This little smart speaker has improved audio that competes with more expensive rivals like the HomePod mini.

This Echo Dot model launched in 2022 with clearer voices, deeper bass, and a more vibrant overall sound than previous generations. Of course, it will pale in comparison to larger, much more expensive speakers, but good luck finding anything else of this quality for that asking price. It's Engadget's current pick for best smart speaker under $50.

The speaker supports direct streaming from Spotify, amazon Music, and Apple Music. It also works great for podcasts and you can use it as a Bluetooth speaker with unsupported apps. Alexa lets you control smart home accessories, get weather updates, and ask general questions. Outfitting your home with smart speakers can be expensive, but this asking price could allow you to place Alexa in any room for a modest initial investment.

The speaker has a nice round shape and minimalist style. It measures just 3.9 inches at its widest point and won't take up much space on a table or desk. It's available in charcoal, white, and blue, all on sale for the same price.

If you're transforming your home into a smart home, you can opt for a smart light package for the same price.
