Get Deal $79.99 at Amazon $99.99 Save $20.00 This speaker earned anEditors' Choice Award from PCMag, which noted it delivers fairly strong low-end frequencies considering its puny size." At 6.1 x 5.6 x 5.8 inches, it's more compact than the previous Echo, with a new look that might remind you of the Death Star-it's a sphere with a large, flattened volume plate that makes the buttons more visible and a light ring that shines towards where you're speaking and displays the volume level as a white arc.(One downside: The smaller size means a smaller woofer than its predecessor, though PCMag said the bass is still reasonably deep.")
One of the Dot Max's main draws its usefulness as a voice assistant. It has Amazon Alexa built-in, and Amazon Prime members can get a free upgrade to the Alexa+ AI assistant (normally $20/month). The Amazon Echo Dot Max supports Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E, serves as a hub for smart home devices like Zigbee, Thread, and Matter, and includes Wi-Fi radar, ultrasonic, temperature, and ambient light sensors that detect your presence in the room.
While the Echo Dot Max is a good choice at this discount, if you mostly plan to use it for listening to music, the latest Echo Dot (currently $50) may suffice.
