I’m overdue a smart speaker upgrade, and these are the 3 models I’m tempted by this President’s Day

As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes all things audio streaming, I’d be nowhere without the help of the best smart speakers. But while I love my trusted Echo Pop, I’m overdue an upgrade – and the Presidents’ Day sales are a great excuse to do so.

Though it’s still a week away, retailers are already getting the ball rolling with early Presidents’ Day deals on some of our favorite smart speaker models out there. Amazon‘s flagship Alexa+ speaker, the Echo Dot Max, has dropped back down to its lowest price ($79.99, was $99.99), which is just as good as its Black Friday listing.

Or, if you’re someone who wants to make the switch from an Echo device, I’d recommend having a look at Best Buy’s President’s Day sale for the Sonos Era 100 ($179, was $219), which will take your smart home setup to a different level.

If you’re in the same boat as me and want more out of your smart home speaker, whether that’s for better audio quality or a more responsive voice assistant, you’ve come to the right place.
