In typical Amazon fashion, early Prime Day deals<\/a> are starting to pick up speed now that we’re one week out from Prime Day 2024<\/a>. Discounts just dropped on some Echo speakers, including the Echo Dot<\/a>, which is down to a near record low of $25. That’s half off and only about $2 more than the lowest price we’ve seen. Also discounted are the Echo Pop<\/a>, which you can snag for only $18, and the full-sized Echo<\/a> for $55. We expect these to be some of the best Prime Day deals you’ll be able to get on Amazon devices for the shopping event.<\/p>\n The Echo Dot is a good way to get Alexa into your home without taking up too much space. It’s also a good option for students who have little space to spare in cramped dorms and apartments, or anyone who wants to add a bit more smarts in their home office. It’s one of our top picks for the best smart speakers<\/a> you can get right now thanks to its minimalist, compact design, physical volume adjustment and mic-mute buttons and its general Alexa chops. The latest model is also a much better speaker than previous versions, with louder and clearer audio.<\/p>\n Amazon<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The latest Echo Dot is half off and down to only $25.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n $25 at Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n If you’re on a tight budget, or you want to give Alexa a try without investing too much money, the Echo Pop<\/a> is a good alternative now that it’s down to $18. If you were to slice the Echo Dot in half, you’d get the Echo Pop. It makes for a decent bedside speaker, and it has built-in eero functionality, meaning you can extend the range of your home’s Wi-Fi network with the Pop if you have an eero router already.<\/p>\n But for the best sound quality out of these, you’ll want the regular Echo<\/a> smart speaker. It has the biggest footprint of all three, and the biggest internal speaker along with a 3-inch, built-in woofer. In addition to Alexa chops, it has a temperature sensor and a Zigbee smart home hub inside, which allows you to connect gadgets like smart lights, smart door locks and more without the need for a separate hub.<\/p>\n Your Prime Day Shopping Guide<\/em><\/strong>: See all of our<\/em> Prime Day<\/em><\/a> coverage.
