If you only use it for music, it is likely a decent choice. If you use it for a clock or photo viewer, the FW sucks. Besides the FW fiasco, mine cannot hear a stick of dynamite go off 10 feet away. It is as deaf as Hellen Keller. Even putting my mouth a few inches from the mic I have to nearly yell to get it to hear me. My other Echos (all 5 of them) have no hearing issues, but the Show 5 does. I grant that some of the issues could be due to a bad batch of units with faulty parts, but a lot of its faults are FW related.
