With a myriad of smart speakers available in the market today, Amazon’s latest addition to its Echo range is definitely turning heads. Enter the cool and compact Amazon Echo Pop.
This small yet powerful device could potentially redefine the way we use virtual smart speakers.
Amazon Echo Pop Design: A Unique Take
The design of the Amazon Echo Pop is quite innovative. A unique semi-hemispherical shape makes it stand out from other speakers in the Echo range.
With speakers located on the front and covered by a fabric mesh, the rest of the speaker’s body is plastic, making it light and easy to place anywhere in your home. Top buttons allow you to control volume and mute the device.
It also has LED strips that light up fast when you interact with the speaker.
The device is available in Charcoal, Glacier White, Lavender Bloom, and Midnight Teal. However, while it certainly doesn’t steal the spotlight, the design is a good fit for smaller rooms.
Easy Setup Process: No Hassle at All
To get started with your Amazon Echo Pop, download the Alexa app (if you haven’t already) and log into your Amazon account.
No additional hardware or complicated programming required — simply sync the device with the app, and voila! You’re ready to enjoy talking to Alexa.
Performance and Sound Quality: Effortless, All Round
Even when considering the affordable cost, Amazon Echo Pop offers remarkable performance. While it’s not recommended to have high expectations in terms of sound quality, the device fulfills its role as a smart speaker quite well.
Whether you’re playing music, setting an alarm, or controlling the smart devices in your home, it is capable of executing these tasks smoothly. Interestingly, it also allows you to record and playback your own messages — a feature not often found in smart speakers.
However, this is one area where it might need to work on — the audio could be clearer on recordings and calls. While not a deal-breaker, it’s worth mentioning.
Connectivity and Language Support: Diverse and Flexible
Offering Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity that supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, Amazon Echo Pop proves its worth as a smart device. Adding to its versatility is its language support, accommodating users who speak either English or Hindi.
For its modest price tag of ₹4,999, it certainly seems to offer a lot. For first-time buyers, this can be an economical entry into the realm of smart speakers.
It offers a good performance, sleek design, coupled with Alexa skills and access to various music streaming platforms. It may not be perfect, but it’s indeed an excellent start.
