Amazon Echo Pop

Another Alexa feature accessible through the Echo Pop is Alexa Skills, which are a specific library of abilities that continue to grow. You can have Alexa play you relaxing sounds, test your music trivia knowledge, give you news updates from NPR, and more. You can even say, ‘Alexa, what are your top skills?’ to get more ideas on how to interact with the Echo Pop.

A convenient light bar on the top edge of the Echo Pop gives you a visual indicator as to when you can speak your command to Alexa. Once you say ‘Alexa’, Alexa will begin listening once the light turns blue.

It’s easy to get up and running with the Echo Pop. Simply plug it in, connect it to your home’s internet via the Alexa app, and start interacting with Alexa.

If you want to ensure that nothing is heard by Alexa, simply press the mic off button to disconnect the built-in microphone.

Amazon manufactures the Echo Pop with the environment in mind. 100% of the fabric is from post-consumer recycled yarn, 80% of the aluminum used is recycled, and 100% of the Echo Pop’s packaging can be recycled. There’s also a Low Power mode that can be activated to reduce energy consumption when idle.
