Firmware Update For The New Amazon Echo Delivers Better Audio Quality

The second-generation Amazon Echo smart speaker has received a new firmware update that fixes an audio issue. The firmware update has finally pumped up the bass of the Echo speaker, which is now able to deliver better sound quality. The second generation Amazon Echo received mostly positive reviews when it was first released on Oct. 31. However, many users as well as reviewers complained about the lack of bass that the speaker was able to output compared to the first generation Echo speaker. The Verge said on its initial review that the new Echo speaker sounded "thin and flat," while CNET said that it had "weak bass at high volumes."
