The Echo Pop is a completely new speaker form factor to use Alexa.
Instead of a round design like the Echo Dot, the Pop looks a bit different. Made for smaller spaces, it offers a 1.95-inch front-firing speaker.
Just like other Echo smart speakers, you can use the Pop to tap Alexa for a wide variety of tasks. Along with being able to control smart home devices, play music, and more, you can also access a huge catalog of Alexa skills. Make sure to see our choices forthe best free Alexa skills.
