That thinness may suggest a difference in the speaker, I don't know.
But hey, Tubemonkey, it's down in your price range now!

Adding up the stuff Amazon excluded from Echo Dot 2, the price is $65.
- $50 -- Echo Dot 2
- $10 -- 2-year warranty
- $5 --- 4 ft audio cable
Another con is the missing twist ring volume control. Twisting the volume is quite a bit faster than using buttons. I thought I was going to jump on this immediately. Now I'm left wondering what else Amazon has done to cut costs. I certainly don't want a weaker speaker (hey, that rhymes)
