The Amazon EchoPop is the least expensive way to get into the Alexa ecosystem — and it's a good way at that.
Amazon Echo Pop MSRP $40.00 Score Details “The Amazon Echo Pop, the least-expensive entry into the Alexa ecosystem, does what it advertises.” Pros Cons What is there to say about an Amazon Echo that hasn’t been said a million times already? You know what it is. You know what it does. And you probably have a good idea of what it’s going to be like given how much, or how little, it costs.
And that’s not to say that the Pop sounds bad. It doesn’t. It’s perhaps better at lower volumes than it is if you attempt to blast things a bit. There’s a hint of bass, but without any sort of heft to it. As the volume increases, the mids and highs get muddied, and that semblance of bass gets lost. Back to that product description. Amazon bills the Echo Pop as a “compact smart speaker,” and it definitely is that. The flat front face is just about 4 inches across — a smidge bigger than a softball. The power cord plugs into the back, and the plug end of things definitely is a little chonky. But otherwise, this is a diminutive speaker that you can tuck away wherever. Other than that missing front facet, it’s basically the same size as an Echo Dot.
Then there’s the bonus networking feature, with the caveat that every network is different. An Echo Pop can be used to extend your home network — if you happen to also be using an Eero mesh router system . Amazon says an Echo Pop can add up to 1,000 square feet of coverage, which isn’t awful.
