Do you know that feeling that you have when, after a long flight, your ears leave, and can you hear again? Well, it’s as if the world had opened you. I had that feeling, although fleetingly, when I heard the new Amazon Echo Dot Max for the first time.
A few minutes passed after Amazon concluded its mass launch of devices on September 30, 2025, where the company presented new Eco shows, Kindle Scribes and Echo Smart Speaks. They took me to a small room full of the new Amazon Echos (including the redesigned study), where I could finally hear the new Amazon audio goods away from people’s noise and noise in the large demonstration room.
To understand what I was about to listen, you must know more about this new smart speaker. The new Amazon Echo Dot Max is not just an audio update; It is a complete redesign. Of course, the body is still round, but Amazon Alexa’s ring has moved from the base to a size in the face and surrounds the “stop listening” controls and volume controls. There is also a new mesh body without seams.
Inside, however, there is a completely new sound system that includes a high -excursion woofer and a personalized tweeter. This is a tweeter less than the fourth generation echo, but one more than the echo point. Amazon audio engineers worked near Magic to open the hearing space of the maximum point so that every little air inside the chassis serves the sound outlet.
Hear
Back to my auditory experience.
“Now you go back here
You say you want your freedom ”
He called the recognizable voice instantly from Stevie Nicks of the previous generation echo dot. It sounded well.
A second later, the Amazon executive changed Amazon Echo Dot Max.
“Pop!’
Yes, it was as if my ears clarified, and I heard Fleetwood Mac’s song again.
“As a beat drives you crazy
In the stillness of remembering what you had “
Stevie Nicks sang, and was impressive. Full of much lower than a speaker of that size has the right to have, and the clarity in the maximums was acute and clear.
Impressive for a $ 99 speaker.
The Amazon executive changed Echo Studio, and if you read my colleague Jake Krol, you know that it sounds full of rooms and impressive in the way only a speaker of that size and design could.
By the way, there are many characteristics of Echo Dot Max that I could not try, as its abilities Alexa+ outside the box, which are assisted by a distant field microphone system. There is also the new AZ3 processor (the study obtains the Az3 Pro) that will help with the tasks of the edge costs (one that might not need larger models, such as basic discussion signs)
Yes, this new speaker is twice the price of the DOT Echo (which is not going anywhere), but is paying for the new design, Alexa+ Preparation and, of course, that surprising level of sound quality. In addition, if you invest in up to five of them, you can quickly build a decent home film surround system.
Amazon told us that the speakers will use the new omnisence technology to read acoustic room and properly adjust the Swords for the complete surround sound of Dolby.
At the moment, I am impressed with the sound, but there is much more to try on the Amazon Echo Dot Max. Are attentive to our complete review.
The Amazon Echo Dot Max, $ 99.99 / £ 99.99 / AU $ 199 is now and is sent on October 29.
