Amazon's Echo Dot drops to just $28

Amazon's Echo Dot has dropped to $28, which is a great price for our favorite sub-$50 smart speaker.

So, if you want to use your voice to control such devices, you may need to pick up a secondary smart speaker, such as Amazon's Echo Dot. The globe-shaped speaker has some physical buttons, including ones for volume control and another that mutes/unmutes the microphone if you don't want Alexa to remain alert for voice commands at all times. It could prove to be a handy bedside speaker for listening to podcasts or a sleep story when it's time to nod off.
