I hope everyone knows that you can play music from your phone to the stereo pair and the sub. and every echo device in your home. It's very easy to setup as long as all of the devices are on the same wifi network. I have never been able to bluetooth to more than any one device at a time from my phone. You can setup 2.1 stereo sound. You can setup an everywhere group. You can include the 2.1 stereo into the everywhere group.

Heya Stu. Well what can I say? After watching your video on the Amazon Sub I decided to buy one. I am pleased I did watch your review as I was prepared for the arduous task of getting it to work. Oh my goodness what a lot of faff it was! The Amazon App picked it up straight away and a room pair was made. But the sub still did not work. Grrrr. It really was why doesn't it work? Eventually after looking at the Amazon help page, it turns out you have to connect the sub to the router as well as the app. Now we have success! Time taken, 20 minutes! But it was so worth all the hassle because it sounds amazing! At low volumes, it reinforces the sound the Echo gen 3 doesn't quite have. But at higher volumes it can shake the walls and windows! Absolutely fabulous. I am a happy bunny bouncing all round the living room 😀😀 Thanks for your review and keep up the good work. Lisa xx

Heads up, Echo Plus has been discounted by 47% ($80 US dollars) this past week and Amazon Prime Day I believe is scheduled for August which can make some huge impacts as well. Mid July 2020 as of now I expect Amazon to promote their devices during Prime Day and do some x-mas shopping and IF you spend enough all echo devices should be discounted even more.

@Lachlant19845 жыл бұрын
Since it's possible with some Bluetooth speakers such as the UE Boom to pair multiple speakers together for stereo sound, it would in theory be possible to play sound to 2 Echo units via Bluetooth, but it's more complicated because I suspect the Echo Sub has Wi-Fi only and no Bluetooth, and there may be audio lag issues introduced into the system if you were able to pair them all up to the same device via Bluetooth. Have you asked Amazon/sent feedback to them about stereo/2.1 Bluetooth audio playback? It personally wouldn't bother me too much as I'd far rather use Alexa/Wi-Fi music streaming to my devices, rather than Bluetooth, but I can see the problem for some. Have you used a pair of Google Max speakers before? If you have, do you know if you can use 2 Max speakers via a Bluetooth connection to one host device?
@StusReviewsUK5 жыл бұрын
I think because there has been quite a few reviewers who have published content about the Bluetooth, they’ll get the hint quote quick! And no, I’ve not yet tried the google max!
@Lachlant19845 жыл бұрын
OK. I also understand that if you set the audio socket on the Echo Plus to input mode, you can only have music playing on one speaker, as is the case with Bluetooth connections. If Amazon were to allow stereo playback when feeding audio into the Echo Plus via the audio cable, there will be lag, no questions asked, because the unit would be sending audio over your wireless network, so the Echo devices really aren't great for playing audio from a TV or video game system etc.

Now comes my plea for help in return for my positive response to your review... I really liked the music you played from TuneIn and found the station on my TuneIn app. But even though I use TuneIn regularly on my echos Alexa keeps saying that “Lagunas-no-copyright-music” doesn’t exist on TuneIn, help! I really do want to hear the station through my echos but Alexa is being a bit*h and denying me that pleasure. Any tips you may be able to offer to solve the problem would be really appreciated.

BE WARNED. it definitely is copyright, so I found out when I tried to monetise this vid! 😂 It’s a bit tricky to get to- but you’ll get there. I just checked that now to see if it works, and if you follow that you’ll get to the station 👍
