The Echo Pop from Amazon is a fantastic way of improving your Amazon home setup. This excellent speaker incorporates the Alexa app whilst delivering exceptional audio. Furthermore, because it works with Alexa, you can use it to control your other Wi-Fi devices around your home.
Alongside this, this minuscule speaker can be wall mounted or placed on your desk. Furthermore, it doesn’t look out of place in any room thanks to its understated design. Moreover, you can customise the device with a coloured silicone sleeve (sold separately). The silicone sleeve looks great and helps to keep your device safe. Additionally, it is easy to set up thanks to the plug-and-play approach.

- The user guide tells you how to get started.
Technical aspects.
This affordable speaker may not be as advanced as its Amazon counterparts. However, I was impressed by its punchy audio, accurate voice recognition, and ease of use. Moreover, the ability to wall mount it made it perfect for smaller spaces. On top of this, if you don’t wish to interact with the Alexa voice control, you don’t have to. Accordingly, you are free to use the speaker however you wish.
The fantastic 49.5 mm front speaker delivers an impressive range of tones and bass. What’s more, the sound is never distorted no matter the volume. As such, this was an impressive result of a tiny and inexpensive device.
Alongside this, your security and privacy are paramount. With built-in layers of security and the ability to electronically disconnect the microphone, you feel reassured. Furthermore, thanks to the RGB light bar, you know when Alexa is activated. As such, you needn’t worry about checking your settings.
Smart home.
If you use the Alexa app, you’ll know how intuitive it is. However, if you are new to this, you’ll discover a world of intertwined devices. Accordingly, your home soon becomes a modern, tech-filled environment. Furthermore, you can adjust your lighting, plugs, thermostats, and more with your voice. On top of this, Alexa can organise your day, arrange a shopping list and plenty more as well.
Alternatively, if you wish to simplify things, you can focus on music and nothing else. I loved how it incorporates Amazon Music, Deezer, Spotify, and more. Accordingly, you can play your favourite playlist or select a random list of songs to enjoy.
Build quality.
This tiny speaker is impressively light but well-built. I adored its recycled nature and the fantastic mesh speaker cover. On top of this, the excellent RGB light bar is colourful, bright, and easy to manage. Each unique colour refers to a specific setting. As such, it takes a bit of getting used to. However, once you know what you are looking at, it is a piece of cake to use.
The hardened plastic looks refined and professional. Yet, this can be altered by purchasing a silicone case. These colourful accessories make the Echo Pop stand out from the crowd. Additionally, they add a layer of protection and make the speaker easier to clean.
Is the Echo Pop worth it?
Compared to its high-end counterparts, the Echo Pop is understated. However, I adored its straightforward approach and its refined style. Moreover, it wonderfully complements your existing Amazon tech. As such, I loved it and I recommend that you buy it here!
