Amazon Echo Studio (1st generation) vs Sonos Era 300

The Amazon Echo Studio (1st generation) and the Sonos Era 300 are both wired home speakers with voice assistant integration. The Sonos is a premium speaker with a premium price tag, and its feature set is indicative of this, but the more affordable Amazon still has its strengths. While both are similarly well-built and lack portability, the Sonos has a more balanced default sound profile, with a more prominent bass response. It also has better directivity, so audio sounds consistent across different angles. That said, they both get similarly loud but there's less compression present at max volume with the Amazon. While the Sonos features Apple Airplay support and has better speech command recognition, both speakers have built-in support for Alexa.
