A New Look

The Dot With Clock is a 3.9-inch sphere in blue or white like the fourth-generation Echo Dot. The top of the sphere is designed with volume up, volume down, action, and microphone mute buttons, and it glows a soft blue along the bottom when it's listening. A power connector and 3.5mm audio output is located on the back of the speaker.

An additional feature of the Amazon Echo Dot 4th Generation With Clock over the standard Echo Dot is a white LED clock capable of displaying alarms, outdoor temperature, and any active timers. If the user taps the head of the Dot, the Amazon Echo Dot With Clock will snooze your alarm. Users can ask Alexa to dim the watch or turn it off if it's near their bed and they want to sleep in complete darkness. Adding a clock to the speaker makes the Echo Dot With Alexa much more visually useful.

Alexa

Similar to the company's other products, the Amazon Echo Dot 4th Generation With Clock uses Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. You just say "Alexa" and give the command and the speaker will do his best to accommodate you: answer general questions, control smart home devices, make calls, voice calls to devices Alexa, and play music from supported streaming services including Amazon Music, Apple Music, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Spotify, and TuneIn. Amazon Echo Dot requires Bluetooth streaming from the user's phone or other devices with any other music sources.

While Alexa is an effective voice assistant with more third-party skills than the competition, its syntax can be a bit stiff. Users may find they need to use a very specific language for Alexa to do what they want, as opposed to the slightly more conversational nature of the Google Assistant.

Audio Performance

As for the Dot base model, the Amazon Echo Dot 4th Generation With Clock is mostly an aesthetic change from last year's model. The audio capabilities of the Amazon Echo Dot With Clock and the Amazon Echo Dot are the same, and they still have the same 1.6-inch drivers that are suitable for bedside use, although not what many people want as a music speaker in their living room. Of course, users can better attach speakers via the 3.5mm output jack.

You can check out the Echo Dot Review of its products to dig deeper into the sound quality of the Echo Dot With Clock as it is capable of sounding identical to the standard Echo Dot. Essentially, the Echo Dot 4th Generation With Clock is a small speaker with little power and almost no bass response to talk about. The Amazon Echo Dot With Clock is heavily balanced towards the highs and mids with little presence of low frequencies to immobilize it. The Echo Dot With Alexa's sound quality is better than what you'll get from a standard clock radio, but it's not enough to fill a room with full sound. However, the Amazon Echo Dot 4th Generation With Clock works well for podcasts.
