Hello everyone thanks for tuning in again. It's time to get the Amazon Echo
Sub reviewed tell you what it's all about
and help you make a decision whether or not this is something you want to add to
your Echo setup so let's get going
alright now if you don't know what the Echo Sub is it is essentially a six inch
subwoofer contained within this box right here this circular device and it
basically connects with your Amazon Echo, Echo Plus, or Echo Dot even and those
devices can all connect and be paired together so what you can do is you can
create either a 1.1 configuration or a 2.1 configuration if you have two of the
same speaker so Amazon sells both of those packages or all of those packages
basically right on their website or you can purchase the Echo Sub alone now the
Echo Sub itself is a hundred and twenty nine ninety nine or one hundred and
thirty dollars u.s. and is only available on amazon.com the other thing
that you're going to want to know right out of the box is if you have a first
generation Echo Plus this is the second generation Echo Plus there is no current
upgrade path or no stated upgrade path that'll make it work with an Echo Sub so
you are going to need one of these new cloth finished devices basically so the
Echo Dot third generation the Echo second generation or this Echo Plus
second generation now just some physical dimension type stuff and talking about
the device itself you can see the really really clean look of the fabric and you
know I've got some of the feedback from other people that this fabric is
impossible to clean and so I think that's important to keep in mind if
you're gonna have it in a really central location not that I would anyways for an
8 by 8 inch device here it's essentially box that's been rounded off at about 8
inches the matte finish on the top I think is very nice and in general if you
leave that alone it's going to look nice other than
you're going to have to dust that off and keep it relatively clean once in a
while now after that and I've shown you in a previous video here the Echo Sub is
actually relatively easy to set up once you have one of these speakers in your
home in fact the new setup process from Amazon is very impressive when you order
it it basically shows up in the Alexa application and it just will set up on
your Wi-Fi if you already have those Wi-Fi credentials saved in a previous
setup now if you don't even then the setup process is not very difficult now
of course with a device like this the only thing that really matters is how is
the sound and how do you use it basically so what I'll tell you right
out of the box bluetooth does not work so just know that going rate in what you
have to do is use one of the connected music services here in Canada that's
Amazon music and Spotify and the tune in service actually for radio those will
work with this nothing else really is going to work with a sub pairing or a
speaker pairing so you have to keep that in mind
basically it's that music service that you guys are use your Echo to start or
you can use the application on your phone or tablet to go ahead and start
once you do that you can choose the pairing so that's one piece to keep in
mind is that you cannot just buy this device and then bluetooth to both of the
speakers that feature isn't hasn't been named or has been announced at all by
Amazon now before I get into a sound test here with the Echo Sub and my Echo
Plus what I want to do is basically tell you a little bit more about the sound
quality so what Amazon tells us is the frequency response is around 30 Hertz
now when we're talking about a subwoofer basically lower is better you're going
to get more of a full rich bass sound coming out of a sub like that the lower
you get that's pretty good in terms of a sub frequency response that we're
looking for so personally what I found with the
is that it adds a whole new dimension to just regular listening I don't think
necessarily that it can keep up with a device like the Apple home pod which I
have here in my home as well so the overall quality of this device I would
put it very close to a home pod when it's paired with a couple of Echo Plus
speakers but not quite at that same speaker quality level for 99% of the
people out there today this is going to be more than enough and let me make that
very very abundantly clear you're going to be impressed with this device when
added to an Echo or an Echo Plus I wouldn't recommend necessarily pairing
it with an Echo Dot if that's what you have in your home because more or less
this overpowers the Echo Dot as good as the new third-generation is so now like
I said let's go ahead let's play some music get that on here and just show you
some of the differential here
