Why You Can Trust CNET Early Prime Day Sales Bring Amazon Echo Devices to All Time Low of $18
The popular Amazon Echo Dot, Amazon Echo Pop and Amazon Echo Buds all drop under the $25 mark.
Though we're still a few days away from Prime Day, Amazon hasn't let that stop it from dropping prices on some of its most popular devices. Today, Prime members can get significant discounts on many of the models in Amazon's Echo line, with the Amazon Echo Pop falling to just $18. This is the lowest price we've seen to date for the Alexa-supported speaker. It's ideal for filling bedrooms or other small spaces with substantial sound.
The fifth-generation (2022) Amazon Echo Dot, known for its affordability and numerous features to help run a smart home, has dropped to $25. It's available in charcoal, glacier white, and deep sea blue, so there's a style to fit any home, with incredible sound to back it up.
For comparison, CNET reviewer Ty Pendlebury said: "When side by side, I found the Echo Dot was more enjoyable with music than both the Nest Mini and the Echo Pop. The Dot generated more bass and sounded better with modern rock or pop. Though it was possible to get it louder than the other two, that was only by introducing distortion as well."
Prime members can also get a huge, 50% drop in price on a pair of 2023 Amazon Echo Buds. This puts the earbuds at an asking price of $25, $10 less than we've seen them at previously. These wireless buds have 20-hour battery life, Bluetooth connectivity, seamless switching, and customizable tap controls, so you can use Alexa, make phone calls and control your music.
These devices are in good company with Amazon's Prime Day device deals, which include great prices on Kindles, Fire TVs, Blink security cameras and more. Not sure about these offers?
