Sieht so aus, als wenn ein Soundupdate vor der Tür steht... In einigen US Reviews ist zu lesen, dass Amazon Kontakt aufgenommen hat... Zum Beispiel:
Update: Amazon has pushed a software update and sound quality now sounds great.
I was originally disappointed in the 2nd Gen as my original review (below) shows. Shortly after posting the review Amazon reached out to me for additional information. They contacted me again today and said they took my, and others, feedback regarding the sound quality seriously. The Amazon rep informed me my Echo was selected to be part of a test group asked me if I would want to install a new software update to address the problem. She walked me through the steps to ensure the update was applied and asked me to test the audio (she stayed on the phone while I did this).
With my 2nd Gen and original 1st Gen Echo in a multi-room group (that's a really nice feature) I had Alexa fire up my playlist. I was surprised to find the 2nd Gen now sounded much improved. As I walked between rooms with the two Echo's I was also surprised that the 2nd Gen sounded better than my 1st Gen, the bass and mid-range had a better quality. Not believing my own ears I had my wife also give it a listen and she agreed.
The Amazon rep said they were working with a small group of customers like me to verify the update and they would be pushing the update to all customers very soon. FYI, after the update my Gen2 shows Device Software Version 592452420
PS einige Nutzer scheinen das Update schon erhalten zu haben (siehe Reddit amazonecho und alle sind begeistert... Das gibt sich Hoffnung. Und untermauert meine Theorie, dass Amazon da schnell ein Update bringt, bzw. Auch die Soundqualität nochmals gesteigert werden kann)
Also @Bert kein Wunschdenken
