I wasn’t sure I needed another Alexa device in my life, but I also wasn’t sure I needed a new coffee maker until I tried one, so here we are. The Amazon Echo Pop with Alexa has officially earned a permanent spot in my home—and I’m actually mad I didn’t get it sooner.First, the sound. I was shocked at how clear and surprisingly full the sound is for such a compact speaker. It doesn’t just play music, it fills the room without making me feel like I’m listening to a tin can. No, it’s not a full surround sound system, but for the size and price, it’s incredibly impressive.Now let’s talk about the looks. The Echo Pop has this sleek, minimalistic design that blends seamlessly into any room. It doesn’t look like some gadget that screams “I’m here to take over your life,” but more like “Hey, I’m here to help you with whatever you need, and I look adorable doing it.”And, of course, it’s Alexa. So, whether I’m asking for the weather, setting timers, or controlling the smart lights, Alexa responds quickly and reliably. It's like having a personal assistant who doesn't judge you for asking the same question 12 times (like when the UPS package will arrive).But here’s where it gets fun: We’ve set up a routine with Alexa that automatically plays music when the dogs start barking. It’s like Alexa becomes our "bark interrupter"—we get a little peaceful music playing while the dogs realize the barking isn’t necessary. Honestly, it’s the best use of tech I never knew I needed. Plus, it’s a nice little bonus to get the tunes rolling during those random barking bursts.Why I love it: • Great sound quality for the size—fills the room without being overwhelming. • Easy setup, like every Alexa device I’ve ever had. Plug it in, connect, and you’re good to go. • A sleek, stylish design that actually fits into any space without being obtrusive. • Alexa! Need I say more? It’s like having a mini tech genie at your command. • And the best part: our barking routine. The music starts up when the dogs get too loud. Genius.Vine Team, if you’re looking for reviewers who can talk about both smart tech and the fact that this little thing has a surprisingly fun personality—look no further. I’ve got dogs, music, and a soft spot for gadgets that actually work.

The Echo Pop in Lavender Bloom is a delightful smart speaker that packs surprisingly full and clear sound into a small, stylish package. Its compact size fits perfectly on any desk or shelf without taking up much space, and the soft lavender color adds a nice touch to my room’s decor.

The setup was simple, and I appreciate the privacy controls. If you want an affordable, cute, and capable Alexa speaker with great sound, the Echo Pop is an excellent choice.

Absolutely love my Echo Pop! It’s compact, stylish, and the lavender color adds a nice touch to my room. Alexa responds quickly and the sound quality is great for its size. Perfect for playing music, setting reminders, or controlling smart home devices. A great value!

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 RadioNew Standard WNYCIPR Studio 1KTUX FMKSRY FMWJIB FMCafé Del Mar RadioAmericana Boogey RadioAloha JoeQuiet Village RadioWSBZ FMSmooth Jazz 101WABE ClassicalJust ask Alexa to play any of these, and get ready for a treat.
