Do you know you feel when, after a long flight, your pop ears, clear and you can hear again? Okay, it’s as if the world would open up to you. I had this feeling, so distant, listening to the new Amazon Echo Dot Max for the first time.
It was a few minutes after Amazon concluded that its deployment of the massive apparatus on September 30, 2025, where the company unveiled new echo shows, Kindle scribes and echo smart speakers. I was inaugurated in a small room filled with new Amazon echoes (including the studio redesigned), where I was finally able to hear the new Amazon audio goods far from the rifle of people and the noise in the large demonstration room.
To understand what I was going to hear, you have to know more about this new smart speaker. The new Amazon Echo Dot Max is not only an audio update; It is a complete overhaul. Of course, the body is still round, but the Amazon Alexa light ring has gone from the base to a sculpture on the face and surrounds the controls “to stop” and the volume. There is also a new body in seamless net.
Inside, however, there is a brand new sound system that includes a high excursion woofer and a personalized tweeter. It is a tweeter less than the fourth generation echo, but one more than the echo point. Amazon audio engineers worked near the magic to open the sound space of the maximum point so that each piece of air inside the chassis serves the sound output.
Listen
Back to my hearing experience.
“Now that’s it
You say you want your freedom, ”
Called the instantly recognizable voice of Stevie Nicks from the previous generation Echo Dot. It sounded well.
A second later, the Amazon executive passed to the Amazon Echo Dot Max.
“Popular!’
Yes, it was as if my ears were cleared, and I heard Fleetwood Mac’s song again.
“As a heart rate drives you crazy
In the silence to remember what you had “
Blood Stevie Nicks, and it was impressive. Full of much more bass than a speaker of this size has the right to have, and the clarity of the summits was sharp and exhausted.
Impressive for a $ 99 speaker.
The Exec Amazon has gone to the Echo studio, and if you read the practice of my colleague Jake Krol, you know that it seems to fill a room and impressive in the way only a speaker of this size and this design could perhaps.
By the way, there are many maximum features of Dot Max that I have not been able to try, like its ready -to -use Alexa + capacities, which are helped by a microphone system with a distant field. There is also the new AZ3 processor (the studio gets Az3 Pro) which will help with AI tasks in the case of edge (those that may not need larger models, such as basic discussion indices)
Yes, this new speaker is double the price of the point of echo (which is going nowhere), but you pay for the new design, Alexa + Readiness and, of course, this surprising level of sound quality. In addition, if you are investing up to five of them, you can quickly build a decent homemade sound system.
Amazon told us that the speakers will use the new Omnise technology to read the acoustics of the room and correctly adjust the speakers for full surround sound.
For the moment, I am impressed by sound, but there is so much more to test on Amazon Echo Dot Max. Stay listening for our full exam.
The Amazon Echo Dot Max, $ 99.99 / £ 99.99 $ 199 is on pre -order now and is shipped on October 29.
