{"product_id":"amazon-echo-dot-max-smart-speaker","title":"Amazon Echo Dot Max Smart Speaker (International Version)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe weak point of every Echo Dot has been bass, and the Echo Dot Max is Amazon's answer to that specifically. Instead of one full-range driver it splits the job across a dedicated woofer and tweeter, and it doubles as a smart home hub. These are international-version units, and Alexa runs in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo drivers: high-excursion woofer plus custom tweeter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside there are two speakers — a high-excursion woofer optimised for deep bass, and a custom tweeter handling the crisp high notes. Amazon's figure is nearly three times the bass of the Echo Dot (5th Gen), and that gap is most obvious on pop music and on film and TV audio where the previous Dot simply had nothing underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAZ3 silicon and the Omnisense sensor platform\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dot Max runs Amazon's own AZ3 chip and plugs into the Omnisense sensor platform. Amazon states the microphone array is improved with over 50% better wake-word detection, alongside better conversation detection and background noise filtering — in practice, it hears you more reliably with the TV or an extractor fan running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt-in Zigbee, Matter and Thread hub\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unit is itself a smart home hub, supporting Zigbee, Matter and Thread. That means a good number of smart bulbs, sensors and plugs can join directly through the speaker instead of requiring you to buy and power a separate bridge, which is one less box and one less power adaptor behind the furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSound that adapts to the room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmazon describes the Dot Max as producing room-filling sound that adapts automatically to the space it is placed in. The practical benefit is that moving it from a desk to a kitchen counter doesn't send you into an EQ menu — it adjusts on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;background:#f6f6f6\"\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;background:#f6f6f6\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eDrivers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e1 × high-excursion woofer, 1 × custom tweeter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eBass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eNearly 3× the bass of Echo Dot (5th Gen)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eChip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eAZ3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eOmnisense sensor platform\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMicrophones\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eImproved array, over 50% better wake-word detection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSmart home\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eBuilt-in hub: Zigbee, Matter, Thread\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eVoice assistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eAlexa (English)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eVersion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eInternational version\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExisting Echo Dot owners who have always found the sound thin — this is the biggest audio jump the line has made.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomes with a pile of Zigbee or Matter accessories that would rather not run a separate hub.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who wants one small unit in the kitchen or study that plays music and controls the lights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWho it isn't for\u003c\/strong\u003e: serious listeners.

Wake words, music requests, lighting commands and weather queries all need to be spoken in English.
