The Echo is just as at home blasting out electronica as it with Britpop, and even manages to sound nice and expansive for grand orchestra scores. Eric Clapton’s guitar strums are warm and detailed in the live version of Layla, while Darkside’s Paper Trails sounds sumptuous. The baseline in Dr Dre’s Next Episode is punchy and precise while Snoop Dogg’s raspy lyrics come through nice and clear. It handles most music genres with aplomb with excellent separation of tones, instruments and vocals. It produces room-filling sound that can get very loud indeed, but is just as good when played at 25% volume. It uses the mics to fine-tune the audio to your room too, similar to high-end speakers. The new Echo produces far more powerful and deeper bass that you can feel as well as hear, but still manages well-balanced mids and highs. The larger, rounder body and new speakers have had a large impact on the audio quality. Subscriptions help fund the work we do every day.The new Echo is directional with the sound firing forward out of the mesh at the front, rather than 360-degrees as with the previous versions.
