It’s still not a smart speaker capable of holding a candle to options like the Sonos Roam or even the full-sized Echo, though those alternatives will cost two or threefold what a single Dot will ring up at. Selections from Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino held more weight than they did when sampled on older generations of the Dot, exemplifying that Amazon wasn’t bluffing when it touted strengthened sound quality. However, audio quality did get a noticeable bump this time around and is more adept at handling tracks with deeper bass notes. The reality is that thanks to its diminutive footprint, there’s a ceiling to how dynamic Amazon’s Echo Dot smart speaker (5th generation or otherwise) can sound. That kind of proclamation is a tall order for any speaker, much less one that weighs in at just under 11 ounces. Amazon says the full-range driver powering the Echo Dot makes it the “highest excursion speaker of any Echo Dot,” promising improved clarity and up to twice as much bass as the Dot that came before it. The Echo Dot is outfitted with some intriguing new audio components. The built-in temperature sensor will tell your smart thermostat when to tweak the heating, you can set routines to switch on things like smart lights, and of course you can ask Alexa.With improvements to sound quality, temperature regulation and built-in Eero mesh, the 5th generation is better than ever. It can help with the smart stuff around your home too. Alexa can even tell you a joke (laughs not guaranteed). Get weather updates before you head out the door, add something to your shopping list mid-way through cooking, or set a reminder to get the kids' PE kit together. Alexa, the built-in voice assistant, is always happy to help – no matter how trivial.
Playing music and podcasts from the likes of Amazon Music, Spotify, and BBC Sounds is just an ask away. It's the same dinky size as the 4 th gen, but Amazon have packed in a larger driver, so it sounds louder than ever. Meet the 5 th generation of the Amazon Echo Dot. “Alexa, show me Amazon's best-sounding Echo Dot yet”.
