You can play your favorite music and content like audiobooks, podcasts, and more through apps like Amazon Music, Spotify, and Apple Music straight from the speaker while you go about your day.

Amazon Offers the Newest Model of Echo Pop at Its Lowest Price of the Year as Stock Runs Low
When it comes to smart speakers, they've quickly transformed from pricier 'nice to haves' into affordable options that are available to just about anyone. Amazon has been leading the charge in this respect, releasing a wide variety of models and options that don't break the bank while offering lots of different features and options for consumers. Famously, the Echo series is part of this rollout, and there are a few form factors you can choose from for this smart speaker. And if you're curious about trying one out, now's the best time to do so thanks to this Amazon deal. See at Amazon Right now, you can head to Amazon to get an Amazon Echo Pop for $25, down from its usual price of $40. That's $15 off and a discount of 38%. A colorful, multifaceted smart speaker The newest model of the Echo Pop is one of Amazon's most refined versions of its compact smart speaker. Despite its small size, it delivers surprisingly clear and full sound. It's loud enough to fill a room without distortion or that hollow, tinny sound you get from older or cheaper models. Whether you're streaming a playlist, asking for the forecast, or setting a kitchen timer, it's quick and responsive, and the voice controls work great. But while you might primarily use it for music, you'd be surprised at how many other things it can do in addition. The built-in temperature sensor can automate other smart devices like thermostats or fans. Alexa Routines allow you to string together multiple actions like dimming the lights and turning on ambient music just by saying a few words. You can even use it as an intercom to communicate between rooms if you have multiple Echo devices. So if you want to get one for one area of the house and another, like maybe your room and the kids' rooms, there's your justification. It's also worth noting that Amazon has taken steps to address privacy concerns. If you're worried about that kind of thing, it has a microphone mute button and privacy settings to give you more control. With its discounted price, the diminutive Echo Pop makes a good case for anyone looking to bring more convenience and control into their home, especially for just $25. Whether you're just getting started with smart tech or want to expand your existing setup, this is one of the most affordable and practical ways to do it. And it comes in such a pretty color, too!

All Amazon Echo speakers go on sale! Which one are you getting?
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority All of these offers come directly from Amazon, and they are 'limited time deals.' These discounts apply to all color versions available. Amazon Echo 4th-Generation Amazon Echo Amazon Echo A spherical smart speaker for everyone's home. The Amazon Echo (4th Generation) features a fresh new look and improved audio quality. If you're heavily invested in all things smart home, Alexa is a great virtual assistant to have around. See price at Amazon Save $45.00 Limited Time Deal! Now that the Echo Studio is discontinued, the Amazon Echo 4th-Generation stands tall as the best smart speaker in its lineup. The device goes on sale pretty often, but usually only the Twilight Blue and Glacier White versions go on sale. This time around, the Charcoal model is included in the sale, making it a nice time to get the speaker. I personally own this one, and still love it. You're in for a treat. The Amazon Echo 4th-Gen offers the perfect balance between quality and price. It looks much like an Echo Dot, with that spherical design that makes the series so iconic. The main difference is that this one is bigger at 5.7 x 5.7 x 5.2in. If you don't mind the bigger size, you'll be rewarded with a really nice experience. This one gets better audio quality, thanks to the 3.0-inch neodymium woofer and two 0.8-inch tweeters. All other Echo speakers have a single driver, so there is a significant difference in sound quality. The audio will be much fuller and more dynamic with the Amazon Echo, and the bass will also be much deeper. Of course, this is a smart speaker, so the Amazon Echo is powered by Alexa. You can use voice commands to play music, request information, solve math problems, set reminders, create shopping lists, call people, control smart homes, and much more. Because this is the higher-end model, you also get a few extra features. For starters, it works as a Zigbee hub, which means you can control all your smart home devices with it, without overcrowding your router. It also has a temperature sensor and motion detection, so you can automate smart home actions based on these. Oh, and if you use eero mesh routers, the Amazon Echo can work as a repeater for your Wi-Fi network. Amazon Echo Dot Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) Alexa and voice controlled audio, for cheap. See price at Amazon Save $15.00 Limited Time Deal! The full-sized Echo is great, but not everyone needs to upgrade to the top option. Especially if you're trying to use it in a bedroom or smaller space. The Amazon Echo Dot 5th-Generation has the same spherical design, but it is smaller at 3.9 x 3.9 x 3.5in. It's also significantly more affordable, but it's still plenty featureful. There's a 1.73-inch speaker packed inside, so don't expect it to host any dance parties. The audio is pretty decent, though, considering the small size and lower price point. Of course, it is still Alexa-powered, and you'll get all those digital assistant features. Additionally, it still has most of the extra features, such as the temperature sensor, motion detection, and eero Mesh Wi-Fi capabilities. It misses on the Zgbee hub, but many of you don't really care much for that. Amazon Echo Pop Amazon Echo Pop Amazon Echo Pop A cheap and tiny Alexa smart speaker. A great entry or extension to the Alexa smart home ecosystem. The Echo Pop has a sleek design with a front-firing speaker that sits nicely in an office or on a bedside table. See price at Amazon Save $15.00 Limited Time Deal! The smallest and cutest smart speaker coming from the online retailer is the Amazon Echo Pop. It is much smaller at 3.9 x 3.3 x 3.6in. This one also comes in super fun pastel colors, which make it look adorable. It definitely offers a more basic smart speaker experience, but some of you don't need all the bells and whistles, and it also happens to be the cheapest Echo option. You'll find a decent 1.95-inch speaker inside, which sounds pretty good for the price and size, but is nothing spectacular. It would work great as a bedside smart speaker, or you could have it on your desk. It still gets eero mesh support, but it lacks all other extra features. This means there is no temperature sensor, motion detection, or Zigbee hub. That said, this one doesn't get any extras, so there's no temperature sensor, motion detection, or Zigbee hub. Like the others, though, it does get eero mesh Wi-Fi support. Are you signing up for one of these Echo smart speakers? Make sure to act quickly. Some of these discounts are the best we've seen in 2025. We're not sure how long they will stick around.

There's up to £100 off Sonos smart speakers – here's how to find the best deal
If you've been eyeing up a Sonos smart speaker but wincing at the price tag, now might be the perfect moment to make your move. Amazon, Currys, and the official Sonos store have kicked off a massive sale, offering discounts of up to 28 per cent across the brand's most popular audio gear. Deals include a £100 saving on the Sonos Era 300 (was £449, now £349, one of the most popular mid-sized smart speakers in the Sonos range. You'll also find savings on the smaller Sonos Era 100 (was £249, now £179, and the brand's portable Bluetooth speaker, the Sonos Roam 2 (was £179, now £129, Sonos makes some of the best smart speakers for achieving multi-room audio at home, and despite a high-profile, botched update to the Sonos app in 2024, the brand has begun to rebuild its reputation by continuing to deliver well-made sound systems that are simple to install and control. Kitting out your home with more than one Sonos speaker is still an investment, but if you're expanding your multi-room audio setup or starting from scratch, this sale is your best opportunity to upgrade for less. You can find the discounts over at the official Sonos storefront, at Amazon and across most major online retailers. The Sonos Era 100 replaced the Sonos One as the brand's new go-to compact smart speaker. This isn't just a minor refresh. Sonos has re-engineered the Sonos Era 100 from scratch, now packing in true stereo sound from a single unit, thanks to dual-angled tweeters and a beefier woofer. The result is a surprisingly rich and room-filling audio experience from a speaker with a relatively small footprint, delivering crisp highs and a punchy bass that's a clear step up from its predecessor. Within its cinched-hourglass design, the Sonos Era 300 packs an array of six drivers, including an upward-firing one engineered to deliver spatial audio and an immersive Dolby Atmos experience. Like its Era 100 sibling, connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay and a USB-C line-in, alongside support for Trueplay tuning and voice assistants. Right now, there's £100 off the best soundbar Sonos has ever made. My colleague Alex was impressed in his Sonos Arc Ultra review, saying 'bass has been massively improved thanks to the sound motion technology, and dialogue is clearer than ever before. It's sleeker, slimmer, more Android-friendly and, frankly, sounds absolutely epic. Now that the Sonos app is almost back to its best, I reckon it's worth the upgrade.'
