If you’re looking for a smart speaker that can deal with general requests and smart home control, then you’d be hard-pressed to find a better choice than the affordable Echo Pop.
The entry-level model in Amazon’s Echo range, the Echo Pop is a compact Bluetooth speaker that should fit neatly in most households. Plus, unsurprisingly, the Pop is fitted with Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa.
Alexa support essentially allows you to control the Echo Pop with just a simple voice command. You can do anything from asking Alexa to tell you the time, read out the news headlines or play music via your favourite streaming platform, and the Echo Pop will respond accordingly.
Have any smart home devices, such as light bulbs, plugs or even smart locks? With just a simple command, Alexa can control any compatible device seamlessly, without requiring you to even get up from your seat.
Otherwise, Alexa is packed with heaps of skills to help make your and your family’s life that bit easier. Not only can Alexa play white noise to help you sleep, but you can also play games with your family and even help the kids with their homework too.
For additional peace of mind, Amazon explains that the Echo Pop is built with “multiple layers of privacy protection and control”, including a microphone off button. You’ll know when Alexa is listening as the Pop’s light bar will turn blue, so hitting the microphone off button means it can’t listen out for that “Alexa” call.
In his review, Home Technology Editor David Ludlow concluded the Echo Pop is a “cool-looking smart speaker” and advises “if you’re after a basic smart speaker for general requests and smart home control, this speaker could work.”
