Our Verdict
Amazon Echo Studio
Sony SRS-RA3000
The Sony SRS-RA3000 and the Amazon Echo Studio have different strengths. The Amazon has excellent voice assistant performance, with Alexa built-in. It has a built-in Zigbee hub to control other smart home devices like lightbulbs or thermostats. The Sony has a much better soundstage performance and features a graphic EQ and presets, making it more customizable than the Amazon.
