Sound quality - well of course it's not hifi, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Very clear with good depth and a nice clear bass. No muddiness here. As supplied I find the tone spot on, but of course that is adjustable in the app. If you want room bursting volume and bass these are not going to do it for you, but for me they are unbeatable bang for buck.
PS I've also tried it on the floor on a carpet and raised up about two feet off the ground and it sounded fine under both conditions, possibly being on the floor gives it a little bit more of a heavy sound perhaps the bass is a bit weightier.
PPS you might want to know how loud it goes, if you push it to maximum it goes a bit muddled doesn't sound as nice it's probably going a bit distorted but up to 80% it performs really really well and in the average size room it would be reasonably loud not loud enough to imitate a whole Orchestra but loud enough to be classed as quite
loud by most people that's the best explanation I can give.
PPPS I was so impressed I bought a second one while the offer was still on and paired them. So now I have real stereo it's most impressive for relatively cheap items I'm listening to Mahler's Fifth Symphony, very spacious sound with the depth, wonderful double basses, as a stereo pair they seem to perform better on some classical music than they do on some pop music. For clean sound don't go above eight or nine at 10 the maximum it can get a bit muddled overloaded with slight distortions
I was particularly impressed when I opened up the box for this echo - not only is the packaging very good and makes you feel like it’s a quality product, but when I actually plugged it in it set itself up completely - even knowing my router password?!? It was a total breeze. I decided to move it to another power point and it was up and running in seconds. It is not portable as such - as it has no battery, but it is certainly easy to move around.
The sound is very full , and depending on placement can be a bit bass heavy. There isn’t much stereo imagery - I think it might be mono, but I believe it can be paired to another to create a much better sonic experience (as well as a sub apparently).
The only minor complaint from me really is that if the speaker grille gets dusty or dirty then, it is very hard to clean. Ideally, it would be nice to be able to take it apart to vacuum the grille, as it doesn’t fully suck the dust out from the outside. The other is that I’d like a more stereo sound.
It was purchased specifically to control Nanoleaf smart lighting tiles and other Thread enabled lighting fixtures which it does superbly. The set up assistant and the associated iOS app are very functional and easy to use. Adding devices and setting up routines are both simple and logical. Connecting other blue tooth devices such as phone and a Project Bluetooth turntable are also simple and stable. The sound quality out of this little device is superb for its price point with one frustrating exception. Used as a home cinema speaker with fire TV, the speaker makes a mess of all on screen dialogue. Music and effects are fantastic but for some reason all speech ends up sounding as if it is being funnelled through a drain pipe. My biggest bug bear though is that the system does not play nicely with Spotify. Despite boasting native compatibility and the facility to set up Spotify as the preferred platform, it is almost impossible to achieve that. Countless device resets uninstalling and reinstalling skills, connecting and reconnecting services, resetting preferences and permissions all fail. The Skills reviews and help forums are clogged with similar experiences. Fortunately though, connecting to other audio providers such as BBC Sounds is straightforward and seamless.
Overall I have been delighted with this purchase and how well it integrates with my digital ecosystem.
