Today, Amazon unveiled a limited edition version of its Echo Pop smart home speaker featuring the logos of NFL teams The new version of the compact smart speaker is designed for all 32 teams in the professional football league
The speaker is powered by Amazon's AI-powered assistant Alexa and can play music, check the weather and news, and control other compatible smart home devices
The Echo Pop is the least expensive Amazon Alexa-powered smart speaker, usually selling for $40; the NFL version is priced slightly higher at $5999 The speaker comes with an NFL faceplate and sleeve
Not all devices seem to get the same level of design as the LA Rams, seen above, or the Denver Broncos, seen below Some, like the Minnesota Vikings, just have their logo on the faceplate of the speaker You have to look through the list to see if your team has a little more design love
Amazon confirmed to Tom's Guide that each device comes with an NFL faceplate and a sleeve with a Glacier White Echo Pop This means that team colors will be available on all team versions [In a review of the Echo Pop last year, Tom's Guide editor-in-chief Mike Prospero said, “When Amazon first announced the Echo Pop, I was pretty skeptical Amazon was able to cut $10 - and front - off the Echo Dot by stripping away features that many people are unlikely to use
If you're looking for a bedside speaker, I'd recommend the $59 Echo Dot with Clock But if you just need an inexpensive smart speaker that can play pretty good music, the Echo Pop is worth a try”
As he said, if you are not interested in smart home features and just want a music-playing smart speaker with the logo of your favorite NFL team, the new Echo Pop variant might be a good choice
The speakers are available for pre-order now, but not all team devices will ship at the same time Fans of the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks will get their devices first, while the other teams will be released in the following order until November 19
