Amazon Echo Pop (newest model), Our smallest speaker, Designed for Alexa+, Fits in any room, Glacier White

I bought the Echo Pop in 2023, and it has been working great ever since. It has become part of our daily routine, and my kids absolutely love using it. They enjoy asking Alexa questions, listening to music, hearing stories, and setting timers for homework and other activities. The sound quality is impressive for such a compact speaker, and Alexa responds quickly to voice commands. Setup was simple, and it has remained reliable with no issues over the years. After using it for such a long time, I can confidently say it has been a great purchase. If you’re looking for an affordable smart speaker that’s easy to use and durable, I definitely recommend the Echo Pop.

I've had a few of these Echo Pops now for a couple of months and I must say I'm not at all dissatisfied. Had I paid the full asking of $49.99 I'd doubt I would be too thrilled with it, but I got mine when they had a major sale on these so I got them for around $20. All of the Alexa stuff works as expected I don't see much of a difference between the previous generation Echo devices. The sound is definitely better than the past versions, but it's not going to rival any expensive speakers or anything like that. Personally, I have Echo devices in every room of my house. Some rooms even have 2 because I love love LOVE the grouped speakers feature. It works so seamlessly and has allowed me to have whole home audio for not a lot of money. Nothing is better than being able to clean the whole house and not have to drag some speaker from room to room while you do so. I also do that because I control my smart lights in each room with these things. If you set them up properly in the Alexa app all you have to say is Alexa light on or Alexa light off to operate all the lights you have in a particular room and each device knows which room you put it in so it only does the lights in that room. Gone are the days of endlessly having to trek across rooms to control lights. I'll never ever go back! These things are quite cute though they get an A+ for style and come in some nice colors. I bought one of each just to switch it up a little. I wasn't sure how I'd like the new standing up form factor, but I've grown to like it better than the puck style or the big bubble. This was a good call and I'm not upset with it at all. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and if you're looking for a new echo device I would definitely recommend this one over any of the older generation Echo Dots

I had an older version of the Echo in my bedroom with a major problem, when I asked it something it yelled the answers. I tried everything to lower its voice. I couldn't use it in the morning as it would wake up the whole house with a loud voice. So I just ordered the new Echo Pop. I was so happy that when I spoke to it he didn't yell back. Yes I wanted a man's voice-Alex. I love it. I got the teal and it's perfect for my bedroom. I tried it out by playing my favorite soundtrack not sure if something so small could have quilty sound. It blew me a way. I want one for every room. It looks great and works even better. It's a must!

I have waited years to become a SMART household. I purchased the Echo Pop on sale to set up permanent speaker in kitchen of studio apt. I had previously paired my Anker Soundcore 2 BT speakers. They worked great but I tired of moving them around. Thought I'd pair all 3 devices. Nope you can't do that...boohissboo So I ordered 2nd Echo Pop (again on sale) and paired them. Works great plus I connected to my TV to use as speaker at night. The only problem I've encountered is my TV will turn on Echos even when I don't want. It's easy to reset to TV speakers but kinda wonky. Regarding connection to smart TV the volume has to go way, way up high to get the louder volume from TV on Echos. Don't understand this part at all. Here's a factoid. You connect/set up these Echo Pops with BT but you don't need to have BT operational on your smart phone to use. You can have on or off as it doesn't matter except with volume control. After set up just say Alexa or Echo (your choice) 'connect to Spotify' or whatever service and it's easy peazy. It will play your music, podcast, etc. I address kitchen unit as Echo and BR unit as Alexa that way Echo knows which one I'm speaking to. According to Alexa App it can figure this out even if you call multiple units the same name. I have set up and explored multiple functional areas of this device including my first smart light. That too works like a charm. As I said this is a great dedicated non Bluetooth speaker device. For less than $40 I have both kitchen and sleeping area speakers. Yes, I also added my Anker BT paired speakers to Alexa App. It takes a slight amount of time to find and figure out what you can and can't do but it's a wonderful way to stay tech savvy and save battery life on your cell. I'm 74 in couple of weeks and I managed just fine. The initial set up first one took less than 15 min for basic functionality. I highly recommend this device! GO for it; you can turn off device if you're concerned about Big brother listening and you can delete your conversations with device. It's a little price for what you get IMHO.

I’ve been using the Amazon Echo Pop for about a month now, and it’s a great addition to my smart home setup. Here’s my detailed review: Pros: • Compact Design: The Echo Pop has a sleek and modern design that fits easily on small shelves, countertops, or bedside tables. It’s perfect for smaller spaces. • Sound Quality: For its size, the sound quality is surprisingly good. The bass is decent, and it’s clear enough for casual listening or voice responses. While it won’t replace a high-end speaker, it works great for podcasts, audiobooks, or background music. • Alexa Integration: Alexa works flawlessly with this device. It quickly responds to commands, controls my smart home devices, and provides useful updates like weather and reminders. • Setup: The setup process was straightforward using the Alexa app, and it connected to my Wi-Fi without any issues. Cons: • Limited Audio Power: While the sound quality is good for its size, it struggles to fill larger rooms with sound. It’s better suited for personal or small-space use. • No Clock Display: Unlike some other Echo models, the Pop doesn’t have a digital clock display, which would have been a nice touch for bedside use. Final Thoughts: The Amazon Echo Pop is an affordable and functional smart speaker that’s perfect for smaller spaces or as an additional Alexa-enabled device in your home. If you’re looking for something compact and budget-friendly, this is a great choice. However, if you need more powerful audio or additional features like a display, you might want to consider other Echo models. Would I recommend it? Definitely, especially if you’re new to smart speakers or looking for a secondary device!

The device itself is fantastic. Great sound, volume, the mic picks up commands from around the room without multiple devices answering at once. Response time is good, sometimes it will cut you off mid sentence because it thinks it knows what you want. Pretty sure it doesn't have a battery. Aside from that I would like to take a second to talk about Alexa itself. It isn't a great application. It seems to be a bunch of containerized apps jammed together with little to no active connectivity. It is almost like there is no backbone to the system and it is just a bunch of apps individually communicating with each other one by one. Even the echo devices have trouble interacting. I have this one and a normal Echo, the Echo pop is in my bedroom and is responsible for my morning alarm among other things. I was having issues with the music being too serine and it putting me back to sleep instead of waking up. I attempted to change the settings through the other Echo device only to be told no Alarm existed. I tried to get this Echo to realize the other Echo did have an alarm set for 6, it kept telling me no such alarm existed. As to not waste anymore time I instructed Alexa to create an alarm set for 6am and it responded that an alarm already existed... "Do you want to replace it?" Yes, replace the alarm with a new one. "Something went wrong" "Do you want me to replace it?" Yes. "Something went wrong" "Do you want me to replace it?" No. It was stuck in a loop. I decided to order the steps myself, Alexa, delete my alarm a 6am. "Alarm deleted" Alexa, create an alarm at 6am. "An alarm has been created for 6am". The functionality is there, it just cannot complete certain actions without individual direct commands. It's ability to perform multiple steps in a single command are lacking, this leads me to believe it's recognition and comprehension skills are non-existent. A similar thing happened when I tried to connect Alexa with my Spotify account. My phones OS is too old to connect via mobile app so I had to get the PC app (not easy to find) and after a lengthy conversation with Alexa it came out that the PC app did not have the functionality of the Mobile app. It doesn't make sense to have two separate apps for the same product. Regardless, I asked for a workaround and Alexa got stuck in another loop of giving me instructions to connect through the PC app only for me to have to correct her about the PC version not having the capabilities. I tried to change the wording but we kept going through the same dance. IT'S LIKE TALKING TO A GOLDFISH. There is limited memory. You could have the same conversation 10 times and every time is a new experience with Alexa. It blows my mind that with all the amazing AI around today Alexa is so bad. Amazon, the huge megacorp cannot figure it out with their flagship product in the space.

I grabbed this mostly for the color, not gonna lie. The Lavender Bloom is really soft and pretty in person, and it fits perfectly on the small shelf in my daughter's room where we didn't have much space. Setting it up was super easy, took maybe two minutes with the app since we already have other devices. Since it’s smaller than the Dots I’ve used before, I wasn’t expecting the sound to be huge, and it’s not, but it’s surprisingly clear. It’s great for playing kid's songs or just asking about the weather while we’re getting ready in the morning. The shape is a little different since it projects sound forward instead of all around, so I just angled it into the room. I really like the little light bar at the top too, it feels a bit more modern than the old rings. It’s definitely not a speaker for a big party, but for a bedroom or a tight spot on a desk, it’s just right. A nice little addition if you just want Alexa handy without a big footprint.
