Amazon updates Echo lineup: better audio quality, an Echo Dot with a clock, and more
Amazon is hosting an event today that will see a variety of new hardware products announced, most of which will focus on the Echo lineup of smart speakers.
Last year’s Amazon event saw a ridiculous amount of devices and other things get announced, and there’s been some speculation about whether or not today’s event would see dozens of new items added to Amazon’s extensive library of self-branded products.
So far there are already quite a few new Echo products unveiled, including a new Echo Dot, a better-sounding Echo Studio, and more.
This is a developing story, so additional details will be added as they are revealed.
We’ll start with the high-end Echo Studio, pictured at the top of this article (via The Verge), which Amazon bills as its first high-end speaker. It’s designed with audio quality in mind, built to support Amazon’s new Music HD streaming service, which supports lossless music.
The Echo Studio supports Dolby Atmos for even better sound quality, as well as 3D audio. The new smart speaker is equipped with five drivers for powerful sound quality, along with three mid-range speakers, a woofer, and a tweeter.
It sounds like a pretty strong contender to Apple’s HomePod.
Pre-orders for the Echo Studio go live today. Pricing starts at $199.
