Review on Smart speaker Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Gen, charcoal by Stanisaw Lipowski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm completely satisfied with the product, it works.

I have Siri on my phone, I have . Station, so I have something to compare with. And so far, Alexa, even though it only supports English, is my favorite. Siri herself is stupid, Alice in the Station is functionally very poor. Alexa surprises me all the time. The Echo Dot 3 sounds much better than you might think, looking at its size. The 2nd generation Echo Dot sounded crappy, but the Echo Dot 3 is just fine. It has one speaker installed, so you should not expect a balanced sound, but it doesn’t lose much to the same excessively bassy . Station. And, unlike the same Station, it is controlled from a smartphone. I made a stereo pair in the kitchen at different ends of the room, now a great fill sound, the source of which is impossible to localize. I bought an outlet holder on Ali, thanks to which the Echo Dot 3 simply hangs on the wall without taking up space. Echo Dot 3 requires skill to set up. You will have to get acquainted with new streaming services. The cost of an American subscription, of course, will not suit you - it is usually 3-4 times higher than the 2022 one. Therefore, for the same Deezer, I bought a cheap premium on ebay. However, I think to try spotify. The best option would be Amazon Music unlimited, but you can’t find a cheap premium for it, and you don’t want to pay 10 bucks - I already have enough subscriptions. Well, yes, if you have never worked with voice assistants, then Echo Dot and Alexa are the last thing you need in 2022. But if you're already full of both Siri and Alice and you're craving more, go for it.

Pros
  • + Very good sound for this size. In the third generation Echo Dot, the speaker was coolly redesigned, which is why it is now quite possible to listen to music on the speaker. + He hears me perfectly and understands English with a 2022 accent. + Two of these babies can be combined into a stereo pair, filling the room with sound. Music will sound everywhere, it is incomparable even with a conventional stereo system, where the speakers are next to each other. + If you get confused, you can find a lot of interesting skills for Alexa. Amazon's Alexa is the champion of support from other manufacturers. Here, there are a variety of music streaming services, and support for smart home appliances, and just a lot of things. For example, I control a Samsung TV from a speaker, although the TV does not technically have smart home functionality. + Echo Dot and Alexa make me ecstatic. She is very smart, the limit of her abilities is still unknown to me. I caught a cold and lost my voice, I could only whisper. Alexa heard a whisper and asked if she should also answer me in a whisper (suddenly someone is sleeping). + Price. The column is not delivered to 2022, so "suitcase import" is a little expensive. In the USA, the speaker costs 50 bucks on a regular basis, during sales 40 and even 30. But even the American full price for it is ridiculous money.
Cons
  • – Support for Apple Music is declared for Alexa, BUT, as it turned out, only for American Apple IDs. It does not work with 2022 and any other Apple Music, you have to use cheap Deezer or expensive Spotify. – From the phone, you can control playback through the Alexa application, but, alas, you cannot search for music in third-party streaming services through it. Therefore, it remains to rely only on your pronunciation.
