구글 vs 애플 vs 아마존
스마트폰과 모바일 거의 모든 영역에서 이 세업체가 다투고 있다.
아마존 | 구글 | 애플 | |
전자책 | 킨들 | 구글북스 | 아이북스 |
스마트폰과 태블릿 | 아마존 파이어 등... 이건 실패 | 안드로이드폰 | 아이폰, 아이패드 |
비디오 스트리밍 | 프라임 비디오 | 유튜브 | 애플TV+ |
스마트홈/스피커 | 에코 | 네스트 | 홈팟 |
음악 스트리밍 | 아마존 뮤직 언리미티드 | 유튜브 뮤직 | 애플뮤직 |
스마트홈 분야는 여전히 각축장이고, 오히려 샤오미가 가장 잘 나가고 있지 않나???
유심히 보다가, 스마트스피커들이 PC 스피커 역할도 해주면 좋겠는데, 애플과 구글은 특유의 폐쇄성으로 PC 연결을 위한 라인입력이 없다.
아마존 에코만 3.5mm 인아웃 단자가 있다.
그런데, 애플의 홈팟과 비슷한 모양을 한 에코스튜디오!!!!
3.5mm aux 단과 optical 입력단자까지 있다. 와우.
그러면, PC 스피커를 대체할 수 있지!!!

테크레이더 평점 4.5
요약번역 : 지금껏 아마존이 만든 최고의 스피커. 오디오파일(오디오 매니아)들은 까다로워서 최고의 스피커로 꼽지는 않을 것이다.
하지만, 저렴한 가격을 추천한다. ( 199$ 약 24만원.... )

Verdict
In the Echo Studio, Amazon has made its best speaker yet. It's ambitious, flexible, serves multiple purposes and comes at a low price point that only a company with the scale of Amazon could competitively achieve.
It’s a bombastic speaker, packed full of not just smart home and assistant tech, but smart audio considerations too. At its best, its 3D audio effects breathe new life into your favorite songs, while even at its worst it remains a ferociously capable smart speaker. And that's before considering its deserving place alongside your TV, too.
The audiophile community is an eternally picky one, and again the Echo Studio is unlikely to fully win them over. Inconsistencies in the quality of the 3D audio mixes will make that feature, for the time being at least, a party trick rather than a go-to draw.
But at this price point, it's fair to say that Amazon isn't just courting audiophile ears – it wants everyone's ears, and is looking to romance them with a tantalizing balance between audio quality and affordability. If you've yet to nab an Amazon Echo speaker, the Amazon Echo Studio is the one to buy.

요약 번역하자면, 소리는 크지만, 저음이 붕붕거리고, 떨어진다. 소노스원보다도 못하다. ㅠ
아마존의 고음질에 대한 열정은 칭찬하지만, 오디오 파일(하이파이 오디오 매니아) 수준이라고 단언할 수 없겠다...
하지만, 가격을 생각하면 강추한다.
Verdict
Amazon's eagerness to push sound quality and its adoption of hi-es audio has to be a good thing, and the Echo Studio is a capable contender in the crowded smart speaker market.
It sounds big, goes loud and there's a good level of detail and dynamics. We're not convinced entirely by the way it handles bass, and we wouldn't exactly call it audiophile quality, but for the money, the Echo Studio has a lot going for it.

Producing immersive, directional audio is always going to be difficult, but doing it from a single speaker source is even more challenging. So how does it fare?
We begin with a couple of tracks designed to showcase the Echo Studio’s handling of 3D audio. Ariana Grande’s 7 Rings played through Amazon Music HD is presented with height and space, elevating the lead and background vocals.
It’s an open, airy presentation that suits the 3D environment well. The speaker sits you in the jaws of a tall soundstage, where there's a good amount of detail to percussion and high frequencies.
The deployment of the track’s bass raises an eyebrow, though. There’s power and weight, but also a tendency to overpower the track. The Echo Studio isn’t the most controlled or subtle when it comes to dropping the tune's big, bold bassline.
We switch to Gregory Porter’s Mona Lisa cover and, again, the speaker is in its element with this particular 3D mix. There’s impressive height to all the various sections of the orchestra, mixed with good dynamics and an impressive sense of scale. There isn’t much in the way of bass to accompany this track, so you’re mainly left with an ensemble of detailed and entertaining mids and highs.

We play The Jackson 5’s I Want You Back, remixed for 3D audio and things are a bit more hit and miss. Michael’s lead vocal sounds a bit lost in the soundstage and the balance feels slightly off. The quality of your 3D experience may vary a bit, depending on the final mix.
Of course, only a fraction of songs are mixed this way, so it's important to note many of the positive attributes transfer over to stereo tracks. Destiny’s Child’s Say My Name delivers a clear vocal cutting through and a good sense of separation between the different percussive elements.
The Studio is also capable of a little processing wizardry to add height to stereo mixes – simply keep the 'upmixing' setting enabled on the Alexa app. But don’t expect the same quality of results you’d get from a well-tuned Atmos mix.
With the Destiny's Child track, the setting sucks some of the drive and impetus from the song. The result is a loss of drive and drama. Similarly, the Manic Street Preachers' Motorcycle Emptiness sounds solid, cohesive and balanced in normal mode. But, enable the ‘Stereo Spatial Enhancement’ in the app and it all sounds a little unbalanced and over-processed.
Amazon recommends keeping this setting on at all times so you can enjoy the effects of the new sound, but we’d be tempted to turn it off.
There's no doubt the Amazon Echo Studio sounds bigger and goes much louder than some rivals, such as the Sonos One. But the Sonos sounds more composed, offering a more cohesive sound and higher quality bass. It can't summon the 3D processing of the Echo Studio, but we prefer its overall balance.

The Good The Amazon Echo Studio produces a monstrous cloud of sound that works great with action movies and spacious styles of music. It offers a lot of features, including Dolby Atmos, excellent connectivity and Fire TV hookup, for a relatively affordable price. The microphones are quite sensitive.
The Bad
사운드가 뭉게질 때가 있다.
The sound isn't always very distinct, which makes it less suitable to showcasing 3D music or Atmos.
Multiroom support lags behind Sonos and Apple AirPlay.
Dolby Atmos soundtracks require a Fire TV device.
The Bottom Line
에코스튜디오는 아마존이 만든 스피커 중에서는 가장 크고, 가장 소리가 좋다. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The Echo Studio is the biggest and best-sounding speaker Amazon has produced to date
