Amazon Echo Dot Max (newest model), Alexa speaker with room-filling sound and built-in smart home hub, with Alexa+ Early Access, Glacier White

The Best Dot Ever!
I love the Dot Max. Especially, the different colors are nice👌🏽. I got the purple 🟣 one. It sounds crystal 🔮 clear. It fits perfectly in a certain spot next to my Bed 🛏️. I wish 🙏🏽 this one had the time like the others, but it’s ok. I know it’s coming, 😆. The features are even better. I like that you can setup easier and the buttons are on the front instead of the top. The cost is not bad at all. It works well with the Alexa+. She’s faster than ever and her response is even better. She talks to you like a real person does, wow 😳. You’re going to love this Dot Max and I highly recommend it. I might get another one 😜.

Excellent item!
So much improved over the 1st Version round tower Alexa device. The music quality is really improved, the + feature allows you to ask questions in regular questions ways, not as it was ~ very specific or you didn’t get an answer, plus it it has AI ability. Also, Alexa sounds like a real person too. I haven’t come anywhere close to using the device for all it will do, but I’ll add its connectivity ability as time goes on, no sense in buying connectable items before their normal life span. I did try a remote but it didn’t work as advertised (separate item) so I sent it back, unneeded. I only wanted it so I didn’t have to yell over Alexa when she was playing music to make a change, the new model if very sensitive.The Echo Dot Max inspired me to replace my old bedroom Echo Dot with the new model…I dumped my old clock radio the first day.

Good speaker
Purchased this to replace a 1st generation echo spot which is not compatible with new Alexa+ format. It worked fine, but never had great sound like many of the echo devices do. I have multiple echo devices including several 1st generation shows, echo 15, echo 5, echo 8, echo dots and echo studio. The 1st generation shows (which still work great but are not Alexa+ compatible), the echo 8 and echo studio speakers have exceptionally good sound quality. The echo 15 sadly does not which is a bummer considering the price and otherwise beautiful screen. The dots are hit or miss. I have one in the garage that sounds wonderful, but others sound like an inexpensive bluetooth speaker. So far, this Echo Dox Max is good, but not great. I haven’t used it solely for listening to music or as a part of a speaker group which is where I really like having multiple echo devices. I’ve been listening to audiobooks and today show radio on SiriusXM and the sound is ok, nothing to brag about. In my opinion it is nowhere near as good as the Echo studio, but it’s a lot more affordable. I had the first generation Echo speaker (tall cylinder) and it was an amazing speaker that rivalled Bose/Sonos. The newer studio speakers are also very good sound wise but look so similar to the dot they are hard to distinguish. The Echo Dot Max came connected to my house setup which is nice. It’s plug and play.

The sound is really good compared to other Echos and after a couple days I do like Alexa+ for the few things I’ve asked. I also like the idea it can act as an external speaker for firestick-fuelled TVs. At less than the price of a decent sound bar for a pair (on sale at least) – it may feel like a waste of horsepower to put them together in the same room, but I’m considering it. An option with just a good speaker and no Alexa that can connect to this one? That’s what I’d love to see next, I’d put pairs of those in a few rooms. The sound? Top end great, it does lose power in low freqs as you’d expect by the size. Mine is in the same room as the good stereo that is also connected to my tv. For a device I don’t have to switch between, the sound is more than acceptable and a big step up from the dot it replaced.

Great sound and easy to setup.
