Customers like the sound quality of the digital device. They mention that it has great sound, nicely fills the physical audio gap, and has a pronounced bass track.

Customers are mixed about the performance of the digital device. Some mention that it works great, delivering powerful, deep bass that transforms their listening experience.

They mention that it only plays music when started through the app, the stereo speaker only works for music, and the subwoofer does not play through the speaker.

Context Disclosure: I began writing and completed this review in real time during my setup experience of my Echo Sub.Received the Echo sub after some issues with the carrier since Amazon ships it only signature required in my area, took an extra day for me to make arrangements to pickup the item elsewhere.Upon unboxing the Echo sub the first thing I noticed is its fabric doesn't match the Charcoal echo design or any other currently available Echo fabric. I don't mind this much but it would have been nice if they matched. The Echo sub has this large sticker over the power connection that says to NOT configure it until I have configured my other Echo devices first.I purchased this Echo sub with a pair of brand-new Echo devices as part of an Amazon Bundle. I unboxed my Echo devices and began setting them up. After completing the setup process and naming my 2 new echo devices (I have more than 10 echo devices in my home, it's becoming a little confusing when keeping track of the new ones) I proceeded to setup the Echo Sub.I had already noticed in adding devices to my updated Amazon Alexa app that there is a new Echo sub option, so I proceeded through that setup process. The setup process makes you watch a video on your device that helps you understand the capability and recommended placement of your new Echo Sub. I really didn't need to watch this video for the information it provided so it would have been nice to skip this.After the Video was completed I proceeded through the steps of connecting it to my home wireless network and setting up a speaker pair / group. I got to the screen where I could clearly see my new Echo devices that I had previously labeled "One" and "Two" and to my surprise they were unable to be added to the speaker pair / group. The reason for this is both devices indicated they needed an update and I should check back in "~2 Hours".Knowing you can force Echo devices to update faster by muting them I placed both on mute and began typing this review. I'm pleased to report that by the time I got to this paragraph that both devices had completed the update and have rebooted themselves... One moment while I continue through the setup... (you can imagine, as I did, that I thought I was going to come back 15 minutes or so later after playing with the devices before reading the following paragraphs and my summary)I still had the app open on my screen before the updates took place. Post the echos completing their self update, the devices still said they needed to be updated in the app. I couldn't select them, and my only option was to add other devices to the group or cancel. I chose the cancel button which took me back to the previous setup screen and I again was able to select "Continue" to setup a group. After the page refreshed, I could now select my "One" and "Two" Echo devices.I selected my One Device and immediately all other devices went into "Connectivity Error/Not Compatible" on the app. If I unselect "One" all devices go back to available. If I select "Two" all devices co back into "Connectivity Error/Not Compatible".As I was unable to select 2 devices to pair together with my Sub. I again could not continue with the setup process. I again chose to "Cancel" the creation and go back to the previous screen. I repeated the same steps above and this time both devices showed "Online”, and I was able to add them to the group/pair and continue. I received a message requesting I select which channel Left or Right for "Two". I selected Right and both One and Two devices began to flash white while the app indicating it was connecting to the speakers.... (waiting while I'm still typing this for this step to complete)...well I think the step completed, not sure as the app went back to an "Add Group" Screen with no indication of a success or failure of the task. I scrolled down on the app and found a new group called "Stereo Pair" that has been created. I selected the "Stereo Pair" and was show the option to unpair them... not doing that. One moment while I jack with this app and figure out if its working or not... (insert Jeopardy music)Well I can't rename Stereo Pair on the app, let’s see if I can do it from the Web Interface https://alexa.amazon.com ... nope group doesn't exist there yet or at all, maybe it takes some time. Let’s see if the pair even works. Yup it plays music on the speaker pair but WITHOUT the sub in the group... Wasn't I setting up an Echo Sub when I started this?I proceed back to the app and attempt to add a group and I'm greeted with the message that I must unpair existing speakers before adding them to a pair. So, I proceed to unpair the Stereo Pair group I just created. (wish it would let me give this a name other than "Stereo Pair")Recreating the Speaker Group, I realized I found my error. I must select One, Two, and the Sub to pair the 3 devices together.... Funny because I was setting up the Echo Sub when this pairing screen was presented, you would think they would have included the sub automatically.To locate the Echo Sub in my case, I had scroll down on the pairing screen to find the Sub at the bottom. I suspect I wouldn't have made this error if I didn't have a ton of Echo devices already. Attempt to add all 3 to the group "Failed to Initiate playback on Stereo Pair" Error message yet it still created a new group called "Stereo Sub Pair" (these group names are awful).Success? I tried playing some music to the "Stereo Sub Pair" group and it's working!First impressions are it's significantly better sounding than I thought it would be for such a small setup. Upped the Volume, Upped the Bass, now it sounds perfect for my listening enjoyment. Now to go set the devices where I plan on using them and try it out.Lastly, I tried to see if could rename the “Stereo Sub Pair” Group name to something else by the time I completed reviewing my notes from this review and unfortunately, I can report you can’t change the group name yet. However, once the speakers are paired you don’t need to say the group name to get them to play together like you do with multi-room music.Summary: I am pleasantly surprised with the Echo Sub and despite the issues above from being an early adopter of the device, I would buy it again. Sound is great and just what I needed for my "Bass-lacking" audio space.Overall, I give this experience 4 stars only because of the issues I encountered that I’m sure will be resolved in time combined with the fact the sub doesn’t match the echo devices themselves. The Sub audio itself, I give 5 stars.
