When it comes to smart tech, certain items--an app-controlled lock, for instance--can seem impossibly complicated, especially for beginners. An easy way to become acquainted with these life-changing innovations is with a great smart speaker: They make it easy to listen to your favorite tunes, check the weather and more--all via voice control. Even better, right now, for Black Friday 2020, you can get not one, but two exceptional Amazon Echo smart speakers on sale for a sweet discount.

Last year's Echo was a complete home run for Amazon -- it delivered excellent sound quality and responsive microphones for a relatively inexpensive $100. So how can it make the flagship Alexa speaker any better? It's still $100, but now it looks even more like something ripped from a sci-fi film. The flagship Echo is also being joined by a new Echo Dot that also looks like a sphere, and keeps the low $50 price. There's also an Echo Dot with a clock display for $60, which could make a great bedside companion.
