Amazon Echo Buds review: takes on AirPods with better sound, Bose noise cancelling, zero style

 

So… £120 for Echo Buds with Alexa and noise cancelling or £160 for AirPods with Siri and no noise cancelling? Not a hard choice, if you don't mind the basic looks…

Amazon Echo Buds review

 

Amazon swings for the AirPods… but misses

Decent noise-cancellation ; Reasonable battery life

Inconsistent sound ; Character changes with volume ; Hit and miss touch controls ; Buds can’t change volume

Amazon’s AirPods rivals are so flawed in their current state, it’s impossible to recommend them

Amazon's answer to the Galaxy Buds and AirPods, the Echo Buds undercut these rivals and offer active noise cancelling on top. Here's our review.

Amazon Echo Buds review

 

Ear we go

Decent sound ; Noise reduction is great ; Hands-free Alexa ; Gesture controls are fine, if slightly limited

Uninspiring design ; Horrible case ; Some audio inconsistencies ; So-so battery life

Not the best true wireless buds you can buy, but you won’t match their feature set at this price

Echo Buds review: Alexa smarts packed into a mediocre AirPods rival

 

Amazon got some things right with its AirPod rival. Hands-free Alexa is great for voice control and works well. But, the sound quality is decent at best, the touch controls are limited and battery life is less than what the competition offers in 2019....

Hands-free Alexa works well ; Affordable price ; Customization

Battery life ; Limited touch controls ; Mediocre sound quality ; micro-USB charging

Amazon Echo Buds (1st Gen) Review

 

Hands-free Alexa voice control ; Good active noise reduction ; Clear, balanced sound ; Comfortable fit

Somewhat weak lows and highs ; Limited controls ; Not waterproof

Amazon's Echo Buds are wire-free earphones with a lot of functionality for $130, including hands-free Alexa voice control and Bose-tuned active noise reduction.

They lack some pizzazz, but the Echo Buds are likable true wireless earbuds with always-on Alexa and Bose noise reduction.

 

They lack some pizzazz, but the Echo Buds are likable true wireless earbuds with always-on Alexa and Bose noise reduction.

The Amazon Echo Buds sound good, have hands-free Alexa and Bose noise-reduction technology. They're sweat resistant, fit comfortably and work well for making calls.

In noisier environments, you sometimes can't activate Alexa with your voice. You charge the Buds via Micro-USB instead of USB-C.

The Echo Buds are likable earbuds with always-on Alexa and solid Bose-powered noise reduction -- just consider waiting until they're on sale before buying them.

Amazon Echo Buds review: great sound at the right price

 

At just $130, the Echo Buds are worth a look even if you never use the Alexa features.

Excellent sound quality ; Good, comfortable fit ; Bose’s noise reduction makes a difference

Micro USB. UGH. ; No wireless charging ; Some early bugs

Amazon’s first truly wireless earbuds, the Echo Buds, exceed expectations with fantastic sound quality and effective Bose noise reduction. At just $130, they’re also priced super aggressively compared to AirPods and other competition.
