Few utilities reduce labor in my house as much as using a voice assistant: I use it for turning out the lights, arming the alarm, summoning the vacuum, suggesting recipe substitutions, or doing math. To that end, I am always within speaking range of a device in my home to catch my requests. If your assistant of choice is Alexa, today is the (prime) day to grab more devices or upgrade the ones you have, as they are being offered up to 50% off.
Not only are these little Pops the cheapest way to put a speaker in each room, I actually prefer them in most cases.
