The sound is crystal clear. It’s very small design makes it look nice anywhere, rather than bulky and tacky. It’s nice to have when you need an answer to questions you don’t know (like my daughters math and science homework) and my kids love playing songs on it and asking it to tell them jokes. Setup was also pretty simple. Affordable, and very handy to have around!

This is a significant upgrade from previous models, especially when it comes to sound quality. The bigger, more vibrant sound is truly noticeable, offering a richer audio experience for a device of this size. Whether you’re playing music, setting reminders, or asking Alexa questions, the clarity and depth of sound are impressive for such a compact speaker.Setting it up is a breeze, and it connects easily to Alexa-enabled devices, making it a seamless addition to any smart home. The routines feature is another highlight—whether it’s a morning routine to turn on the lights and read the weather, or a bedtime routine that adjusts the thermostat and plays soothing music, Alexa makes it easy to automate daily tasks.The device’s sleek charcoal design blends well with most home decors. My only minor complaint is that, while the sound is improved, it’s still not quite as powerful as larger smart speakers, so it might not fill a large room with sound as effectively. But for bedrooms or smaller spaces, it’s perfect. Overall, it’s a solid, affordable choice for anyone looking to add smart features and quality sound to their home.

I got my Dot yesterday and found it easy to set up except when it came to 2 Apple-related issues. First, the Alexa app is buggy about connecting to Apple Music. It isn’t just a problem with the latest version because Reddit is full of threads from 2 and 4 years ago about getting error messages after logging into an Apple account from this app. Fortunately, one of those threads pointed me to a link, on the Amazon website, where I was able to link my Apple Music account the way it should be able to be linked through the Alexa app. After that, I was able to connect Apple Music to the Alexa app, and voice commands to the Dot now work fine for listening to my playlists.Second, I had an issue using the Dot as a Bluetooth speaker to play Apple Music via AirPlay. It connects and plays the music fine, but the Dot makes extremely, ear-splitting, smoke-alarm loud announcements whenever it connects to my phone via Bluetooth. Since I was trying to use my phone in the middle of the night for ambient music to help sleep, and since this was more than loud enough to disturb my upstairs neighbors, AirPlay was a no-go. As for the previous issue, a quick search yielded years of Reddit threads about this issue, but no solutions other than to not connect any devices to the Dot via Bluetooth.So, it was a rough first day with the Alexa app failing to connect me to the music source I subscribe to – I’m guessing it works just fine for Amazon Music – and with the Dot itself making such loud announcements if I try to use AirPlay that there is just no reasonable way for me to live with the Dot as a Bluetooth speaker. But if I block the Dot from connecting with my phone, it works great as intended – with Alexa voice commands. The sound quality is as good as you’d expect from such a tiny speaker, and exactly what I wanted for bedtime music in an apartment building – very clear sound with little bass, so that I can listen to podcasts or ambient music at 2 AM and not bother neighbors.
