The Echo Dot Max is Amazon's “Pro” tier smart speaker, designed for people who want better sound quality in a relatively small package and at an affordable price. This upgraded smart speaker is powerful, with a spherical body and a concave cutout for volume and mute controls, surrounded by an LED ring (yes, it looks like the Death Star).
Released last October, the Echo Dot Max is currently at its lowest price ever during Amazon's Big Spring Sale. You can get one for $74.99 instead of the usual $99.99.
The new Echo Dot Max is a step up from the Echo Dot, and compared to the 2022 model, it features three times louder bass (thanks to a new 0.8-inch tweeter and a 2.5-inch woofer). It's powered by Amazon's custom Za3 chip with a built-in AI Accelerator, meaning it's built for the Alexa+ AI service.
The Max also features a built-in smart home hub with support for Matter, Zigbee, and Thread Border Router; it can also work as an eero extender for your mesh Wi-Fi router. There's also a temperature sensor and ultrasonic presence detector, so you can use it to trigger Alexa routines as soon as someone walks into the room.
What do you think so far?
Tech wise, the Echo Dot Max supports Wi-Fi 6E for faster speeds, Bluetooth 5.3, lossless high-definition audio, and automatic room adaption. It's also easy to pair two Echo Dot Max speakers for a stereo home theater setup with any compatible Fire TV devices. Echo Dot Max comes in three colors: Graphite, Glacier White, and Amethyst. All three are available on discount right now.
PCMag gave the Echo Dot Max an "Outstanding" 4.5 star rating, along with an Editor's Choice award, noting, "the Amazon Echo Dot Max stands out as a strong successor to the fourth-generation Echo, comfortably occupying the $100 sweet spot for smart speakers." And what's better than a $100 sweet spot? A $75 sweet spot.
