Echo Dot 4th Gen Review

I have several of the previous gen dots and was impressed with their improvement of sound quality compared to the first gens. I purchased this (not needing) for the expectation that it’s sound quality would exceed its predecessor. The design also appeared to support this assumption as well. I was extremely disappointed/surprised by how horrid the sound is however. It’s not only not an improvement, but much worse than the previous gen! Reminds me of the sound on the original first gen dots!

Good little item, great price & sounds just ok. If you're looking for great sound this device is not for you. Go with the Echo dot with premium sound for better quality sound.

I was so skeptical buying any of these speakers but I saw a friend had one and I thought they would be cool to try out. Luckily they have been on sale for a while now so I went ahead and bought one. I have ended up buying 4 of these speakers because they are just so wonderful. My favorite thing about these is when you play music you can link them all together. Whenever you have them in different rooms it's like your whole house is one big speaker.

I received my Amazon Echo and it has been so much fun, the ease of the set up was so simple. The clarity of the sound is amazing. It something I will be using for years. I can see myself exploring and expanding more smart plug to connect more devices. Pure joy for this techy. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is a neat device. It can answer questions, play music, connect, and control smart devices. I have it play music by artist name or genre. It can skips songs or control the volume all by your voice, handsfree. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Sound quality is horrible. I really like the design but I expected more. The previous echo dot is way better.

At first I was concerned about the size of it because it looked quite big in the pictures but when I received it it was a great size perfect for any area. Sound quality is great and it’s easy to set up. Would highly recommend buying this product

This is honestly one of my favorite items I own. It's very useful/versatile, and also works as an amazing speaker. That being said, there are a few small fixes that I hope Amazon can improve with further generations. I'm listing pros and con's below, but I definitely recommend the product overall. Pros: -Great design (looks very nice on my nightstand) -Amazing speaker quality - I can easily use this for small parties and gatherings in my apartment and the sound quality is perfect -Love the features (especially alarm setting, reminders, music options) -Directly connected to a smart plug so I can turn on/off my nightstand light with my voice. This is a really great future especially before going to sleep Cons: -Sometimes the echo dot's light turns on, even if I haven't said anything. This can be a bit inconvenient when I'm trying to sleep and I see green lights flashing. Maybe this is just a glitch because it happens occasionally Great product overall and highly recommend!

Added another amazon echo to the house really can't fault them

this has been bought as a gift for christmas and i was very pleased as it has a good guaranteehighly impressed.

I bought the Echo Dot two weeks ago in the Black Friday Sale as a replacement for the Alarm Clock in our Bedroom but it offers so much more, with it’s capability to link to e.g. ‘TuneIn Radio and Spotify’, together with a pleasant variety of ‘Alarm Sounds’ to wake up to - This, along with a bargain price made for a terrific purchase.

I bought this a month ago then bought 2 more and recommended it to friends

I bought this to give as a gift, but a another relative has 3rd gen already. The sound is brilliant, and its so useful to listen to music, ask Alexa question, even converting weights, and measure. Handy in the night as you can ask the time without moving, and set your alarm, reminders, not to mention dropping in on friends and family, and much more. Heavier than 2nd gen giving a substantial feel with a soft cover looking modern and stylish. It's like having your own PA.

Very happy with purchase, occasionally glitchy but generally very good value

Bought to link with my larger echo and other echo dot. Hadn't realised that they can link together to give cinema sound and pair. Currently using in my kitchen for a bit of music and to use as a timer for cooking. They are amazing and take up such little space. I would really recommend to anyone. Amazon sell some mounting kits for them to stick on the wall or under furniture if you need the extra surface space.The echo dot arrived within 2 days and I rang and paid for it over the phone. Really happy with the service from Richer Sounds, as always :)
