Source: Digitec GalaxusThanks to its great sound, the ECHO Studio (2025) is at the top of all the Alexa speakers tested so far. The Dot Max doesn't offer the same high sound quality due to its design, but it doesn't have to hide either. Like the Studio, it also shines with its great voice control and integrated smart home hub.
