Echo Sub Bundle with Echo (2nd Gen) - Charcoal Fabric

We have analyzed 243 reviews and found:

28% of users say that: Product worked, works well, works great, works. Sound is great, is amazing, is not bad, will improve more. Bass can be so intense, is overwhelming.9, is great, is plenty. Setup was mostly easy, was very easy, was beyond easy, was simple. 3% of users noticed that: Sub is not working, was dead, will take a couple of seconds, will take about a second to cut off. Subwoofer is paired to form a speaker set, is not pre-loaded. Set up is terrible, was not difficult, worked, was very 'buggy. Volume was so low, was at 5, is not quite as good.
