[Deal du Jour] Amazon is offering its two 5th generation Echo Dot models with an interesting promotion. This range of connected speakers is packed with practical everyday functionality, and is much more interesting at this price.
What is this promotion on the Echo Dot 5?
The Echo Dot 5th generation from 2022, basic model, is normally sold for €64.99. It is currently offered at the price of €24.99 on Amazon.
The 5th generation Echo Dot, model with clock, is usually sold for €74.99. It is priced at €44.99 on Amazon.
What is the Echo Dot 5?
The 5th generation Echo Dot is a connected speaker from Amazon recognizable by its ball design. Its dimensions of 10.01 × 10.01 × 8.97 cm make it a compact and discreet object that will easily harmonize with your interior. Note that it does not have any IP certification, and you will therefore have to be careful if it is intended for your bathroom. A light base accompanies its sleek design and adds a touch of blue, yellow or red color, depending on the situation.
The model with a clock also has an LED display implemented on the front panel, to display the time, the weather forecast for the day or the titles of the songs currently playing. The information is perfectly readable. Both models let you control compatible connected devices. Note that this new generation of Amazon speakers sees the appearance of a temperature sensor, to work in conjunction with a compatible connected thermostat, in order to create routines for turning on a heater or a fan.
Are the Echo Dot 5s interesting at this price?
The Echo Dots are a great deal when they’re on sale. In terms of audio, they have nothing to be ashamed of compared to certain Bluetooth speakers present in our dedicated guide. The defects of previous models are corrected, and the speaker delivers much better bass and a better balanced overall sound. Without matching the performance of a high-end speaker, the Echo Dot 5 does a good job for music, with clear vocals and true sound, even at high volume.
The Amazon Alexa application for smartphones and tablets allows you to control the speaker with the sound of your voice. Physical buttons are still present for basic controls. Note that the Echo Dot integrates with the Alexa Cast ecosystem to control other compatible home automation products.
