Amazon‘s range of Echo speakers make up some of the best smart speakers out there, tying all parts of your smart home set up together. Although Amazon’s early Prime day sale is in full swing, deals on Echo speakers have been quite sparse – until now.

Now that we’re getting closer to Amazon’s huge sales event we’re seeing more Echo speaker bundle deals crop up than before, especially with Echo Spot, and Echo Dot (5th Gen) models. I’ll be honest, though I can’t see them being an audiophile’s best friend, they’re still mighty smart home hubs that cover all the basics, and even better now they’re bundled with the best smart lights and best video doorbells.

But why is now a good time to buy? For starters, Amazon’s early Prime Day sale has been rather quiet with all things Echo speakers until now, and some of the smart home bundles it has on offer are dropping to Black Friday prices.

I know what you’re thinking – Amazon Prime Day is still a few days away – but although it’s tempting to hang around in the hope of further price drops, there’s always that chance they’ll return to their retail price. So if you’re not prepared to take that risk, allow me to show you what I think are the best Echo bundle deals to grab in the early Amazon Prime Day sale.

Each of these speakers makes a great companion if you’re new to smart home tech, or if you’re not too fussed about immaculate audio quality and need something small and simple to fill a space.

Speaking from my own experience, Amazon’s Echo Pop has served me well for the best part of a year, covering all the smart home basics I need for a small space. These range from flash briefings, linking to my music streaming services, and giving me an extra pair of hand when it comes to using my smart TV.
