Amazon Echo Dot Max vs IKEA KALLSUP

The Amazon Echo Dot Max is a much better, and typically much more expensive, speaker than the IKEA KALLSUP. But the IKEA's battery power means it's the better choice if you like to carry your speaker with you. The Amazon's mid-range and treble are more balanced, so voices and instruments sound more natural, although both speakers struggle to reproduce deep bass. The Amazon's spherical design also spreads sound more evenly around a room, whereas the IKEA sounds duller if you're off to the sides of it. The Echo Dot Max also has built-in Alexa support and Wi-Fi connectivity. The main attractions of the IKEA are its tiny size and battery-powered design, which makes it easy to tote around with you.
