The fifth-generation Amazon Echo Dot is our favorite smart speaker at the moment.

It is a brand-new speaker with serious sound.However, you might as well wait for the most recent Echo Dot smart speaker, which will start shipping on October 20 if you want to add an Alexa device to every room.A redesigned audio architecture makes the updated Dot promise twice as much bass and better sound than ever before.It can also act as an Eero router-compatible Wi-Fi mesh extender.Alexa can, as always, control your smart home devices, play music, call other Echo owners, and do a slew of other things.It is currently available for preorder, is easily worth the $50 price tag, and Amazon is likely to reduce the price for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
