Our take on the Echo Dot 5th Gen (2022) Smart Speaker with Alexa

The Echo Dot 5th Gen is Amazon's small Alexa speaker, built around a 1.73-inch full-range driver that plays louder and with more bass than the previous generation. It handles voice requests, music, timers, alarms and control of compatible smart home devices, and it can be paired with other Echo speakers for multi-room audio. A microphone-off button physically disconnects the mics. It suits bedrooms, kitchens and desks where a small, always-listening assistant matters more than hi-fi sound; for real music listening, larger speakers such as the Echo or Echo Studio go deeper and louder.

Questions and answers

Is the Echo Dot 5th Gen worth it over the 4th Gen?
Yes, if you want better sound from a small speaker. The 5th Gen has a larger driver and more bass than the 4th Gen, plus a temperature sensor. The 4th Gen is still fine for basic voice commands.
Can it play music from my phone?
Yes. You can stream over Bluetooth from a phone or tablet, or ask Alexa to play from supported music services over Wi-Fi.
Does it work with Spotify and Apple Music?
It supports major streaming services through Alexa, including Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Music. Some services need a linked account or a subscription.
Can I turn off the microphones?
Yes. A button on top electronically disconnects the microphones, and a red light shows when they are off.
Can I use several Echo Dots together?
Yes. You can group Echo devices for synchronized multi-room music, or pair two for stereo sound in one room.
Does it need a subscription?
No subscription is required for voice commands, timers, alarms or smart home control. Music services may need their own subscription.
