Amazon Echo Sub guide

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Amazon Echo Sub provides much-needed sub-bass to your Echo smart speaker as long as you're willing to overlook some frustrating limitations.

Amazon's Echo smart speakers put out pretty solid sound for their size and price, but they skimp a bit on deep bass and don't even try to reach sub-bass levels. Enter the Echo Sub, a wireless subwoofer designed to be paired with one or two Echo speakers to help produce the low-end rumble the speakers can't on their own. At $129.99 it's an affordable wireless subwoofer that puts out fairly solid sub-bass. That said, it can't shake the walls like home theater subwoofers, and it's held back by a bizarre incompatibility with Bluetooth streaming.

Amazon Echo Sub review

Adds considerable sonic authority to your Amazon speakers Tested at £120

Amazon’s decision to name its first subwoofer the Echo Sub, and not the Rumble In The Jungle, is an open goal so woefully missed that sadly, upon our publishing of this review, someone is likely to lose their job.

However, the same fate is unlikely to befall the company’s engineers. The Echo Sub confirms Amazon's latest range of products have successfully raised the audio bar.

The Amazon Echo subwoofer is one of the newest Echo products released by Amazon. This powerful subwoofer emits 100W of deep bass sound, easily filling rooms of all sizes. The Echo Sub allows users to connect their Echo devices to the sub and control the way the sound is emitted from the subwoofer.
