- Amazon has four new echo -speakers for your consideration
- They are Echo Studio, Echo Dot Max and Two Echo Shows
- All of these speakers come with Alexa+ out of the box
After announcing the upgraded Alexa+ AI assistant earlier this year, Amazon has now revealed four shiny new echo speakers to take advantage of it: Echo Dot Max, the Echo Show (in 8-inch and 11-inch sizes) and Echo Studio.
All four of these models are upgrades of existing speakers with faster processors, more memory and advanced Sensing capabilities designed to deliver “surrounding AI experiences that fade in the background of daily life” -think reminders that you hear when you go into a room, for example.
First up, Echo Dot Max, a new recording of the 5th-Gen-Ekko dot that brings a new design, the 3x bass effect, two internal speakers, plus all the internal upgrades. That’s yours for $ 99.99 / £ 99.99 / AU $ 199.
Then we have the new $ 219.99 / £ 219.99 / AU $ 429 Echo Studio replacing the old ECHO study. It is 40% less, is very similar to Echo Dot Max and includes a High-Excursion Woofer and three drivers in full range. Spatial audio and dolby -atmos are supported, and like its predecessor, it’s one for audiophiles out there.
As an added bonus, Amazon says you can easily create a maximum of five Echo Studio and Echo Dot Max devices like a surround sound system for your four TV. This was possible with the existing hardware, but the limit was a 2.1 duct system. Pre -control is open now with availability on October 29th.

Next, there are the two new Echo Show models with 8-inch and 11-inch screens. The design has been renewed from the older versions and they now have a more modern look and improved touch screens.
There is a 13-megapixel camera that can recognize you and personalize the information (as calendar plans) shown on the screen. With two front -facing speakers and a custom woofer, Amazon also promises superior sound from these devices.
The onboard software has also been configured again to surface more information and information that is more relevant-on-cross-entertainment, shopping and the smart home. You can also now connect your Oura account to get health and wellness data on your Echo Show screen, with more partners coming.
These two speakers are available from November 12, though you can pre -order them now. The 8-inch model costs $ 179.99 / £ 179.99 / AU $ 349, while the 11-inch model-factual a new screen size for the series-is $ 219.99 / £ 219.99 / AU $ 429.
All of these new products come with Alexa+ out of the box, says Amazon, which means you get the smarter, more conversation, more natural AI assistant at your disposal – something more like Google Gemini rather than Google Assistant.
