Other Alexa (or Alexa Compatible) Speakers
Amazon Echo Pop for $40: The Echo Pop is a perfectly fine little speaker, and the cutest one in Amazon's lineup. Does it have great sound? No. It's fine enough for background tunes or if you're limited to a dorm room, but you'll get much better sound for a similar size from the Echo Dot (but you'll pay a little more, and you won't get as cute of colors!)
Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) for $90: This smart display is another just-fine option, but it's too small to be a great display, and the included camera makes it a no for a bedside table; better to go with the above Echo Spot or an Echo Dot.
Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) for $250: This smart display has big sound, but its wonky shape makes it hard to seamlessly fit into your home. It's cool that it can follow you around while you speak to it, but also kinda weird. It's great if you have a big kitchen island you're always moving around, but not much else. Note: It's currently out of stock but expected to be back in soon.
Amazon Echo Show 15 (2nd Gen) for $300: This smart display is a good display, but it clearly wants to double as a TV and isn't very good at it yet. I'm hoping we see better TV-related performance in the future to make it worth adding to a kitchen or office. It does a great job with widgets, though, thanks to the massive 15.6-inch screen. There's also the larger Echo Show 21 ($400), which is essentially the same thing but larger.
Amazon Echo Studio for $200: The Echo Studio is our favorite Echo speaker for sound quality, but availability has been limited—it was only in stock for a few days of July. Amazon did not confirm how steady its availability will be when asked.
Amazon Echo Sub for $130: This was our top pick for bass, which can be paired with other Echo speakers to add some bass to your jam sessions. It's currently unavailable on Amazon but still around for third-party retailers like Best Buy, and we're keeping a eye out to see if it comes back in stock or not. Amazon did not confirm whether or not it would when asked.
Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 (2nd Gen) for $250: The Beosound A1 is a durable, beautiful, and great-sounding listening companion, and this second-generation version has an Alexa integration to make it an Alexa speaker anywhere you go. It's a great speaker, but it's more expensive than the Sonos Roam.
