You can now buy an Amazon Echo Studio With Billie Eilish’s face on it

By

Billie Eilish has managed to amass legions of fans during her short career, and now those who love her music can choose to buy a limited-edition Amazon Echo Studio wireless smart speaker with Eilish’s face on it. The Billie Eilish Limited Edition Echo Studio costs $230 ($30 more than the regular Studio) and you can pre-order it right now, with deliveries beginning on October 14.

The special version of Amazon’s largest Echo smart speaker is decorated with the cover art from Eilish’s recently released second studio album, Happier Than Ever. In addition to Eilish’s face being on full display, the speaker comes with a six-month Amazon Music Unlimited subscription. You’ll need that if you want to hear the new Eilish tracks in spatial audio via the Studio.

And, because the Echo Studio is an Alexa-powered smart speaker, you’ll be able to play those tracks using hands-free voice commands, like:

  • “Alexa, play the Billie Eilish Takeover on Amazon Music.”
  • “Alexa, what can I ask Billie Eilish?
  • “Alexa, play Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish.”
  • “Alexa, play that song that goes ‘Try not to abuse your power.’”
  • “Alexa, play Getting Older by Billie Eilish.”

Not that the Echo Studio and Amazon’s music service are the only way to hear Happier Than Ever in spatial audio. Apple just updated the latest beta software for its now-discontinued HomePod smart speaker to work with Dolby Atmos Music, and Eilish’s album is available on Apple Music in this 3D music format.

Amazon’s Eilish Echo Studio announcement comes at a curious time. The company is holding an event on September 28 to introduce its latest devices. Previous events have showcased new Echo speakers, but if the company has just created a limited edition of its Echo Studio with Eilish’s face, that suggests the Studio will not be one of the speakers that will get a new version.

This week, Amazon debuted the newest version of its Kindle Paperwhite e-reader, which suggests that the company won’t be showing off new Kindle hardware at the forthcoming event, either.

Smart speakers have come a long way in the last several years, and more and more homes are jumping on the voice assistant bandwagon. Two of the brands leading the charge on smart audio are Amazon and Apple. In this side by side, we'll be comparing Amazon's Alexa-equipped flagship speaker, the Echo Studio, with Apple's Siri-powered HomePod, the bigger and louder of the two smart speakers in the Apple canon. Categories include price, design, sound quality, and features. Read on to see which of the two speakers is our favorite.
Price

Apple’s HomePod currently sits at a price point of $299 on Apple’s website - a $50 price cut since the device was first released in 2018. Amazon’s Echo Studio starts at $199, a significant $100 cheaper than Apple’s alternative. It also offers a few accessories you may choose to add to your cart, such as the Echo Sub, which adds additional bass response via a wireless subwoofer for $129.

Provide Alexa with the name of a contact and she will send the song to that person. They can then listen to the music through their own Echo device or through the Alexa app and send a reaction to let you know what they thought of it.
