This is the most biased review I have seen how much did sonos pay you for this

The comments on this video have been more helpful than any comparison video. A bunch of people who own both unbiasedly admitting studio is better, which I’d already assumed tbh given the age of the Sonos. And if I want to set multiple speakers in the future (when I’m not living in a single room in shared accommodation) the Studio is compatible with a more expensive Sonos setup. Thanks guys!

Straight away you can tell you prefer the Sonos. Well I have both and the Studio sounds way better.

You mentioned one of the strengths for Sonos was multiroom capability.

And, they provide all the smart home voice control wherever they are installed.

"no play pause buttons" Dude what part of voice-assisted technology do you not understand? just say "Alexa pause" i have an Echo for 2 years and if I pressed a button more than 3 times is an exaggeration.

I've had a full 5.1 surround system in the past. Amp, tuner, boxes, cables under the tv. The whole package. Sound and audio is so subjective. Last year, I cleared the lot out, including many metres of cable and speaker wires. I'm now delighted with my Sonos system spread throughout the house. Hassle free, great technology, superb sound, and it looks great. I've absolutely no desire to go back to “box technology”!

I have the Sonos Playbar, the Beam, and one Sonos One. What separates Sonos is not the audio but the incredible software. It walks you through everything. A negative, no bluetooth. Everything comes over the internet. I subscribe to Google Play, so the Alexa option on the Sonos and the echo is essentially worthless to me for selecting music. A few weeks ago, I got the new Beo Stage Soundbar. So, I put my three Sonos devices, in one bedroom, The Sonos app lets them work perfectly together. You can have them work together as your TV speakers, or for music. Absolutely amazing software.

Hey, you missed the fact that if you are using Amazon music you can use a tablet or a smartphone Amazon music app to control the music in a Chromecast style way

Hmmm.....the Studio obviously sounds clearer. the Sonos mids or highs sounded muffled. Maybe everyone has different ears but the Studio did sound crisp.

As someone has already mentioned....TURN OFF THE SPATIAL ENHANCEMENT !

(Note: This was written by me and posted elsewhere, so ignore the personal references - I pasted the text here so that I didn’t have to write it again) Ty: Two regular Echo speakers paired in stereo mode don't even come close to the ear-pleasing sound that comes from two Echo Studios in stereo mode. As you said, Ty, you listened to only one Studio speaker, and some of that listening was in a surround mode. The Echo Studio does not "shine" with just one Studio (when playing regular stereo music files, which are the most common). Two of them paired in stereo mode sound exponentially better. I humbly ask you to reconsider your 7 rating for sound quality and change it to 9 or 10, for the benefit of potential buyers interested in purchasing high quality equipment (no profit or financial interest for me). If using two Echo Studios in stereo mode, turn off the "Upmixing" toggle switch in the Alexa app (also called “Stereo Spatial Enhancement” in different versions of the Alexa app). Upmixing tries to adapt regular 2-channel stereo music to the 3D potential of the Studio. If you don't turn off upmixing, the sound will not be that clear and direct, and you will get the wrong impression about how good these speakers really are. The speaker will try to add some processing to the sound and that doesn't sound very good in stereo mode with two paired Studios. That processing may sound “ok” with just one Studio, but even then it's hit-or-miss, depending on which song is playing. Up-mixing is not perfect, as it is a fake or simulated (artificial) 3D effect; it’s not best for all songs and is awful on some songs (regular 2-channel stereo music). Note that upmixing is not needed for audio that is already encoded in 3D (like Sony’s 360 Reality Audio). Comparison of the Echo Studio to the Regular Echo: The regular $99 Echo has drivers (internal speaker units) whose sound gets somewhat trapped inside the enclosure case, as the separate woofer and tweeter drivers face each other with a small space between them (they point down and up, not out -- one pointing at the other!) instead of facing outwardly like the Echo Studio’s drivers. But the 3 midrange drivers and one tweeter inside each Echo Studio are facing outward and project the sound outside of the enclosure. That makes a big difference -- there's much more clarity and presence in the midrange and treble. It does not get muffled or trapped inside the enclosure at all; it is allowed to come out clearly and completely. I am hearing detail in songs I’ve been playing for decades -- details I’ve never heard before. Those details are clear as can be without being harsh or grating to the ears. The outward facing circular arrangement of the midrange and tweeter array act like sort of a wide-dispersion tweeter - no matter where you are standing you hear each speaker channel’s sound very clearly (ideal for when you are moving around, working in the kitchen, etc. And I am talking about stereo mode here, not a surround mode). The bass is clear and mostly tight - just right without overdoing it. And if you listen to talk radio on these, the sound (EQ) automatically adjusts itself so that the talker's voice doesn’t sound boomy (those built-in optimizing microphones work well). Finally, it is recommended to adjust the EQ settings using the Alexa app, and set the EQ to: Bass middle (5 on the scale), Midrange boosted to about 6 or 7 out of 10, and Treble to about 8 out of 10 (this sounds best in the very small alcove that I have these speakers set up in). Use a good-sounding music file for test listening - an audio file that has never been compressed more than once, and has been encoded well, and been recorded in high quality (not necessarily a hi-res file). An excellent sounding sample to buy and use for testing purposes is Rudolf from Burl Ives’ album “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas”. Sure, it’s an old-fashioned song but it is extremely well-recorded and encoded (at least on the specific album I mentioned). You can purchase it for 99 cents on Amazon’s online digital music store if you want to have it stored in the cloud and playable on demand -- on these speakers. Note about Setup: if you have a weak Wi-Fi signal, the slow signal from your Wi-Fi router may cause some confusing delays during setup, so if you encounter this, begin by finding a way to get an adequate signal strength to these excellent speakers. Move your router closer or maybe buy a Wi-Fi extender if your Wi-Fi signal is weak in the spot where the two Studios are located. After a minute or so of getting established, they will find their way to sync with each other and play in perfect, flawless stereo without you having to do anything after the setup.

Hello Jonathan, if I set up the Sonos as my main speaker for my mac book pro. will I be able to use the mic & speaker for video calls as will?

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, kzread.infoUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

It's important to explain that the Sonos One lacks Bluetooth and Line-In connections. So, if you want to connect anything other than streaming audio services or a pre-existing Sonos setup, its basically useless. I purchased the Sonos One for my Audio Technica Bluetooth enabled turntable and found no way to run audio through the speaker aside from dropping $450 on the Sonos Port home stereo system or by purchasing an echo dot and having that play through the Sonos One as its preferred speaker (which, at that point, why wouldn't I just go with the Amazon Studio).

I am thinking about getting an echo studio. Is it the best speaker for around 250€ or are there some that have better sound quality?

Thank you for this video - well-presented (though maybe a tad repetitious?). I have neither speaker (though I am tied-in to the Amazon system, with five echos already). But I watched this with interest to see which speaker, if either, would be suitable for an audio upgrade. I did not realize you were a Sonos specialist - if you said-so, I missed it, sorry - I gathered from comments. I found your review bias but not in the way people seem to claim - as I have neither speaker, I cannot tell. The bias I detected was to modern pop songs and I have serious doubts that pop is a good way to demonstrate any speaker - pop from this generation, my generation, anything between or before. I love pop but one hardly needs great hi-fi to appreciate it. I also know you cannot risk YT copyright-strikes - but you could have tested off-camera and shown a comparison chart. You kept talking of "songs" - now I appreciate some people use that word to mean "tracks" or pieces of music but you did keep talking of singing. What about all classical instrumental music? What about jazz? (I seldom like jazz but many hi-fi geeks love it) What about rock - especially prog-rock, which varies between treble and bass all the time? What about using Queen as a test? - there is a whole hi-fi challenge in just one canon. But using a boppy-pop tune - from the 1950s to 2019, well not a decent test of hi-fi, is it? Anyway, because you kept referencing songs and singing - which I do listen to but did think a poor test, I cannot use your hard-crafted review, alas in my decision. For the record, I do not know if you were bias toward Sonos but I do believe your review was honest and had integrity from your perspective - my wish is for better testing but I liked your presentation style. Thank you for your effort. Best wishes.

You might want to retry the sound test with the speakers near a wall, where they are normally placed.

Depends upon your budget, your space, the genre, and personal preferences. I will say that, after buying 2 Studios during the past couple of days, I’ve tried to pair them and immediately gave up, because I have better things to do this weekend, than spend it configuring audio tech, like it’s Computers 101, from back in the day.

Connecting multiple phones to the echo is effortless. You literally just tell Alexa to connect Spotify and the echo shows up on your available devices in Spotify on your phone. I don't understand why this guy found it complicated. My wife and I swap devices connected to our echos (we have several all connected into one single home audio system) practically every day.

Is there any way to add a sub to the Sonos? Not the Sonos sub. I love the clarity of the Sonos but I like more bass which is why I'm leaning more on the Echo Studio speaker. I have a Sony 500 watt sub that would be perfect for the Sonos One, if it was possible to pair the two. I noticed you said the Echo Studio has full list of Alexa skills-does that mean the Sonos can't do everything Alexa can do?

From the off this bloke was a Sonos fanboy.

There is no way in hell that Sonos sounds better than the echo studio. I’m getting the echo studio

I notice in the video on the Echo Studios in settings the 'fake' stereo separation is turned on for this review. If this is turned off the sound is much better and clearer and maybe would have shown the Studio in a more favourable light?!?. I found this out by accident messing around with the settings and there is also a youtube video on this entitled 'if you have a studio disable this feature'. I do think this is an extremely bias review as Smart home sounds are an official Sonos dealer and obviously don't sell Amazon products. The guy is hardly going to recommend you go out and buy a Studio over a Sonos one but the fact that he does suggest that the sound quality is very similar should tell you how good the studio is even though in the review they didn't have the studio in its clearest setting. I have owned both products so feel I can provide you with a biased review. I started with the Sonos one, I wasn't blown away by the sound, maybe due to the hype. Its a good speaker but a terrible 'smart speaker'. We had multiple issues which neither sonos help ,line or amazon could fix. We were dutifully sent a replacement which also refused to work properly as a 'smart speaker' so after many days in contact with sonos help line and installing and uninstalling alexa app, sonos app and spotify app the second Sonos was returned. This was coincidentally at the time the studio was released so I pre-ordered one. Its arrived and setup was a breeze, Alexa worked flawlessly and so did connection to spotify. The sound was great sounding 'bigger' than the sonos but again I wasn't blown away until I turned off stereo separation which improved the sound no end. To conclude if you love your hifi and home cinema neither of these speakers will provide you with exceptional sound compared to even a budget to mid-range hi-fi setup. If however you want a 'smart' speaker and you want a bigger and improved sound quality over the more basic Amazon echo's these speaker are where you need to be. The sonos is a good speaker but very poor for both alexa and google assistant and general smart connectivity. A glance at the current amazon reviews for this shows its hugely lacking in the voice control dept. The Studio is easy to set-up, and Alexa just works really well as you would expect. Now I have turned off the stereo separation function the clarity is there, the studio is louder and definitely has more bass than the sonos. For me as an owner of both the Echo studio takes it on sound and is far superior in all voice control and connectivity departments

Wow, you can tell the studio sounds way better. Even in your video without hearing it in person.

So what happens if I buy 5 speakers for my Surroundsound living room will that work for the Dolby

If I was to connect a Tidal account to the Sonos can voice control be used to control the account or can voice only be used via Alexa and Google? Can I ask the speaker to play specific tracks or playlists on Tidal or do I need to connect Tidal to a 3rd party service like Alexa to use voice control? I’m interested in Tidal but Alexa and Google don’t support Tidal in the UK and without voice control It’s pointless.

Pretty easy for the Sonos speaker to sound mid and high clear, it has terrible bass. In terms of sound you can reduce the Echoes bass and get very good Dolby Atmos sound when playing a song that features mids and highs. But you can’t get the lower bass frequencies that some songs and many Movies require with the Sonos. Any minor bugs found in the Echo will most likely be fixed in future updates as Amazon is a juggernaut focused on improving.

I use my echo studio for watching TV on my 4k stick it's fantastic

The fact that soooo many Sonos owners in the comments are saying that this review is bias, speaks volumes to me. I too found this video to be absolutely biased. The fact that he thought the Sonos was clearer was a shock to me, it most certainly wasn't...dead giveaway. The sound difference was just too blatant to deny. Seriously though, if you turn off the spacial 3D setting for the echo studio in the app, the studio gains even more direct midrange fullness (vocals) and increased volume...and if he knew that, and left that out of the review, shame shame. This is the first review in all my years of watching KZread that actually got under my skin a bit. The guy was either dishonest for loyalty reasons (to Sonos), or just has terrible ears for audio. No offense, just say'n. And for what its worth, I like both brands...but when it comes to sound quality in a review, let's be honest here.

Hi Anthony, thank you for your comment and I am sorry to read that you find this review biased. We did mention we like both of these speakers at the start of the video and we understand sound is subjective to taste, some people may argue that Sonos sounds better whereas some people may argue that the Echo sounds better, and that is absolutely fine. We made this video to give our opinion (as sound is subjective) and compare the features, simply to inform our viewers. Regarding the 3D spacial setting in the app, this was not clear at the time of review. Had we have known this, we would have tried it but we tested the speakers at factory setting out of the box, to give the most objective comparison.

I’m sorry for the price I will go with echo studio any day of the week I actually have four of them and it is amazing when you pair them together

Wow both at 75% volume the echo studio crushed the sonos... echo studio for me thanks.

whats the most important thing in a speaker? the sound or looks?

LIstening through my Bose Mini 2. Either one you chose, would be nice if they had some color choices. Black only sure is boring! I’d be interested in IPad version if I could make it wasn’t stuck in Apple Music store. Blah! Thanks for the sound comparison.

I have sonos and a studio the studio sound is alot better and im planning on getting another also the studio connects to other alexa speakers so you can play mucic around the house the sonos only connects to other sonos speakers

I prefer Amazon Echo devices over Google Home or Sonos. I like these mediatek-powered devices for their affordability and efficiency.

Which one has a battery and can work without cord?

No Offence but slightly biased comments. Thanks for the review!

Agree the Bass in Echo is too much but really I like more the middle range in echo, are you sure about the 2 amps in Sonos because what you call separation seems there are some missed middle range for me I will like to see the sound curve to be sure.

So has the echo studio the better sound quality? Better then the Sonos one?

Sponsored By Sonos

A great speaker, particularly for listening to 3D audio on Amazon HD, albeit a newer model is on the way that will provide even more immersive sound and will come in a white color option.

Is the newest studio a lot better? When I buy now a echo studio from amazon then it is the newest echo studio right? From 2023 right?

I have studio. It is great!

I have both and the echo sounds a little better

We get it, u love sonos. Btw, the playbar in the back is not helping.

Definitely works for sonos.

Can you use the Echo Studio Smart Speaker as a Bluetooth speaker like with your pc, Mac, tablet?

We understand why some might feel we have a bias because we sell Sonos products, along with other brands. We make these videos simply because we want customers to be informed of the pros and cons of speakers (even those we might not sell). As we highlighted at the start of the video, we do like both of these speakers and think they appeal to different people wanting different things. For those who would like to read an independent review, please see the link below from WhatHiFi, the world’s leading independent guide to HiFi products: www.whathifi.com/advice/amazon-echo-studio-vs-sonos-one-which-is-better We hope this clears a few things up.

Sonos is overpriced like Bose, pure marketing. I prefer Sony or Samsung. And the Echo Studio over Sonos.

Did you have 3D audio up-scaling turned off (on by default) during your test? It sounds like the up-scaling attempt on non-3d audio is perhaps the cause of the muddy-ness.

This video is probably sponsored by Sonos , I have both and the Echo Studio sounds better.😒

My complaint about the Sonos is more it being a third party product for voice assistant, it doesn’t work well with voice commands at times. I got other Echos in house and this one always wants to takeover and play from it when it’s not listening.

@@loveistheanswer5924 Sonos by a very tiny bit. I overall like the Echo studio better and I don’t miss the Sonos. I would say buy based on your setup, if your buying more echos, get the studio. If you’re buying more Sonos get Sonos.

with the sonos soundbar on the back lol

You can tell it's baised with the SONOS Playbar in the background from the start!

One of the best video comparisions on youtube.!

I think the studio looks way better. As far as the sound goes, I won't be getting mine for 3 more weeks because they are on back order. So, I have no opinion as of yet.

@@loveistheanswer5924 I have two and have them paired together for stereo. I love my Studio.

The trend these days is to push bass out to match current bass heavy dance music. The Sonos 1 is well balanced and suitable for all types of music. The Echo Studio is loud, muddy, and has too much bass. Both apps lack any usable equalizer. At least with Poweramp on Android and using Bluetooth, I can set proper equalization for music. The only reason I’ll be purchasing another Echo Studio is for a teenager that wants to control her Zigbee enabled lighting through the Alexa app. If Sonos included this on the 1 or the Move, I’d certainly purchase either of those instead. This was one of the better reviews and I appreciate it.

People keep banging on about the Bass pun intended lol, it can easilly be turned down in the app and the trebble can be increased.

If you ask me both sounded a little muffled. What kind of camera are you using (mic probably not picking up audio properly (not a 5.1 mic))? I don't think youtube actually cares if you play a few seconds of 3d audio to show a preview of what it is like.

Studio way better..it also can be controlled with the echo remote control

I agree with what others are saying for starters saying it's annoying you can't skip a track who the hell uses the too of the speaker to control it everyone uses the app

James Agg Hi James, thanks for the comment. We agree but this was a feature that people wanted and were very vocal about when it was not included on Sonos. Bose go one step further and even offer numbered buttons on some of their speakers to allow quick access to music sources 👍🏻

So the Studio has Dolby Atmos, "but if your not interested in this feature skip to 13.10" and we'll talk more about your favourite the sonos! I think the Studio wins hands down. I'm gonna get myself one. Amazon should pay you, everybody's out buying the Echo Studio now.

Have you tested both? I am thinking about getting a studio. 🤔🙂

Interesting. Would recommend the Echo plus 2nd gen in a stereo pair if you've not tried that and along with an echo sub that will blow any Sonos one pair out of the water. Spotify streaming quality is awful. I used to subscribe and I think people do actually like higher quality bit rate - now very outdated in relation to Tidal or the best one, Amazon ultra HD. I'm not an Amazon fan boy, I've tried them all.

Wich has better sound quality the echo studio or the Sonos one?

Great Video, I have many customers that didnt know Sonos, when they hear it for the First Time they told me "Sounds better than Bose" I mean Sonos sounds really Great, no ofense but I dont Think The Echo studio its in the same League.

I wonder if smart home sounds Ltd is a major Sonos reseller? Hm!

Quite biased, but probably very accurate. Thanks for the video. I’m a huge Sonos fan (11), so I’m biased as well.

I had the Sonos, their was a delay when listening to music and KZread, I have gigabit speeds!

Actually though keep up with the good work it's nice to see someone on KZread taking these speakers seriously and making them a decent length and very well articulated good work man

The studio is a surprisingly good speaker.
