Alexa is still great and will work as advertised but having a built-in Zigbee hub makes it that much more versatile. A local Zigbee hub, for those that don't know, doesn't require a data connection to connect with compatible devices like the Philips Hue lights, for instance. You can also pair two Echos to create a stereo pair and use it with your TV.Īnother interesting thing about the Amazon Echo is that it comes with a built-in Zigbee smart hub.
It's also fairly easy to pair a bunch of these Echo speakers to create a group and play music on all of them simultaneously. You can easily pair it with your Android phone or an iPhone via the Alexa app and start using it. The Echo, of course, comes with full support for Alexa, meaning you can use your voice to interact with Amazon's digital voice assistant to play music, get information from the web, control your smart home devices, and more. You can easily place one of these in each room of your house. It's not too small like the Echo Dot, nor is it obnoxiously big like the Echo Sub. The move to a spherical design does mean the new Amazon Echo speaker is a lot wider than any of its predecessors, but the overall form factor of the Echo (4th gen) is perfect for most setups and rooms. The new spherical ball design looks pretty neat, with the controls laid on top for easy access. The design of this Echo, as you can see, is also a lot different from some of the previous cylindrical Echo speakers. Its audio output is not nearly as powerful as the Echo Studio, but there's still plenty to like, especially for its size and the asking price. As we mentioned in our Amazon Echo (4th Gen) review, it's worth the extra spend over the Echo Dot for music lovers because it packs a punch with its three-speaker setup delivering big sound. It's perfect for those who are looking to pick up a reliable smart speaker that also sounds good. There's no shortage of Echo speakers on the market but the Amazon Echo (4th Gen) is the one we recommend to most people.
