Echo Pop (Newest gen) | Full sound compact Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart speaker with Alexa | CharcoalReducing CO2

Meet the Echo Pop, the newest gen smart speaker that’s like having your own mini DJ, personal assistant, and gossip buddy—all packed into a cute little orb. It’s small, it’s sassy, and it listens way better than most people I know.Set it up in seconds (I swear it was faster than making instant noodles), and suddenly your home knows what’s up. Want music? Boom. Weather update? Done. Random facts about alpacas? You got it. Plus, it looks so sleek and colorful, I half expect it to start doing the Macarena at any moment.Pros:Compact enough to fit in your hand, but loud enough to wake the neighbors (or at least mildly annoy them).Alexa’s got jokes—and now you get to hear them live.Makes me feel like a futuristic wizard who controls the house with my voice (even if all I do is ask for the weather).Cons:Warning: Might judge your music taste (Alexa, do I really need to listen to “Baby Shark” again?).If you live alone, it might become your new best friend… or your only friend.Final Verdict:Echo Pop is the smart speaker that proves good things come in small, chatty packages. Five stars for making my home smarter—and way more entertaining. Now if only it could do my laundry… 🎉🤖

I haven't used Alexa devices before so can't compare to others. I've also not used it much or done anything particularly interesting with it. Just your basic timers, turning lights on and off and listening to music.But so far I will say that sound quality and comprehension/ responsiveness do seem better than what I'd say is the equivalent Google device. I also don't think Google lets you see your timers in the app and is harder to make named timers with so that's nice too.It's also nice that it remembers where you are with music even after a long time. And it seems to understand Spotify playlists better than Google.It was easy to link up with Govee. I'm not sure it's understanding the snapshots that have been set up in the Govee app but haven't tested that too much. Might have just been that it needed longer to sync up or something.I like that you can just say "five minutes" and it will set a timer. I do wish you could say "thank you" to dismiss timers cos I'm used to that and now I feel mean just saying "stop".And it can measure temperature which I don't think Google (the ones I have at least) can.So far I prefer it to Google largely because it seems more responsive and I've that my Google devices are getting worse and worse at responding to commands.I'm actually surprised by the amount of functionality that the Echo and the Pop have in common. If you're not sure about the price difference then I'd say the Echo is a good option to go for if you don't have other speakers and care about sound quality or if you want that portable battery pack. But I don't think you'd be missing out on too much with the Pop. At least not for basic usage. It's also more compact which could be good for various spaces.

This model is easy to install and use, like most Alexa devices – though if you're not particularly tech-savvy, you might want someone to help set it up.There's no screen on this smaller version, but that's expected, and it still covers all the usual Alexa functions like shopping lists, timers, radio use, and music playback. The sound quality is decent for the size, though not as strong as the larger, more expensive models.Good value for money, especially if you can pick it up during one of Amazon’s frequent sales.

My girlfriend loves this device but I'm somewhat on the fence. The device is fully functional, the speaker quality isn't awful and Alexa is quite receptive to commands and it is easy to use. My main issue is that it must be plugged in at all times for it to function, although this does mean that there is no worrying about battery life. In terms of the value for money it's really good as the device is relatively cheap

I’ll admit it, when I first saw the Echo Pop, I was a bit skeptical and underwhelmed. It’s small, and I’ve been burned before by speakers that promise "big sound" only to leave me wondering if I accidentally purchased a toy. But this little speaker has seriously overachieved.First off, the sound. I mean, I’m no audiophile, but as a musician I know what good sound is, and this thing delivers. It’s crisp, clear, and surprisingly full for something that could easily fit in a backpack. The bass isn't earth-shaking to be honest, but it’s present and does its job well enough to keep the playlists rocking when getting dressed for a night out. You know the kind of speaker you put on in the background in the bedroom and suddenly realize you’re getting into the groove.Setup is a breeze. Alexa is right there, ready to help with anything from the weather to playing obscure music requests (you know, those songs that no one else has heard of; like my own band!). It connects to both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so I can either stick to my usual playlists or throw on some random tunes from my phone when I’m feeling extra spontaneous.It’s the perfect size to place anywhere without overwhelming the space but still packs enough punch to fill most rooms. I have it in the bedroom.If you’re after a speaker that doesn’t take up much room but still delivers pretty good quality sound and with additional smart features, this little guy’s got your back. Don’t let its size fool you; it’s got a big personality.

The product was excellent. Works as it should and is great value for money. It is compact and has good sound quality. Would definitely recommend.

Nice device to play music through and the usual Alexa stuff. Bought for eldest and she loves listening to story time through it and dancing to music. Has good clarity, looks fun in this colour.
