[@dwightwilliams311]

I got the Echo yesterday, and I was amazed by its sound. This vid makes sense.

[@all.day.day-dreamer]

I actually have all of these speakers and I have them in my garage. Over the past summer I've had friends over and it's not uncommon for us to play pool and listen to music. I also have a fridge in the garage that I try and keep stocked full of beer. My friends, guests as well along with myself prefer the wide stereo sound of the 2 x Echo 4th Gens to the singular Echo studio. Also, I bought both of my Echo 4th Gens for $50 each on sale, so, $110 with tax roughly for the pair. The one thing that I think hurt your test is that the Echo 4th Gens are not spread far enough apart so your ears could enjoy and appreciate the stereophonic sound of the pair. Also, the Studio has a larger sub which you needed to compensate for in the two smaller speakers. If it's something you would have done in real life then it's how you should have tested them, so boosting the bass slightly would have been a more accurate test for you. When those two Echo 4th Gens are spread apart and in stereo, the sound is much bigger and dynamic than the single Echo Studio. I wish you could have tested these differently than in this video. Those 2 Echo's 4th Gens that close to one another is not an accurate use-case scenario. People are going to spread them apart across the room to "open-up" the sound profile of the pair. The bass is much deeper and fuller when this is done as well as the bass covers a wider area than the studio. If you can get a pair of these for $100+ tax, these are a fantastic deal for what you get.

[@g.s.3389]

​@@UTILITARIANTVUKis studio better ?

[@andrewjohnson1486]

Well, Echo Studio definitely has much more sound and this is why I would go for this. Amazon and Mediatek doing so well together for these devices.

[@terrykemp8131]

Great comparison video Martin. I have 2 Echo 4th gen. In the Alexa app I put up both the treble and bass to the maximum setting. This made a tremendous difference to the impact of the audio. To my ears, although the Studio had punchier base, it lacked the clarity and sound separation of the Echo 4th gens. I'm thinking of getting the new Echo Studio 2022.

[@jean-phil]

lol not sure what you are expecting by putting treble and bass to maximum but you should get your ears tested ;p

[@ViciousXUSMC]

I doubt that this was recorded with a static gain, and with auto gain it really hides differences between them. Static gain on recorder, and test different volume levels with both, as we didn't test things like distortion. Personally I use echo dots hooked to a small micro amp and use my own speakers. This is the ultimate solution.

[@TekWhizz]

You got it right on! The studio has better bass for sure. But the stereo separation is nice so it's hard to choose what's better to listen to. The two Echos would probably benefit from a dedicated subwoofer.

[@Jamie_D]

yes then they'd for sure win, but that adds £120 and makes the setup far more expensive than 1 echo studio

[@jordanjae]

Thansk for the video. I literally couldn't decide this. I actually like what u said about the studio being fulle round and punchier bass. I will get that thanks!!

[@BigBoss-kq8mb]

I got two echo studios and an echo SUB. I often don't even use the sub.

[@Mandrake42]

I got two of the 4th gen echos today as part of the Black Friday sale for $74 AU (Around 38 pounds). At 50% off, a pair of these was way cheaper than the studio (even with the studio also being on sale, it was still $260 AU (132 pound)). So looking forward to giving them a test out when they get here. I like the bass from the Studio, but for a much lesser price I am getting true stereo sound. I might add a sub later to beef up the bass, but this should be sweet for now.

[@rachelrowlinson6322]

Thanks for this video. Very helpful!

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

Glad it was helpful!

[@grayrabbit2211]

I have two of the Echo 4s on my nightstands in one of my condos. For ~$50 each, I can't think of a better-sounding speaker for the size. I added an external Bluetooth receiver piped into the Aux-Ins of the Echos so I can get true stereo Bluetooth audio on them from my tablet or phone. Tablet/phone control >>> Echo's built-in options. Set them up as a Stereo pair in the Echo app and the volume control on one will control the other, even when using the Aux in.

[@fredsalfa]

What about playing all 3 of them together would you get a decent sound?

[@mastersky2530]

great video! im going with the echo studio, thank you for this it has helped me make my decision!!

[@mallen2738]

Both of these devices! The echo is a nice device and I can’t wait to get the new one

[@abhaymayuravarmaa8026]

Yes sir having Echo Studio is better as it's Dolby Atmos n overall has best sound output and also adopts to acoustics of the room

[@jenicemckenzie7164]

Doesn't the Echo adapt too?

[@RodrigoPerez-qe8lt]

Hey, these days you could do a sound test of an echo sub with two echo studio and 2 echo generation 4, I would be very grateful if you did. Please and thank you.

[@Red-Rambo]

The 2 echos'' sound better than I expected but the studios is still a lot better on it's own

[@jonathanstotts]

Personally, for pleasant background music, I prefer the Echo 4th gen over my Hifi stereo setup. Bass is rich, voices are smooth, nothing grabs your attention. Perfect. I recommend anyone with these wireless speakers (Echo, Sonos, etc) use the EQ setting in the app and pull the bass back one or two clicks, and the treble by at least as much. Bump up the volume to compensate. Makes the midrange fill out a bit for a more natural full sound, less hyped/fatiguing sound.

[@FishRfun]

I've got the echo 4th generation and dissapointed in how loud it gets. I was thinking of getting the studio. Wouldn't the wattage be more on the studio?

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

The Studio is louder and does have more watts. It still doesn't go super loud though.

[@Thenoob6969]

Remember yes higher wattage can mean louder it normally does but sometimes it’s just by a bit cause the studio has 5 speakers to share that power with

[@Ril4]

I have my echo4 but should I buy 1 more or go for echo sub cause I really like to listen bass wen playing music

[@thomaspolley4977]

I work in a loud sheet metal shop next to a press brake with a loud hydraulic pump. I picked up a gen 4 echo last summer to replace my old Bluetooth speaker. I didn't didn't want to go bluetooth again, loosing connection every time I walk away from my work area. I wanted something that would connect to the company network and play music independently of my phone. The catch was that I wanted to be able to control the music and volume from my phone. Amazon echo and Amazon music does just that. The gen 4 echo isn't quiet loud enough. Some songs are adequate while others are not loud enough. Volume equalization only seems to lower overall volume. I decided the answer isn't more volume, but more speakers spread out. This evening I bought a second echo, on sale. The plan is to put one echo on one side of my work area and the other on the opposite side.

[@biggwood9119]

I agree with you

[@gunnerman1880]

I think what you forgot to mention sir is that the studio is Dolby sound and the dot's aren't. I've tried adding two dots to my studio but can't get it to work apparently you have to have two dots and a echo bass speaker. Or two studios.

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

You can't stereo pair dots with the larger 4th gen either.

[@loveistheanswer5924]

What has better sound quality the echo studio or the JBL Charge 5?

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

I've not heard the JBL Charge sorry.

[@johnmossjr1898]

Is the studio really worth it if you have a soundbar

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

Depends on how good your soundbar is but if you're not worried about the echo smarts, a soundbar is better.

[@chrisbentley8631]

Hi, Would you recommend two 4th gens and a sub over a soundbar and sub - on the same budget (approx 300), cheers!

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

For around that price, I'd recommend the edifier s350db 2.1 system over both of them.

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

Here's a video I did comparing two echo studios plus sub against the edifier s350db kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJbEgGmamJ2HoLs

[@kathryngulley431]

Can the Echo 4th gen be hooked up to my TV via optical cable?

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

It has a 3.5mm audio jack. You could connect it to the TV if your TV has a headphone socket. If not, you have to use a digital analogue converter. You can get one for around £10?

[@Citnos]

Now with two Echo studio 😈, good review btw, I think you have more play with two Echo 4th

[@medal16]

Can i connect an acho 4 Premium + echo Studio on home theater mode firestick 4k? Nice vídeo!!!

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

You need to use 2 of the same speaker for theatre mode. 2 echo studios or 2 echo 4th gens etc. You can't use different echo speakers.

[@chrisbentley8631]

Really liking these reviews! ... I have a question, currently I have 2 echo 4th gens with a projector ... I have recently acquired a majority Sierra plus soundbar and sub and these are now connected for a home cinema set up ... I feel as though the 4th gens are better?!? Sub is not as pronounced obviously but Dolby Atmos content seems better on the echos?. Are my ears deceiving me fyi, never considered myself to be any kind of audiophile so could do with your expertise! Cheers Chris

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

The 4th Gens to tend to give very clear mids, so the voices come through quite well. The Echo studio will do a better job with Atmos as it has an upward firing speaker.

[@chrisbentley8631]

That's great, will look to get the studios then on prime day ... thanks for the quick response!

I have 2 stereo sets of gen 4 one set in each bedroom and I have a single studio in the kitchen , I prefer the sound of the 4th gen, I don't know if the studio has a problem but the stereo 4th gen sound so much better.

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

I think it comes down to each individual's preference. I liked the sound of the studio over the stereo paired 4th gens but someone else may hate the sound of the studio?

[@jasminebrown-hervey1728]

@@arizaleta1 to answer your questions a little better yes they play my tv audio that comes from the Fire TV at the same time but it’s also a left and right channel as well meaning that if sound on the TV on the right side of whatever you are watching then it will come out of the right speaker and visa versa with the left giving you audio that will blow away any built in tv speakers

I have done similar $200 smart speaker comparisons with my Echo Studio on its own, my Sonos One Gen 2 on its own, and two 4th Gens in stereo pair.For that amount of money two 4th Gens are what I would personally buy.Stereo pairing speakers just makes sound that much wider and clearer.I also tried pairing a Sub the 4th Gens and it made very little difference to my ears.The Sonos had superior clarity to the Echos but the sound stage was extremely narrow with very little bass.For a very loud and bassy smart speaker pair I would be looking at two Studios IMO

[@cyub]

Thanks

[@loveistheanswer5924]

Sonos one or a echo studio wich has better sound quality?

[@mindblockandroid]

The two echo 4th gens sound somewhat harsh/bright. The studio sounds more pleasant.

[@Thenoob6969]

Some prefer bright some prefer bass heavy but videos will never represent a sound unless your in the room hearing it the 4’s are balanced but the studio is better for a sound system for movies lol but for the price of a echo 4 you can’t beat it I just got one for $64 Canadian 😆

They are good but missing the solid punchy bass. They need a subwoofer I think.

Would the 2 x 4th gens sound better playing vinyls than a studio? Trying to decide between the two options as I was to use them for the tv too.

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

I would imagine a studio would still be better? However, If you have space, I would also consider using some 2.1 powered hi-fi speakers instead. You'll get much better sound quality. A few weeks back, I posted a video comparing some Edifier S305DBs to 2 Echo Studios plus an Echo Sub. IMO, the Edifiers were much better. Watch it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJbEgGmamJ2HoLs

[@pierreunbekand7515]

you can complete them with echo sub.

[@robjd5774]

Your stereo field for the two speakers is very narrow. You’re not getting the full stereo effect like when you have the speakers father apart. Try that and judge again.

[@claudioagmfilho]

The 2 Echos sounded better from here!!!

[@CodeXana]

This is where the Echo Sub is amazing

[@L8rCloud]

The echo studio is also using its microphones to calculate the distribution of sound around the room which will become more apparent when listening to immersive and Dolby media. The two 4thGens are just dumb speakers pumping out sound with zero regard of the room. Naturally the Studio sounds better though because it's physically a bigger woofer AND heavier so it can produce slower (lower frequency vibrations) than the smaller 4thGens - The Studio has a physical advantage

[@zahidwaleed1716]

Can u connect 2 echo 4th gens to your iPhone to listen to music on Spotify

[@zahidwaleed1716]

Or even 3 echos

[@strikerhunter1914]

Great video can you use 2 echo dots and 1 echo studio for home theater setup as one group

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

You could pair them with an echo sub but not an echo studio. For the home theatre set up you need two of the same speaker. E.g. 2 echo studios, 2 echoes or 2 echo dots. Each pair will only pair with an echo sub in the home theatre set up.

[@BharathAravamuthan]

That's a shame. The echo studio is marketed initially as the only speaker you will ever need with equal woofers as the Sub. Why not Amazon allow the studio to be used as a center speaker with woofer in a 5.1 setup along with 2 echos

I liked the two Studios, but because I watch a lot of dialogue intensive shows and movies. I don't watch a lot of blockbuster movies, sports, or listen to music. So, while more bass is great for a dance party, it is distracting when trying to understand what characters are saying.

The echo 4th gen is a far better value than the cumbersome echo studio. The echo studio is a good static speaker. It's hardly transportable.
