Amazon Echo Vs Tap Vs Echo Dot Detailed Comparison

Design and Size

Connectivity

When it comes to Bluetooth & AUX connectivity for audio playback, you can play music from your smartphone on the Echo over Bluetooth and on Tap over Bluetooth & AUX. However, the Echo Dot isn’t necessarily a speaker and it only lets you play music on your external speakers over Bluetooth or AUX (3.5 mm jack).

Speakers

On the other hand, Tap features a smaller 360-degree sound system with dual 1.5-inch drivers, dual passive radiators for bass extension and Dolby audio support. As you might have noticed, the Echo Dot is the only one to pack in ability to connect to an external speaker for music playback. Well, that’s because, unlike Echo and Tap, it does not pack a full size speaker. The Echo Dot only features a tiny speaker, which should be good enough for Alexa’s voice feedback. So, to play music from the Dot, you will need to have an external speaker connected.
