Prime Day hasn't officially started yet, but Amazon's early Prime Day deals are in full swing, including deals on headphones, including Apple AirPods, Fire Stick devices—and now, smart speakers. All of the most recent Echo smart speakers are currently on sale for up to 55% off, but for Prime members only.
The Echo Pop speaker is currently $17.99 (originally $39.99) for Prime members. This model launched last summer, receiving an “excellent” review from PCMag for its cost-effectiveness, sound quality, and Eero wifi extender. While not as loud as the Echo Dot and missing touch and temperature sensors, it matches the Echo Dot in most other functions.
If you’re looking for a slightly beefier smart speaker than the Echo Pop, the 5th generation Echo Dot, currently available for $24.99 (originally $49.99), is your best option. PCMag gave this one an “excellent” rating.
The 4th generation Echo is currently $54.99 (originally $99.99). This is the most powerful and complete speaker of the bunch: It has a powerful bass and is the only device here with a built-in smart home hub that allows you to unify your smart devices.
The Amazon Echo Spot just came out this summer, but it's already seeing a major discount, currently $44.99 (originally $79.99). The Echo Spot attempts to be a mix between an Echo smart speaker and an Echo Show, but it lacks in the display department to be considered a true "smart display" device, according to PCMag's review. It's more of a smart speaker with a very basic display. It's not as powerful of a speaker as the Amazon Echo, but it's much cheaper.
