I don't know about Echo Dot, but I definitely use my Home Mini for music.

It's nothing special in that role, but actually better than I would expect, and music isn't the main use (controlling content being cast to the TV is a lot bigger use than listening to music from the speaker.)

I guess I can understand getting one of the premium (Home Max, HomePod, etc.) smart speakers if direct music playback on the speaker is your main use case, though even people for whom that is the main use case often seem happy with the mid-range units like the regular Echo and Google Home.

Yeah for sure. I just think that the full sized echo or the google home plays fairly good music. I don't see much of a use for the home max or the homepods.

What do I know though, I have 3' tall cerwin vegas in my living room and can't comprehend why someone would want something smaller
