Amazon has slashed the price of one of its popular Echo speakers by 51 per cent in one of the best deals the Best Picks team have spotted this week.
For a limited time only, the Echo Pop speaker will cost just $39 instead of $79.
The speaker — which comes in black, white, purple and turquoise — is fully compatible with both wi-fi and Bluetooth, and it works with Alexa, so you can ask it questions and give orders, too.

According to Amazon, the compact smart speaker is “perfect for bedrooms and small spaces” because it will blend in in a room, but also “stand out” in terms of sound quality.
“You can ask Alexa to play music, audiobooks and podcasts from your favourite providers, or have it set timers, check the weather, read the news, make calls, answer questions, add to your shopping list and more,” product information states.
The deal is already proving popular, with hundreds of Echo Pop speakers already being sold this month.
Those who have bought the device have raved about it on Amazon.
“Surprisingly very good for such a small device,” one shopper wrote.
“The Echo Pop in Midnight Teal is a remarkable compact smart speaker that seamlessly blends style and functionality.
“Designed to fit effortlessly into any space, this speaker boasts a full sound experience that is bound to captivate your senses.”
The same reviewer added: “With built-in Alexa integration, it offers a world of convenience and entertainment at your fingertips”.
Another said: “Small but wow! Received the Echo Pop at a reduced price when I signed up for Amazon Prime. I wasn’t expecting anything much, but I’m thrilled by this little gem.
“Yes, there are bigger speakers out there. I even have a similar competitor’s product with a screen.
“But this is so unintrusive, handy and responsive to voice commands that it’s now on my office desk, playing music, giving me weather and news updates, and generally making itself helpful in ways that I’m still discovering.”
This isn’t the only Echo product that’s on sale right now.
You can also get the slightly larger Echo Dot for $69 instead of $99, or the Echo Show 10 tablet device for $379 instead of $429.
