Great sound for a small device at an excellent price
I love this lil speaker, I figured charcoal matches everything, but now contemplating purchasing an additional echo pop in lavender for the bedroom & using the charcoal one in the bathroom or something. It's such a a great deal and excellent sound quality, ya just can't beat it.I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the quality and volume of this echo pop. Unfortunately my home was robbed and the thieves had stolen my Echo Show & one of my echo dots, I didn't have a lot of money to purchase another device, so with this being on sale 50% off, I decided to try it and I am glad I did. I think it actually sounds better than the show & dot, although my show was an older generation but the dot was fairly new. Either way, I am very pleased with the quality of this device. It was super easy to set up and I am grateful that it automatically links to my account. Plus I am grateful to be able to completely deactivate the stolen devices so they can't be used or registered to anyone else.

I recently tried out the Echo Pop, a portable smart speaker that offers all the features of Alexa. Here's what I discovered:

Despite its compact size, the Echo Pop's sound quality is surprisingly good. It fills a room with clear audio, making listening to music or podcasts easy. The built-in voice assistant, Alexa, works flawlessly, allowing you to control music easily, set timers, and answer questions. The device's portability is a significant advantage—I can quickly move it around the house, taking my music and smart home controls with me.

The only things I needed out of an Alexa device for my office was the ability to issue voice commands and to be able to see the notification light. These little half-Dots are perfect for that. It takes up almost no space, responds consistently, and has a nice, bright light at the top edge of the circular speaker face that goes on with notifications/package deliveries. The sound quality is good enough to use on my Everywhere music group. I wish they'd put a black cord on the black unit instead of a white one, as it looks odd. But other than that, I'd buy one of these again if I needed a second one.

Whether you're delving into the intricate melodies of classical orchestras or surrendering to the pulsating rhythms of contemporary beats, the Echo Pop adapts with unparalleled versatility, ensuring an enthralling encounter with every genre and musical preference.

Furthermore, the Echo Pop's dynamic range is nothing short of awe-inspiring. From the gentle whisper of a violin to the thunderous roar of a bass drum, it effortlessly traverses the entire spectrum of frequencies, delivering a sonic experience that transcends mere listening and evolves into a visceral journey through the essence of sound.

But perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Echo Pop is its ability to evoke emotion. Beyond its technical prowess lies an intangible quality—a soulful resonance that stirs the heart and awakens the senses. Each listening session becomes a transformative experience, imbued with the power to uplift, inspire, and transport you to realms unknown.

In conclusion, the Echo Pop Speaker stands as a testament to the pursuit of sonic perfection.

Color: Glacier WhiteConfiguration: Device onlyVerified Purchase
The Amazon Echo Pop was my first experience with an Alexa device, and I could kick myself for not buying 2 of these at the sale price of just under $23. At that price, these little smart speakers are well worth it. However, at the list price, you might do better to spend another $10 and go for the Echo Dot. Better still, if you can pick up an Echo Gen4 as certified refurbished, then that is quite a good deal at around $50.

Prior to purchasing the Echo Pop, I installed the Alexa App on my iPhone, and during order time, I did the pre-configuration. Upon arrival, the setup was a breeze, and in a matter of just a few minutes I was greeted by a pleasant sounding female voice. The audio quality of this little speaker was amazing. I asked it a few questions, then said “Alexa, play Peaceful Current Radio.” It was a truly Hi-Fidelity experience, even though it was monophonic. On that station, a great deal of the music is solo acoustic, so stereo , 3D, or surround sound isn’t necessary to hear the clear and faithful reproduction of a piano, guitar, or cello. The bass from this speaker isn’t going to rattle the walls, but the little speaker was able to fill my master bedroom with beautiful music, that sounded like the instruments were in the same room.

That should cover the good points about this smart device. I rarely give any product 5 stars, but if I could give it a rating of 4.5 I would, primarily because of what it can do at such a low sell price. There are some issues that you might want to consider if you are looking for a good Echo Device. It is far from perfect. Its smarts are at the low end, and a good Wi-Fi connection is needed if you want a fast response. It can’t function as a hub, so if you want to control various smart devices in your home, you will likely need an Echo Gen4 or better. It doesn’t have a 3.5 mm audio jack, so if you want to connect to headphones or external speakers, you will need to use Bluetooth. The Bluetooth connection can be tricky, but once you pair with speakers, it quickly disconnects and reconnects by just turning off the speakers and turning them back on. I also found out that after doing this several times, it began to experience streaming problems, and I had to unplug it and plug it back in to fix the problem.

Bluetooth streaming seems to suffer a bit in fidelity. I paired it with some Logitech Bluetooth computer speakers, and even though it produced stereo sound, the frequency response was not as good, and the stereo separation was weak. Some of this was likely due to the Logitech speakers. They aren’t exactly the best computer speakers and I am not too fond of the passive radiator design that gives the base an unnatural sound.

I tried a separate GT Bluetooth to 3.5 mm adaptor, which I connected to my retro audio system, and the sound quality was a little better, but I had to crank the volume knob up pretty high. When I connected the Bluetooth adaptor to wired headphones it sounded pretty good, so using Bluetooth headphones seems a good alternative listening method.

One other issue is with the alarm level. I can’t seem to set it to a level that will override the music, and alert me that it’s time to take medications or walk the dog. It usually takes me awhile to realize that it is sounding a wake-up. It is loud enough when not playing music, but too low of a level when music is playing.

Overall, it is a very good device, and its small size makes it easy to place in an out of the way location, such as in the kitchen or bathroom. It has great sounding audio that can fill a small room, but not quite good enough to fill a large family or living room. It really shines at playing relaxing music such as from an Internet radio station such as “Peaceful Current Radio,” or other similar music stations. However, for Rock- and Roll or party music, you will likely want something with a little more punch.

Update:
I just had to do a follow up to my previous review. I caught a sell and picked up another Echo Pop for just under $20. That means I acquired 2 of these for around $45 with tax. They make a great stereo pair. Two speakers are better than one. You get double the sound. This means a great improvement in the base response. With 2 drivers pushing the air, they do a better job. I just tweak the bass response 2 notches, and the treble 1 notch, and these rival the audio quality of my much larger and more expensive JBL studio monitor bookshelf speakers with a 100 watt per channel amplifier pushing them. Of course they can’t match the power, but 2 of these in a stereo pair can do a pretty good job in my 13 by 13 master bedroom with vaulted ceiling. I’m considering adding an Echo Sub hidden away under my bed.

Alexa does a much better job at finding my favorite Internet radio stations as well. Siri keeps telling me she can’t find that in my Apple music library.

I have a database of URLs to over 9000 radio stations. Alexa easily finds most of my favorites such as:
Peaceful current Radio
New Standard WNYC
IPR Studio 1
KTUX FM
KSRY FM
WJIB FM
Café Del Mar Radio

We got this device to replace an old Echo Dot we had.

Wow! The sound is surprisingly great for such a small device, dare I say even better then the Dot? The color is really cute, takes up very little space. Also so responsive!!! Actually listens to you the first time.
