EXPLAINED: I ve tested the new echo speakers but there s one thing we need to talk about | Rare Historical Photos

Amazon announced two new speakers in September - the Echo Dot Max and the new Echo Studio. These speakers come blessed with a fresh design and lovely mesh covering, while Amazon says they were designed for Alexa+, something that's currently absent unless you live in the US or Canada.

I've been living with the new speakers for the past month - and we've reviewed the Echo Dot Max here - but there's more to this story than Amazon just launching a couple of new speakers.
