amazon prime smart home review first look
I really like how you show the phone. It's not you trying to video the phone while you are using it, but rather a screen capture overlaid on a nice visual of the device on your desk. Very clean. Great job.
Hello Bryan, thank you very much. I am glad you appreciated that. I am proud of doing it that way. I wish I could take credit for it. I learned it from watching the RUclipsr Peter McKinnon. I thought it was brilliant and had to try it. Filming the camera always looked horrible to me and there was no real good way of doing it. Thank you for this comment. It is good to see it was not lost on you. The fact that most people don’t notice it is probably a good sign that it is working. Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend and a Happy New Year.
I am considering buying the sub, but I wanted to see some reviews first. Your channel is the first to have a quality video about the echo sub and sound test! Thank you! Keep it up!
Hello iGageit, thank you very much. I am glad that I was able to deliver a helpful video. I was worried about my sound getting bad with too much volume and bass. I appreciate the positive feedback. It is great to hear. Thanks for continuing to watch and for commenting. Have a great day.
Max Volume 5 works best for Demos, anything higher and your Mic Distorts!
I ordered the ECHO STUDIO so I thought I better get the ECHO SUB with it. I am looking forward to hearing them
Still a few issues with what it does and does not work on. I'f like to see some EQ curves (not just bass & treble adjustment) for specific Echo devices that rolls of the high end to better match the Echo it is attached to. The sub needs a bit more mid-bass to fill in the void between the low end of the Echo Dot and the high end of the sub. Other than that, it sounds pretty nice.
Anyone else notice Craig looks exactly like Don Felder (Eagles)? 😂. Kidding aside, thanks for the vid. Great advice to work with. Subscribed. 👍🏼🇨🇦
Hello Barry, that’s funny. I am glad that you have enjoyed the videos. I appreciate you subscribing and sticking around into 2019. Thanks for watching and the comparison. Have a Happy New Year.
Barry Bebenek He looks EXACTLY like Don Felder! The resemblance is uncanny.
Thank you loads!! I miss the low end on my setup,you covered everything I was questioning.I need heavy bass.
I have to say, your channel has helped me so much when it comes to understanding general use and also what these devices are capable of.
I have recently purchased an offer on Amazon for 2 Echo Plus' & the Echo Sub for £300. It seemed like a good price for the 2.1 package as I saved £100 so I thought, why not.
Thanks for your time and effort and I look forward to seeing more great videos from you in the future. All the best for the new year Craig.
Great review, Craig!
You touched all the bases for the usage scenarios with the sub and why one might want it.
Thanks for the continuing great vids and I always look forward to more! :)
Hello Michael, I am sorry for the delayed response. I am in Germany with the family right now. Thank you very much. I appreciate you saying that. That was my goal to give some options. I appreciate that you are enjoying the videos. I hope to not let you down with future videos. I appreciate all the support. Be well my friend.
I have and I like it. Your review was good but you have to remember there is a break in time for speakers to get the full sound.
Hello Michael, I am glad to hear that you are liking yours. That is a good point about break in time. Thank you for mentioning that for others to think about. I think it does fill out the sound nicely and moves some air. I appreciate you leaving this comment. Please, do follow up if you find yours gets better with time. Thank you also for watching. Have a great day Michael.
hi Craig recently found your channel. love what you do so i have subscribed, really enjoying the alexa series, so much so that I have just purchased three 3rd generation dot's and the sub can't get the sub until end of December lack of stock, must be very popular here in the UK. like i said great channel and I am enjoying your style of presentation
Hello David, thank you very much. Welcome to the channel. I am glad that you found the channel and are enjoy the Echo series. Congratulations on the purchase of 3 dots. They are great devices. I hope you enjoy them. That is crazy the sub is out of stock until after the holidays. I guess people are liking them. Hopefully it comes earlier for you.
Thank you for the very kind words. It is great to hear the positive feedback about my video style. I appreciate you watching and sticking around to check out future videos. Have a great day David.
Thanks , great video. I connect my Echo show 2 to my mini Sony system audio via Bluetooth but no bass !?!? This Echo sub no Bluetooth connection. Do you know how to set screen timeout on Echo show 2 ?
Hello Thanh Tran, Thank you very much. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. it is a bummer that you can't use the Echo show 2 with a sub over bluetooth. It is very disappointing that it only works with supported music services. I can not find a setting that will allow you to change the screen timeout. i have seen a lot of people ask the same question and have posted it in forums. No one has come up with away to change it. Here is a link to Amazons setting options on Echo Shows. It is very limited. I wish I had a better answer for you. www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202158490
Have a great day.
Great review, I cant wait to get the sub and my second Echo Plus ! You have a new subscriber in Mexico
Hello Eduardo, thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy your new sub and echo plus. That should be a good sounding combination. Thanks for subscribing and watching from Mexico. Happy New Year.
I bought and paired mine with 2 new Echos because I listen to alot of Amazon Prime Music. Disappointed to find it (the sub and stereo pair) don't fire with Bluetooth or commands like "Flash Briefing" etc.
Maybe later with some software updates we'll get true Bluetooth 2.1 sound? Nice wrap up.
BTW - you failed to mention in the other videos how long it took and how cumbersome and frustrating it was just to set up the 2 new Echo speakers via the horrible app. Just sayin.
Hello HotSauceDaily, that is great that you listen to a lot of Amazon Prime Music. This is a good device for you since you are using a supported service. But, quite disappointing for anyone wanting to stream over bluetooth and other audio options like Flash Briefings or Prime Video. I do home that it does get improved soon with an update. Thank you for the compliment. I am glad that you enjoyed the video.
It can get silly with the Alexa App. Sometimes it quick and easy. Other times it just is a pain. It seems that there has been all kinds of weird things happening with the apps and devices since the big updates they have done.
Thank you for checking out both videos and for your comment. Have a great day.
@@CraigsTechTalk Hi Craig, any update 3 years later if the subwoofer is supported with a Bluetooth paired device. Does it work now? If not , do you know of any other bluetooth subs that are compatible with amazon echo/alexa products?
Ordered my sub, but it's not in stock.....anticipation.........anticipa ah ah tion....
Hello Glenn, that is funny. Very cool you got your sub ordered. I hope it comes soon and you enjoy it. Please, if you like, let us know what you think of it. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great day Glenn.
Not getting the Sub .i bought a Bluetooth adapter and paired my home stereo to my echo for 35.00
Hello IPACNSC, that is a great alternative. I like the suggestion. Better cost and effective. Also does not limit you to only Echo supported services. Thank you for sharing that idea and for watching. have a great day.
Congratulations, we don't care.
@@broderp hater ass broke bitch xD
i think the bad thing about that is that you can't use it with your voice without having to turn on your home theater first. idk that would kind of annoy me.....with this subwoofer it's just always on or standy or whatever they do with it. So you can just say what ever you want without having to get up and turning anything on.
Thx for another great video, Craig. I was waiting for this review. Haha. I’m not sure if it is for me now. I listen at lower volume levels as background music when working.
Hello Mark, I am glad that I could deliver for you and give you the review you were looking for. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. If anything, I would suggest spending the money on an echo show. I was more impressed with how much bass now comes out of it. I was enjoying listening to music on it over my homepod. I had to do a side by side test and it was beating the homepod. I with you about the lower volumes when working or I do pod cast. I am here to be the guinea pig for this stuff before you by.
Thank you Mark for checking out the video and for all of your comments. Have a great day Mark.
Thank for the review and video but I call my device computer too lol
Hello Oscar, thank you. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. I am sorry I triggered your device since you are using computer too. But good choice on wake word. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great day Oscar.
So is sending audio via bluetooth to an echo a no go when its paired to the sub?
Hello Doge Wow, no you cannot send bluetooth audio to the sub. In the description of the sub Amazon says it is not supported. It is a bummer that it does not work with bluetooth. Hopefully that will get fixed in a future update.
Thank you for your question and for watching. Have a great day.
Great review, and quite helpful - but/because you lost me in the first minute with "the ONLY audio you can play with with the echo sub is from supported Amazon services" Ugh.
Excellent video, Thanks. I don't listen to music enough to justify buying one.
Hello Stuckinga, I am glad that you enjoyed the video. If I was not making these videos, I would probably not buy one. I listen to more podcast. I am also happy with the extra bass and the sound of the Echo Show 2. That is sufficient for me. Thank you for checking out still. I hope you are doing well. Have a great day buddy.
Can we connect multiple subs to group ? If we can get home theater audio support in the future omg ♥️😎
Hello Arnold, from what I have found, you can only connect one sub to a pair. From what I understand, you can connect multiple stereo speaker pairs into multiple groups. I only have 2 echos that can make a pair. I have not been able to try multiple pairs in a group. It would be nice to be able to make a home theater with echos. I am curious how the Amazon Link and Link plus will work and if it will expanded the stereo pair functionality. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day Arnold.
Craig really likes to Feel It Sill ;)
thanks for the review
Enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Hello Dean you are welcome and thank you very much. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Thank you sharing that and for watching. Have a great day Dean.
Hopefully in the future you can use your phone's Bluetooth with this sub.
Hello MidoriMonorail. I am there with you. Hopefully this and stereo pairing will open up to Bluetooth. It is a little disappointing it doesn’t work with Bluetooth. Fingers crossed that Amazon is working on this. I will definitely follow up once that becomes available. Thank you for your comment and for watching. Have a great day.
It sucks that the sub doesn't have a rca input on the back to hook it up to a 5.1 system
I don’t know whether you know or not
If you have more than one Amazon speaker
Set them all to multi room
Then when you want to play some music you just have to name the music you want
And you don’t have to say play on multi room
I paired mines with the Bose sound link and it has deep bass.
I add new alexa pieces every year. Got the Studio last year. It is the best yet. It seams like it's this sub. Anything gained by adding the sub to the studio?
Do you have a more recent video? The App now looks different and I do not think my sub is working although it says it is connected. Does the sub work with Pandora? I would appreciate any advice.
having issues pairing my sub. says make sure network are the same in which they are
I'm assuming you can't pair the sub with multiple devices? For example an Echo in the kitchen and dining room and you only wanted one on, would you have to re-pair every time? It would be good if this was just a sub that would run regardless of other devices were playing. Also, will this play when you have multi-room audio playing?
Hello Ben, you can't pair it with multiple devices. Only one device at a time. I am away on vacation and cannot check it at this time for playing in multi-room audio. I would suggest if you have more then 2 echos to put two in speaker pairing and then try to add them to a group. I wish I could try it out now and give you a better answer. Thank you for watching and for your question. Have a great day.
I just got the sub yesterday and got it paired with my echo still no sounds from the sub....
I cannot get my Echo Sub to connect. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... any help? I have two Echo Studio speakers and an Echo Sub.
The Amazon Subwoofer also should be compatible with Amazon Studio speaker.
Yes it is. The studio wasn’t out when I made this video.
you need at least 100 of those to sound good
Great job once again. Enjoyed "live" today also.
PS: Go easy on WalMart and McDonalds. They are no different than Jeff Bezos. :-) JimE
Hello Blackemmons, thank you very much. I appreciate you checking out the live stream.
I respect what you are saying about WalMart, McDonalds and Amazon. I think Amazon gets to have a clean image being a website and not seeing what goes on behind the scenes. Similarly with Apple. One thing about McDonalds, I do enjoy me a Sausage Egg McMuffin and a Big Mac. I like that I can both at the same time with all day breakfast.
Thanks again for watching and for the feedback. Have a great day. Hopefully I will catch you on the next stream.
Hi always tempted by new gadgets & white Show from eBay UK should soon be on its way to me here in France. However, I do have a very expensive & ancient Bose 5:1 system connected to Spotify via Bluetooth & I guess from other comments I could also connect my Spot. Folks do seem to have problems with the Sub & the Echo Pluses so not for me at the moment. Thanks for your review tho' I could hear extraneous noise through my headphones. 🤔😎
Hello Roger, thank you for sharing your setup. It is hard to replace a system that works well for you. I put together a nice Denon receiver sound system and see no reason to get rid of it. I would get an Echo Dot and connect it up to your Bose Setup. Then you can go right from the Dot with spotify. You can then make that your default music source in the Alexa app. When you ask for a song, artist, etc, it would get it from spotify.
I will have to listen to the video with headphones. After the fact, I realize I was playing it too loud for my microphone. Thank you for leaving a comment and for watching. Have a great day.
I have the sub system with the third gen dot. The sub is rated at 100 watts, I've noticed the sub only reaches 10 watts at full volume. I can't reach the other 90 watts on the sub. Is there a fix for this. I bought it because of the 100 watt rating. I like the sub and want to keep it. However, that's a lot of money for 10 watts...
That is a bummer that it is not receiving more power. I wonder if it is capped out at the power of the Echo device. But that does not make sense if that is what they have done. Since it is a lower wattage echo speaker, it may not be able to drive the bass higher than its capacity. That would be messed up if that was the case. It is a lot of money for the sub. I would rather put that money into one of the new echo 3rd generations and boost the overall sound. I did a video on the two new echos and the 3rd gen echo sounds good. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
Can I use it while watching movies on my laptop? Is there any way that I can use it while watching movies on my laptop while its connect to my Amazon Echo
I would like to know! I have Alexa 2nd generations plus a sub woofer which one do I set up first , i tried setting mines with out luck so please help my get this going.
Can it work in Multiroom ? Left right and sub in one room and a echo in another room .
Hello Steven, yes it can work for mulitroom. It will show it as a stereo pair group that can be selected. Thanks for watching and the question. Have a great day.
Rally cool!
Hello Elmagodejujuy, I am glad that you liked it. It is pretty cool and does fill out the sound. Thank you for your comment and watching. Have a great day.
So the sub does work with echo dot 3rd gen. I don’t have to have an echo???
Hello Amber, yes the sub will work with the dot 3rd gen. It is the only dot that it works with. If you get an echo. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
Love this channel. Great info for echo users. Keep up the good work.
Hello Bkbrown5881, thank you very much. That is very cool to hear. I am really glad you are enjoying the channel. I will try not to let you down and keep the echo info coming. Thank you for leaving this comment and for sticking around for future videos. Have a great day.
hi, will this sub work with my echo show 10 swivel screen? thanks......
No sub until the Bluetooth can work through it.
Hello Jerry, I am there with you on that one. If you are not using the streaming services, it might not make sense. Thanks for watching. Happy New Year.
Does it work with 4th gen
I think it's crazy that the sub doesn't work with Prime videos. That's a showstopper for me.
Hello Bill, I am right there with you. That does not make sense not working with prime video. I understand somewhat not working with bluetooth. But, not working with an Amazon service is odd. I hope some of this changes with updates.
Thank you for your comment and for watching. Have a great day.
Craig's Tech Talk any update on this ? Still no video support ?
Only video support when paired with an echo and a fire Tv 4K or fire tv cube in theater mode.
Does the subwoofer work with Spotify?
Hello Reece, my apologies for the delay in responding. I do not have a spotify premium account. But it is one of the supported Amazon/Alexa services and shows no limitations of using it with the sub. It should be good to go. Thank you for watching and for your question. Have a great day.
hi, does this woofer work with my echo show10 swivel screen? thanks......
Not sure, I would look it up and see what devices are compatible. That Echo was added after the video was made. Thanks for watching.
Will it connect to a 2nd gen echo dot?
Why didn't they just bang everything into this device? Like the Google home max. I would of bought it as an all in one but can't see myself buying it just for a sub.
Graham Moran because amazon trying to show to people what a 2.1 system should be and why would amazon copy google
Hello Graham, I think they are definitely trying to break things up into components to give people options of a configuration that they would want. You can do a dot or Echo and a sub. Or you can do a 2.1 like JW Vlogs mentions. I also think you would end up with a very big device they wanted to put that 6" speaker in it. The sub is pretty big. It would be nice to see the option though of the sub with the echo and smaller speakers built in. Might not be a big seller for them with these options available.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. Have a great day Graham.
Hello JW Vlogs, I think that is a good point and good to point out the 2.1 option for people to set it up they way they want. They can spread them out as true left and right speakers. Thank you for watching and for your comment. Have a great day too JW.
cool m8 thanks for reply
Hello Steven, you are welcome and thank you. I appreciate you leaving a comment. Have a great weekend.
Hi Craig, I love to buy the new echo plus 2nd gen but sadly its not available to my country. Is it possible, If you can buy me one and pay you?
What kind of computer was that you using there at the end with the lyrics on screen
I was using an Echo Show 2nd generation with Amazon Music. Only Amazon Music will show the lyrics on the Echo Shows.
It's ( The Echo Sub) not a sub at all. To have some decent bass, I have to turn up the volume of my 2 Echo Dots 4 g real loud. It's suck ' because at normal near field listening level, the Echo Sub produces a weak , very weak bass. My under $200.00 Klipsch Promedia 2.1 on the other hand can produce a high quality loud and deep bass at a low level listening.
Does it work with Bluetooth streaming?
No it does not. Only when using an Alexa supported streaming service.
Can you connect to echo studio..
Yes you can.
Cool cause im thinking of geting one..
Does echo sub works with echo 3rd gen?
Yes it does work with the new 3rd gen full size echo.
Yes it does.
Nice
Hello TheLarry168, thank you. I am glad that you enjoyed the video and the sub. It does kick up the bass. Thank you for watching and for your comment. Have a great day.
hey
Hello Ashley, I hope you are doing well. I am sorry for the late response, I have been traveling to German for vacation with the family. Thank you for saying hi and for all of your support. Be well Ashley.
No problem I hope you're having a good time. Can't wait to see your next live show
Alexa use to tell me what the skills were but idk why she stopped talking. After you get home let me know whats going on with it.
That is odd that it stopped telling the skills. I wonder if Amazon broke a few things with the latest big updates they did. Hopefully it will get worked out.
W.O.W.
Big? For a sub that's tiny!
No se escucha muy bien.. vibra demasiado, pienso que se va a distorsionar mucho con la mayoría de las canciones.
