Amazon Echo Sub-Woofer Where do I start? At this point I am here to say this is a GREAT product, well worth the money. Five Stars for sure. But I digress... I started out with an Amazon Echo, first generation, paid nearly $100 for it, but was quite pleased with its performance. I was very pleased with the sound output of that small device. I liked it so much I bought another for another room. Being an Amazon Prime member, I started listening to music from Amazon. Again, pleased - and I decided to add the unlimited subscription to Amazon Music. I have a traditional stereo system - two speakers, an amplifier, and a CD player. I got to thinking I would like to feed the Amazon music into the stereo and researched the subject on the internet. Turned out to be stupidly simple. I bought a third generation Dot, now less than $50, and a simple adapter cable. The cable plugged into the output jack of the Dot and into the right and left stereo inputs on my amplifier. I had to do a little volume adjustments of the Dot and of the stereo amp to get the levels right - but that was a five minute exercise, and suddenly I had beautiful music in full stereo. But in researching the stereo bit, I discovered something else interesting on the internet - that it was simple to set up two identical Echo units to give full stereo. Well, I have two identical first generation Echos. So I tried it, setting up in a different room. A note here - it is unlikely that most of us could ever set a stereo pair up without some very simple instruction from the internet. You have to use the Amazon app on a smart phone. But with that instruction it is a very simple exercise. I did it. And it sounded great. And that’s also about when I discover the existence of the Amazon Echo Sub-Woofer. OK. I admit at first I was skeptical. How could a six inch diameter speaker generate significant base? But then how could a tiny Amazon Echo Dot sound so terrific? But they do. The gold standard for bass performance for many is the piece, “Thus Spake Zarathustra” by Richard Strauss. To quote Wikipedia, “The piece starts with a sustained double low C on the double basses, contrabassoon and church organ.” This corresponds to a tone of some duration at a frequency of 32 hertz. Only higher end classic stereo systems will deliver this tone. In most, it plays as a low level buzz that would be obnoxious were it any louder. So OK. I pulled up the specs on the unit. Hmm. Goes to 30 hertz at minus 6 db. You know, that ain’t bad! And you could goose up the low end a bit with the equalizer in the Amazon app. The built in 100 watt amplifier and cross over network built into the sub-woofer help a lot. Hmm. OK, I went ahead and ordered it. And immediately discovered that at the time there was a 4 week wait for delivery. The unit did show up as promised, and I was anxious to get it going. A comment here: normally I am rather contemptuous of “unpacking” videos on the internet. But, the packing and packaging of this unit is a performance art master class on how it should be done. I will say no more on that subject except that I was hugely impressed. Setting it up was mostly easy - but NOT as easy as the Amazon site suggests. The main issue is that if you integrating it into an existing stereo pair of Echo units, as I was, first you have to unpair the existing units, then rebuild with the addition of the sub-woofer. Very simple to do on the app - but NOT intuitive. Again, the internet is your friend. I easily found simple instructions and proceeded - and five minutes later had everything networked and playing. It sounded OK, but honestly not all that terrific. Certainly not what I was expecting. Playing “Thus Spake Zarathustra” was, frankly, disappointing. But, I have had experience with base woofers before, and had a suspicion it wold improve. It seems such speakers need to be used a bit to loosen up to reach their desired performance levels. I am very happy to report that this proved to be exactly the case. After a few hours, the speaker was clearly doing better. A few days and it was sounding great. And today, I was sitting in my chair listening to Hans Zimmer’s sound track for “The Dark Knight”, a piece I had played several times before. But this time, it seemed like the whole room was shaking from an outstanding base source. I was astounded - and hugely delighted! I am truly pleased. A closing note - truly serious audiophiles are guaranteed to turn up their noses at this system. I am talking about the people that only use virgin vinyl records for a music source, heavy oxygen free copper cables to the tube amplifier with heavy iron transformers, huge engineered bass reflex speakers or the like etc. etc. Good for them - and perfection has its price. But for us lesser mortals who love music, the Amazon system offers a quality system offering a lot of pleasure at a modest price.

** I honestly do not know what all of the negative reviewers are doing that makes this so hard to set up???? When I originally purchased this, I had it paired with my Echo Show, which was ok, but decided I wanted to see what it sounded like when it was paired with two echos. I unpaired it from the show, paired it to the first echo, at which time it asked me what was the second device. I picked the 2nd echo, and then it asked me to choose left side and right side. I named my echos left and right just to make life easier to figure out which was which. The two echos are on an upper shelf in my tv cabinet (a little above head level when sitting). The sub sits on the floor directly in front of the cabinet, so I guess I am getting two walls worth of revurb off of it. We run the volume between 3 and 5 most of the time. I am amazed that even when I have it cranked up, a normal voice request to Alexa kicks on the listening mode and mutes the music temporarily, something that never worked with the Echo Show without yelling if I had the music loud. I guess my only advice is follow the prompts, dont try to work ahead. It should take you less than 5 minutes to plug in, power on, and pair everything. I have had ZERO issues with it. I found setup easy, performance was actually surprisingly good, and any questions I had Amazon was very responsive too! Funny, reading comments and I am glad I bought mine before a lot of the negative reviews came up, or I might not have even tried it. I love it! MOST of the negative complaints are about things that were in the ORIGINAL AD for this product, and yet people are surprised. Amazon was very clear that at release, it was music only (not tv), that it was designed to work with the std echo gen 2 or echo plus, NOT dots and shows (although I do have mine working on the Show), no bluetooth (again, read the ad)... It is a great sub to use for music. It has enough kick sitting on the floor in the corner of the living room to get a nice bass reflex throughout the room. Took me about 15 minutes to set it up following the guide. I did wind up buying a pair of echo's that will be in later this weekend, and the Show will get moved somewhere else if the sound is worth the change! For the price, and if you have at least an Echo or Echo Plus (or Show, in my opinion), you will like it. Update 11/25... This thing is crazy... people can't believe its an echo setup :) We listen to music, a LOT. I have the two echos in the entertainment center up on opposite corners, and the sub is on the floor in the corner of the unit. The responsiveness of the echos even when the music is cranked is amazing, I loved this thing from the get go, and its only getting better!!!

Am updating my initial review to give the Sub a much better score. It fell off the network and I woke it up again. then I found that the Alexa app now includes the ability to adjust the volume for the Sub and it performs much better. I am pretty happy with the changes they made. I have Eco's in every room of my house and all my lights are automated. In the kitchen I have a dot and a spot. In the great room we have two dots and a spot as an example. Currently I have 30+ switches functioning on my wireless network controlled via voice and Alexa. In fact, the freedom to design lighting solutions that do not require physical access has allowed me to create unique lighting solutions that have no physical switch. I received my Eco first generation before they were for sale to the public on Amazon and it is still in daily use. I know how the devices function and how to setup and operate them. I read the instructions for the Sub and fully implemented them. When I saw the warning label over the power port on the device, I was convinced that the setup needed to follow the proper sequence to function correctly. I executed the instructions for the auto setup on my wireless network. It completed but the sub did not function. The light changed state and all looked great however it would not pair. Since the device is passive - there is no obvious way to test its function via the app - I concluded that it had not connected properly to my network. I executed the same setup sequence two more times with the same results. I cycled the power for 30 seconds between attempts to ensure it was in the right state when I executed the setup. On the fourth setup attempt, during the setup the app told me that the automatic setup was not completing and I should follow the manual setup. Which I did. Twice. I depressed and held the command button till the orange light was illuminated, then I linked to the device directly via my iPhone wireless setup commands, it came right up and they connected. I executed the setup on the Alexa app, entered my password to the wireless network and it failed to give any indication that it was functioning and still would not pair. I attempted the manual setup again and it did say it was connected. I successfully paired it with my Eco plus. It said it was happy. I started Pandora on the paired Eco plus and no sound came out of the Sub. I tried a different song and this time sub did function however the volume was so low that I had to physically touch the sub to be certain that it was actually working. It was. I then turned up the volume on the Eco plus and the base was there but my first thought was its too low and I wanted to turn it up. I have not figured out how to adjust the bass volume yet but my first reaction was "why don't they put a volume knob on the sub?" Its highly desirable to be able to manually adjust the bass for the tune or conditions and there is no knob. I have lived with the setup a couple of days and it does seem to be working. But: 1) The base volume is so low when I have the Eco plus playing at the volume I want that I generally cant hear the sub. 2) I wanted to pair it with my garage Eco Dot which is driving my stereo but this option is not available. It seems like a natural pairing. The Dot provides the highs and mid range and the sub does its low thing. Also, I drive two stereo systems in the house with Dots for streaming and they work great as the music source. I want to add the sub to that configuration but its not supported!? Makes no sense to me. My desired use of the sub was to be able to stream Amazon music via the dot connected to my stereo. I wanted to be able to add more bass to that combination. I also have the same stereo connected to my Apple TV and can stream my 15000 songs through the Stereo and its attached subwoofer which works ok. I wanted to be able to stream directly via the dot/sub combination so I did not need to reconfigure my system just to play music for an hour while working. But the current limitations on the design make that awkward at best and I probably will not use it much until it is more fully developed. After a week, it lost sync and no longer functions. Its going back.

It's not even close to our $500 SRS ported 10" sub, but it's not even in the same echelon, to be honest, so it's not worth comparing. I do have an Energy ported 8" sub that I purchased about a decade ago, that it can be compared to. To ensure the Energy sub doesn't sound terrible, I have to set the Energy sub's cross-over to the minimum setting (there is no LFE for this sub, only component-level inputs). The Echo Sub, by comparison, seems to be set very well, mostly pumping out very low frequencies. From the Echo Sub I was honestly only expecting a modest upgrade; I was expecting to want to return it right away, actually. That's not the case. Even in the same room where we have our 10" SRS sub, it emits clear, accurate low-frequencies that fill both the room it's in and the adjacent dining room and kitchen (open floor plan). Our family-room group consists of our family room sound-bar (hooked up to a 2nd-gen Echo Dot, as well as SRS 10" sub and Energy 8" sub), kitchen Echo (which is actually situated right at the border of the family-room/dining-room, on the family-room side of the partition. I was expecting so many different devices to compete and not sound harmonious (at best) or cancel each other out (at worst). The subs had to be phased to prevent cancellation, but the rest of the speakers, playing together, allow for a very nice room-to-room experience! We listen to classical music during dinner and hear it in the dining from from all angles, which has a very nice affect. While cleaning, I don't have to turn up the family Echo Dot-to-sound-bar (and sound-bar/subs), because the other Echos (and Echo Sub) compliment the family-room speakers nicely, allowing for (again...) room-to-room transit with relatively consistent sound. The benefit to this: turning up the family room set (Echo Dot-to-sound-bar and Subs) causes some low-frequency reverberation in the kitchen and other areas of the house (e.g., the bathroom). With it at a lower volume and the Echo Sub providing the low-frequency response for the kitchen and dining room area, things sound much better. If we're solely hanging out in the dining room or kitchen area, I don't even feel the need to turn on the family room Echo Dot (and etc.). The output from the Echo and Echo Plus in the area, supplemented by the Echo Sub, sounds great. If you're expecting this to sound like a $500 sub, you're delusional. If you're looking to add a very nice upgrade to the low-frequency output of your Echos or Echo Plus' easily, then this is your sub. Installation: I've got very low patience and expect things (especially from Amazon) to be top-notch, and found myself only MILDLY frustrated setting this thing up - the Echo Sub took maybe four times longer than any other Echo (we have 7 total) to setup, but it really isn't that bad. The setup of this will DEFINITELY be revised to help out those who frustrate easily or who aren't savvy enough to figure things out on their own, but most people who have even a rudimentary set of tech skills shouldn't have a problem. Setup: 1. Mine did not go into pairing mode right away. I had to press and hold the single button on the Echo Sub for MORE THAN the instructed SIX (6) seconds for the dot to turn orange. Note: You can't SEE the color of the LED, because it's in the center of the button and obstructed by the finger you're pressing it with...while pressing. Kinda dumb ... 2. Once the sub was in pairing mode (orange light on the sub lit), things went swimmingly, using the app. This is the ONLY part that I had an issue with, since the included instructions were OVERLY simplistic and didn't cover it. If anyone wants a more detailed how-to, just comment below and, if someone hasn't already provided one online, I'll do so.

When it and the speakers it pairs with work, this sub works overtime and is surprisingly good for its size. Unfortunately you pair this sub with echo studio speakers and here is my review of those, including this subwoofer. I really want to love these. Quite simply, if they worked consistently, I would, but it has been almost a day to day effort to keep 2 studios and the sub working as either a music player and or as a home theater set up paired with firestick 4k max. Music played from Amazon music (the only way to enjoy atmos and 3d music, a major selling point of these) often stops for no reason when it never has on any other device, even the lesser model echos. (My WiFi signal is extremely strong throughout the house.) sometimes it says ok, it will play “xyz” and then doesn’t. Often the left speaker has almost no sound coming from it. I have to unplug it for a minute to fix it. The sub sometimes fails and produces no sound. Same fix. When they cooperate, they play well from the firestick and are surprisingly effective as entry theater speakers, but getting other devices such as Xbox or regular tv to play through the echoes is spotty at best and an absolute nightmare. When I’ve called tech support I know more than them just from my own research, so it’s zero help. I have spent an INSANE amount of time trying to find the problems, certainly more than any casual customer ever would. If you look these issues up on forums, well, that’s just the way it is. There is no fix for these problems which means an incomplete, inconsistent product was put out and at this price point that’s just criminal. I am so disappointed in Amazon. I have had almost every other echo and accepted their limitations but always enjoyed what they could do. We all read negative reviews and wonder if that particular person is just unhinged or has a chip on their shoulder. This isn’t that. I’ve been tinkering with home theater and sound all my life. I can typically figure out what’s wrong, but not here. You probly want to know about the sound? I’ve also been around good sound my whole life. I knew this was a downgrade but was fine with it for space and aesthetic reasons as well as multi room sound. They sound fine if not good. Won’t blow you away but they sound nice. They have gimmicks like poor man’s atmos and spatial enhancement and I found these to be fun additions if not universally effective or noticeable. In short, if they worked consistently, I would adore these little things for what they are. I almost didn’t post this. Then I turned on the firestick to a black screen. After I fixed that, the remote wouldn’t adjust the volume on the echo studios and I’m so fed up I decided to let others know. I gave up a hardwired theater system for these and it was a complete mistake. Having friends over for a game or a movie and stressing about whether or not your system will work or you’ll have to trouble shoot is unacceptable.

I love my new STUDIO ECHO DOT, but adding this SUB to it made it AWESOME. Pairing to the STUDIO DOT was a PAIN IN THE @ss , but once it was hooked up/paired, it was a great addition to my music room. I have a new Onkyo receiver/Onkyo 5-disc changer, BIC 1200-watt SUB, a Brennan B3+ and 2 pairs of Elac speakers, yet almost evertime I listen to music, the convenience of the STUDIO DOT/ SUB wins over the Onkyo setup. If you buy one, place the SUB on your floor close to the ECHO DOT; it sounds so much better than keeping it on top of the table or cabinet

Had to add something after reading some recent reviews - My Dots knew The Echo Sub was coming and once it arrived and was plugged in, it took maybe 30 seconds for it be recognized and another minute to pair everything up. Your experience may differ, but that's how it went for me. The Echo Sub, it turns out, is vital to your Alexa Echo Dot setup if you want to actually enjoy the music you are streaming. It turns what is a pretty decent little set up for quiet music or background sound into a full blown system that can rock your world. Or jazz it or rap it or country it. Whatever it is you like. The sound produced by the Echo Sub is full, rich and room filling. I absolutely love it. It is rather hefty. Your dog probably won't be knocking it around. It is large and round. If your sofa is against a wall, this won't fit back there. (my original intention) Allow me to share with you a few thoughts and tips concerning the Echo Sub matched with the Echo Dots. Let me describe the environment first - Smaller home (1000 sqft) with wood floors. I believe the wood floors play a major role in the sound I'm able get from this set up. 3br, living room with dining area, bath and galley type kitchen. The LR and dining area are really just one large room. The setup (so far) - 3 Echo Dots (3rd gen) and the Echo Sub. 4th Dot is on its way as well as an Echo. So I've paired 2 of the Dots with the Sub for the living room and 1 Dot in the master BR. By creating 2 groups (LR and Master) and making the wake word for the LR 'Computer' and leaving the Master as the default Alexa, I can control them separately. I can talk to one set or the other without messing with the other. By enabling the multi-room music function, and creating a 3rd group (placing the first two groups into it) named Everywhere, I can fill my entire house with music just by saying "Alexa, play smooth jazz Everywhere." for example. Now the good stuff. Alexa tip #1. Your Dots are not anything close to being "dynamic" right out of the box, but you can help them a bit. Try to set them on something hollow. I've got one sitting on a small table which has a drawer and the other on an end table which is a cabinet. In the bedroom the Dot sits atop a dresser. That makes a huge difference right off the bat. Tip #2 Make sure the Dots are opposite each other and the Echo Sub as near to center between them as possible. Tip #3 Use these three songs and adjust the equalizer by voice commands by saying "Alexa, set bass (or midrange, treble) to..." and chose a value from -6 to +6. Lazy by Deep Purple. This song is nothing but bass. Next, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. This song gives you an incredible range of notes and sound. Lastly, Mozart's Symphony No. 41 Jupiter. This is for the fine tuning. You can always tell Alexa to reset the equalizer at anytime and start over if need be. Once you have your EQ set, you're ready to go. And the sound is incredible. I've got a set of old school speakers I've had for over 30 years that are top notch paired with a Sony receiver and this Echo setup can rival them. Not in total volume level, but certainly in quality. It truly is amazing. And while they won't peel paint off your walls, they are more than capable of providing music for a party. Loud enough that you can't talk over them comfortably and given the right time of night and music, get the cops to show up. If you're into that sort of thing. I can't wait for my fourth Dot to arrive so I can group 4 Dots with the Echo Sub (with an Echo replacing the Dot in the bedroom) and create a pseudo-surround environment throughout the house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Echo Sub (and Dots) to anyone looking to add great sound and flexibility to their home audio system. I'd give the Echo Sub a 6th star of I could.

Conceptually, this does a nice job of taking your existing echos and making them sound better. It's smart in that when this is paired, your Echo automatically applies an appropriate high-pass filter, meaning it'll leave most of the bass for the subwoofer. The result is a noticeably cleaner sound both high and low, now that the smaller Echo can focus on mids/highs rather than trying to do it all. In multiple rooms/setups, the sub always integrated impressively into the sound. It does a nice job of blending in and not drawing attention to itself, which is the sign of a proper calibration. I was also pleased with the low-end extension and the lack of boxiness/boominess. If not for other issues, I'd be quite happy with this and recommend it. It's a genuinely good upgrade from your Echo speaker alone (less so if you already have a Studio). First the small problem: there is delay when you start playing and stop playing. Fraction of a second, but noticeable, and mildly annoying. Initiate a voice command and your speaker attenuates or stops, but the sub will keep playing at volume for a bit before it gets the hint. Not a deal breaker, but not ideal. The bigger problem is that it only functions as another Echo device. That is to say, if you ever want to use your Echo as a bluetooth speaker, the sub will not work with it. The sub is only interested in doing Alexa-sanctioned work. This is especially problematic because for whatever reason, pairing this Echo Sub with the Echo Dot in my master bathroom made Spotify even less reliable than the imperfect reliability it had before adding the sub. It used to be only occasionally that my Dot wouldn't play well with Spotify--after pairing the sub, it almost never works. Then, out of frustration, I tell my Echo to pair to my phone to play as a bluetooth speaker... unfortunately, doing so disables the sub. Back to square one. Now this fancy subwoofer is useless. Works great when Alexa and Spotify play well together--but for whatever reason, they're even less likely to work after pairing the sub. One step forward, two steps back. This sub costs as much as a comparable 'conventional' sub, but it's inherently limited by design. It'll only ever work with Echo devices, and questionably at that. If you just want better sound quality from an Echo device, I'd probably recommend going with the Echo Studio. They're a satisfyingly bassy speaker by themselves. If you're looking for an even fuller, more articulate sound with room-shaking bass, you're much better off connecting an Echo to an external amplifier and speaker setup. Unfortunately, since the last couple generations of Echos have removed the 3.5mm output, that means either using bluetooth pairing (an imperfect solution in its own regard), or buying an older Echo (which is what I did in my garage). I know some self-absorbed "audiophiles" out there will scoff at the idea of using an Echo as essentially a pre-amp, but you make the best with what you can do (without buying those overpriced Echo Links). The output on an older Echo will do a perfectly fine job for 99% of people in 99% of listening environments. In summation, the idea of an Echo "theater" was kind of appealing to me at first. Echos tend to be pretty good sounding speakers for the money. Unfortunately, operation just isn't as smooth as you'd hope. Even when they work as intended (certainly not a guarantee), you'll still have to get used to these little odd delays etc. that remind you that the speakers are communicating with each other over the network/internet rather than being orchestrated by one device for perfect cooperation. Plus, they'll only ever work in this one very-specific environment, whereas a set of passive speakers and an amplifier/receiver will work with pretty much anything you can throw at it. The Echo Sub/Echo Theater idea was fun to play around with, but I just can't recommend it. Too many rough edges. But, like I mentioned earlier, if you like the way your single Echo works but just want it to sound bigger and louder, I'd recommend looking at the Echo Studio instead of adding this.
