    It’s hard to argue against such great sound quality plus a strong mediatek processor, and compared to Google’s Nest Audio, I would go for the 4th gen Echo Dot in a heartbeat.

    I actually think the sound demonstration in this video the 3rd Gen actually sounded clearer than the 4th Gen. The 4th Gen sounds louder and has better base but the voices actually sounded more muffled on the 4th gen than the 3rd gen.

    A thing to notice.
    If this is your 1st Echo Dot and you are thinking whether to buy the 3rd Gen or 4th Gen, just go for the Echo Dot 4th Gen if it is within your budget and I think that one Echo Dot (4th Gen) is more than enough to fill your whole house with superb, quality, loud audio.
    I have 3 Echo Dot 3rd Gens and 1 Echo Dot 4th Gen,
    And I think that my 1 Echo Dot 4th Gen is much better than those 3 Echo Dot 3rd Gens altogether

    4th gen sounds a lot better, but I already have a 3rd gen dot and regular echo. Don’t want to spend more money on new ones just to trash the old ones since echos are tied to your account and are not really resellable, or they are but it’s a huge hassle. I never used the line out feature, and you just gave me a great idea to just keep the previous gen echos, and just upgrade the sound which I will look into doing. Thanks.

    I just bought an Echo dot 4th Gen and to be honest despite the size my Altec Lansing speakers are 100 percent better with sound quality. With that stated the sound quality of the Echo is not bad it's just not really solid quality. The other issue I have is after the second day it picked up on my Bluetooth and interrupted with my current speaker running on my PC. These speakers are meant to be used throughout your home and I get it but why did it cut off my speaker to my PC without me connecting my Bluetooth to it? Weird!

    I guess they need to try to compete with Sonos and other similar systems, but for myself when I listen to music I do it via my AVR system. Ten speakers in two rooms, and another room (open layout) in between those two gets great stereo sound from both directions. And if I Bluetooth it I can pull audio from Alexa into the AVR, which means the same audio from the multiple echo dots scattered around the house… no way am I ‘upgrading’. Totally not needed. Now if it had a simple LCD clock, I might be tempted to put one in my bedroom where I have no tv or other audio…. Oh wait, one does have that….

      @@AdamsTechLife it’s typical really. It’s just a 2-zone AVR. As I’m using the full 7.1 in speakers in zone 1 in the living room, it frees zone 2 for a separate stereo amp with two speakers. That’s in the dining room. Between those two rooms is the kitchen, which has no speakers but gets sound from the other two rooms.

    Great vid.
    I've just upgraded one of my 3-ers to a 4th gen and I agree, it does sound better. I got mine in the sales, wouldn't pay the full price either.
    Have you noticed that the 4th gen has "tap gestures" in the general settings of the App? Apparently you can tap/punch? the devi device to snooze an alarm.

    I have both, I like the third gen hockey puck better. More stable on a table, smaller for travel,, you can see the ring light, and use it as a nightlight. I got my 4th gens yesterday that I ordered because I cant see (blind) and know there was a differentce and I was like wtf is this> I noticed the better audio quality too but I don't think its worth the other tradeoffs.

    why did you not read the technical specifications? How many microphones are on board? Which one can hear you speak better? Considering they're both really not audio systems I would rather have it here what I say and which one would be better would be the most important thing for me… Especially when I'm plugging in speakers to it anyway forget about their onboard

    When you upgrade does everything from the old one transfer ( because it's in the app / cloud? Not sure) or do you have to redo everything, as in connecting smart bulbs etc? I have a smart bulb that was really awkward to set up and messing that up by upgrading wouldn't be worth the hassle for me ( unless I ever had no choice)
