Amazon’s Prime Day is a great opportunity to pick up a number of things at a cheaper than usual price, and that includes smart speakers. In fact, as Amazon is also a smart speaker brand, the annual sales event is usually a great time to pick up the company’s own smart speakers specifically. Smart speakers not only provide a good listening experience, but they also tend to come with an assistant like Alexa or Google Assistant built-in, making them even more useful and powerful.
Smart speakers are a product line that has continually proven popular. One of the reasons for this is their multipurpose use. Besides being able to stream music from popular services, or connect to devices in the home over Bluetooth, these devices are typically very smart. With most coming loaded with a voice assistant, they can be used for so much more than music, including controlling other smart products in the home.
With smart speakers capable of more than other speakers, it is often worth looking at products that will work best with a consumer’s current home setup. For example, those already invested in Amazon’s Alexa, will benefit from going with an Alexa-enabled smart speaker. In contrast, those more involved with Google, might want to consider a Google Assistant-enabled device. This list will be updated as and when other deals go live during Prime Day.
Echo Dot (3rd Gen)
The Echo Dot is Amazon’s smallest smart speaker and while the size is going to impact on the audio quality to some degree, this is still a powerful little speaker. Not to mention, the size does not impact the smarts at all, with Echo Dot just as capable as larger smart speakers, thanks to Alexa. While Echo Dot typically costs $39.99, right now it’s on sale for $18.99.

Echo Studio
Amazon’s Echo Studio is designed to offer a better listening experience for those that don’t want to compromise on the sound quality. Boasting five speakers, Echo Studio is all about the powerful bass, fuller mids, and clearer treble. Not to mention it also comes with built-in Dolby Atmos technology to provide what Amazon refers to as a “multidimensional audio experience.” Echo Studio costs $199.99, but is currently on sale for $149.99.

Bose Home Speaker 500
Bose Home Speaker 500 might not be an Amazon speaker, but it still comes with Alexa built in, making it just as powerful in terms of the features and smart home control. Of course, with this being Bose, buyers will also be getting the company’s signature sound quality. It also comes with a color LCD screen as well. Normally priced at $399, there’s a $100 savings up for grabs, with the Bose Home Speaker 500 now only $299.

Bose Home Speaker 300
As the name suggests, the Bose Home Speaker 300 is part of the same product family as the 500, although it is meant to be a less powerful option. It also doesn’t feature a screen either. However, it is much cheaper considering it is usually priced at $259. Now, it’s even cheaper than that with a Prime Day Deal having seen the Bose Home Speaker 300 price drop down to just $199.
