Amazon Echo Studio (2022) review: woman listening to music on a home speaker in a living room

Amazonmakes some of thebest smart speakersfor buyers on a budget, but while devices such as theEcho Studiosound great the Alexa app hasn’t been as good as rival devices'. As a long-time Alexa, Apple andSpotifyuser I’m not a fan of the Alexa app when it comes to controlling audio, especially with groups of speakers and multiple rooms. So I’m pleased to see that Amazon has upgraded the Alexa app to deliver much better multi-room features.

What devices does Alexa’s multi-room menu control?

The app works with the current Echo line-up, including the little Echo Dot and the big Echo Studio. It also enables you to play audio on Echo Show devices and onFire TVdevices too.

Alexa devices have come a long way since their debut, when they were more about the smart than the speaker; some of the best ones are surprisingly good, especially when you consider the price tag. So it’s good to see the app evolving too, making Alexa audio that little bit easier, more convenient and more controllable.
