Amazon’s most capable smart speaker has been enjoying its place at the top of the Alexa lineup without any price cuts as of late, and now to start the work week we’re tracking the year’s second chance to save. The Echo Studio fittingly gets its name from the sort of studio sound you’ll be able to enjoy from its robust internal speaker system, and now you can do so with a 2023 all-time low. The smart speaker clocks in at $159.99 shipped in both the original charcoal style, as well as the recently-refreshed glacier colorway. Normally fetching $200 in either case, you’re looking at only the second chance this year to save with $40 in cash kept in your wallet. We last saw the speaker on sale back at the very beginning of May, for comparison.

Amazon’s flagship Echo Studio speaker arrives with a fabric-wrapped design that still keeps it at home in amongst the other Alexa devices from the company, while stepping up the design to fit in all of the higher-end audio components. There’s notably Spatial Audio processing tech packed in to deliver even more immersive sound from its 5-speaker system that comes backed by Dolby Atmos certification. There’s of course all of the streaming service support from the likes of Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify, as well as all the hands-free Alexa access you’d expect for controlling smart home gear, answering questions, and helping out in the kitchen. Then Amazon backs the smart home tech with a built-in Zigbee and Matter hub for an even longer list of supported devices. Dive into our announcement coverage for a closer look.

Much of the east coast right now is battling the effects of dangerous air quality from the Canadian wildfires. Stepping in to make sure your indoor space is safe from the dusty air, Amazon is now offering its Smart Air Quality Monitor for $54.99 shipped. Already one of the more affordable solutions on the market, pricing gets even better with a $15 discount from the usual $70 going rate. This is the third-best price to date, dropping down to within $6 of the all-time low last set back in December. Providing stats on five different factors of your home’s air quality, this sensor can monitor temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide, VOCs, and PM 2.5 particulate matter. Though it’s those last two that really matter for ensuring your home has safe air. It not only alerts you when conditions change, but will also let you automate the rest of your setup based on those stats. So when things get too hot this summer you can automatically kick on the AC, or use a fan to help get some circulation when the air quality drops down. You can also get a better idea of what to expect from our launch coverage.

Joining just about every other corner of Amazon’s stable of in-house devices seeing discounts for spring, the latest collection of Echo Dot Alexa speakers are now getting in on the deals. This time around, shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $25 and carries over from the just-released 5th Gen models to more budget-friendly offerings that all start from $20. Our top pick this time is discounting the just-released Echo Dot 5th Gen with Clock for only the fourth time. Now down to $39.99, this recent debut would more typically set you back $60. Now down by 33%, this is marking an all-time low for only the second time. It’s the first time we’ve seen this deep of a discount land in 2023, and the lowest since Black Friday at $5 under our previous mention.

Amazon’s new Echo Dot 5th Gen arrives with much of the same spherical design we’ve seen in the past, but packs some improved tech to justify the refresh. Inside is a new sound system that makes this the best sounding Echo Dot to date with clearer vocals and deeper bass. The built-in LED display shows you the time, but now can also display weather stats, songs, alarms, and other info to complement all of the usual Alexa features. Head below for discounts on the other new Echo Dot 5th Gen models and more.

After seeing its latest lineup of Fire tablets as well as Kindle e-readers go on sale to start the week, Amazon is now carrying over the savings to a collection of Echo smart displays. Shipping is free across the board. Headlining the sale is the Echo Show 15 for $194.99. Normally fetching $250, today’s offer amounts the third-best discount yet at $55 off. This is the first chance to save since back on Cyber Monday, as well.

Delivering Amazon’s largest screen-based Alexa experience yet, the Echo Show 15 is fittingly centered around a wall-mountable 15.6-inch screen. You’ll find all of the usual hands-free voice control access for commanding smart home devices and the like, as well as some more novel features allowed by the screen form-factor. The new Visual ID feature will automatically adjust content based on who’s in the room, and the larger display now supports a refreshed widget system for showing off family reminders, photos, and much more.
