I decided I must pair two Studios since I had two Echo Plus’s stereo paired with an Echo Sub and it sounded pretty darn good. So I had to try the Studio paired in stereo, and since I had the Sub, I threw that in too. What else am I going to do with it? The Sub added a lot to the two Plus’s. I wondered would you even notice it with the two Studios? I’m here to say that you definitely notice it. You notice it’s not there, I can tell you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Going head-to-head with the Sonos One in terms of pricing, it will be interesting to see how sales there stack up as we edge into 2020.<\/span><\/p> Given that you\u2019ll also benefit from that integrated Zigbee home hub previously the preserve of <\/span>Echo Plus<\/span><\/a>, it really is staggering how much value Amazon have layered into this awesome smart speaker.<\/span><\/p> You\u2019ll get a robust and powerful speaker, a streaming device and a hands-free smart home controller rolled into one for less than a couple of hundred bucks.
