SHOP NOW: As of Oct. 29, shop the new Amazon Echo Studio. It’s the most advanced smart speaker from Amazon, now featuring Dolby Atmos.
On Sept. 30, 2025, Amazon debuted a new collection of Echo devices, built for Alexa+. The new AI-powered voice assistant does a lot more than play whatever music you ask it to. Now Alexa+ can hold a conversation or plan a date night. To keep up with its innovative internal tech, Amazon launched the Echo Dot Max, Echo Show 8, Echo Show 11, and Echo Studio. The latter, the Echo Studio, is the brand’s finest speaker yet, offering a larger design and Dolby Atmos.
The Echo Studio got its first update in six years — it previously debuted in 2019, and the 2025 model looks quite different. As noted by Mashable’s tech editor, Timothy Bech Werth, the new Echo Studio looks a little bit like the Death Star, with its circular orb design and flat control panel. The front panel has simple controls for volume and turning off the voice controls. It’s covered in a new 3D knit material and a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker.

The speaker includes spatial audio as well as Dolby Atmos. So while it does a spectacular job playing music, the Echo Studio can also be used for your in-home theater, creating a true surround sound experience.
It’s going to be Amazon’s biggest screenless speaker, measuring 6.1 inches by 5.8 inches. It’s slightly bigger than Amazon’s old flagship Echo, which seems to have been discontinued.
After a month-long preorder period, the Amazon Echo Studio is now available for purchase for $219.99, making it the second most expensive device in the Echo lineup.
