The Echo Studio brings high-quality, room-filling sound to the Alexa smart ecosystem. Despite the gimmicky 3D audio capabilities, the affordable price redeems the Echo Studio, making it one of the better high-end smart speakers around...

Excellent audio, Alexa smarts, Hi-res audio, Relatively affordable, Works as home theater speaker,
Big, EQ requires some fine-tuning, 3D audio content is very limited, Sound best with Amazon Music HD,

Bass could be tighter and more powerful, 3D music is more of a demo and less of a reality right now, Takes up more physical space than many other smart speakers

Pleasant, enjoyable sound, Auto room tuning, Loud, Zigbee hub could be useful for IoT control, Stereo pair capable
Spatial audio and Dolby Atmos have issues, Larger than it looks in the pictures, You may need to use the EQ to get an acceptable sound signature to your tastes
