In this part of the video, the creator introduces three Echo speakers – the new fourth-generation Echo, the older Echo Plus, and the Echo Studio. They plan to test sound quality, connectivity, microphone sensitivity, and response time. The Echo Studio will be tested first for sound quality with a song played via Bluetooth to prevent copyright issues. All speakers will have the same graphic equalizer settings and volume level.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on sound quality comparisons between Echo Studio and the new fourth-generation Echo. Echo Studio is highlighted as the superior option due to its advanced speaker setup, including upward, outward, and downward firing speakers, supporting Dolby Atmos. The fourth-generation Echo is praised for its clearer sound compared to the third generation but is critiqued for having a muddier quality and an unusual speaker configuration. In terms of stereo sound, Echo Studio performs better. The segment also explores response time testing, with the new fourth-generation Echo being praised for its faster response time compared to its predecessors.

In this part of the video, the speaker tests the startup speed of different speakers. They express surprise at the speeds, finding the new chip’s performance not as impressive as claimed by Amazon. They detail that the response time for turning on the light was 1.02 seconds for the new model, 1.04 for the fourth gen, and 1.14 for the plus model. In terms of startup speed, the plus model had the fastest time at 40.09 seconds, followed by the studio at 41.22 seconds, and the fourth gen at 43.09 seconds. The speaker emphasizes the significant three-second difference between the plus model and the fourth gen.

In this segment of the video, different smart speakers are compared based on their responsiveness under noisy conditions. The speaker with the fastest combined time is in first place, followed by another speaker, and then a new 4th gen speaker in last place. The reviewer suggests that the slowest speaker may need to work on a new processor. The test involves playing loud music and using a vacuum cleaner to mimic a noisy party environment to evaluate the microphone’s responsiveness.

In this segment of the video, the reviewer compares the Echo Plus, Echo Studio, and the Echo 4th generation speakers. All three speakers have similar connectivity features such as a 3.5mm jack, line in, and line out. The Echo Studio stands out with its toslink optical cable for a better digital signal. All three speakers can connect via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It is noted that you cannot connect these speakers to the Fire Stick 4K or Fire Cube, and you can only stereo pair them with identical speakers. Surprisingly, after all the tests, the Echo Plus and Echo Studio tie for first place, with the Echo 4th generation coming in last.

In this segment of the video, the speaker compares the sound quality of the Echo Studio, Echo fourth generation, and Echo third generation devices. The Echo Studio is recommended for those seeking a high-quality, loud speaker with good connectivity. The Echo fourth generation is noted as a better-sounding option than the third generation, suitable for individuals looking for decent sound but not as high-end as the Echo Studio. The speaker concludes by thanking viewers for watching.
