The Amazon Echo Dot Max is a smart speaker that has triple the amount of bass that the 2022 Echo Dot had, giving a more thumping and vibrant sound than ever before. It’s powered by the AZ3 chip, so it’s also faster than its predecessor’s too. Plus, it’s compatible with so many streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music, and more. You can even great a robust sound system with multiple Echo devices in different rooms, or pair a second Echo Dot Max to enhance the audio. Additionally, you can pair the Echo Dot Max with Fire TV devices to create your own home theater! It’s an incredibly versatile speaker.
As a smart device, you can use Alexa to set routines and control your lights and locks with just your voice, providing a seamless hands-off experience. And with Omnisense Technology, the Echo Dot Max can sense your presence in the room, allowing it automatically activate those routines.
PCMag’s consumer electronics writer Will Greenwald awarded it an “Outstanding” rating. In our Amazon Echo Dot Max review, he said, “The Amazon Echo Dot Max is a feature-packed $100 smart speaker that replaces the standard Echo with balanced, room-filling sound, robust smart home connectivity, and Alexa+ support.”
