The Dot is the mini version of the regular Echo that users have had since November of 2014. But it includes a big new feature that the first Echo model doesn’t have: support for external speakers. While the Echo offered premium sound quality for a device its size, it was unable to connect to other speakers you own via line out nor bluetooth. The Echo Dot is now able to do both. Users can even pair headphones to their Dot should you not want to disturb roommates or those around you. However, at $129.99, it is more expensive than the Dot.
