Amazon Echo Sub £89.99 with code (Select Accounts) @ Amazon

Hi, serious question, I have two studios, is the sub worth the addition to this setup and also worth the extra £90, or once again in danger of jumping in, on the collective buying ?

It is possible to get this a fair bit cheaper.

I used the 25% off accessories code.
Sent off an old Gen 1 echo to them yesterday that I purchased from Ebay for about £12.50 delivered. This was received and processed by Amazon in a matter of hours.
£20 Voucher credit and 25% off the Echo Sub.
Total cost £59.99
Hope it was worth the hassle, I'm pairing it with a couple of echo studios. (edited)

If this is set up with two x echos as suggested, what happens with non-musical day to day interactions? Can one be set not to ‘listen’ and respond so it’s just working as a speaker?

Bought Mrs one with studio an it only works with Amazon music hd, an not Spotify......unless something has changed.

Mine arrived last night and i intended on connecting it to the Echo Studio in my home office.

This was a huge pain the bum, and not at all straight forward. Must have taken me 3hrs in total of fault diagnosis and trial & error. Was close to sending it back as faulty but then read something on the internet which finally made it work.

Firstly, I had an issue getting them to connect as a pair. This is common apparently. I had to deregister both devices and set them up as new, then they finally connected together.

Second issue, when ever I connected them. My speaker disappeared from Spotify so I couldn't connect to it. Using the Alexa voice command to play music just used the speaker and not the sub. 🤦

Must have deregistered and over and again about 15 times and still no dice. Same result every time.

Tried a factory reset of the Echo Studio to see if it's a previous setting I'd messed with and still nothing. By this point I was convinced the sub was a dud.

Then I read a comment on here saying it only works with Amazon Music. Checked that app and saw the speaker pair. Played music and the sub worked. But I don't use Amazon Music and if it didn't work with Spotify I was going to send it back. However everything I read stated that it should work with Spotify. So back to the internet I went.

One more Google and I got a eureka moment. Apparently if you say "Alexa, Spotify Connect" to the speaker, it tries to force it to connect to Spotify and add it to the list of speakers. I've never had to do this before, my speakers are usually auto-detected in Spotify when I set them up.

Anyway, this worked. And now I'm enjoying the Studio & Sub combo with Spotify music.

What a torturous experience though, usually my Amazon products 'just work' but during my Google research it appears these subs are riddled with software issues.

Sorry for the wall of text. But hopefully this helps others that may be experiencing the same issues. (edited)

I have this grouped with a pair of Echo Studios. Spotify and Amazon music sounds great.

Try are also grouped with a Fire TV cube. Dolby Amtos streamed movies also sound great.

And finally they are also grouped with an Echo Link with a turntable line in. My records sound just as good as a half decent Hifi without the hassle of a separate hifi and speaker system.

In all 3 of these groups the sub really does make a difference.

The only downside is that some audio sources cause the bass to be too powerful for my liking so I have to turn it down (via the Alexa app).

If you’ve got a pair of echo speakers lacking some oomph then consider getting one of these.

Arrived in the morning. Boomy a bit. Very high cut off frequency with echo dot 4. Very loud even on minimum. How to listen in the night in a terraced house... Can't switch it temporarily off. I have mine inside the bed on a carpet. Overall decent upgrade to the sound.

Can get it for £89.99 can anyone convince me why I need one

Thanks so much, Ordered. I've been waiting for a decent price for ages. This will cheer the neighbours up, it's being linked to 2 echo studios!

Code is actually ACCESSORY25

Was about to buy but then remembered how Amazon Music now insists on shuffling & adding random tracks to the CDs that I have already purchased (as well as for every other album). Until they fix that I won't be investing any more money on Amazon speakers or Echos

Is the account specific at random, or has it followed any rules? Would starting a fresh account make it work?

Been thinking of buying one of these this week to compliment my 2 Echo Studios. So it couldn't have come at a better time. Tried the code and it worked, delivery before 1pm tomorrow. 5 monthly payments too so no big hit in the bank account. Super duper! Thanks OP 🏻 (edited)

Would be nice if this work with Sonos. Even the 'cheap' Sonos sub is far too expensive.

Tempted but I’m still thinking the Studio is a better option for me.

works with the dot, which I have and like very much

Bought x

Nice find!

Ah won't work for me, very disappointing with how much I use amazon.
Good deal though, thanks
