the fact that it came in 2 colours. Light grey and charcoal. We took the light grey fit in our décor. We took the light grey fit in our décor. The sound is great. It was fun to watch my wife learned to use it. She started yelling Rachel Rachel instead of Alexa. We occasionally can't remember the right name. It is amazing that you can name any music genre and Alexa will find it and play it, and you don't have to subscribe to any extra service.

easy set up and sounds really good. much better looking than original Echo.

Got this for $54.99 on sale when it's usually $99 even directly from Amazon. Decent sound for its size. If you want great sound then go for the Echo Studio.
