Smart speakers are everywhere these days, but some smaller models struggle with sound quality. B&H now offers the best of both worlds, bundling the compact Amazon Echo Dot and the euphonious Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Music System together for just $189, priced down from $239. Sounds like a pretty smart deal to us.

Bose SoundTouch 10

Anyone who knows Bose has heard how great their products sound. Bose has built a reputation on audio quality, with its sound bars and speakers among our favorite home audio options. The Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Music System is the smallest speaker in the SoundTouch family, but it still packs a punch. Best-in-the-business Bose sound quality is complemented by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, letting you control your SoundTouch 10 remotely from your phone or tablet.

Easily enable all your favorite streaming music services, like Spotify, Pandora, and more, as well as internet radio stations, and of course, your stored music library. Six custom presets allow instant access to your preferred music sources, and pairing compatibility lets you link your SoundTouch 10 with other SoundTouch systems to create an immersive, multi-room audio experience. While the SoundTouch 10 is a world-class wireless speaker, it lacks some key features found in smart speaker systems. Which is precisely why it pairs perfectly with the…

Amazon Echo Dot

Amazon’s most popular smart speaker, the compact Echo Dot offers many of the same capabilities as other Echo models at a fraction of the size and cost. The hands-free, hockey-puck-shaped device, like the rest of the Echo series, is powered by Amazon’s all-powerful Alexa audio control. Ask Alexa to play music, make calls, control compatible home smart devices, check the weather, and much more. With 50,000 skills, and more being added each day, the Amazon assistant packs plenty of power into this pint-sized package. With a 1.6-inch, 360-degree speaker of its own, the Echo Dot doesn’t skimp on sound, but its size limits its efficacy as a standalone speaker. When bundled with the boisterous sound of the Bose SoundTouch 10, however, the Echo Dot becomes a smart speaker to be reckoned with.

Brand loyalty is big in tech, but sometimes combining rival products is the way to go. Head over to B&H now to save big on the best of both Bose and Amazon in one dynamic deal.

Amazon Echo Dot 3rd-gen vs. Echo Dot 4th-gen
Amazon Echo Dot (4th Gen) on table

Amazon's lineup of Echo speakers is an impressive collection of smart home devices, with the Echo Dot being one of the most popular models. Whether you're using one as a stand-alone assistant to keep tabs on your schedule, listen to the news, or play music, or you've tasked your speaker with controlling your home's other smart home gear, the Echo Dot is a great way to get things done. But with multiple years on the market, the Dot has seen more than one generation. The 3rd-generation Echo Dot was the last to hang onto Amazon's puck-shaped design, moving into spherical territory with the release of the 4th-gen. That's not all that changed, either.

If you've been considering an upgrade from gen-3 to 4, or you simply want to know the differences between both Dots, we've put together this side-by-side comparison of both speakers. Read on to see which Dot is best for you or take a look at our pick for the best Cyber Monday Echo Dot deal.

Here’s what we want to see in the next Amazon Echo smart speaker
Echo Dot 4th Gen Clock Model

With Amazon's annual fall event coming up sometime soon, the rumor mills have gone wild with what we can expect to see. While everyone has high hopes, I want to see improvements made to the Echo smart speaker lineup.

There are three main entries: The Echo Dot, the Echo, and the Echo Studio -- all covering the price gamut. Last year alone, we saw redesigns to the flagship Echo and Echo Dot smart speakers, but the Echo Studio is now two generations old. While other variants such as the Echo Plus and Sub are unlikely to get the upgrade treatment, it's still quite possible for Amazon to announce iterative upgrades and other variants. There's really a lot to explore here, given the popularity of Amazon's smart speakers.

Amazon Echo vs. Apple HomePod: Which has better speakers?

If you haven't jumped into the smart speaker pool, it’s probably because it’s a tough decision. Choosing a smart speaker isn't just about picking a model with the best sound quality or the color that matches your living room. Smart speakers also have major smart home control properties and can play nicely with some music services, streaming TV channels (if you opt for a speaker with a screen), or home security systems.

A smart speaker opens the door for expanding your smart home portal. Since most of us won’t buy a smart home speaker to work with a Ring Video Doorbell and another to manage Apple’s HomeKit via your iPhone, you'll want to choose carefully. For a lot of buyers, that comes down to a choice between Apple HomePod or Amazon Echo (and if you're short on space it might just be HomePod Mini versus Echo Dot).
