AMAZON HAS QUITE an extensive portfolio of smart speakers now, ranging from the inexpensive Echo Dot to the people–pleasing Amazon Echo. But the new Amazon Echo Studio is its best yet, offering the most immersive sound.
The actual design won’t be for everyone. A meshed fabric covering wraps around the curved edges of the speaker with a gap stretching across the width of the base. It also has a big circular panel around the top that houses the control buttons and has a light ring on the inside, which you can barely see at all when it’s not lit up.
THE BOTTOM LINE
If you're looking for an Alexa speaker with huge sound, that's exactly what you get here.
Like other Echo devices, there are four buttons on the control panel: two volume controls, a microphone mute button and the action button. Each one triggers the light ring, which turns red when the mic is switched off, tells you the volume level around the ring in white, goes orange in set– up mode, and lights up blue when Alexa is listening out for you.
