#5 Amazon Echo (4th Gen): $99.99 each Amazon eBay
Pros: The full-size spherical smart speaker that represents the core audio anchor of Amazon’s Echo lineup. Houses a dedicated 3-inch neodymium woofer and dual 0.8-inch front-firing tweeters powered by Dolby processing and automatic acoustic room tuning that continuously senses the acoustics of the space to optimize playback. Produces surprisingly solid, punchy mid-bass down to approximately 55Hz with wide, pleasing stereo separation from a single compact orb. Includes built-in Zigbee smart home hub, temperature sensor, and lossless HD streaming support over Wi-Fi. Measured bass extension of 55Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The spherical design radiates sound primarily in a forward-facing direction, so off-axis treble rolls off compared to true 360-degree omnidirectional speakers. Pushed to maximum volume, the DSP aggressively limits deep bass to protect the 3-inch driver from over-excursion.
How it compares: Just above it: Denon Home 150 - $149 more. Just below it: Google Nest Audio.
