I recently added the Echo (4th Gen) to my home office, and I must say, it's been a fantastic addition. This isn't my first Echo device, and I'm confident it won't be my last. Here's why I love it:
**Sound Quality (★★★★★):**
The sound quality of the Echo (4th Gen) is truly impressive. Whether I'm listening to music, having a conference call, or simply asking Alexa for information, the sound is clear, crisp, and fills the room beautifully. It makes working from home a much more enjoyable experience.
**Voice Recognition (★★★★★):**
One of the standout features of this Echo is its exceptional voice recognition. Alexa understands my commands and questions perfectly, even in a room with some background noise. It makes managing tasks and controlling smart devices in my office a breeze.
**Tech Support (★★★★★):**
As an experienced Echo user, I've rarely needed tech support. However, it's reassuring to know that Amazon provides excellent customer support for its devices. Should any issues arise, I'm confident they will be resolved promptly.
**Smart Home Hub (★★★★★):**
The Echo (4th Gen) doubles as a smart home hub, which is incredibly convenient. I can easily control my smart lights, thermostat, and even my coffee maker with just my voice. It's a game-changer for productivity and comfort in my home office.
**Overall Impressions (★★★★★):**
This Echo (4th Gen) has exceeded my expectations and has become an integral part of my home office setup. It combines premium sound quality, efficient voice recognition, and the convenience of a smart home hub in one sleek device. If you're considering upgrading your office or home setup, I highly recommend giving this Echo a try.
As someone who's had multiple Echo devices over the years, I can confidently say that Amazon continues to innovate and improve their products. I'm looking forward to what they come up with next, and I'm certain that Echo devices will remain a staple in my home.
In conclusion, the Echo (4th Gen) is a stellar addition to my home office, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy more for other rooms in my house. It's a versatile and high-quality smart speaker that offers a lot of value for the price. If you're a fan of Echo devices like I am, you won't be disappointed with this one.
My original choice of echo devices was the echo studio for the sound loudness but I was reluctant to spend $250 before taxes. This echo 4th gen is the next best thing for soundcloudness and quality, especially when you adjust the treble, bass and mid-range to your preference. Excellent bass sound! Totally happy with this item!
I will likely purchase another or save up for a studio to connect with it for a kick a** system!
Here's the difference between the two:
1. Voice commands now work reliably on the Echo - every time so far. Google assistant USED to be reliable, but for the last year, we often get the "Something went wrong" result to the first command. We have to ask the same command again. Having to repeat every command twice is like having a sticky key on your keyboard. It's maddening that it hasn't been resolved after about a year of glitches.
2. The Echo Microphone quality seems to more sensitive. Even with music playing, the Echo picks up the commands the first time. Google seems to have more trouble hearing a "stop" command over the music it's playing - even before item 1) above was an issue.
3. The Quality of audio is massively better - deep bass AND clear highs! It sounds really good! Google has thick bass and mediocre highs even when equalization is tweaked in the app. Granted, I'm comparing the 1st gen Google to a 4th gen Echo, but reviews seem to confirm that Amazon is still beating even the latest generation of Google Nest on sound quality.
4. Ease of set up. Amazon even gave me the option to have my account preloaded when I ordered the product. Setting up in the Alexa app is short and sweet. Google setups require page after page of (marketing) options in the app, and require it even just to change the wifi access point. Stereo pairing on the Amazon app was also a piece of cake - Google stereo pairing seemed just slightly more tedious.
So now we're all upgraded to a richer sounding Echo stereo speaker pair to enjoy, instead of an annoying half broken Google system. I've always been a Google product guy in the past - but Alexa and Echo are absolutely winning this round. I still have my old Google Home air fresheners - I just hope Google gets around to fixing them so I can lean on them again.
