Amazon announces Echo Studio and Echo Dot speakers with improved audio

Amazon has revealed new Echo speakers, although they don't look much different on the outside. In 2020, it unveiled a completely redesigned Echo with a spherical shape instead of its previous cylindrical construction. Instead, the company says it has improved the audio performance of both the high-end Echo Studio and the compact Echo Dot while keeping the same overall design for both. The retooled Echo Studio comes with new spatial audio processing that improves on Amazon's previous 3D sound technology. The company says we can expect better stereo sound with "greater, width, clarity and presence."
