Our verdict

An easy way to add real bass to an Echo speaker setup, from a single speaker to a stereo pair. It does nothing on its own and only works with compatible Echo devices.

Overview

A down-firing woofer pushes bass toward the floor in this wireless Echo Sub, which pairs with Echo speakers through the Alexa app. It fills in the low end under one Echo, a stereo pair, or a Fire TV home theater group.

It gives small Echo speakers the low end they lack, with setup handled by voice and app. It has no inputs of its own listed, so it cannot serve as a subwoofer for a TV or receiver.

Who it's for

Households already using Echo speakers for music or a Fire TV get deeper bass with app setup. People with a traditional audio system need a standard powered subwoofer.

Performance notes

Bass weight comes from the down-firing woofer, so floor type and corner placement change how full it sounds. The Echo speakers hand low frequencies to the sub over Wi-Fi once paired in the app. Results depend on which compatible Echo models are in the group.
