Echo Sub Bundle with 2 Echo (2nd Gen) Devices

— $100 off


When we describe Echo smart speakers, we often refer to the device’s ability to fill a room with music when differentiating it from the small Echo Dot. So imagine the sound quality if you pair two Echo smart speakers in stereo mode and configure them to work with an Echo Sub subwoofer. The Echo Sub’s 100-watt deep down-firing 6-inch woofer handles the low-frequency sounds, leaving the two Echo devices to use their 360-degree Dolby-powered speakers to deliver clear mid-range and sparkling high-frequency audio

Regularly priced $330 if purchased separately, this bundle with two Echo smart speakers and the Echo Sub is $230 during this sale. If you’re shopping for house-party-level audio, snap up this deal.
