Echo speakers and displays are often heavily discounted during Prime Day, Amazon's annual sales event, and are big sales drivers ahead of new product launches in the fall. Each year, Amazon offers some of the best discounts of the year on its devices during Prime Day, making it a great time to buy.

As someone who's purchased several Echo devices during past Prime Day events, I always recommend people wait until the July sale to buy them. But so many options can be overwhelming, so ZDNET has gathered the best Prime Day deals on Echo devices you can find during the sale. We'll continue to update this list as Prime Day continues.

FAQs

When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?

Amazon is holding its annual Prime Day sales event, which began today and will run for two days through July 17.

Are Echo devices really cheaper on Prime Day?

Yes, Echo and other Amazon devices get the biggest markdowns during the Prime Day sales event. As a smart home reviewer who always looks for great deals, I've purchased a few Echo devices during Prime Day for this very reason.

Echo Pop vs Echo Dot: Which is the best Prime Day deal?

Amazon's most compact Echo speakers are on sale for $25 or less a piece, but how do you know which one is better for you? The Echo Pop, currently priced at $18, has a front-facing speaker that projects audio in front of the device, so it can be placed on a corner or against the wall. The Echo Dot, available for $25, is a round speaker that projects audio in all directions, has less audio degradation when the volume goes up, and has an action button to wake Alexa, unlike the Echo Pop.

The Echo Pop is also unreliably responsive when you try to call on it with the wake word, especially when the volume is up high, making the lack of an action button more evident.

If I had to choose between the $18 Echo Pop and the $25 Echo Dot, I'd choose the latter.
