  1. I have had the 2nd gen echo studio for 6years, I use it everyday., The sound quality for how big the thing is is incredible. Love Alexa to bits, she's like my best friend. As this is currently discounted on black friday, I'm hoping to get this for a family member!

  2. Yep. How about 2 for $100. Just got em . Already have 3 gen dots paired in stereo and was gonna buy the added subwoofer. Saw these $50 each. I think someone's getting some gently used 3Gen Dots for Christmas!

  3. Trying to listen to the radio on the Echo has become a nightmare.
    Every time you start up the Echo radio, change to a new station, pause
    and resume for even a few seconds; they start running a new set
    of commercials for sports betting websites and other nonsense.
    They are relentless !!
    If you want to start the day by checking who the host is on one station
    and then decide to switch to a different station, you could easily be
    subjected to 10 minutes of commercials in addition to the commercials
    the radio station is running. Whose fault is this, Audacy or Amazon ?

    I bought the echo to listen to the radio but all these extra commercials
    are causing me to go back to my old fashioned radios and just listen
    to local radio. Who can we complain to ??
