About Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen, 2022 release) | With bigger vibrant sound
Overall Feedback:
66% positive
62% liked its voice recognition, but 38% found it inconsistent.
Alexa has difficulty hearing over fans and music, so it should be placed away from any noise source.
I have trouble with the smart-speaker hearing me, even though it has a bigger speaker area and presumably microphone. I constantly have to scream at it to hear me, which wakes up the other dots and confuses them.
My Alexa devices have gotten progressively worse with voice recognition and randomly blurting out phrases and useless info.
In a small studio apartment with no ambient noise, I noticed that the voice recognition is getting worse and it defeats the purpose.
67% praised the excellent sound quality
In my office, the Echo Dot has improved sound quality with clearer vocals and deep bass, enhancing the listening experience.
65% appreciated its customization, but 35% found options limited.
I would prefer a simpler and more convenient way to delete the banner instead of a lengthy process.
Alexa is inconsistent in remembering what I did last, and it's about 50/50 whether she can repeat what I just said or did.
67% praised its portability, while 33% found it inconvenient to carry.
My device takes at least 2 seconds to respond to any request, which is slower than my other 3 devices that are farther from the router.
63% highlighted its connectivity, yet 37% encountered frequent drops.
I was impressed with the plug and play, instant network recognition and integration of the smart speaker.
The Echo Dot device constantly disconnects from WiFi, stops playing during a program, or unpair from the Firestick while the Firestick is turned off. The devices are located within ten feet of the router.
63% appreciated the integration, although 37% faced issues.
I replaced my failed Alexa tower unit with this device, which immediately detected and joined my network and assumed control of all related devices.
The smart speaker is not compatible with my Samsung A14 5g phone and Amazon Fire Tablet 10.
61% found the battery life exceptional although 39% wished it lasted longer.
In a multi-room scenario, the wrong device now almost always answers the wake word. The smart-speaker often fails to hear commands accurately and devices go offline.
