Amazon's Echo Studio is, hands-down, the company's best overall smart speaker. But at $200, it's always a bit of a toss-up between that model and the identically priced Sonos One or (when it's on sale) Apple HomePod . But today, the Echo Studio is one of several Amazon devices currently on sale as part of a Father's Day promotion at Amazon. You can snag the Studio for $170, or $30 off its usual price.
That meets the lowest price ever recorded at Amazon, and comes within $10 of the lowest price we've ever seen. But today's deal is actually better than that previous Rakuten deal because you don't need to jump through any hoops to get your discount -- just add it to your Amazon cart and checkout.
Besides its great sound, the Echo Studio also includes a built-in hub for connecting to a wider range of smart home gadgets that work on the Zigbee wireless standard. And you can test it out by getting a version of the Studio that comes bundled with a Zigbee-compatible Philips Hue bulb at no extra charge.
Whichever version you choose, order now and you should be able to have what we called "Amazon's best-sounding and most feature-packed speaker yet" show up on dad's doorstep just in time for Father's Day.
